[00:05:18] So let's jump into the episode now.
[00:05:20] Okay. It's the beginning of the year at the time that I'm recording this. And I've seen a few. Influencers or people on the internet promoting detoxes for the new year and I thought, okay, this is good because I want to put my own little spin on it. Okay. I want to, I want to put my own little spin on it, um, and change the way that we think of detoxes.
[00:05:47] But first we have to define what a detox is. So I bet when I said detox, you probably had something come to your mind, right? A very specific like idea. And what a detox really [00:06:00] is, is it's removing toxic substances or qualities. That's the definition. I looked up the definition. Okay. Um, or what we might consider a cleansing, right?
[00:06:11] So if you're doing a detox, you're cleansing and lots of them are physical detoxes, right? Like we're cleansing our our guts. That's the worst word I could use. Um, we're, you know, we're cleansing our insides. Um, and here's what we know about detoxing. Okay. When you detox your body, you fully cleanse, right?
[00:06:35] Think about that when you Detox, you any, any system of detoxing, right? Juicing and all of that. Let's, let's go physical for right now. Um, any system of detoxing, you fully cleanse your body. If you've ever done a detox, you know what that means. I'm not gonna go into detail, right? Here's what we also know if we want that cleanse to keep right or stay, there are some things you need to do.[00:07:00]
[00:07:00] So if you're cleansing your body and detoxing your body and then you go and eat a bunch of junk food. That doesn't really keep that cleanse there, right? If you reintroduce those, quote, toxic substances, whatever you were trying to clean out, well then you need a method of continual cleansing, right? A detox is a cycle.
[00:07:24] And so often we think of detoxes, especially in the, uh, weight loss, you know, physical health space, is like, I'm gonna detox, and that's that, right? But the reality is, is Our bodies, we have to eat, we have, I mean, our bodies are a cycle, right? Things are cyclical in, in physical health as well. And you need a method of being able to kind of keep that cleaning happening.
[00:07:54] Right? It's a cycle. It's not a one time event. We know that one big [00:08:00] detox probably won't do a whole lot in the big picture, but consistent detoxing or supporting that detox, right? So if you detox your body and now you're filling it with those nourishing foods, it's going to keep you where you want to go.
[00:08:14] Right? Okay. So are we all on the same page here? Because we're going to make a shift now. Now we're going to make a little bit of a shift. I want to talk about mental detoxing today. The things that you say and believe about yourself and your abilities can be toxic. I'm going to say that again. The things that you say and think about yourself and your abilities can be toxic.
[00:08:49] And they can. They have the potential to destroy your ability to change. Because when we keep bringing in the [00:09:00] toxic substances. It doesn't give us an opportunity to cleanse, right? We keep bringing these in and I believe that no matter where you are in your wellness journey, we all have some mental detoxing to do.
[00:09:17] Okay. We all have some mental detoxing to do. And one of the things that I teach all the women in my programs, if you are in a program of mine, or if you get coached by me, you have heard this before. It's your stories and your beliefs about your ability To make a change, whether it's weight loss, sticking to your habits, um, your relationship with food, your relationship with body, it all comes from the stories that you tell yourself.
[00:09:45] And the beliefs that you have surrounding those stories about your ability to change or about who you are, right? Oh, I'm a failure. I just always do this. This is just who I am. I always lose control around food. I [00:10:00] always. You know, I always overeat. I never, right? We have all these stories that come in and these are toxic because they don't allow us to heal.
[00:10:13] They don't allow us to change. So today, I want to walk you through a dialogue to help you identify toxic thoughts that are holding you back from being able to create change. And being able to step into your vision of a one of wellness and learn how to mentally detox from them and learn how to continually detox, right?
[00:10:38] Remember that detoxing is a cycle. We have to identify some of those toxic substances that come in. And, and continually work on that and over time, those toxic substances are going to lessen, right? We're not going to allow as many of those in. Okay. So before I jump into this dialogue, if you want this dialogue plus [00:11:00] more tips, we're going to go deeper.
[00:11:01] Make sure you're subscribed to the newsletter first. Okay. It's going to, it's going to be going out this week. So podcast release on Monday. Um, uh, newsletter goes out on Wednesday. Okay. So make sure you subscribe to the newsletter, a woman of wellness. com forward slash newsletter. And you're going to get this dialogue that you can just print out and follow along, um, as well as more, more guidance, more tips if you struggle with this.
[00:11:27] Okay. Well, let's talk about it. Let's jump, let's jump in first, identify an action or outcome. You can't seem to achieve. Okay, so it could be something like weight loss, consistency with exercise, um, control over food. So take a minute to just think, what is an action or an outcome that you're stuck on? You just, you keep repeating the cycle of failure.[00:12:00]
[00:12:00] And you can't get there. Let's just identify one. I know there's probably more, but let's identify one. From there, I want you to identify the toxic thought, or we might consider it an unhelpful, right? Not supportive thought. What is the toxic thought? And it usually starts with, I never, or I am, right? I never can get control, or I am a failure.
[00:12:30] I am an overeater. I am lazy. I can't seem to, right? It's usually a very negative start. This is too hard. What is the toxic thought that is associated with the action or outcome you want? So let's, I want to give you an example. Let's just take an example through, but you have your own. Um, so Let's just say overeating or binging.
[00:12:56] You can't seem to get control over food. Okay. [00:13:00] So the toxic thought is I have, I can't get control over food. I am someone that loses control over food, right? So you've created this habit loop. Like, okay, I am that person. So of course. That's the action that I'm going to take is I can't control it. Number three, and again, this is simple.
[00:13:22] I'm going to expand a little bit more in the newsletter, but, um, we want, we, we just want to make it basic, right? And then if you want to go deeper, that's what the newsletter is for. And that's what that dialogue will be there for. But I want you to then to identify what do I want to be true for me? Okay.
[00:13:42] So you have this toxic thought now, what is it that you want? And before you do that, I want you to insert some self compassion here. Don't worry about all the times you've failed in the past. Okay. Let's not worry about that. Let's insert some self compassion first, and then ask [00:14:00] yourself, what do I want to be true for me?
[00:14:02] I want to feel confident and safe around food, or I want to be able to listen to my body and stop when I'm full, whatever that is for you. What do you want to be true for you? And now you're going to create that new mental thought loop. Okay. So let's do another example here for a minute. Um, I told you on the podcast a little while ago that I signed up for a Spartan race, which is like a pretty high level, um, obstacle course race.
[00:14:37] And it's kind of been one of those far like distant goals of my life. I'm like, Oh, that'd be really cool. But I've never I've never just like stepped into it, you know? Um, and so my, my I just have never like, Oh, I have, I have to be able to do like climbing a rope or climbing a wall. And I've never done that before.
[00:14:57] Okay. And so. [00:15:00] I have this kind of like hold back of like, well, I can't climb a rope, so I can't run, I can't run the Spartan race. Right. And that toxic thought is like, I'm not strong enough or, you know, I'm just not like committed enough. Any of those toxic thoughts. And then I insert self compassion and say, yeah, but what if it was possible for me?
[00:15:16] What do I want to be true for me? I can be a finisher of the Spartan race. I can be a finisher. And when I say that, it changes my actions. It changes my actions. If I know that I can be a finisher, then I make choices to do my best because I have self compassion to do my best to practice it and do what I need to do, right?
[00:15:44] Maybe I need to find a, um, workout plan. Someone that maybe can give me one, right? If you didn't know what you were doing. Let me give you another example. I can't live a healthy lifestyle and be a mother. I'm too busy, right? It's [00:16:00] overwhelming. I can't do both. I can't take care of myself and others. Well, so we feel like we're overwhelmed.
[00:16:06] Right. You can't seem to achieve your own health, um, and wellness because. You've got because kids are priority or whatever. So the toxic thought is like, it's just too hard. It's just too hard for me to be healthy and do this or work working mom or whatever you want to say. Right. And, and so we've created this, but what do we want to be true for me?
[00:16:27] I want to show my kids that I can be healthy and fit and be the best mom ever. Self compassion, right? Or. Um, I often get a lot of, um, like, if I don't do it now scenarios where it's like, well, if I don't figure it out now, then I'm a failure. Right. But what do I want to be true for me? I know that I can figure this out.
[00:16:58] I can work on this. [00:17:00] I can do things that will take me closer. Those are the three steps that I want you to the basic steps. If you want more, well, it'll be in the newsletter, but the basic steps are identify that outcome that you want or the action that you want to perform, then find out those toxic thoughts that are coming in that are holding you back.
[00:17:21] From there, insert some self compassion and insert what you want to be true for you. Because the truth about detoxing is that it's an ongoing process. And you know that, right? We understand that. It requires awareness. So I want to challenge you today to identify your toxic thoughts this week and use the tools you've learned today to detox, okay?
[00:17:52] Take those toxic thoughts that are holding you back and turn [00:18:00] them into action. Turn them into self compassion and action. And again, you can use the handout that I'll have in the newsletter, um, if you are wanted. If you are wanted, if you would like, um, to like have it visible, because it is really helpful if you see it and know, okay, I, I recognize this thought because sometimes we don't even recognize the thoughts.
[00:18:25] So it's really important to identify the pain point first. Right? The pain point is I can't get this. And then we connect it with the toxic thought. That's how we're, we become aware of it. And then we change that thought. So we have to identify the toxic thought first in order to be able to change it.
[00:18:43] Okay? Okay. You have some work to do today. I hope that episode was helpful. Just a reminder, if you enjoy this episode, if you like these episodes and you want to go deeper, and you want to. Open up the floodgates to support your [00:19:00] health as a woman of wellness. I'm going to be sharing more in depth trainings, more masterclasses, bringing in experts to help you create real change in your life.
[00:19:09] Because we all know that listening to a podcast is. Is scratching the surface, right? It's good information. And then we want to take it and go deeper and make some real lasting change. So you can learn more at awomanofwellness. com forward slash masterclass. And I will be back next week with another episode.
