Uncertainty is a normal part of changing your body, whether losing weight or healing a health condition, but it often becomes the biggest obstacle to achieving results. Today, Laken and Lindsey discuss these key concepts to help you with your mindset:
• How the lack of control over timing creates problems for you
• How the fear of past failure can lead to learned helplessness, where staying stuck feels safer than risking another disappointment
• How "expectation overload" causes overwhelm
• How our brains are wired for instant gratification, creating "dopamine delays" that make self-sabotage easy when progress feels slow
• The need to focus on finding certainty in your daily actions rather than the timeline to the outcome
• Why celebrating non-scale victories is the way to go
