90 Second Rule. One simple formula to Instantly feel better & keep moving forward

One Choice, 8 Feelings, 90 seconds.

This trick has been a game changer for me. When I’m caught up in feeling hectic & overwhelmed I use this. CLICK HERE for short TED talk from Dr. Joan Rosenberg.

It’s super simple- just do nothing and BE with myself for 90 seconds. The rule is to let myself feel ANY emotion that comes up and do nothing to distract myself.

I actually did just that after writing that last sentence. Until I took those uninterrupted 90 full seconds ( I count “one chimpanzee” or “two one thousand” ) I had no idea how wound up I felt. My stomach and shoulders relaxed, my brain stopped whirring and worrying.

This emotional mastery tool is simple and has hard backed science explaining why taking 90 seconds will help you have easier days & keep moving forward in a way you love.  I came across this on Dr. Mark Hyman’s Broken Brain Podcast

I can’t wait for you to learn how, why & use it for yourself.

Use the Ted talk CLICK HERE if you have less than 20 mins. Come back to this podcast when you have time to hear the science and story behind the 90 second wave.

Love, Bre

Dec2020news

I’m excited to share 3 simple tools that help me celebrate the holidays AND keep moving forward.  Just scroll, click, learn and DO:)

#1.  90 Second Rule from Dr. Joan Rosenberg

How often to you feel overwhelmed, get distracted and regret how your day went? This tool is helping me have way less of those days. I’m honestly amazed at how game changing this has been for me.

There’s a bunch of science proving that when you take 90 seconds you can do better as a human on every level.  When I practice Dr. Joan’s simple formula (CLICK HERE) I get more done in my day, I make better choices, I am more patient and I sleep better.  Sounds silly and simple, but you really must check out what the 90 second rule is and exactly why every human should be practicing it daily

#2.  Cacao balls & Goldenmilk 

These 2 keep me from diving into nighttime snacks I will regret later. In fact I just grabbed a cacao ball to hold me over for an hour before dinner and later this eve I’m definitely going to enjoy some goldenmilk. This will keep my mitts off the leftover pumpkin pie and ice cream 🙂 If you tend to be a nighttime nosher or imbiber – these will fix you up way better. They are delicious (seriously) and super comforting. In fact both will help you de stress and sleep better. CLICK HERE for the goods. 

#3. This Fun NO excuse Home  Workout! 8 mins

I made this VIDEO  for Thanksgiving week, but you should keep using this anytime you need to squeeze in a workout and/ or quickly reset yourself (you will feel way better after just 3 mins, trust me) Plus you get to move and have fun with me!   CLICK here for my 8 min Home Workout video (no gear needed)

    If you have your smart phone, tablet or computer down low (below 3 feet/ 36 inches) STOP!   You are doing your body harm. Watch the video & follow the steps below

    1. Get a large screen device, do the best you can. I am using my MacBook laptop. The camera view will be larger so others can see you better & You will not be constantly peering in to see them

    2. Put your device up high– At least 3 feet! Take time to find a great, permanent set up for this. I am using the seat of a high office chair in my office and 2 yoga blocks underneath my laptop. Outside I have a tall, rolling beverage cooler from Amazon with yoga blocks taped down on top of that to add height

    3. Be ready!! Set up your device then give it a test – can your screen see all you want it to. I take a good 8 mins before any call to set up my space.

    This includes having your workout gear ready & if you’re one of my students – print out that program I sent you, please!!I work hard to send very detailed programs so you can move confidently and if we have any interruptions you can keep moving well.

    Now, promptly!  Order/Buy yourself higher surfaces, larger screens to keep doing all your things. You will need this better set up every day.

    Virtual Training Options!

    It is January 2021! If you are waiting for gyms and fitness studios to re open, please stop.  You are holding yourself back.

    Your body needs challenging movements and you deserve to feel better. The only way to stay challenged, accountable and consistent is through virtual training. I am proud to say I’ve been keeping a solid group of students on track through the pandemic. I’ve upped my game and am bringing them intelligent and fun workouts from my beautiful home studio

    Many of my students are actually doing better than pre-pandemic times.This is because they are able to make more sessions (most do 2-3 times a week) they are more consistent with their sessions (no commuting, less schedule hassle, less traveling). This allows me to keep creating more challenging programs.  Are you wondering  if you can get a great workout with an online session?

    Absofreakinlutely. (especially with this GEAR GUIDE click HERE)

    On my end I have done all I can to create the best experience for my online students. New students are often  shocked at how well they can see and hear me.

      I have been doing my own (as a student) online training with yoga and dance studios. I could never make enough time pre-pandemic to get to these classes. Now I maintain yoga twice a week and dance lessons twice a month. It feels so good when I log on and see my teachers at their  beautiful studios.

    Please, if you want to feel better and get stronger, embrace virtual sessions. You are simply holding yourself back and possibly causing your health to decline on multiple levels. You deserve better

    Best Home Fitness Set Up Guide

    Virtual training is going great

    To have the best experience you need the right tools. I’ve listed all you need to stay in shape with limited space.   You will regret it if you don’t get this stuff, trust me.

    First we start with your device set up. CLICK HERE for quick video  Stop using your furniture and books to prop up your computer. Your form will suffer, you may develop aches and pangs and it is frustrating to interact with!

    I use a great stand (below) it’s inexpensive and makes it way easier for you to hold great form and see easily.

    CLICK HERE for the Amazon link to this $49.99 computer stand.

    This is your best set up for your laptop or tablet.

    Last resort is your phone- Hard to follow along, but it’ll work. Scroll down for the best holders  Then, the fun stuff, the fitness gear!

    1.Smart Phone Mount + Tripod  If you’re gonna work with any coach or take any class, it’s online. Get a grip mount for your phone ASAP, this way you can go anywhere – park, backyard, living room. This on is lightweight and super versatile.

    Smart Phone Grip mount – If you already have a tripod or the sort – get his to hold your phone. Super tight grip, I love mine!

    Small Bendy Tripod with phone mount- Works great anywhere and has super adjustable phone mount.

    Kettlebells – Hands down, the #1 tool you need at home.The magic’s in the bell, literally! It all comes down to architecture of the weight.
    Because they are round, kettlebells work your larger, deeper muscles. This not only keeps your joints safe, it also torches calories! Here are the weights that’ll keep you doing awesome at home.

    Wait, wait! Read below first before ordering weights online:

    = NO!

    Do not order non round/ adjustable bells 

    You want iron only – no rubber bottoms or vinyl coated.  If it’s not iron all the way around your grip will suck – which means you don’t get as strong as fast. Also the rubber bottoms and different coatings will mess up your form and your floors.

    Get these bells to have at home (NOTE up to 18 pounds are in lbs- beyond that is all Kg)   1 Kg = 2.204 lbs    ( 10 kg bell = 22 lbs)

    • Most Basic Set up for Beginner =  One 14-18 lb Bell, One 12 Kg Bell, One 16 Kg Bell

    Below is the best set up for anyone who’s doing bells at home for more than 3 weeks.

    • 1x 14-18 lb bell for mobility and injury prevention work
    • 2x 10 Kg=  TGU’s and light shoulder mobility work (halos) overhead presses, single leg deadlifts, One arm swings + overhead presses.
    • 2 x 12 kg Dbl cleans, OH presses, Single leg deadlifts
    • 2 x 14 kg Dbl swings, 2 hand (classic) swings
    • 1 x 16 kg ** Most people’s 2 Hand (classic swing)
    • 1 x 20 kg Deadlift, 2 hand swing
    • 1x 24-28 kg Hvy swings, perfect for Pavel’s “Quick and the Dead + Simple & Sinister”

    If you gotta scale down then go with this: most basic set up/ essentials =  1x 14 lb,  1×18 lb, 2x10kg + 1 x16 Kg (to start with)

    Strongfirst is the best choice hands down. As of Sept 10th they’ve been filling orders faster than Amazon retailers & they are the best quality = well worth the price!  CLICK HERE to order

    Below are the top available brands on AMAZON to find bells.

    RKC, Rep Kettlebells & Yes4all.

    If Amazon doesn’t have bells available at either above – Order off ROGUE.com, ONNITfitness or Nordiclifting.com

    #2 Tool: Yoga Mat.
    Get the best one- Manduka, don’t go cheap on this. You will forever be frustrated and you will be using this a lot for park and home workouts

    #3 Tool: Perform better superband – 1/2 inch
    Superbands! Order 3-4 of these. They work well and you will wear through them

    Eat Chocolate, but know this first!

    Q: Chocolate is good for you.  Right?

    This is something I hear often. There’s a super easy answer to this:

    A: Over 80% Cacao chocolate is good for you.  Read that again… Cacao, not Cocoa. 

    CACAO is the amazing bean itself found in the upper Amazon of South America (Peru, Brazil, Equador, Columbia, Venezuala)

    The beans are then ground down- still Cacao

    Once we treat it and add sugar to it, it becomes Cocoa!

    That sugar takes away the superpowers of the Cacao.  The sugar confuses our human bodies and kicks up an immune response. Hello inflammation!

    So the less sugar.. the more CACAO and huge benefits for your body!  Add sugar, and maybe even milk… you’ve just severely downgraded your cacao and created a struggle for your body.  This can be tricky, so read slowly:

    80% dark chocolate is not the same as 80% cacao. For a lean body you want cacao, not dark chocolate.

    Keep it simple! Buy raw cacao products. Stuff like:

    Cacao powder:

    Ingredients should say exactly: “certified organic cacao powder”

    Dark Choc bars-  Scroll down for my favorites. ALWAYS look for over 80% cacao OR “over 80% dark” Ingredients should read Organic Cacao Beans +  organic cane sugar OR coconut sugar OR raw honey.

    My favs chocolate treats are:

    #1: Healthy Hot Cacao

    Healthy Hot Cacao – serves 2

    • 2 tbsp coconut fat – thick white cream at the top of a can of Full Fat Coconut milk
    • 2.5 cups almond milk
    • 2.5 tbsp raw cacao powder
    • 1.5 tbsp raw honey
    • 1 tsp nutmeg
    • 1 tsp cinnamon

    Combine all ingredients in a pot over med/high heat, whisk well and serve warm.

    #2 Honey Mama CLICK HERE

    I love this because the sweetener is RAW HONEY.

    #3 fav = TAZA Wicked Dark, 95 % dark

    You will not be able to find any chocolate bar without ANY sweetener in it, if you do- you will most likely hate the taste.. hence the sweeteners.

    Shelly calls it –  “Breaking through Limiting Beliefs”

    All I know is I’ve been practicing their steps and I’m screwing myself over way less. I’m moving forward in life on a lot of levels and daily life is Waaay easier lately- on every level.

    THIS podcast episode  literally stopped me in my tracks. I pulled over the first time I heard it – And I’ve listened to it 3 times now.

    I’ve been practicing the tips Shelly gave and it really is keeping me from Limiting Myself daily

    THIS EPISODE will get you to see how you’ve been liming yourself + Hand you tools to finally free yourself, immediately!

     

    Basically they make it easy to change your hard to change behaviors.  You know the daily stuff that is totally making you screw yourself over 🙂 Their goal is to help each human feel free. Freedom that comes when we STOP our limiting beliefs.

    Shelly Lefkoe – is on a mission (with the LEFKOE INSTITUTE) to guide people to their own freedom.

    CLICK HERE to LISTEN to  on the BROKEN BRAIN Podcast with host, Duro Purohit

    Here’s a quick summary to  entice you:

    We screw ourselves up in life when we assign meaning to situations and when we stay in  old beliefs. Sally explains, in a super simple way how our beliefs and the meaning we put on things can totally keep us stuck and suffering in life .

    1. WE assign Meaning –

    Humans are meaning making machines, it’s what we innately do. It’s also something we do that fucks a lot of stuff up. Once we assign meaning – we have changed a simple situation into something bigger than it is- AND often much worse than it actually is. We assign drama to something

    That is because our individual meaning come from our own BELIEFS

    2. Beliefs ARE NOT TRUTHS!  – Shelly explains

    The meaning we put on situations ALL comes from our own beliefs.  Beliefs are simply something we (each) SAW in our early years ( most often from our caregivers)  that was formed into a belief… something we sincerely hold to be true.

    No parent is perfect and mine definitely showed me some weird stuff that I formed into some super LIMITING beliefs.

    These 2 simple tips from Lefkoe –

    1. DISSOLVE meaning you assign to situations

    2. RELEASE old beliefs.

    Peter Crone. The Mind Architect

    How does this feel to you:  “Who would I be in the absence of all my concerns?”

    Did your shoulders just relax and maybe did you take a deep breath?  This is one simple perspective tool that “Mind Architect” Peter Crone uses with Pro Level Athletes and Biz Tycoons to keep them on top of their game.

    Ok, so this hot Brit kinda blew my mind last week and has made everyday way easier…

    I stumbled across Peter’s insights just last week (May 24th) as I was scrolling through one of my favorite podcasts

    The Broken Brain by Dr. Mark Hyman, hosted by Dru Purohit.

    I was hooked and have listened to this episode 3x  now.  This stuff is saving me so much time and energy!

    Listen to this Podcast AND CHECK out PETER on  the HEAL Documentary on Netflix. It’s all about taking a hard look at how we shape our realities with our daily perceptions, beliefs & thoughts – and how these things can totally wreck our bodies OR give us unlimited potential.

    https://www.petercrone.com/

    “The Mind Architect Peter Crone is a writer, speaker and thought leader in human potential who works with entertainers, professional athletes, and global organizations. Peter redesigns the subconscious mind that drives behavior to inspire a new way of living, from limitation and stress to freedom and joy.”

    CLICK HERE for his podcast on THE BROKEN BRAIN from Dr. Mark Hyman

    check out the NETFLIX Documentary, HEAL

    It’s great being in this world together and I can’t wait to see just how much better we can do as better humans, together

    VIDEO! Bulletproof your coffee in 1 min at home daily

    Okay –

    So, unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve most likely heard of Bulletproof Coffee. This stuff is sprouting up all over – Juice Bars, Whole Foods there’s even Bulletproof cafes!  At least here in Seattle.

    So fitting!  Not just cause we’re gaga over coffee.. also because we have a lot of hard working tech and software people.. People that need their brains firing at superhuman levels + not turning into a doughy mess while they are changing history daily.  Guess what – Bulletproof does that for you.

    I know this first hand – been enjoying it every day for the past 4 years.. In fact made a VID for you on how to make it at home 🙂

    ALL you need is

    • 2 ESPRESSO Pods (less water is better)
    • 2 tbsp MCT Oil (I like ONNIT or Bulletproof brand)
    • 1 tbsp GHEE ( I love Fourth and Heart)
    • 1 whisker to blend – I LOOOVE the BEAN ENVY CLICK HERE ($14 off Amazon)

    MUST have OR use blender once espresso is poured on top of MCT and GHEE.

    This is the ultimate game changer for high performing humans.  It freakin’ better!  The creator, Dave Asprey, is a Silicon Investor turned Bio Hacker (figure out how to naturally get humans to perform better) . He had to keep up with multi million deals daily + raising kids + not becoming a fat wreck.. which he was at one time, until he created Bulletproof. Necessity is truly the mother of invention!!

    Bulletproof gets your body to burn fat,  keeps you full for hours  & makes you crush your workouts (Seriously!)  Plus – it’s actually chock full of nutrients.

    So If you’re into turning heads, getting promotions & feeling ‘effing awesome .. Listen up!

    First – Here’s the nutritional benefits

    1. Coffee Beans are chock full of amazing nutrients – specifically aiding physical and mental performance CLICK HERE for all that info

    2. MCT oil – This is simply the best stuff taken out of Coconut Oil. That creamy white stuff you cook with.. yeah it’s got something seriously powerful hidden inside there. MCT – Medium Chain Triglycerides.  This stuff is chock full of antioxidants and Omega 3’s. great for improving memory, daily optimal brain health + It gets you to burn some serious calories.

    3. GHEE/ Clarified Butter–  You can also use high quality grass fed butter. Difference is Ghee does not contain Casein, which many people’s bodies do not love. If you are lactose intolerant or just have a finicky gut– get bloated or gassy easily – opt for GHEE

    CLICK HERE to Learn why Butter is totally healthy and can actually help you lose weight! 

    Both have great nutritional benefits. This is because Grass Fed Butter OR Ghee are rich in

    Conjugated Linoleic Acid– Great stuff made in cow’s bodies that we can tap into. It’s  a fatty acid that lowers our risk of

    Cancer & Osteoporosis. It also wards off asthma, increases insulin sensitivity (better blood sugar control) AND increases weight loss CLICK HERE for more info from top Docs on this

    AND

    Butryate . This is a super healthy fatty acid that actually helps us ward off mental deficiencies and mental illness + it’s a top anti-inflammatory.  CLICK HERE for cool downloadable infographic on this

    PLUS – Ghee and Grassfed butter are high in Vitamins D, E, K and Antioxidants !!

    So if you wanna lean out, boost your brain power, stay full longer and totally boost your overall cellular health – You need to start tapping into this stuff.

    I’ve been doing it for 4 years now every AM – and my blood pressure is amazing, Im able to stay full for 4 hours in the AM – soo needed as a busy early morning person, I’ve gotten my body fat down to 17% (totally owe it to bulletproof + 5 days a week Kettlebell practice.. and of course good sleep and tons of veg:)

    But-my point is Bulletproof has been a freakin’ game changer for me- Go ahead TRY IT!

    Follow my step by step Vid HERE. This is how I make it every AM

     

    Just ABSOLUTELY – do not go cheap on this – reg coconut oil and butter will NOT do the job.. In fact it’ll give you the runs, bug your gut and possible make you gain weight – you wil definitely suck wind through your workout.

    How to take the edge off without putting some belly on

    So my good friend is visiting from San Francisco this week AND I’ve got a couple big family get togethers coming up.

    While this is all fantastic stuff.. I also want to stay looking and feeling fantastic.

    Which means I should take it easy on the alcohol…

    Now, this can be hard when you want to meet up at some comfy spot and catch up with your long lost bud, or you seriously need a little something to take the edge off around your relatives.  That’s exactly why I have a great 3 step plan to enjoy these social times, without the set backs

     

    1.  Eat before you meet up.

      Even if you are meeting for dinner, if you are at all hungry, enjoy a snack or smoothie before you leave for your rendezous.  I love a green smoothie or a small nut mix. –  My “Pre-Funk” Recipes are below:)

    This way you will drink slower AND you will absorb you amazing nutrients from your foods better.

    SO GET THIS:  Even if you pick the most stunningly healthy dish off the menu, once that alcohol passes your lips.. you will absorb very little of those amazing nutrients.  The body has 100% attention on any alcohol in your body and dramatically slows digestion and absorption of any foods that come into your belly.

    So fix it!  Eat  30 mins-1 hour before you drink (use recipes below) then enjoy drinks without food.  OR have the drink on it’s own, wait bout 30 mins, then eat.

            2.  Have 2 big glasses of water for every drink you have.

    Make those glasses at least 10 oz each.  This will slow you down and fill you up, so you will drink slower and less alcohol

            3.  Take a walk or dance after that drink!

    When you get your body moving, you speed up your metabolism and get that alcohol moving through your body so you don’t feel it, or see it so much the next day

    I hope this helps you enjoy your get- togethers more and still love what you see!

    Here’s a video with some moves you can do in 3-5 mins.   Watch the video, DO the moves and then schedule 3 more times in your day to do them again.

    work out in short bouts 4-15 mins  3-4 times throughout your day.

    How to stay on track with your goals in 2021

    January 2021 is a  freakin’ hard time to be a human being. I figured we could all use a little support.  This 5 min video ( with 5 steps below to follow) shows you how to keep moving forward with your goals AND how to quickly get back on track when you get knocked off by daily life.

    (I made this on Friday Jan 8th for my  Facebook community weekly tip. CLICK here to join the group and see past tip videos)  Follow the 5 steps below. I will post a new video on Friday Jan 15th to keep us moving forward.

    #1. Feel it First!  Get crystal clear on how  your goal will make you feel. The feeling of having that goal accomplished is what keeps you doing the work.

    Ex:  Not snacking after dinner makes me feel better the next day. I like what I see in the mirror + I have more energy and I feel proud of myself.

    Right now, Write yours down. Put it where you will see it tomorrow.

    #2. Know exactly what you need to do. To get to that feeling, what must you do daily?

    Ex: For me to keep feeling better, I need to not eat after 7PM , 4 nights a week (I’m allowing myself an evening treat on Thursday and Saturday’s)

    Write yours’ down

    #3. What action must you put in place and when to make this happen?

    My example:  I will set an alarm for 6:50 and make sure I make some tea and get out of the kitchen.

    #4. How often do you need to practice this? 

    My example = 4 nights a week (I don’t like feeling too regimented and don’t need to take myself too seriously)

    #5. Be kind to yourself. This is the game changer.   See my “Talk Better to myself practice”  below Also check out this TED talk from Dr. Kristin Neff on the science of self compassion & what happens when we talk poorly to ourselves.

    Bre’s talk better/ “self compassion”  practice:
    When I get off track and snack in the evening (light example)
    I will say good words to myself like:
    “Girl, you did not fail, you got off track today and that is okay.  You still want to feel proud, strong & healthy with higher energy. Let’s take the best possible step right now. Do not put yourself down, let’s look at what we need to do next to keep moving forward”

    The ONE rule. What you must follow to stay on track and break habits that hold you back

    It’s simple.   FEEL first. Don’t think than take action – this is where we screw ourselves over. “we are not our thoughts” Eckhart Tolle. If you grab onto a thought without feeling first, you’re set up for failure. Watch my video below and follow my 5 step process at the link below

    Follow THIS LINK to see how this works in my 5 steps to change. This 5 step system get you to stop the habits that are holding you back 

    Posted on December 26, 2020  |  Stress Less

    5 quick steps to make the changes you want.

    It’s Jan 2021. For many that means deciding what changes need to be made. This could be as simple as you don’t have that snack before bed. Whatever it is, it’s a change. Change is hard. That is why I practice this 5 step system

    I use it at least twice a day, it really is the magic key that is getting me to stop habits that hold me back from goals I want to reach.

    BRE’s 5 Step System to stop bad habits

    1. Stop – literally do nothing else sit upright and put down all distractions (no phone, scrolling, writing, typing, wandering)
    2. Breathe– breathe in and out slowly through your nose. Do 4 counts in, hold for 7 counts and out for 8 slow counts.
    3. Feel. Name what you are feeling – get specific.. not just “anxiety”  maybe it’s “overwhelm, fear, panic, embarrasment
    4. STAY with that feeling for 90 seconds. Do the best you can – even 20 seconds can be a big deal CLICK HERE for Science on WHY 90 seconds
    5. Move your body lightly– just for a few seconds, shake out your legs, move your arms. Time to stay out of your head and in your body. Remember your head is where that pesky thought is hanging out.

    Then make the next best possible step. This may mean, go to bed. Get out of the kitchen, go on a walk, get back to work.

    I’ve put an example below with further explanation on why you must FEEL ( not think or take action) to stop bad habits.

    As humans we want to stay in the comfort zone.  But the comfort zone is where we do worse. We get  sad, fat, frustrated and create more struggles for ourselves.

    Consider this familiar comfort zone habit.  You are stuck in a routine of a cookie before bed. Is it really that big a deal?

    I’d love to say no, but that’s a lie. A cookie 3 nights a week (even a Gluten Free, Dairy Free made with date sugar cookie) will cause you to sleep worse. By the time you wake up (6-8 hours later)Your body will be struggling on every level (lower immune system, your brain and muscles will not fire as well, you will be more hungry and crave more sugar)

    So what do you do? There’s got to be a killer workout or super healthy green juice you can down. Those things might help, but they are a band aid, and you will simply be wasting your time, money and energy.

    The #1 fix to stop your bad health habit is simple:  Allow yourself to Feel. You must feel  what is under your thought.

    You can roll your eyes and sigh in frustration all you want.  There is no way around this simple tool. Try all the shortcuts – brush your teeth, go to bed early, do 5 push ups, get fresh air, drink tea. But this habit will return until you simply sit and feel and let that feeling pass through you.

    Your feeling is in the driver’s seat, your brain and body are simply reacting.

    So if you feel stressed, your body will respond with racing thoughts and a surge of cortisol, this will cause you to eat the cookie when you watch the evening news.  What if you don’t watch the evening news, you’re not stressed and you still want the cookie?  This is a pattern you have formed, a blueprint.

    You have had the cookie enough times at the end of the day, that you have conditioned your body to feed it a cookie before bed.  And when you don’t eat the cookie, you get super uncomfortable.

    The only way to get out of this pattern is to DO nothing but feel and breathe. You need to get you out of your head and into your body, light movement & fresh air help as well.What ever you do – do not distract yourself. Don’t pick up your phone, don’t check your email, don’t plan or make any lists. These distractions are keeping you in your bad habit loop. You must name the feeling so you can release it “Name it to tame it” 

    It’s the magic key to stop that habit that’s holding you back. Once you identify what you are really feeling, your body will relax and your hormones will shift, your mind will ease up and your body will stop feeling in desperate need.

    I wish I could tell you to do 5 squats or take an herbal supplement, but until you sit with that feeling, see it for what it really is- then it will unhook it’s grimy fingers from the drivers seat, so you can take back control.

    We all have bad habits. We may not need to fix them unless they are holding us back from our goals. This is up to you to decide.

    If you do- want to break a habit that is holding you back, follow my 5 step system. Do #1-5 in order anytime you the thought of your bad habit (scroll Facebook, drink wine, smoke, hit snooze, watch another NETFLIX episode..)

    BRE’s 5 Step System to stop bad habits

    1. Stop – literally do nothing else sit upright and put down all distractions (no phone, scrolling, writing, typing, wandering)
    2. Breathe– breathe in and out slowly through your nose. Do 4 counts in, hold for 7 counts and out for 8 slow counts.
    3. Name your Feeling – get specific.. not just “anxiety”  maybe it’s “overwhelm, fear, panic, embarrasment
    4. STAY with that feeling for 90 seconds. Do the best you can – even 20 seconds can be a big deal CLICK HERE for Science on WHY 90 seconds will change you dramatically.
    5. Move your body lightly– just for a few seconds, shake out your legs, move your arms. Time to stay out of your head and in your body. Remember your head is where that pesky thought is hanging out.

    Then make the next best possible step. This may mean, go to bed. Get out of the kitchen, go on a walk, get back to work.

    Bre’s 2020 Holiday Treats!

     Decadent  (easy/no bake) Spirulina/Cacao Balls + Golden Milk 

      I’m a nightime nosher. When it’s cold and dark outside the cravings hit hard. But I hate undoing my workouts and healthy eating with desserts I crave. That’s why I keep these decadent cacao balls stocked and ready in my fridge. I grab one when I crave something sweet. They also hit the spot and help me sleep better.  That’s due to their nutrients: High in Magnesium, protein, Omega 3, B vitamins and anti-oxidants. Directions below makes about 25 two inch balls

    •1/4 cup hempseed
    •1 cup cacao powder (not cocoa! look for only 100% cacao ALSO rainforest alliance certified)
    •4 tbsp “hawaiin spirulina”
    •4 tbsp coconut oil
    •6 tbsp raw honey
    •2 pinch pink himalayan salt
    •1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut, small flakes

    Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix throughly with clean hands and form into small balls. I roll them up into 2 inch diameter balls, wrapped individually in foil and keep them in the fridge. Perfect for anytime- with afternoon coffee to hold you over, pre-workout snack, before bed when you’re looking for something to nosh on.

    These will keep your immune system up, boost your energy, calm your nervous system and keep you lean and fit. Happy Holidays!

    stay healthy, get stronger
