Are you stuck in Indecision about weight loss?

Image
Let's talk about Indecision , what it is, what it does and the impact it can have on your results if you aren’t aware of the problems  Indecision  can cause. Indecision  is a feeling. A feeling created by thoughts like...      I don’t know what to do.      I'm not sure.      I can't decide. What happens when you feel undecided?      Nothing, nothing at all. Indecision  is when you are trying to decide which way to go in order to get something you want.      What path to take?      Which direction to go?      What results do I want?      What plan to follow?      Who to ask for help? When you can't decide which way to go, you go nowhere.      You don't move.      You don't take action.      You don't get results. Staying in  Indecision  keeps you from getting to what you want. Indecision  is really just fear.      Fear of failing.      Fear of what others may think.      Fear about getting it wrong.

Are you Fat Adapted?

What does it mean to be fat adapted? Simple… It means your body is burning the fat on your body for fuel instead of the sugar your body gets from the food you eat. How do you become Fat Adapted? Simple… Stop eating concentrated foods. What are concentrated foods? Simple… Any food that is not in its natural state. What doe is it mean to not be in its natural state? Simple… It means the food has been processed, like flours (any kind), sugars and fruit juices.  Any packaged food. If you stick with Protein, Veggies and healthy fats like olive oil, avocado oil, nut, and avocados, and only eat 3 meals a day you will begin to become fat adapted. If you add intermittent fasting, meaning you only eat in a 6 or 8-hour window,  you will become fat adapted faster. But remember, you have to cut out all sugar & flour first. Simple but not always easy... Sounds simple enough, right?  Well, it wasn't until I learned how

How to get Results in your life - The Before & After Process (part 4 of 4)

GETTING FROM BEFORE TO AFTER THE SECRET IS THE PROCESS TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE. If we know that, we know everything. The process always needs to start with our thinking.  Our thinking drives our emotion which drives our action. We need to start with our brain and the patterns of thinking. Have you ever noticed that our life is mostly a repeat?  We do and get the same things day in and day out. We are literally in the habit of being ourselves. We are efficient in default mode and our brain likes it that way.  It’s safe. So first we become of aware of where we are - the Before . Then we decide where we want to go - the After . And then we change our thinking, and our feelings and actions follow. We develop new habits of thinking that eventually turn into habits of feeling and action. This is what I help my clients learn through Life  Coaching. You change your mind and your life will follow. Coaching is all about recognizing

THE AFTER PROCESS CREATING YOUR AFTER Yesterday you created your Before Picture. Good job. Most people aren’t willing to have a look at their current state of affairs. They don’t look at what they have because most often it’s not what they want. But here’s the reason they don’t have what they want… Nine times out of ten it’s because they don’t even know what they want or they don’t believe they can have it. They are filled with excuses and complaints and haven’t even considered that they can decide what is possible. So now for the fun part… Dream! Think about everything you want in your life. Allow yourself to want, to Dream, to be open to Possibilities. Once I asked a friend what she wanted and she gave me a very boring “more of the same” answer. So then I changed the question to, “If anything was possible what would you want?” She got excited and sais "If anything was possible, I would want to quit my job and travel the wo

Yesterday we talked about the Before & After Process. Today we dig into the Before part of the Process… THE BEFORE PROCESS THE BEFORE IS WHERE YOU ARE NOW. It seems obvious, but I guarantee you it isn’t. Self-awareness is the least common trait we have as humans. We rarely take a hard look at our lives from the outside. We are so busy living IN our lives, we rarely work ON our lives. That is what life coaching is all about, stepping back and taking a look at our lives from the outside. This process works best if you can pick something specific to focus on in your life. For example: Your Relationship Your Career Your Weight Your Small Business Your Drinking Habits Your Productivity Your Stress/Anxiety Level Just pick one for now. You can go through this process as many times as you want, but the more specific you can be each time, the better. Let’s say you pick your career. You need to define the “Before”, which is whe

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW TO GET IT? THE BEFORE AND AFTER PROCESS This process takes you from where you are now to where you want to be. It's a journey to your most desired destination. It's a journey you are going to custom create. You are going to write it yourself. If you are serious about changing your life and creating results that will transform you from where you are now to where you want to be you will want to spend some time on this.  The entire process, when done correctly, can be completed in about 20 minutes. That’s a very short amount of time To be sure you want to go through this process, simply answer the following question… Do you want something for your life that you don’t already have? It seems like a basic question, but you would be surprised at how many people never even ask it. Do you want something for your life that you don’t already have? Most of us are in default mode. We simply accept more of the sam
