Weight Loss for Foodies podcast | Ditch the Diet and Lose Weight with Shari Broder

In Episode 111, we learned what causes resistance and how cultivating a growth mindset is a major approach to breaking through it.

Yoga has a word for bits from our past that we hold inside us that keep coming up, and interfere with our ability to see what’s happening now. They’re called Samskaras.

Samskaras may be a trigger or conditioning. The problem with samskaras is that they prevent you from experiencing things in the present moment. Samskaras are a form of resistance.
