Attacking Self-Sabotage with Affirmations

In this episode, Life Coach Lindsey Lang and I continue our conversation on the importance of self-awareness to applying affirmations as part of combating self-sabotaging behaviors. There's nothing like a two-parter!

Do you suddenly taste granola in your mouth? When I used to hear about affirmations, I did too. You're not alone. Part of the reason is because the affirmations I tried to use didn't feel genuine to me. Then, I started writing my own. That's when my whole perception changed.

In this episode, Lindsey and I describe affirmations from a place of common sense and customization so you can also test their use against self-sabotage like binge eating, extraneous cheat meals and people pleasing in social settings. We cover:

• What affirmations are why they aren't silly or cheesy.
• How to write them so they are personalized to your own efforts.
• How and when to apply them so they actually work.
• How they have served Lindsey in pretty miraculous ways throughout her adult life.

We also address some other stellar resources you may want to check out:
