(You can read what others shared so far <a href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/how-to-make-this-new-year-different\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/what-do-you-want-to-be-different-this-new-year\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Getting to the drivers of our actions is the first key to making this year truly different. And today, I want to teach you an important method for shifting your resolutions to be more effective. I\u2019ll also share how Karen put this into practice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZtlH5Ttszo8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As we explored in the video, thinking about things a certain way puts us into a loop called TFAR.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19546 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/amihungry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TFAR-300x241.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\"><\/p>\n<p>Since we feel and act in ways that reinforce our thoughts, it\u2019s easy to develop habits that we feel powerless to change. But when you\u2019re able to identify the underlying thoughts, you can shift them to new thoughts that put you in a more effective loop. And you can start trusting yourself to make decisions about eating, like Karen did.<\/p>\n<p>I hope what I shared in the video will help you pinpoint any ineffective thoughts in your New Year\u2019s resolutions. What\u2019s one small change you can make to your thought that will lead to the results you want?<\/p>\n<p>Please post your insights and questions on this blog post&nbsp;or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/109576775752824\/posts\/2067846006592548\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.
