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! (Listen to Episode 22 now to make sure you're not missing anything by following this link: https://www.incognitoathlete.com/podcast/episode/2d73f6e3/beat-the-cravings-with-this-quick-trick.)

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:

"Atlas of the Heart" by Brené Brown
