The Time is Now

-


I had a perfectly planned day today.  Photo shoot this afternoon, hair and makeup before, dinner with family after.  And then, a record storm hit the Northeast and due to rescheduling I have more time on my hands, but found myself sitting in confusion over what to do with it. 

Don’t get me wrong - I have a lot I can do, my brain just wanted to go to “I don’t know where to start”.  How convenient - if I don’t know, I don’t do -  which on a cold Saturday seems quite acceptable to just hang out.  But time is one of the most valuable assets we have.  I don’t want to waste it.  We literally can not get more of it.  We can manage it, and we can create more within the time we have, but we must be deliberate in using it.  Sitting in confusion will actually cost us time, and if you are looking to up level your life you want to create magical things with the time you have.


If you are not sure about your time this weekend I want to suggest the first step is to make a decision as to how you want to use your time for.  Most people do not plan on purpose, and if they do often times they do not honor the plan, no matter what.  At the end of the day they wonder where all the time went to.  This weekend decide how you want to spend your life.  Decide what you want to create in your life.  Simplify, focus, and be purposeful in the way you want to spend your time.  Imagine if you were willing to live your life with even half as much care as you would live your last day of life.  The time is now - create the life you dream of!

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 ...
