This episode is the third episode in a series about shame. The mind is programmed to enjoy starting something new—like a new diet or a new regime—which can get in the way of allowing us to just be. Our minds have a tendency to make managing weight more important than it actually is.
When we stop trying to manage our bodies, we make space for new thoughts and beliefs. The best place to start is by simply being curious about the thoughts you have. Allow a little more curiosity into your daily life, and the best you can do each day is good enough.
