Stop Telling Your Brain What You Don't Want

About this episode

This episode discusses how negative self-talk affects weight management and offers strategies to focus on positive outcomes instead.

Don't think about a banana. You just did. That's exactly the problem with how you talk to yourself about weight — "don't eat that," "don't be lazy," "don't gain it back." Your brain hears the very thing you're trying to avoid. In this episode, I explain why your subconscious can't process a negative, and how to redirect it toward what you actually want instead. 🎧 Download the free "New Thin Me" hypnosis session.
