Psychological Barriers and Self-Sabotage
January 17, 2025
I have something amazing to say after this podcast, but that part that you just said there, I completely had a little laughing moment because this is what I've been telling all my girls this week because my coach put me on to, I'm saying, like, I have a coach who's a psychologist. And anyway, I'm reading The Mountain Is You. It's funny. There is no mountain. The mountain is you. You are the one that's stopping yourself. And it is so true. Like it is the best book. Anyone listening to this, please get the book. Like it wasn't until I was around 70 to 70, 70% through the book that I'm like, fuck, hello. Like most of it was just like, yeah, this can help me help my clients. But as soon as I got to there, I'm like, yep, this is my section of the book. But we are always our own mountain. and that is what I wanted to get at with this. We are always the ones stopping ourselves. And regardless, I will always say, our job as a coach is to stop you doing dumb shit. And it's not that it's dumb shit because it's not your fault. You just, you're scared of eating more food. So then as soon as you start to eat more food, you panic, the pants get tight, whatever it is. And then you second guess everything and then put yourself back into a deficit. And then you end up spinning your wheels. Like you're stopping yourself. Ali was stopping herself. everyone stops themselves until they had enough and they finally just go all in and as soon as you go all in i started the podcast off with this luke and i know that you're going to get results if you follow what we tell you to do but it's just that most of us you have to follow it you have to actually do it literally like consistently not just on weekdays and not just yeah and the thing is like people need to understand you're either in or you're out like you if you want to get the results that we tell you you can get. You're either fully in or you're fully out. If you're halfway in, you're going to get halfway results. So you have to make a decision whether you're ready to be fully committed or not. So if you get fully committed, we're good. If you want to be half committed, that's okay. But just understand that our timeline has now exponentially increased. You'll agree. Am I a nice coach or am I a pretty, I'm a, I'm a dick. I can be a real dick to my clients there's a difference between being nice and kind you are a dick but you're kind because if it wasn't for you i would not be where i am if it wasn't for you many people wouldn't be where they are but that's because you call us out on our shit and that's being kind and most people aren't even kind to themselves they fool themselves into these very things it's exactly what you said and that's the thing
