Drama Vs. Data 4: Acceptance
“Hey! What’s up? So I’m sitting here just doing some work, planning things out and doing some quiet contemplation and I was thinking about the issues that people bring up around certain topics and this is part of the Drama Vs. Data theme that I’ve been going with… so the Drama Vs. Data theme is you know when people get on the scale, are they creating drama or just looking at as a data point.
And so here’s the thing… when someone has drama of getting on the scale the only reason that they have drama is because their belief systems around where their weight should be, they believe they’re in the wrong, they believe not where they should be. Well, they’re exactly where they should be because that’s the reality of the situation, right? so the accumulation of all the past decisions and actions have created where they should be. All right, think about it like this… we have MYZONE belts. It’s a strap that goes around your chest, it checks your heartrate, it tells you how many MEPs like how many calories kind you’re burning etcetera, how much energy you’re putting up based on your heart rate. I’ve yet to see a person go “Oh… no! I don’t wanna see my heart rate, I can’t see my heart rate…no! Oh God! No…” which is what we get with the scale right? “No… I don’t wanna weigh in today, I don’t wanna check my weight, I was bad over the weekend… can we weigh in later? I don’t wanna say… blah! blah! blah!…” and on and on and on and drama drama drama stories drama, stories drama. Well why isn’t that true for the heart rate? Well, because the heart rates are reflection of past decisions, etc.. Well the reason is there’s no stories in line around the heart rate. You know in the media there’s images, impressions, thoughts and beliefs that are put upon us by our parents, the media, etcetera like all these things they’re impressed upon us and we have a belief systems about where we should be. And people don’t wanna step on the scale because they don’t wanna see the reality or the truth. They don’t wanna face the truth, they don’t want to accept where they are at.
Acceptance is the first step in the transformation process. Once you get through acceptance, then and only then can you change. All right, so stepping on the scale if there’s an issue there’s a lot much deeper work that needs to be done so we’re transformation experts in getting people to lose weight, also mind-body transformation incorporates the mind aspect which is more powerful right? so if you lose the weight but you still have the problem with the scale, the transformation is not taking place.
If you’re able to step on the scale and accept where you’re at, that’s actually where the transformation is because now you can accept it and now you can move forward. And now you can accept all the actions you’ve done in the past and now you can accept your future to be greater, better and achieve moving forward to your grandest vision. So until that is done then it’s going to be hard to create the future you want so until you accept the past, until you accept where you are in the present it will be extremely hard. I won’t say it’s impossible but it will be extremely hard to get to where you are going because you can’t accept what’s already been there. So you’re not living in the present if you’re not living in the present you are not gonna take actions based on where you want to be in the future. I hope that makes sense, I hope this helps anybody who’s struggling with weight or they have more drama in getting on the scale then they do just looking at a data point.”

Drama Vs. Data 3: Getting On The Scale And Sentence Stemming
“Hey! What’s up? It’s Ian Hart here. This is part 3 of Drama Vs. Data. If you saw my previous videos I talked about how when you step on the scale that’s a data point and drama is “Oh! I can’t step on a scale…, No! I’m not gonna do it today I’m gonna do it tomorrow, I’m gonna do it next week or I can’t do it because I don’t know like…” so that is drama. And drama doesn’t help anybody, it actually makes you go further away from your goals and if you read some of the neuroscience or seen the videos about the neuroscience of transformation, habit change has to come from making something more important and more conscious so when you step on the scale it gives it more tension, you’re more likely to make the change and habit change.
If you have an issue with stepping on the scale then we need to address the issue because it’s not the scale itself, it’s the feelings attached to with the scale. So what happens is people don’t have self acceptance so it can be condemned themselves and guilt and shame comes to stepping on the scale. But, self acceptance means there’s no guilt or shame, it’s just accepting what you did so if you had a bad weekend then there’s no reason to feel guilty about it. Move on and upward towards your goal and look at the data as a reference point. Okay, I might have eaten a lot of food this weekend and I gained a couple of pounds but this week I will do better. If you have a problem stepping on the scale, we need to adjust the feelings that are associated with it so sentence stemming is a good way to use for anything but here’s a good one. Write this down if you have any issues getting on the scale:
I would feel better stepping on the scale if…
This will lead you to figure out where the issues and feelings are coming from and then once you understand the feelings that are coming up then you can anticipate them and once you can anticipate your feelings you can make a prediction and a response so you can predict “Hey if I get on the scale I might have a bad feeling well now let me create a response based on that…” Typically what happens and this is how people prevent transformation is they don’t have a prediction, they don’t have a response and they react so they get home, they have bad feelings, they start to gorge themselves with food. So they did not prepare and did not plan out what they are going to do when that feeling arise so it leads to doing something without even thinking about it. So it’s not conscious, it’s not on the brain. We know that something must have more tension and be more conscious in our mind to make the transformation. So try the sentence stem, you can do this for anything if you want more freedom in your life, if you want more love you can say… “I would have more freedom in my life if…”, “I would have more love in my life if…” whatever it is you want so I would feel better stepping on the scale if… and this writing it out not just thinking about it and really putting the work in will allow for you to reflect and once you start to make associations to why you feel this way you can start the process of transformation and get to the root cause of the issue. All right, Ian Hart with EarthFIT training. I hope this helps.”

Drama Vs. Data: Which one are you feeding?
Drama Vs. Data: Which one are you feeding?
“Hey! What’s up? Today I want to cover a topic which is Drama Vs. Data. Since we’re a personal training facility part of our value is tracking data and holding people accountable to move in towards the data that they are looking for and that data would be weighing people in, re-doing our InBody assessment that graphs everything out, also doing before and after pictures; and just those 3 points of data can tell you a massive amount. And then we’re also adding the heart rate monitors coming in soon. So we’re going to have polar flow heart rate monitors where you can see on the screen what your percentage of heart rate is, what your max, your lowest heart rate throughout your workout, how fast you recover, etc. and that will give you even more data. And so the more data we give the better.
Now there’s difference between data and drama. Drama is… “Ugh! I’m so fat, Ugh! I don’t feel good, I don’t feel like doing that, I can’t do that… blah blah blah…” that is drama. And drama takes you further away from your goal whereas data takes you closer to your goals so for an example if someone is going to weigh in… “Ugh! I just feel so fat, I just take so much on the weekend, I hate the scale, I can’t weigh in, I don’t feel good…” that’s drama or approaching the scale by saying “You know what this is telling me that 20lbs away from where I would like to be…” and now that’s data. If you focus on the drama, you’re not going to get closer to your goal, and that drama, that feeling, and that vibration you’re giving off actually is a low energy which takes you further away from your goal whereas the data brings you closer because it’s a mindset change.
So what I would suggest or consider looking at where do you have drama in your life that is actually stopping you from getting to where you want to be and turn that into data. So change the mindset around it. Just say Okay, you know you can relate it to anything so weight how you feel, money in the bank right you know would people have this reels in their head that are telling them so that’s a certain thing. And so, your self dialogue comes from your thoughts, your thoughts come from your feelings and your feelings come from your environment so ultimately either something needs to change in your environment, or you’re not hanging around the right people to make you feel good, you’re not living in an environment that makes you feel good, feel healthy and happy, you’re not buying the right foods, the foods that might trigger the emotional eating. So your environment ultimately dictates your feelings, thoughts, actions, all those things and can create more drama. So, stay away from the drama, focus on the data and you will get closer to your goals.”
