Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. Today we are doing something different. So last week I did a workshop called Positively Healthy Weight Loss with ease and flow, and it's all about your brain and your mind and how your mind can make it more difficult or make it easy for yourself, and how to change between the two of them.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. I hope that you are feeling amazing and fabulous today. Today I want to talk a little bit about mindset. Hey, that makes a change, doesn't it? What I want to talk about is why my is the foundation of making changes. And I know that I go on and on and on about mindset, but the reason is, is because it's really important.

Mindset is the Foundation of Making Lasting Healthy Changes

And if you don't change your mindset about things, essentially, I. You aren't going to make progress. So for example, it might be that your mindset is saying things like, okay, I can't do this. This is too tough, it's too difficult, it's not gonna work for me. And then along I come and I say to you, Hey, you need to eat slightly differently.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. I hope that you are feeling amazing, amazing, amazing today. Hey, swimming season has started and I am swimming in the sea every single day. I'm totally loving it. I'm feeling like, oh my goodness. I get up quarter past six. At six 30. I'm out the door.

Hooray for Summer and Exercise that Lights You Up

I'm cycling when nobody else is up in my pajamas. I jump into the sea, I swim and I come back and it is amazing. I totally, totally love it.

2 of the biggest stressors in life are other people and the way we think about things!

Mentioned in the podcast is the "pamper pack". (I sent it out on day 2 of the Positively Healthy Weight Loss Week.)
