Hello, welcome to this episode of the podcast. This is another bit of a mindset podcast and it's

actually inspired by something I was listening to on the mindset mentor, I think it's called. Yeah,

it is. So, you know, credit where credits due, that's where this podcast kind of came from.

And this episode is all about the story that you tell yourself and how it's probably

holding you back. So your negative self-talk, your limiting beliefs, and how you have

convinced yourself that that narrative is true.

This story that you tell yourself, or more broadly, who you think that you are,

is so important because it influences the actions that you take and thus the person you become.

So in that sense, who you think you are is who you are.

And before you start arguing in your head with me

about whether your limiting beliefs are actually true or not,

I don't care because it doesn't matter.

If they are true to you, then they are true.

But the real question is, is that how you want to live your life?

Are you going to be essentially the victim to the story that you're telling yourself?

And the reason that it doesn't matter is that whether it's true or not, the story can limit you.

You might be telling yourself that you'll always

struggle with weight loss because of your genetics. And it could be true that you've been

dealt a tough card on the genetics front in terms of your ability to lose weight. And maybe you are

predisposed to having a higher drive to eat, which is primarily how your genes

impact your weight. But believing that this is true is limiting you more than it actually being

true. So your thoughts about your limits are more limiting than the limits themselves.
