207. How to Quiet Your Inner Critic Through Tiny Efforts

2023-08-2412:04

Are you tired of setting goals and falling short? Do you find yourself constantly trying to make rapid transformations, only to fizzle out a few days later? You're not alone. In today's episode of The Fit Mess podcast, we discuss how focusing on rapid transformations instead of a slower evolution may be holding you back. Here are some of the main concepts covered in the episode: The importance of questioning what you believe and the stories you tell yourself A new perspective on the idea of taking small steps toward constant improvement The power of cumulative improvement and compounding returns We also talked about the importance of taking small steps toward constant improvement. As the quote from Ryan Holiday's book, “Discipline is Destiny” states, "if the first step is just showing up, committing to doing something each day then the next step is finding something to focus on, getting better at each." This is where cumulative improvement meets compounding returns, and it's where we can harness one of the most powerful forces on earth. By focusing on evolution instead of revolution, we can set ourselves up for success in the long term. It's important to remember that progress takes time and consistency, and that's what ultimately leads to success. So, next time you're setting a goal, remember to take it one step at a time and focus on the evolution, not the revolution.

206. How to Defeat Your Inner Pig and Finally Lose Weight with Glenn Livingston

2023-08-2145:34

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm that has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food-obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. In this episode, Dr. Livingston teaches why Binge Eating and Overeating are such common problems, and how there are two factors that combine to form the perfect storm in our culture and have created a horrendously difficult mountain to climb for anyone who wants to stop overeating. (a) the food industry’s billions and; (b) the addiction treatment industry’s message of powerlessness. What We Discuss with Dr. Livingston: 00:00 Intro 06:13 Glenn’s personal weight-loss struggle 10:36 The Food Industry’s predatory tactics 15:58 Controlling our biological impulses 17:27 The creation of “the inner pig” 22:11 Self-love isn’t enough 29:58 The feast and famine roller coaster 34:26 Using the present moment to eat healthily 36:43 Why your failures mean you’ll have success Like this show?

Our guest believes it's not only possible but that it can be harnessed to improve your health and overall well-being.
