TRANSCRIPT
What’s up you guys, Nikkiey Stott here with Warrior Babe, and welcome to our viewer Q&A, that we do every single Friday. Happy Friday. If you guys are as excited as I am right now to dive into this Q&A, smash that like button and be sure to subscribe to this channel because every single Friday we are dropping this Q&A. You know maybe next week, more questions pertain to your own fitness journey and will give you confidence and clarity as to what to do next for yourself and your journey. So with that being said, let’s dive into it. I’m stoked to be here with you guys right now. How are we doing with the 80-day strong? Everybody crushing it? Yeah, Jessica, I see you over there. Yeah, Mindy, let’s go. All right, Stacy. All right, Mary. Let’s go guys. Who’s struggling? It’s okay to raise your hand. Some people struggle. Wendy, struggling babe? America? Girl, you struggling? What you need? How can I help you? All right guys, well, maybe tonight’s call will help you guys, all right? Remember, you know, that it’s, I know it’s tough. It’s that will power. It’s that discipline. It’s like, you know like, when things get a little outta control or schedules get hectic, or, you know, some things take precedent and maybe things are unplanned. It’s like, or like you, you just like, you don’t feel like working out and then you let that emotion like overpower, it can get tough. It can get tough but that’s where you grow. That’s where shit gets uncomfortable. That’s where, like, “I don’t like the way I’m showing up for myself right now and I gotta change it, I gotta turn it up a notch. I gotta do better.” Oh, well, if you’re sick, you’re sick. Come on, Wendy. You’re sick, babe. I mean, you know, allow the time for your body to, to process being sick. Actually, I heard a lot of you guys were sick. I heard COVID was going around. I mean, I know it’s going around. We all know that it’s going around. It’s been two years in this game now, but I know I heard a lot of you, coaches, were saying that a lot of your, a lot of you guys were getting sick from, from COVID. So, you know, as pertains to sickness, if it’s like more of like the excuse game or the mental game, that’s on you to like work through that and develop that discipline. But I mean, if it’s like the sickness side of thing, you know, there’s only so much you can do with that. Like you gotta let it run it’s course. You gotta, you know, understand it’s only temporary. And once you’re feeling better, you can get back into the movement. You get back into focusing on like, you know what you’re here to accomplish, but it is only a temporary and in the big grand scheme of things of what you guys want to accomplish and the path that you guys are on, it’s a very short window and it sucks that it’s been a part of the challenge, but hey, like we’re gonna have another challenge after this. There’s another challenge, you know, at the end of, closer to the end of the year. So there’s more challenges for you guys to, to be in on. But if it’s more of the mindset thing and it’s more like you got, you gotta grow and you gotta, you gotta get uncomfortable and you gotta learn to maneuver planning and better strategies that support your goals, then that’s that something you gotta work through. That’s something you gotta get okay being uncomfortable and get, challenge yourself to do better, all right? But I hope tonight’s topic does help you guys. But before I do dive into it, let’s run through my, my ground rules that I’ve got. So one, if you guys could just make sure that you guys are all on mute as I’m going through the topic tonight. I just ask that everybody stays on mute because background noise or background distractions or anything like that, it can be distracting not only to myself, but everybody that’s trying to listen to the topic that I’m sharing with you guys. And then after I’m done talking about the topic, you know, we haven’t really rolled out Q&A’s. So I’m just reading everything that you guys are reading or typing in the, in the comment box. But if at the end, you know, something hit home or you go wanna make a statement or you do wanna comment, or you do have a question, you know? I’ll open the floor up for a couple of minutes to do a Q&A or just sharing what you guys maybe resonated with you in tonight’s topic. And then after, at that point, you guys can type in the chat box, if you do have a question, you do have a statement and then I’ll just keep everybody in order that way, when we get to that point. Please don’t raise your hand. Just keep it all in that chat box ’cause I can’t tell if everybody, who raised your hand up first or you know what order that’s in. So just keep anything that you guys do have when I open it up at that point, in the chat box. And then if anybody, who’s new? Raise your hand, if you’re new, in the past week. Joanne, Rosie, what’s up, babe? Anybody else? I’m gonna butcher that name. I don’t wanna butcher it. Shahaza? I think. Nice. Welcome babe. Anyway, all. Oh, Amy. Oh. AJ? No, Amy. AJ, are you new too? Let’s go! Ah, Corey, I’m gonna, there’s so many of you guys. Nice. Beautiful. Welcome, guys. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Excited for you guys to be a part of our community. And you know, you guys can see on here that we’re, we’re all in this together. This is a very like-minded group. And you’ll see that even with the topics that I discuss or the coaches discussed from the round table, it is a different level of mindset. We’re pushing you to grow. We’re pushing you to, to do things that are challenge with planning ahead, with macros, with learning macronutrients, we doing strength training, but that’s ultimately, and collectively we’re working towards the same goal and that’s gonna, all these things we’re helping you do, even if it doesn’t make sense, it’s to get you to that end point, all right. So what I always say is, “Trust us now, believe us later.” And what I say at the beginning of every one of these calls is just to make sure that you guys are here on time. I kick off this call at seven o’clock Eastern Standard Time. We do a little bit of music at the beginning to get you guys hyped up and then at like 7:07, I stop paying attention to the waiting room area. And I just start diving into the topic. So welcome you guys. And just make sure you guys are here on time, moving forward. Cool? I know you guys were here on time before, but I just wanted to make that ground rule set. All right. So let’s dive into, it’s a nice topic, it’s one of my favorite and I’m gonna bring it back up again because it’s, it’s been resurfaced in a new book that I’m reading. I think I mentioned this book to you guys, “The magic of thinking big”, right? Maybe some of you guys mentioned this, like a, I think like before, right before the challenge and some of you guys said, you put it in your car and you guys are shaking your head, cool. So like you, maybe you guys purchased it or maybe that’s on your book list to read during this challenge. If it is, I highly recommended it. It’s just so good. And this topic, I’ve talked about before that, was atomic habits, it was resurfaced in chapter one of “The magic of thinking big”. And it really is like, like outside, you guys know the drill. When I say like macros, learning to track macros, strength training, you know, pushing the effort to like put your clothes on and go to the gym, like those are our tactics, right? Like that’s gonna get you to your end result, at a percentage of the way. But the way you go into how you’re planning your macros, mentally, the way you go into your workouts, mentally, the way you go into the whole journey, the way you’re looking at it, mentally, is going to also be a way that you or a percentage, if not a big percentage of how and when you accomplish what you want to accomplish. Okay? So you know, big on mindset. And that’s usually what I talk to here. And this specific thing is a huge driving factor into your every day, how you deploy on the actions that you need to deploy on to, to facilitate macros and to facilitate strength training. So it’s mainly on the processes of change and how to believe more in yourself that you guys can do it. So it’s on the backbone of belief and everybody, I mean, every single one of you, to Laura, to Joanne, to America, to Michelle, to Cheryl, to Laura, to everybody here on this call right now, if you believe that you can do this, you will do this. You, your mind will open up opportunities or open up streams of thoughts on how you’re going to accomplish. That’s why I always say, forget about the how, focus on the, like, why you’re doing this and the positive why on why you want to accomplish and the how is gonna come with it. If you focus on the why, and you focus on the belief within yourself, the how is naturally gonna come and the how is going to come by you being like, “Okay, I know my coach programmed this for me, this is in alignment with my goal.” ‘Cause remember what I’ve said before on previous topic calls, like, you know, it’s not in our, it’s not a benefit to us as coaches, if we make you fat. Like we’re not gonna make you fat. Like, you know what I mean? Like I’ve said that before, like we’re not gonna program you macros that’s gonna make you fat. Like we want you to be, we want you to be successful. We want you to accomplish what you want. So like, you have to believe not only in yourself, but you have to believe in the coach too, that you’re working with. And when you solely believe that you can do this, you are gonna, just new thoughts like, “Okay, I can do this. I’m gonna program. I’m gonna sit down. I’m gonna play in my fitness class, challenging as it may be at first, which it is, I’m still gonna do it. Cause I know that I can do it. I believe in myself that I can do it.” And the reverse is true if like, you don’t believe that you can’t do it, then you’re not gonna do it. And if you have all of these like negative associations with tracking macros or negative associations with having to plan your day out or, you know, negative associations to walking in the gym and saying, “Oh, I have to do this.” Like right, I love what Jessica said before is like, “I get to do this.” Yes. Like I get to do and that’s just a whole different mindset. Like you’re gonna go walk into the gym. Like for me today, this just an example. And now I’m just going off on a rant here, but you know what, we’re going with it. But I, I got in my, I, today has been like, it’s just, it’s just been nuts in like a great way, but I got, I was so drained and I was like, “The gym is like the last place that I wanna go right now.” And I, you got, you got five seconds. You’re like, all right, five seconds, your fucking mind is made up. You’re like, five seconds and you stay in that kind of frame, that low vibe, you ain’t going, or you got five seconds to be like, “Yo, I’m out! I’m out of my chair. I got my shoes on, car keys, post workout shake, bag. Let’s go!” Now out the door, freaking wet. I sat my ass in the car and I’m like, “You know, Nikkiey, you can still turn around. I’m like, no! Stop! Get out!” And I drove and I just started driving and oh shit, did I just knock my camera off? Am I still here? I’m not here. Damn it! That’s what I get for rocking my desk. I’m back. There I am. I moved all the way to page two again. So yeah, so like, you know, and then the second that I got to the gym, I’m like “Good job”. It’s just all, guys, I mean, it is all the way that you’re talking to yourself. Like if you’re talking to yourself in a positive manner, and even though like it’s, it’s sometimes so hard to get into that positive, positive mindset. Like it’s pretty freaking challenging sometimes. But the more that you do it just like the, the more that you guys strength train, the more that you program macros, the more that you plan, I’m talking about fitness path. Trust me, the mindset game gets easier and easier and easier. But you gotta, you gotta like keep going with the positive and never, ’cause once you revert, if I stayed here, if I had just like, “Oh whatever, like, you know, I’m just not gonna work out.” I immediately am setting a lower standard for myself. I am immediately starting to operate from a lower standard and that shit just does not fly with me. And it shouldn’t fly for you either, if you want to accomplish the goals that you wanna accomplish. Right? So the second that I got to the gym, when I was like, I was like, “Good job, Nikkiey, like you’re here, you’re doing it.” I had a killer workout. A great workout. An amazing workout. And that came from, you know, again, where was I going with that, came from the belief in myself and, you know, make like, following through with the things that I had to do, like, ’cause I knew that I knew that I could do it, right? I knew that I, that I had to do it. I knew that I had to do it for myself. Anyway, so now I’m going off, I just went off on a little rant there, but, so, pulling it back into what I really, all it all stems from belief and you know another thing, maybe I’m just gonna make it a rant, Right? Screw, screw the topic, you know, just do a talk about and just really go down this, this whole rant. Another thing that comes with belief, you guys, is that I, especially speaking to all of you guys here, there comes a point in your journey that you know, some of you guys think and you know, Cheryl’s a great testament to this and a lot of the babes I still coach is a great testament to this, but a lot of you guys think like “I’m too old”, right? That is such a common thing. Like “I’m too old. It’s too late for me to get to the results that I want. You know, I miss my prime at 20. I miss my-” I see you, Laura, I see you. “I miss my prime at 30.” And that right there, that’s, that’s a belief thing again. Right? So that’s a belief like you, if you don’t think you can do it at 50 or 60, you know, let me, first of all, let me just pull back and remind you guys of the productive years, of the window productive years. So like, you know, for us 15 to like, shit, there’s who, who, what’s that woman’s name that’s like 80 something. Okay, so first of all, if we’re gonna pull that window up, 15 to like 80, that’s pretty significant. So let’s say you’re 40, you still have 40 years of your productive life to be able to work towards your goals. You still have, you have the whole time you’ve been alive, all over again. Right? So like you’re never too old, ever too old. If you’re 50, you have 30 more years to focus on your goals. If you’re 60, you have 20 more prime years. Right? “I’m 58, I’m not done yet.” Damn straight. “Best years of my life, late fifties”, let’s go. I see you over there, Patricia. Right? You got the years left. “Ah, to be 50.” Yeah, yeah, but Laura you’re crushing it. Right? But seriously. So like again, like if you have that belief, “Well, I’m 50. I can’t do it. I’m 60. I’ve missed all my productive years. You know, I missed the prime. Yeah, maybe you missed like, you know, the faster, like the, like the stamina, but doesn’t mean that like the vision that you have for yourself and the goals you want to accomplish, it doesn’t disappear because you’re getting older. It’s techniques in there and the tactics and the strategies may change. See “65 soon-” Ugh, change that. Get the fucking old outta there. Girl, you got 15 more years of your prime life left. 15 years! Jess says “60 and in the best shape of my life”. Yes, good See guys, so that’s again, that’s a belief system. And nobody, ain’t nobody too old in here to be able to crush their goals and let Cheryl, 59? 59 and crushing it. Laura, how old are you? You don’t mind me asking?
– 67.
– 67. Let’s go. Yeah, everybody give her a big round. Let’s go. You should be. So yeah. See like, you guys got all the productive years left to be able to still get the results that you want. Techniques change as you get older. Don’t worry about that, we got you. Okay. Should I pull back into my topic? Should I just keep going? I’ll pull it back in anyway. Around the belief though. So there’s three pillars though that you gotta be able to change. And the three pillars, the first layer is your outcome, the second layer is your process, And the third is your, is your identity. And behind every system of actions becomes that system of belief. So, so let’s talk about that first layer. The first layers is, is concern with the changing of your results. It’s a very superficial layer. It’s like, “I’m gonna lose weight, you know. I wanna win this challenge. I want to be able to change my body composition, you know.” The list goes on, like at that layer, that’s where most of your goals are set and they’re associated with that level of change, which is the outcome. And then you got that second layer, which is your process. I see we’re wishing a happy birthday, Theresa, happy birthday. So the second layer is changing your process. That level is concerned with your habits. It’s concerned with your routine, that you’re, that you’re setting for yourself with your schedule with the gym. It’s the routine that you’re setting with reading. It’s the habit that you’re setting with planning your macros in advance. At this level, all of your habits, you build here. And then at the third layer, and this is the deepest layer you guys, and this is changing your identity. This layer is concerned with changing your beliefs, with changing your self image, with your judgments about yourself and with about others around you. It’s about your confidence. Most of your beliefs and assumptions that you have And the biases that you have, they’re held at this level. Okay, so you got outcomes are what you get. Processes are what you do. And then identity is about what you believe. And so many people, they begin to the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve. And that leads to outcome based habits. However, you gotta build an identity based habit because if you’re operating from outcome based, of like, “I’m only thinking about surface level, losing weight, winning a challenge, changing your body composition.” And you’re not so much focused on your self-image, your beliefs around getting all of that. Your beliefs about your confidence, your beliefs about yourself. You’re focused on the wrong shit. It’s great, don’t get me wrong. Outcome based, first of all, I’ll tell this in a second around my journey as well, outcome based is great, but it’s not gonna, it’s not gonna make you feel fulfilled in your accomplishments. And when you focus on identity based habits, you focus on who you want to become. You focus on that, that vision of what you want to the, the who of the person that’s gonna be when you accomplish that, the goals you’re striving for. And you know, most of us, we don’t even we consider like this is some deep level shit. That’s why we have these conversations in the VIP. I know you guys can handle it. I know you guys are ready for some change. I know you want to change. And most people don’t even consider this stuff. Identity change when they, when they wanna, you know, go after a goal or set out to improve, they wanna accomplish change in their body composition. Again, it’s, they all think about outcome based stuff. You know, they think like “I wanna be toned, right? I wanna be, I wanna be muscular. I wanna be defined. I wanna be lean. I want outcome. And if I stick to this diet, if I stick to what my coach tells me, I’m gonna be toned.” Which is the process, if you stick to the planning of the macros and going do the workouts, you’re sticking to the process. You’re building those habits, And people set goals and determine the actions that they should take to achieve these goals without considering the beliefs that drive their actions. Yes. You guys know them from the meeting from atomic habits. Yes. That’s why when people go and set goals and determine the actions they should take to achieve those goals, without considering the beliefs that they have around this. Like I just got done a Q&A, a live Q&A on Facebook before I hopped in on here to, with you guys. And this woman was like, “You said carbs were good. I thought they were bad.” Oh, I got mad. You know, it’s not her fault. It’s the whole culture. It’s the whole internet. It’s the whole fitness industry. You know, that has deemed carbs to be terrible. And it’s not her fault at all, but she’s thinks that. And if she thinks that, it’s gonna drive her actions, but if she changes her belief around carbs, her actions will be different. This is why people never shift the way that they look at themselves and the way, and they don’t realize that their old identity can sabotage your new plans for change. Because behind every system of actions, the thought processes lead to actions because the behind every action is a system of beliefs. So if you think carbs are bad, guess what? Your action is, you’re not gonna eat carbs. And then the result’s gonna come, that it’s not sustainable. It’s not realistic. You’re moody, you’re irritable. You’re not getting the results that you want. So like people need, they need to get rid of that old identity. It can sabotage the new plans for, for the change that they really want. Right? So you may want like a toned, stronger body, but if you continue to prioritize, you know, the fact of all of these negative base or thoughts around, especially for the carbs, just for example, then you’re not gonna get the kind of results that you want. Right? So at the beginning of my journey, you know, I was a type of person who wanted this, right? Like I was an outcome based person, but I consistently got what I wanted and I did the processes. And then, but at the end of all of this, my core identity changed. And now I’m the type of person who is this, right? So like, so many people want things like, like the ultimate form of your natural motivation is when a habit becomes part of your identity. So when that second process, the processes become a part of who you are, like, I’m a, I’m a type of person who, like, people say this, I’m the type person who wants this. Like there’s a difference between the two. And then some people say, “I’m the type of person who is this.” See how there’s like two different things. Like, I want this. Like, I want to accomplish X, Y, and Z, but I’m the type of person who is this. And so like on my journey, I, I was the type of person who wanted this. And I consistently got what I wanted, the outcome. And I did what I had to do, which was the process. And then my core identity changed with the outcome. And now I’m the type person who is this. Like I did it. And even my, and even in, even those like the small group of women that I coach, they did it too as well. Everyone on this call, even the coaches, you guys have to work through these three levels of changes to be able to call it your core identity, to be able to call it your lifestyle, to be able to call it, you know, that it is a part of you. It’s not so much more of coming from an outcome based habit. It’s coming from an identity based habit. True behavior, you guys, that you need to be able to, to shift gears, true behavior change is identity change. And, you know, at the beginning of this, it’s, it’s so hard to form good habits. And it’s so easy to repeat bad ones. Like that’s why maybe some of you guys are struggling with pre-planning or, you know, getting your workouts done or whatever you’re maybe struggling with on this challenge because at the beginning it was like you had this burst of motivation and then it felt, it probably feels difficult to keep the good habits going for more than a few days or more than a few weeks. And that’s because you guys, you’re focusing on trying to change the wrong things. And you’re trying to focus on changing, like the outcome based things. When you wanna focus on changing the, your core reasoning and the core thought process and the core, like why you’re taking those actions, you wanna change the core beliefs that you have so that you, you know, you get to be able to take those actions. Right? And it can just be like a simple change of verbiage. It can just be a simple change with the way you speak to yourself. And the way that you say I get to do this, as opposed to I have to do this. And then, you know, believing like “trusting us now and, believing us later”, just believing in not only what you signed up for, but also in the person that’s driving you to facilitate, you know, the actions that you need to take, from your coaches. All right, so to wrap this all up, you know, what you do, you guys, is indication of the type of person that you believe you are. You know, once you believe in a particular aspect of your identity, if you believe that you truly are like healthy, you truly are, you know, wanna be fit. You truly are somebody who is in alignment with that type of lifestyle. And once you make it a part of your identity, then you are more likely going to act in alignment with that belief. If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can’t, you won’t. Right? And then when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned, then you’re acting like the type of person that you already believe yourself to be. So the beginning of my journey, like, even though I had no idea what I was doing, I still believed in myself that I could do it. And I sought out every answer and every possibility and every ounce of knowledge and every X, Y, and Z, to get me in alignment with believing it more and doing the things that I had to do, doing the actions that I had to do, and then became fully aligned with how my, the person of, I always say, like, “Who do you wanna become?” And you gotta think about that person. You gotta think about how that person in the end, the end goal is operating, talking, walking, dressing, acting, and you gotta think from that person now. And that can be super challenging because you’re not there yet. And there’s some kind of block that you may feel, but the more that you start again, it’s just repetition, power repetition. The more that you start thinking and acting like that person, the faster you’re gonna become aligned with it. Thank you. I appreciate that, Jackie. You have to do the things that person does. Yes, exactly. You have to, because, I mean, if you just continue to do the same things that you’ve always done, you’re gonna get the same results. But if you start acting as the person who’s gonna, I mean, think about from the end. You know, how I am, where I am now with I pre-plan everything. I make sure I eat my macros in the day and make sure I get my lifts in when I don’t want to. And like, I think, you know, that I, when I was in your shoes was just beginning out. I had to think from that perspective, I was like, “if this person at the end of the road is doing of these things, ’cause like somebody who like at the end of the road, like not programming, not planning, like you’re not, that person’s not gonna be doing that. That person is doing that. So you need to start doing that now because the faster that you act like the person like you wanna become the faster, you’re gonna start becoming that person. Right? All right. And remember, that your progress here or anywhere in life requires that you unlearn. So like if you’ve been programmed to think that carbs are bad, or if you’ve been programmed to think, oh my God, 2000 calories gonna make me gain weight or you’ve been programmed to think some type of way. Remember you gotta unlearn that because becoming the best version of yourselves requires that you continuously edit your beliefs. And that you upgrade and expand your identity. So just leaving you guys on that note, there, the whole driving factor of all, you, more belief in yourself, more belief in, you know, what you guys signed up for. You gotta believe in the, you gotta believe in this system. It’s already helped thousands of people, right? So if you want the results of those thousands of people, and you’re seeing the, you’re seeing some people on this call, who’ve worked the system and gotten tremendous results. Yes. It’s already working. So you guys just have to work and you gotta believe in it most importantly, and you gotta believe in yourself at the end of the day. Remember, you gotta, if you have a negative thought, you got five seconds to act upon that negative thought and make sure that you’re acting upon it in a positive way that’s gonna help you become better. All right. I’ll open it up. I don’t know how much longer he’s gonna be. He’s, he’s gonna take me not paying attention to him, but I will open it up right now. If you guys do have any questions or you have a statement or you wanna be able to speak to, speak to what I just talked about. If you guys do and you wanna talk out loud, then you guys can write like statement in the comment box or question in the comment box, and then I can unmute you guys. But if not, you guys can just keep going with typing in, how this call made you guys feel. “Strive to be the person who works out every day. Not just a person who is toned.” Yeah, exactly. Like I just do it because I mean, I know you guys can all relate. Like yeah, I have reached my goal, but doesn’t mean I’m stopping. I still go to work out because I get to work out. So I go to work out ’cause it makes me feel good. Just be the, be the person. Yeah, what Nancy said that, that gets to work out every day. “I really needed to hear that. Changing what I believe about myself.” Yes. If you see yourself and you know, someone, you guys are all so powerful, you guys are all so amazing. And the more that you guys believe that about yourself, the more you’re gonna see that. And if you have negative viewpoints on about you or you know, the way you look at yourself and the way that you see yourself, bring them to light, you know, write them down, journal them, whatever you guys need to do, but bring the positive. When you write ’em down, bring the positive with it. For every negative, there’s always a positive. And then when you do that, you do that more and more and more. You’re gonna believe in yourself more and more and more. “Every action is evidence for or against the person you want to be.” Yes, that’s spot on Hannah. So Shannon, “Help, I go on vacation for two weeks. Have you ever taken a food scale on a plane? If not, it scares me not to weigh my food.” So I love, thank you for bringing this question up because remember this is a, this is a lifestyle. So at first, a vacation’s gonna feel daunting when you’re doing X, Y, and Z with the scale and you’re training the way that you are. But a vacation is only temporary. Just like a sickness is only temporary and this is a lifestyle. So when you come back, you’re gonna get right back to it. So what I always say is like, enjoy your time, do the best to not be an asshole. That’s what I always say all the time. Like, don’t eat too much. Don’t get to the point where you’re like stuffing your face because like you get to cause you’re on vacation, like be smart about the food choices that you’re making. If you have accessibility to a grocery store, then put that in your agenda to go to the grocery store and get some food, get some protein because it’s the number one macronutrients that people always struggle to hit when they’re on vacation. And know that, know that you’re going to come back and your weight is going to probably fluctuate. But the second that you get back to your normal routine, you are gonna be right back on track with where you wanna be. So… learn what you already implemented too, as well. Like if you are somebody who pays attention, this is a great aspect with tracking macros. If you pay attention to like the portion sizes that you’re putting out on the scale, and you’re getting used to seeing what four ounces looks like or what, you know, 50 grams looks like or X, Y, and Z, it’s gonna make you feel more confident when you’re looking at a plate of food when you’re out to eat. So, don’t be scared. It’s only temporary and everything that you’ve learned so far, just be able to, you know, put confidence in yourself to make the good decisions on your vacation. Annie, “I used to be a person who identified with, I have no routines. I can’t stick to a routine. Not anymore.” Damn straight, I love that. Yes, because if you believe that you have no routines and you believe that you can’t stick to a routine, guess what? You’re not gonna stick to a routine. You’re not gonna make any routines for yourself. It’s the same thing. If you’re constantly saying “I’m busy, I’m busy, I’m busy.” Your mind is going to find more reasons for you to be busy. And it’s not even probably productive work. You’re just then searching for a reason to be busy when you probably not really busy. And you just need to manage your time a little bit better. And then if you turn it into that and you’re managing your time, well then there you go. You have a new belief around managing your time, right? So like, think about the things that are going to support you, and the results. So think about from the end and what do you need to do to get there? Do you need a new routine? Do you have to make a routine? Make the routine and believe that you, that you can stick to a routine. So do whatever is opposite of what you believe, if it’s negative. Okay.
