Visit http://www.shawnmynar.com/ketoforwomen/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode.   Topics Discussed in this Episode: My healing journey from rock bottom What I did and currently do to change how I view my body, and why it matters How our thoughts impact our health The law of attraction 8 things you can do to start raising your vibrations Key Takeaways: If you start working on your mindset, you will have a much easier time getting to your goals. Every single time we talk about our weight and our weight gain, we ingrain it more and more as our reality, as something that won’t change, and it becomes our identity. “Your body is your meat suit. It is what carries you through life.” - Kathryn Budig When you know something is going to happen, you are turning on a higher frequency that will actually attract that thing to come. So don’t just want to get better but know that you are going to get better. When you have psychological stress, you are weakening your immune system and causing disease to set in your body. It hurts your ability to handle stress, your ability to process information and to and think clearly. Stress from negative thinking creates changes in the brain that may affect your likelihood of mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, and mood disorders. Repressed emotion, especially being fearful or negative, can zap mental energy, negatively affect your body, and lead to health problems. Poorly managed or repressed anger or hostility is also related to a slew of health conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, and infection. Also, accelerated aging and an impact on your relationship and job performance. Our bodies are meant to handle life-threatening situations. They are not meant to handle things like being stuck in traffic, having a terrible boss, or negative thinking on a chronic level. Everything is made up of vibrations of energy. Even your thoughts are vibrations of energy.   Action Steps: Start working on your mindset. Try doing the same things that I do until now to change how I viewed my body Stop talking about your body and your weight gain and how terrible you feel about yourself to other people. And stop talking about these things even to yourself. Make a strong effort to change your negative thoughts. Detach from your physical body as far as how you look on the outside and how you feel. Choose to seek health over an aesthetic goal. Know that you’re going to get better. Make a conscious effort to choose enjoyment and pleasure Start living your life. Don’t wait for anything to happen or for anything to come. Practice an immense amount of gratitude. Manage your stress Raise your vibrations and attract the things that you want Decide that you want something more for yourself. Self-reflect. Notice your thoughts now. Quiet your mind. Ask for what you want, believe it’s going to come, see when it happens, and feel what it feels like when it happens. Live in the present moment. Find something that lights you up and, do that regularly. Practice gratitude, giving, forgiveness, and pleasure.   IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS: It’s already time for the March class of The Fat Burning Female Project, which begins on March 4th.
