Ep 9 Using Compassion to Strengthen Self Control

Today’s show is dedicated to helping you understand how to cultivate mindfulness on your journey to losing weight, and understanding that part of mindfulness is using compassion as a tool to help you objectively see what’s going on with curiosity instead of punishment. All the tools we have gone over so far will be utilized so much better if you can be objective about yourself. Watch the tools in action as I take you through different scenarios.

I also talk about meditation as a mindfulness tool. What it is and what it is not. Meditation is another great tool to help train your mind, as you begin using the tools I’m teaching you.

I go over in this episode how the neutral circumstance of going to buffet can have many different results based on what you decide to think, by being aware and using compassion instead of punishment. Compassion will always produce a much more positive result and punishment will produce a more negative result. We’re all looking for positive results, so compassion is the key.

When you give yourself the gift of compassion you will see how it can profoundly change how you treat yourself.

Enjoy the show!
