| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Thinner Peace and Menopause and Beyond. I'm Dr. Deb Butler, master life and weight coach, |
| 0:10.1 | and your coach, of course. Today is episode number 44, and it's all about failure is not an option. I'm talking to you. Failure is not an option. Stay tuned. |
| 0:29.8 | Hi there. Today, I want to talk about failure. And you know, it's been four weeks since the beginning of the year. And I know everybody |
| 0:39.1 | starts out in gangbusters. And then after about four or five weeks, some thoughts might be |
| 0:45.6 | running into your head, like maybe I can't do this or this is too hard or, you know, something |
| 0:52.6 | that makes you feel hopeless. And hopeless does not create |
| 0:57.8 | positive action. What you really want to feel is determination and motivation. And you know by now |
| 1:07.0 | that those kind of feelings come from your head and the things that you think, which makes me |
| 1:14.4 | think about one of my clients that I've talked to you about in the past. She's an attorney, |
| 1:19.3 | and very successful and just started her own firm, which is also doing ridiculously great. |
| 1:27.2 | And she was having trouble losing weight, and she didn't think she could do it, |
| 1:31.6 | which is why she hired me. And one of the things that we talked about, which I talked to you about |
| 1:37.7 | in one of my podcasts about having that mindset that you have in your career to have that same mindset when you're taking |
| 1:46.6 | care of yourself, to lose weight, to get healthy, to do anything that you want to do that |
| 1:52.3 | involves self-care. And so one of the things that I asked her, and you might remember, |
| 1:57.3 | if you heard this in the podcast, is what did you think when you started your own firm? |
| 2:02.2 | Because certainly you didn't feel hopeless and confused or you never would have gotten your firm |
| 2:07.2 | off the ground and it wouldn't have been doing as great as it is. And so you know what she told me? |
| 2:13.0 | She told me that the thing that she thought the most was failure is not an option. That's where |
| 2:21.0 | her mind went. And that's exactly where her mind went when she was in the middle of a divorce too, |
| 2:27.3 | which was right before she started her firm. Failure is not an option. She's got to do it. Now, just think if you actually |
| 2:37.9 | thought that same thought, failure is not an option and you believed it with all of your heart, |
