think-feel-eat

Hi! I'm Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of "The Minus 220 Pound Pair" as my husband and I have lost over 200 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!). In this episode, I present my February Thought Work—and How to Get Your Thought Work Started! This episode digs into what Thought Work is and how to set yourself up to implement ongoing Thought Work for weight loss or any goals you have. It begins with the differences in Thoughts (and Beliefs—and how Beliefs are more difficult to control than simple, fleeting Thoughts), Feelings, and Actions. And then delves into the interrelationship among the three and how we can manage our Thoughts if we do it on purpose and with a dependable framework, such as Think-Feel-Act or Brooke Castillo’s Self-Coaching Model or both. I dig into some General How To’s for personal Thought Work, including a framework, calendaring it, keeping it simple, being in self-integrity by making small, tiny, atomic habits (Fogg, Clear). I describe how perfection will hold us back from managing our minds and changing our lives. I introduce my downloadable Think-Feel-Act worksheet (available here: http://donnareish.com/donnas-freebies/ ) for listeners to print off in multiples and use for consistent Thought Work. The top of this sheet has a Thought Drops section to “download” or “drop” all of your Thoughts. The bottom half has the Thought-Feel-Actions section. I detail how to use this sheet. Then I use some of my February Thought Work to show you how to do the Thought Drops and how to choose which single Thought to work on for that day. I plug my sample Thought into the “Unintentional” side (or the unmanaged side) and show how that Thought leads to a Feeling of defeat and actions that do not serve me in my weight loss. Then I show my new Thought (a believable one) and how to follow that through the Think-Feel-Eat cycle.

Hi! I'm Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of "The Minus 220 Pound Pair" as my husband and I have lost over 200 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!). This episode of Think-Feel-Eat explains the commonalities and differences between Brain Hacks and Thought Work! I love using Brain Hacks AND Thought Work in my weight management and fitness journey. They both help me---in different ways and at different times. Knowing the limitations of some Brain Hacks while understanding the time and effort (at least 15 minutes a day) that I need to put into Thought Work to utilize it fully are both things that help me on a daily basis. So I wanted to share these things with my readers and listeners! This episode also includes a short list of some Brain Hacks that experts recommend (that I love!) and some steps to effective Thought Work. And....how Thought Work can help Brain Hacks be even more effective for us. So if you want to learn how to utilize deep breathing, mantras, five second rule (Mel Robbins), gratitude, and more, stay tuned. If you want to know how amazingly effective Thought Work can be on your journey, stay tuned!
