About
So who is this Joshua Wayne fellow?
I was originally trained as a Psychotherapist and have a Masters Degree in Counselor Education (a fancy way of saying “Counseling” I guess- never totally got that one) from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago.
I then spent several years beyond my graduate education getting very advanced training in a number of different coaching and communication models. During this time I studied closely with Dr. Joseph Riggio and really began honing my skill set to help clients get great results in a short period of time.
I’ve also studied a wide range of mind/body disciplines for over 20 years, ranging from yoga, meditation & martial arts to nutrition & fitness.
The Kinds of Things I’m Writing About on This Website:
- How to Master “Your Mind Over Your Belly”. There are a million different approaches to dieting and losing weight. While of course I’d say that some way better than others, my experience is that losing weight is not just about what diet you follow and what food you eat. It’s also about follow through, strategy, staying focused and dealing with stress in a healthy way. Hence, the conversation about lasting weight loss truly is as much about your mind and your emotions as it is about what you put in your mouth.
- How to End Your Emotional & Binge Eating and Mindless Night Snacking. This is many people’s “achilles heel” when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. This blog is primarily dedicated to giving you practical skills for understanding the underlying issues that cause you do it, and more importantly, how to stop doing it for good.
- How to Improve Your Relationship to Yourself, Your Body and Food. This is the core of living the life you want at the weight you want.
- How to Be Happy. Through all we do, we are searching for true and lasting happiness. That is the core drive in human life. This is also the underlying drive behind your desire to look and feel better. In my opinion, developing the tools for a truly healthy body are the same tools for developing a healthy mind and happy life: the two go hand in hand. As a result, I often focus on tools for developing both a healthy body and a happy life.
- Oh, And Also…On a lighter note: while most of my content starts with weight loss, I also run afield from there a bit…because what I also really like to talk about is spirituality, being at your best, having fun, living a good life, doing the things that are most important to you, helping and benefiting others, enjoying nature, hanging out with dogs and other animals when the occasion arises, being fit, being strong, eating good, deep breathing, laughing, appreciating the simultaneous wonder and absurdity of life, rejoicing in positive thinking and positive things…all of which, incidentally, just so happen to be the solution to enjoying permanent weight loss as well. Cool how that works, eh?
