Summary

Discipline is about doing what you don’t want to do because you know it’s the right.

The person you ARE and who you become through doing hard things paradoxically makes you happier.

Victim hood doesn’t serve us, and I’ve had that tested over the past 4 months.

Once again I’m coming back to delusional optimism.

Wild gratitude and the WORK of being content, regardless of suffering.

A mindset of empowerment in the face of pain is a deliberate act of rebellion, so don’t give up.

You got this.

Keep going.

It’s worth it.

If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. My name is Chelsea and if you are struggling to lose weight on a plant-based diet, then this podcast is for you. While there are thousands of books, podcasts and resources about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the reality is that being vegan does not
0:21.9	guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start,
0:28.6	or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough
0:34.1	willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the
0:38.7	truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, how to use proven methods of
0:44.1	behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that lead to getting and staying
0:49.9	lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Hello, welcome to the podcast. I'm super excited
1:10.2	about this one because it's, it's very personal and this is going to be dedicated to anyone who has experienced some internal conflict, some internal pain, someone who struggles with discipline, who struggles with doing difficult things things maybe you feel like your body is
1:29.2	fighting against you like everything is hard in your life like you have legitimate reasons to be
1:35.7	unhappy like whatever it is that is making the journey for you to lose weight and change your
1:41.9	habits and build trust in yourself really difficult this podcast podcast goes out to you. And it comes off the back of a very painful and difficult six months.
1:53.1	And I'm almost hesitant to frame it in that way. So the way that I'll talk about it is the last six
2:00.1	months have tested the framing that I typically use for myself in terms of the way that I speak to myself.
2:07.1	They have tested my beliefs.
2:09.4	They have tested the attitude in which I choose to see the world.
2:14.3	They have tested my view of myself.
2:16.1	And I have felt happier, but also
2:20.7	sadder and more depressed in the last six months than I have for a very, very long time. And I'm
2:27.3	not a stranger to feeling crap. But this has been very testing for me. And I want to share some of the things that are not new
2:37.2	concepts. They are things that I keep going back to and no matter how much I stray from them,
2:45.0	they almost, it's like this kind of bedrock that pulls me back and I, I do believe that
2:50.3	these things make me happier.
