In this motivational video, Dr. Aravind Padmaraju argues that the primary reason most people fail at weight loss and health improvement is their mindset. He explains how limiting beliefs, past failures, and self‑sabotage create mental barriers that prevent consistent habits, leading to binge eating, stress‑induced cortisol spikes, and metabolic slowdown. Drawing analogies to habit formation (e.g., learning to drive), he stresses that the mind must be re‑trained before diet and exercise can be effective. He introduces a 30‑day "Daily Warrior Practice" (DWP) that combines brief mindset‑reconditioning sessions, light physical activity, and energy‑boosting exercises. The core of the program is a five‑step reprogramming process: (1) identify and write down all limiting beliefs, (2) perform a "memory dump" and symbolically burn the paper, (3) create positive, present‑tense affirmations, (4) repeat these affirmations twice daily (upon waking and before sleep), and (5) persist until the new belief system becomes automatic. He also links stress and emotional eating to hormonal responses (cortisol) that increase hunger and fat storage, urging mindfulness practices such as breathing to mitigate these effects. The video ends with a call to action: viewers should complete the four‑step assignment, join the 30‑day DWP via a link in the description, share the video with three people, and provide feedback for future content.

Are you struggling with your weight loss and the health challenges despite of trying every single diet and following a workout routine and also even hiring a fitness coach or a health coach? Not the diet and exercise. The biggest culprit is your mindset. Until and unless you don't change the way you're thinking, you don't change the mindset what you currently have this particular thing is not going to be a lifestyle the rest of your life. Okay, so create and sustain it for rest of your life. What is the real barriers are happening and how your thoughts and your mindset is directly related to your health and how your current mindset is creating the weight gains and also the health challenges what you're currently going through. Okay, let's deep dive off whether you are at home whether you are at travel or whether you are at hospital or whether you are at any kind of situation. Yes. How does, how does that happen? Even you're not able to do that with your health because you are very, very clearly stated and registered in your mind, making you sure that to brush your teeth because other people will not accept me. That is what is a process happened. But when it comes to a, when it comes to your weight as well as your health, what is happening is what is the kind of thoughts has been going on, beliefs, and also the past failures is creating the stronger barriers in your current mind that it is impossible to lose weight because you failed multiple times and you start self-sabotaging. For one day you eat out of your diet, or one day if you don't exercise, and we've been not able to take a positive actions. This is the biggest reason why you are not able to consistent with your habits. That's why you are again and again going and binge eating, going in a lazy state and not taking any actions, and keep clicking on the snooze button. It is repeating again and, uh, the self-doubt. And remove the fear of failure about your losing your weight. Nothing is going to change. You will have one more weight loss journey which will last for maximum maybe 3 months, 6 months, a year, and you will bounce back again. The problem is you did not— human behavioral habits. Every single thing in your life currently is happening because of your habits. From the day you get up till you go to sleep, every single task— some tasks you do effortlessly, some tasks you need to put a lot of pain and pleasure, or you need to do a lot of effort know how to— when you first time drive a car, when you first time learning, you need to hold, be very conscious about every single thing. Tell me, any person who drove for 2 to 3 years, do you even have any kind of a body— you need to give a signal, automatically your hand goes to your gear and your leg goes to a clutch and rising holding a steering, every single thing is automatically happens because you trained this particular thing again and again and again. It became a habit. Agree? The same thing, we need to train our mind to start impacting that behavior. Your mindset is actually directly behaves the more and more positive and the more and more consistently if you keep training your mind that it is possible. I can lose weight. I, it is— I am already fit and I am already fit and healthy. I am a disease— I am living a disease-free lifestyle. And if you can identify all your negative patterns and you can break them and replace them with the positive thoughts and positive beliefs, you start seeing the small, small changes started. See, your actions will start becoming automatic. So this is what you need to do for— so make sure that your negative mindset has to be ended, and you need to consistently program your subconscious mind. This is the whole reason I do a 30 days challenge. We go deep dive into your current mindset, we break every single pattern and create a new pattern every single day. I do it from Monday to Friday, every single day, 15 to 20 minutes, along with the reconditioning of your mindset. We also do something like energy activity to energize your mind, body, soul to 10x, and also do a 7 to 10 minutes of a workout. All together we do it in 20 minutes. And if you're really interested, I dropped the link in the below description, and I want you to check and follow that and just be part of it. Let's see how you can feel just matter of 30 days. I can guarantee you that if you can follow the 30 days, you will automatically take actions. The problem is we are focusing on surface-level actions. We are not fixing the root. The root is your thoughts and your mindset. The next important thing which also plays a major role about your, your thoughts and mindset is the stress and the emotional eating. This is another biggest reason a lot of people, they restrict or they are dieting so badly After a certain point of a time, uh, they, they go and do their binge eating or emotional eating. Any kind of emotional trigger happen, anything anxiety, stress, and feel like, uh, lack or any kind of a failure, the first and foremost thing what kicks in is the emotional eating pattern, which becomes normal. Because tell me, in most of the ads, what they show, what they show, right? So you have that trigger senses are already trained. And more than anything is all your past experiences. Whenever you're sad, whenever you have those feelings, you've been trained body to eat sugary foods, eat fast foods. And I was one of them. I still remember when I had, um, when I lost my wife in 2013, and that 3 months, the only thing— I don't know how to control my emotions— the only thing was the food. I gained more than 12 kgs of the weight. And I see a lot of clients which I also handled had the same kind of a problem because your mindset and your emotions has a strong interconnection. Your mind and body are deeply connected. If you have any kind of a deep negative emotions, automatically you will see the huge change the way your body will react. Your body literally feel like doing nothing. Your body feel like overeating the food. Your body feel like wanted to some kind of a pass on because you're not, you're not addressing that emotional state. Instead of that, you're running out of that by eating the by eating all kinds of crazy food. And also, what you are doing, you're going to do binge watching and binge eating and all these kinds of things you do. And you feel lethargic and you feel like doing nothing. You feel like this life is for— this life has no purpose and all of them. And then you start building those things again and again and again. It becomes a pattern, it becomes a habit. Whenever that things happen, it will be very difficult. And you hire a health or a fitness coach and he will give you a diet and exercise. And you're not addressing your emotional pattern. Do you think you'll be able to follow it? The answer, you know it. Yes. How many of you can actually relate with me whatever I'm saying? Because your body goes through certain kind of hormonal changes when, when you have a stressful environment, when you have a stress in your body, your body releases cortisol. When cortisol releases, your hunger state will go literally higher even if you are at the same state, and it will impact your sleep. When your sleep is impacted Overall recovery goes into a toss. Your body fat loss doesn't happen. Your body starts mobilizing more fat around your stomach, and you will see a belly fat coming up. All these things are happening because of the stress and the emotions what you are going through is not addressing. Yes. And also, not only that, this is a science, guys. Your mind and body has a strong connection. It impacts your metabolism. If you, if you don't know, if you don't have a proper connection with your mind and body, if you have too much of negative thoughts, too much of stress, it's not only impacts your actions. It impacts your metabolism, it impacts your immune system, it impacts your, uh, it impacts even the way you lose your fat and rather than you store more fat into your body. Yes, so one of the important ways is you need to know how you can come out of this stress by following some of the mindfulness practices like breathing. So that is why in the DWP, we also— the Daily Warrior Practice, which I have showed you, which I told you just now, We also go deep, deep into calming down every single day and setting up a right intention for the day so that you feel stress-free and also you set a right intention for the day. So what are the 5 steps you can take to reprogram this mindset so that you can not only fix them in the core level and also you can automate your actions by doing this? The first and foremost thing is identifying your patterns, identifying your current thinking pattern, current belief system pattern, you need to identify it. Write down every single limiting belief, every single failure, whatever happened in past, write it down. That is the first step. This is how you can break this one so that your weight loss is effortless, and also you can sustain it for rest of your life. The second step is once you write down and burn that in front of your eyes, because you are doing something like a memory dump— in the NLP technique it's called as a memory dump— and you're releasing all the negative beliefs into a paper and you're burning in front of your eyes, it Actually, your, your, your mind thinks that it has been released from your body. The third important step, what you need to do is you need to write down the opposite and what is exactly your desired affirmations, what kind of a body you wanted, what kind of actions you want to take, what is you're grateful for with your current body, all the affirmations you write down. And the next step is keep affirming them every single day morning and before Morning, immediately after you get up and before you go to sleep. These are the two timings you have a strong connection with your subconscious mind where you can literally program and you can literally fix your foundational root cause of the actions. Once you do that, the fourth step is keep repeating this until it becomes a new normal for you. It will not happen in one day, it will not happen in two days. It will happen in a month and a year. And when you keep repeating, when you keep building that, the state of a mind where your mind will automatically take actions, like how you brush your teeth. So this is what is a fundamental thing we need to fix it before even you start your diet and exercise, because you are not even setting up in a ground level. And once you set all this, see the, the way you're going to take actions. You will be more conscious, you will be more aware about what is happening around you, what is the choices you are making, every single thing start changing. Okay, so hope this is useful. So what is the most important thing? So 90— 90— 80 to 90% of the time, your actions are driven by your mind. The current weight challenges or health challenges all are driven by mind with the current state of the mind. So until and unless you don't break your negative mindset to a positive mindset, you will not be able to attain your fit body. Even if you attain, you will not be able to sustain it for rest of your life. Okay, so hope this video is useful and follow through all the things.
