When we can’t lose weight or struggle to maintain our ideal weight, it’s time for us to look into our emotional realm. Unbalanced emotions are the biggest sabotaging factor when it comes to reach any goal in life, and losing weight is not different. You might be doing all the right things, but if your subconscious is running on beliefs that limit you, you will never be able to achieve what you’re after and accept the woman you could be. 

 

 

Is your past running your present?

 

Have you ever wondered to what extent the way you grew up influences the person you are today?

 

We all know that our families, our parents, and our childhood environment influenced many of the opinions we have about the world and about ourselves, but we tend to believe that the thoughts we have today are only ours.

 

I’d like to ask you: how did your mother talk about herself? Did she refer to herself with kind words or with words of self-criticism? How did she describe herself when looking in the mirror?

 

And what about when she was describing another woman? Where was the attention directed? To her physical appearance, her attitude, or her skills? Were the words she used critical or appreciative? Do you think your mother felt good about her body, or did she go from one diet to another in a perpetual battle to lose weight? Did she eat more when feeling nervous? 

 

I’m saying “your mother,” but in the same way, it could have been your father, or your sister or brother, aunts, and uncles, grandparents, or anyone close to you in your childhood. 

 

Try to remember …

 

What happened when, as a child, you didn't want to eat something you had on your plate? Were you forced to finish it even though you weren't hungry anymore, or could you quit? And what about sweets? Did they give them to you as a reward if you behaved well?

 

Do you remember what happened when you tried to do something, but, according to your parents, you were doing it "wrong"? Did they criticize you? Or perhaps they completed the task for you?

 

Now, do you think these episodes could contribute to form someone’s relationship with food, their body, and to shape their self-esteem today?

 

What is a belief?

 

A belief is the state of mind in which an individual assumes the knowledge or experience they have about an event or thing to be true. The content of the belief is supported by logical thinking and is expressed through what we say and affirm, the way we think about the world or our life, and through the actions, we take every day. Believing means "taking something for granted, without having evidence of it.”

 

Do you think that in your life, you act or judge based on beliefs?

 

The reality is that 95% of your actions are carried out automatically and unconsciously and are the direct consequence of our beliefs.

 

All that we observed, heard and felt as we related to our environment as children were stored in the depths of our minds and formed our beliefs. Everything that came later and until today, we interpret according to those experiences we lived back then. And this happens without us realizing it, in an involuntary and unconscious way.

 

This means that when mom spoke of herself or other women in negative terms, we understood that this is how we should judge ourselves and women in general. And when we were forced to finish what we had on our plate even if we were full or we didn't like it, we learned that food has less to do with satiating hunger or nourishing ourselves and more to do with respecting the rules and pleasing our parents. In other words, we gave it emotional value.

 

In the same way, when we were continually criticized for not living up to expectations, we formed the belief that we are not good enough. And when they put us aside to finish what we were not "doing well," we learned that making mistakes is not acceptable and that you either know how to do everything perfectly from the start or you will never do. Failing equals shame.

 

In the vast majority of cases, this happened with the best intentions from our parents or educators. After all, they, too, were unconsciously repeating a pattern learned from their educators.

 

So, without realizing it, today we repeat those things we learned over and over again. As much as we want to change our attitude, we can’t do it because it is engraved in our subconscious, and it is the only way we know how to live.

 

 

Can I change my beliefs?

 

The good news is that these beliefs and behavior patterns can be changed!

 

PSYCH-K® is one of the tools that I use in my sessions to help you re-program your subconscious and thus allow you to leave behind those models that no longer serve you and that prevent you from reaching your weight goals.

 

PSYCH-K® allows you to change, to achieve goals, and to know yourself in a kind, safe, and respectful way. With PSYCH-K®, you replace beliefs that limit you with new beliefs, and you can change your perception of yourself and the world.

 

Imagine how different your life would be if you deeply believed that you could achieve whatever you want. And if you felt only love and respect for yourself and you were your greatest cheerleader!

 

 

What does a session with PSYCH-K® look like?

 

When I establish that you, as a client, can benefit from the PSYCH-K® technique, I will ask you a few questions to understand exactly which of your beliefs is an obstacle to achieving your goals.

 

Once the limiting belief is found, you will establish a new one to replace it. Then we use techniques that come from kinesiology to access your subconscious through certain postures in your body. Finally, the reprogramming will be done. 

 

PSYCH-K® is completely safe and has no side effects.
