Your Brain is like a Game of Jeopardy

I believe your brain knows how to solve your problems. Like a game of Jeopardy, the information is there but you have to come up with the questions before you can "see" it.

Some examples of questions I use to keep my mind busy:

1. What can I do to feel great today?
2. What new thing can I do today?
3. What thoughts do I need to think to get the weight loss results I want?
4. What if all the problems in my life have easy solutions?

Another piece of advice: 

Don't let a question linger. Don't ever ask yourself a question without answering it. (For the reason why, click here.) Even if the question might not be productive; answer it in a positive way.

For example, "Why can't I turn down sweets?" is not a productive question. It suggests a victim mentality. Like those sweets are forcing themselves into your mouth. 

Always take time to answer the questions your brain brings up with useful thoughts. 

Q. Why can't I turn down sweets?

Possible useful answers:

• My environment isn't set up well so that it is easy for me to make healthy food choices

• I am buffering negative emotions in my life with sugar

• I am not committed to my health journey

• My eating a sweet treat has just become a habit

I hope you all will start by asking yourselves this question today:

"What can I do to be kind to myself today?" (You are worth it.)
