90 Second Rule. THE #1 tool to INSTANTLY get in better shape.

CLICK here for my Facebook Group Support Page for the challenge! 
M-Friday for the next 2 weeks (4/18-5/2)  Share your experience with this daily practice. I will be posting a video M-F on those dates of my experience and how the 90 second rule is affecting my body. 

First off, huge props to Neuro-anatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and Psychologist Dr. Joan Rosenberg for discovering this 90 second rule (Please scroll to the bottom of this post for science backed links from both women)

Both doctor’s use this tool to transform people’s lives. I’m using it here to instantly transform your body. 

In 90 seconds you can burn body fat, gain muscle, think better and become more productive in your day. Oh yeah and you’ll also be in a better mood:)

All you have to do is STOP and do nothing for 90 seconds

Do not interact with anything (no phone, computer, live people) Don’t pick up anything. Just breathe through your nose and let yourself BE for 90 seconds.

That’s it. That’s all it takes to stop a whole cascade of harmful hormones and reactions that work against your body.

Here’s why this works:

When we start thinking of  a lot of things our bodies producing stress hormones. We increase adrenaline, cortisol, norepinephrine, ghrelin… and our systems go haywire.

The 90 second rule works because you’re allowing your body to catch up with your brain. Remember this: Your brain moves faster than your body. Waay faster! ( It’s why you engage in a difficult work task and feel exhausted much later)

When we KEEP doing all the things to keep up with our thoughts we throw our bodies into imbalance.

We can stop this imbalance, step out of stress mode and step into healthy mode. All we have to do is stop.

Let’s try it right now:

Think for a moment of all the things on your to do list today.
  • Now add on checking email, Facebook, Instagram etcc.
  • Now think of watching or reading the news.
  • Now what are those things you’ve been telling yourself you should be doing to reach your goals.
Stop. Do you feel that?

Does your body feel tight. How’s your heart rate & breathe. Is your gut clenched? To me this feels like nervous whirring energy. I call it “whirlwindy” You may call it overwhelm, anxiousness etc.. Whatever it is for you it’s working against you. When you keep feeling those difficult feelings your body gets messed up.

We’ve simply forgotten to stop and let our bodies catch up with our brains!

When you keep thinking and doing. Your body holds onto fat. Your brain gets foggy and has difficulty learning or remembering. Your heart races and breathing stops or you start mouth breathing. You may get gassy or constipated. You may also get defensive towards yourself and others.

Your stress hormones are working in high gear
  • Adrenaline taxes all your systems thinking you have a war to fight (literally)If you are in high stress mode for longer than a few mins then you will switch to survival mode
  • Cortisol is prolonged adrenalin. It makes you hold onto body fat. You will start craving anything to give you quick energy or calm down (hello carbs, alcohol, cigarettes, chocolate, social media etc.. )
  • Ghrelin increases dramatically. This is your hunger hormone. It also keeps you from feeling full. This is why you will keep consuming anything comforting.

We are beings in a very busy thinking & doing  world. This really messes up our bodies.

So what do you do?  Exactly this:

DO nothing for 90 seconds. Do this 2-4 times daily.

I will admit this is challenging. Not because it’s difficult, because it’s different!

Tell yourself: “This is not difficult, this is just different”(that helps me stay in the 90 seconds)

To help support you and keep myself accountable. I’m gonna post a video on my group Facebook page M-Friday  for the next 2 weeks (April 18-29th 2022)

This video will simply tell you that I succeeded or failed at the 90 second rule that day and what I noticed. I’d love for you to add your own experiences or comments.

This is a game changer.  Let’s do this!
