Winning In Your Amazing Life

-
Mind management will take a lot of practice, does not always come easy, and you may not notice immediately the big picture benefits. Picture Tom Brady (pretty good picture right? lol…) - I mean, specifically imagine all the times he has to practice throwing the football, over and over and over. He is one of the greatest QBs around and has one multiple Super Bowls. The daily ball work may seem like a grind, but the consistency and repetition is what contributes to the big picture. This is what we need to do with your brains - train them daily.
Keep in mind your primative brain works on a motivational triad of seek pleasure, avoid pain and do it all as efficiently as possible in order to survive. We no longer need to live in survivor mode. I mean lets face it, you are reading this on a phone or a laptop, likely in the comfort of your warm home or local cafe - you are surviving quite nicely as is. So in order to take your life to the next level you need to begin managing your brain with a new standard.
My teacher, Brooke Castillo, instead encourages the triad of
1. Seek growth
2. Embrace discomfort
3. Expend massive effort wisely
Your brain is an amazing tool. This new triad goes against conventional thinking, but when you can direct your brain and use this tool to your highest ability you will absolutely begin seeing changes in your life. You will feel doubt, fear and discomfort - and thats ok. It will be perfectly normal to have these feelings. The key will be to reel in primitive brain, notice that a little discomfort will not kill you, and take your life to the next level. You are in charge of your life - now go after your wildest dreams!

How To Stay Out Of Grab-Ass Trouble

I was recently talking with a girlfriend who is in the process of checking out Match for some dating options.  She had a lot going on in her brain, and it had me thinking what marriage, weighing less, or drinking less, have in common.  Being married to one person decreases the chatter in your brain and gives you a lot of freedom with the constraint.  You have committed to that one person - you don’t have to deal with any Tinder swipes, or Match parings - the marriage has taken place, and for the most part, people just honor that commitment. Now - when I talk to clients about setting a protocol for food or drinks there is initially some confusion over what is meant.  Think of a protocol similar to a marriage in that it is a contract, or plan, you are honoring - a commitment to yourself as you move towards your best life.  We set protocols for eating and drinking in order to decrease the chatter of - should I have it, or - I should not have had that, or -...

Are Other People Judging Your Drinking?

May I have all my people pleasers step forward - this is for you.  I think so  many of us care what others think - and often  to the point that you do and act in ways you really don’t want to - but you think if you do they will like you. Here’s what I’ve learned - it doesn’t matter what you do - people are always going to have their own thoughts about you. And if you don’t believe me - think about this -  Have you ever been given a compliment you didn’t really believe or accept because you didn’t think you looked that good?  Have you ever been in an argument and the other person apologized but you didn’t think they were serious and remained angry? Or maybe been on the other side where you apologized and the other person was still angry? So you did and said what you thought was going to make them feel differently - but they didn’t - because they still had their own same thoughts. Not everybody likes peaches right? You could be the juiciest peach ...

Better In the Trash Than on Your Ass

Welcome back to Mindful Weighs Wednesday where we discuss weight loss topics and tools to create the best you. I was recently listening to another weight loss coach who mentioned the food was better in the trash than on your ass.  Of course I chuckled, but it is so true.  Growing up we were always told to finish what was on the plate, but in our large portion society we have to sometimes waste food in order to stay at our ideal weight.   We hate to waste right? But if you are carrying around the extra weight as fat on your body isn't that a waste?   Think about the commitment you have made to yourself.  You have started taking the steps to make decisions in advance by planning your meals, and you eat until you are no longer hungry.  You have a compelling reason you are doing this, and you don’t want to waste your efforts for past beliefs.  I encourage you to remain future focused and really keep thinking about what you want to ...
