As said, even though this is the last session of the program...it truly is the exciting beginning of lifelong change and growth!!
Some of the interesting books and topics we discussed today were Dr. David Burns' Feeling Good which forms the basis of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dale Carnegie's book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (written in 1948), Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking (written in 1952) and Ekhart Tolle's Power of Now.
The bottom line, is that there is no one "right" way to think or live...with this program and the use of the CRAVED no more mnemonic, you now have new tools to feel better so making positive behavior change is easier.As said, we are not out to "lose" weight, but to become "fitter, healthier and ______'er."
Chunking down your goals by starting off with smaller daily changes goes a long way, i.e. 10 minutes of walking or any physical Activity, changing the plate size or eating only in the kitchen (Environment change) as well as choosing healthier foods (Eat more beans, fruits, veggies and whole grains)...Just by having breakfast can have a healthy impact on your road to success!!
Regular Rewards can be valuable Reminders that you are worth it!! Your brand new LIFEstyle keychains look mah-velous!! Music can be a great motivator...remember Radio!
Appreciating (3 moments in the past day) and relishing your Accomplishments/Achievements can put you in a better state...Visualization of your success and past successes can alse be a great motivator!
And lastly, don't ever to forget to Deep breathe!! and Drink healthy fluids!!
May peace and joy be with you always.
Take care,
Dr.P
