About this episode

For anyone with a history of black or white thinking, trying something new or setting a new goal can be overwhelming…. Because when we operate in black or white thinking, we are operating in a PASS OR FAIL mentality. 

 

Then there is this other word I want to unpack: healthy discipline. If you are like me, you may have a bit of an aversion to this word. And after years of exploring I have come to find that black or white thinking taints discipline. This in turn inhibits our ability to set and accomplish new goals… ultimately, keeping us stuck in our health journey. 

 

So today I am making a case for discipline, and spelling out why it is SO different from black and white thinking and how to not confuse the two so we set ourselves up for success! 

This podcast is here to support you weekly, but it only scratches the surface. For more info on how you can become an empowered eater grab my FREE WORKSHOP on how to become confident in your body without obsessing over food at jessbrownrd.com. Don’t forget to join me right her next Monday… where I can’t wait to fuel your awesome.

Cheers my sweet friend, and happy eating!
