Unlearning to Heal
What’s one or more beliefs that protected you as a child… but now confines your health journey?
That belief may have helped you survive then.
But is it helping you thrive now?
1. "Finish everything on your plate."
Taught you not to waste.
Now?
You override hunger cues and struggle with portion control.
2. "Good girls don’t ask for what they want."
Kept you ‘polite’ and accepted.
Now?
You don’t advocate for your needs — in your health, relationships, or rest.
3. "Work comes before play."
Taught discipline and responsibility.
Now?
You skip workouts, sleep, or stress relief because “there’s always more to do.”
4. "Don’t be selfish."
Kept peace in the family.
Now?
You feel guilty prioritizing your meals, workouts, or self-care.
5. "Push through it."
Built resilience.
Now?
You ignore pain, fatigue, or burnout — until your body forces you to stop.
6. "If you’re not productive, you’re lazy."
Gave you drive.
Now?
You can’t rest without guilt — even when rest is exactly what your body needs to heal.
7. "Thin = good. Fat = bad."
Came from diet culture in your environment.
Now? You equate worth with weight and sabotage progress through shame or extremes.
8. "Children should be seen and not heard."
You learned to stay quiet, stay small, and not make waves. It protected you from conflict or rejection.
Now?
You silence your needs. You struggle to speak up — at the doctor’s office, in relationships, in your coaching journey.
You may even dismiss your own body’s signals… because you were taught your voice didn’t matter.
Your voice is vital.Your story is valid.Your body is worth listening to — and so are you.
Any others You experienced that don't serve you now? 💝
