Healthy Attitudes Towards Weight Management: Free Audios
Creating Awareness of Overeating Consequences
People may think about the long-term effects of overeating such as weight gain or health consequences, but this
awareness often has little impact because it is too far into the future. This audio is about helping to create
awareness of more immediate consequences when you are making decisions about what to eat. The more you practice
this exercise to imprint the memory of the consequences in your brain, the more it helps to make better choices.
About 11 minutes.

Hot Air Balloon Motivation
Although this audio uses imagery for relaxation and can be used just for the calming experience,
the focus on the audio is encouragement and motivation. Once you achieve a state of relaxation,
listening to the motivational statements can increase your self-confidence and belief in your
ability to achieve your goals. This audio is meant to be listened to repeatedly to help increase
your positive self-talk regarding achieving your goals.
This may be used while sitting or lying down in
a quiet, comfortable place. Just close
your eyes and listen without trying to force
yourself to relax. If your mind wanders,
gently bring yourself back to focus on the
words.
This exercise is best the more fully relaxed you
are. If you are unable to relax
completely, listen to the relaxation exercises such
as the meadow or mountain cabin until you are
more skilled with relaxation.
