Simple Steps to Healthier More Balanced Living

How we show up to our meal affects how our body processes the food we are eating. If we show up to eat in a stressed state, then we are minimizing our digestive power. Think lion chasing you. Your body is not going to focus on digesting that sandwhich, but on pumping blood to your extremities so you can run away. When our stress response is ON, our digestion slows down and we are not able to benefit as much from the food we are eating. I used to focus only on the WHAT I was eating and not on who I was being. Was I showing up to the meal in a little stressed, rushed, distracted, annoyed? Or was I showing up relaxed, with my parasympathetic nervous system on so I could digest my food? It only takes 2 minutes to get out of the excess cortisol and into a more relaxed state. Check out the episode and learn how to maximize your full digestive power so you can feel better, loose weight, and have more energy. Better balance is key. This episode continues our series on mindful eating. To get started on your own healthier more balanced life, go to coachingcanhelp.com

We tend to be overly focused on the WHAT we should or shouldn't eat when we are trying to loose weight, have more energy, or eat "healthy" (whatever that means this week). Instead, I want to offer to you that WHAT we do or do not put in our mouth is only a part of the picture here. WHAT we eat, WHY we eat, WHEN we eat, HOW we eat, WHERE we eat, and WHO we are being when we eat, all matter. I used to think that I only had to focus on the WHAT part, and wondered why I wasn't seeing the results I wanted. This is the first episode in a series on food. Get ready to learn some new mindsets that can help you get results. When you are ready to make progress with your own food goals, sign up for a free consult call to get started.

When we want to improve something in our health, we usually take some kind of action. We do something to get that result. Usually, we make one or more of these mistakes in the process, which leaves us frustrated, overwhelmed, and ready to quit. Until the next time, when we make the same mistakes again and wonder why we never get that result (weight loss, less stress, more physical activity, better sleep, etc.). I have made all 7 mistakes over and over and over. Now, as a habit trained coach, I know how to avoid these mistakes. I still do them from time to time, but I recognize it now and shift myself back into the actions and thoughts that lead to the results I want. If you're ready to avoid making these mistakes and start making real progress towards your own health goals, sign up for a free consultation call and I will help you develop a simple plan to reach your desired outcome.
