This is a YouTube video titled "A new year's plan for success" containing a monologue or talk by Beverley Simpson recorded in early January 2024. Beverley discusses psychological cycles related to core beliefs, identity, and behavior change, using the example of weight loss and dieting to illustrate vicious and virtuous cycles.
The outcome will have an effect, a feeling, and then the. And then it will be presented in there. In there. And then people will make a meaning out of it, and then it will be presented in their external environment, which only fuels the core belief, and they shift into identity, and there's a vicious cycle and a virtuous cycle. Okay, so what that would look like in a vicious cycle is, let's take healthy and fit, because, you know, new year, new, new you, right? Like, they have this core belief that it's not possible for them to lose weight no matter what it is that they do, based on their skill level, their thought. They're like, no, no, I'm gonna change that. So they take action. I'm gonna do keto. And then they do keto. And then the outcome that they get is, like, they lose weight, but then they gain it all back and more, and so they feel like trash. They just. I'm like, I'm a loot. They. They feel like absolute garbage about, you know, I.
