Welcome to Mindset Monday, where today we tackle the Shame Spiral—a cycle of shame, guilt, and self-doubt that traps many of us - including as a relates to “failing” with regards to our health and fitness goals. Let's break free! 😎
Understanding the Shame Spiral
Picture a whirlpool of negative thoughts dragging you into self-criticism and unworthiness. Triggers like failure ignite it, fueling a cycle that feels impossible to escape.
(Why did I eat that dessert? It didn’t even taste good! Now I feel like crap! I must not deserve to be healthy.)
Breaking the Cycle
Escape begins with awareness, compassion, and courage:
💥 Cultivate Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Mistakes are part of being human.
💥 Challenge Negative Thoughts: Question the validity of your self-critical beliefs.
💥 Practice Vulnerability: Share your struggles with trusted individuals.
💥 Focus on Growth: View setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth.
💥 Set Boundaries: Say no to self-criticism and surround yourself with supportive people.
💥 Practice Mindfulness: Observe your thoughts without judgment to break free from shame's grip.
And as I tell my people all the time, picking ourselves back up requires PRACTICE!
Embracing Imperfection
Perfection is a myth. Embrace imperfection and recognize the beauty in vulnerability and growth.
Conclusion
Break free from the Shame Spiral with self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, vulnerability, growth focus, setting boundaries, and mindfulness. Embrace imperfection and celebrate your progress. 😊
Let’s have a great week as we roll into spring! David 💪🏼
