episode 126: stop getting trapped by all or nothing or thinking
On episode 126 of The Diet Diaries I’m sharing a recent experience I went through where the all or nothing thinking trap caught me by surprise.
As you all know I’ve been planning a weekend retreat in May for the last 5 months—and made a decision last week to pivot and change it to a one day retreat at my home in NJ. This change is a direct result of my ability to catch my all or nothing thinking in its tracks, notice the stories I was telling myself and take action in alignment with my values.
I’m sharing some more backstory as to what was happening in my inner world around the retreat to help you see how I was able to shift my thinking. And I talk through the skills you need to help you make sustainable changes around negative body image and binge eating recovery.
How to use your values to help you make decisions
How and why we get stuck in the all or nothing thought pattern
Why this thinking feels comfortable even though we know its ultimately not helpful
How to notice your own all or nothing thinking
A helpful visual tool to identify actions in between the extremes
How this applies to your negative body image
Why all or nothing thinking is impacting your binge eating recovery
