Your brain is a beautiful tool and left to it's own devices will likely offer up justifications to over indulge at the expense of feeling how you want to feel in your body.

We need to understand this and instead of blaming ourselves, develop self awareness and practice superthinking - being intentional with thoughts that serve you.

In this episode you’ll learn:
