The Head Brain & Identity - Why You Self-Sabotage
For the Head Brain - Your Identity Is Driving Your Weight Loss (Not Willpower)
- Your head brain runs “identity scripts.”
- Women over 40 often carry invisible beliefs:
- These identities can override motivation - even good habits.
Symptoms of Identity Misalignment
- Self-sabotage
- All-or-nothing cycles
- Falling off for weeks after a slip
- Feeling “not like myself”
FitnHealthy Action Steps
- Daily “identity rehearsal” (write the woman you are becoming) SWERP "S" S - Self Development
- Write down 3 wins per day. Big or small - record them all. Your brain will start to "look" for them
- Replace “I can’t” with “I’m learning to…”
- Micro-commitments (5% more effort daily) Baby steps - inch by inch it's a cinch, by the yard it's hard
Are you mostly Head, Heart or Gut Brain so far or a combination? They all work together.
