Feelings: guideposts to our Decisions.

I thought that the bigger the decision, and the bigger the change that’d follow – the bigger the range of emotions we’d experience in the process. Now I believe that when everything is aligned, we simply experience inner peace, calm, joy, excitement and naturalness of this decision. Even if it’s big. … because it feels […]

Outsmart Your Instant Gratification

delay gratification, instant gratification

(This is not the exact transcript of the video. Please watch to get the whole message) How do you sell yourself on delayed gratification? Why would you want to feel the satisfaction later rather than earlier? This is what helps us to create our worthwhile goals. Instant gratification, on the other hand, is behind […]

Making difficult decisions. More struggle is coming from thinking.

How many decisions we made in life that felt bad in the moment, because there was a big price to pay in terms of emotions, stress, money etc, but in retrospect we are glad we made them?

Could it be that this is better than NEVER making ANY decision, never taking a risk? Always staying in the same place wondering “what if”? I’d say it is.

Difficult relationships. Do they start in Past Lives?

There are four main signs it started in the past lives. First, there is an instant bond. There is a strong connection.
You have visions, feelings, thoughts about this person you can’t explain. You are not yourself. When you are together, you are changing your personality, as if against yourself, and there is no explanation.
You may have dreams about them that seem very real.

[Take your power back] Part 3: Strong but Wrong Beliefs

One of the most challenging parts of weight loss is the change in beliefs. Beliefs about what is healthy and unhealthy. Our opinions about food can be strong, wrong, and dividing. As such- they are limiting. How do we know if our beliefs are wrong (limiting)? They don’t help you lose weight. They don’t support your […]

[Take your power back] Part 2: Connection + Food

In the previous post I wrote about overeating to please others and Example One was about a Mother – Daughter story, I frequently hear. In this example we often fall into eating what others eat because we want to belong. For some reason we believe belonging comes from doing similar things. We don’t want to […]

[Take your power back!] Part 1: You Overeat to Please Your Mother

“I’m taking my power back!” Do you remember how it feels to say it? Rebellious, clear, energized. (Of course at first you were pissed. And then you took your power back. Maybe in a messy way. But you did. This is an awesome example how anger can be used for a good cause) But the […]

“I ate it because it was there”- how to remedy the most common sabotage

This is one of the most difficult situations for people who want to lose weight or eat healthy. It’s when you eat something “bad” and the only reason you ate it was because it was there. You know how it goes… you come to work. There is a box of donuts, pizza, or a birthday cake. […]

Better than willpower: how knowledge makes weight loss easier

Imagine coming to work tomorrow without all the knowledge, and attempted to do all the work. Wouldn’t you feel confusion and panic? Wouldn’t you want to run away? Could you do your job without all the training?

No amount of “trying” and using willpower would work. It’s similar in trying to stop overeating.

[Podcast 8] The purpose of negative emotions

Part 2 The purpose of negative emotions. (Feeling better is not always the goal.) The goal is to be fully human. being always happy may not be. Just because we have power to change our feelings by changing our thoughts doesn’t mean that the purpose is to go from one extreme to another. It doesn’t mean you should aim for happiness all the time. Sometimes the painful Feeling is the healthiest response of a healthy functioning human. If someone you care about gets sick – you want to feel concerned or determined to find a solution. When someone you love dies, you want to feel sad; you want to feel grief. Anything other than this would be unnatural. Negative makes positive possible. You know the difference, you know the contrast . An authentic human life consists of positive and negative; some say it’s 50/50. We want to rebel against it. We always want to feel good. And that backfires. I also rebel against it, and when I do, I extend my own pain.
