How To Get Around Losing An Hour This Weekend

-


Don’t forget to “Spring Ahead” later (and check your fire alarms).  Most people will say they lose and hour today, but I want to share some info on how that doesn’t have to be the case.  Most of us take time for granted because we don’t decide in a deliberate way how we want to spend it.  This weekend especially I want to encourage you to fill each moment with what you are wanting to create on purpose, instead of mindlessly “doing your time” .  This is an especially important skill if you are looking to drink less because you gain so much time when you plan drinking on purpose, stick to it, and stop all the negative chatter that takes up so much time.

We all know we can waste time with things like worrying, buffering, indecision and regretting.  This weekend of “Spring ahead” I encourage you to stay away from all of that.  These time wasting activities prevent your from evolving, and honestly you will gain so much more time in your life if you can continue to stay away from those drains, but let’s start one day at a time.  

Now that I have given you things to stop doing, I want to share some additional ideas on how to help you make up that hour this weekend.  Look at your list of things to do and make decisions strongly.  Strong decisions move you towards action, don’t spend time in indecision because there is no upside.  Take a couple minutes to plan your weekend.  Really look at what you have to do, plan a certain amount of time for each result and get it done in that time.  Don’t give yourself the luxury of seeing how long it will take.  Make a plan, get it done, and you will be amazed at how that shift can be one of the best time savers, and time creators ever.  The last tip for today will be to constrain your focus.  If you are on of those people who on your way to finish up dishes, finds yourself in the laundry room, I’m talking to you.  Stick to the plan, and stay focused no matter what.


Use these tools over the weekend to help you stand out from everyone else complaining about losing an hour.  Take this information and make it one of your most productive weekends ever.  Time is the most valuable asset you have in creating the life you dream of.  Each hour really is a gift - ensure you use it in a way that honors the value you want to bring to the world.

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 ...
