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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Recovery Videos. How to best set up your recovery plan!

    CLICK the Video above AND Write down Answers to each of the 5 steps. Detailed below for you!

    Step 1: What is my main goal? ANYthing you want to achive in the next 6-8 weeks
    ( work, physical, emotional/mental health, family connection…)
    Step 2: When do you want to complete this by? Write down the exact date.
    Step 3: To meet the above time frame, how many hours per week MUST you work on this goal?
    Step 4: Write Down the EXACT hours you can make this happen on the EXACT days you can do this work.
    Step 5: Limit ALL distractions. Treat this like a work meeting with your CEO! DO not allow yourself to schedule anything during these times. Set alarms to start and stop **Do not access social media or email while you are working on this goal

    NOW- move onto the next Video to create your rock solid plan.
    (at the bottom of this page are more videos for body recovery/ rolling, mobility to employ in your recovery time if you are wanting that)

    Once you’ve completed Part 1. Start this Video
    (Your plan will not work until you’ve set up your WORK plan. Once we know when we must work the most, then we can set up the recovery plan)

    Step 1: Use your notes from the previous Video & Write down your big WORK periods (ex: me = Monday full day till Tues early eve)

    Step 2: Find time right before of after those large work periods
    (ex: me = Tuesday eve I wrap up everything by 5 PM, eat dinner then go for a walk, veg out to Netflix and early to bed)

    Step 3: Find 1-3 “Playtime” tools. Simple things you can do that comfort you and keep you feeling good (so not a gallon of ice cream OR 3 glasses of wine OR scrolling through social media)

    My playtime tools = Dancing, drawing, riding my bike down the street to an empty lot and screaming anything, sitting in the grass in the sun and painting my nails, having a phone call date while I take a long walk…

    Step 4: Schedule these recovery times– Do not let yourself bleed your work time into these! Make sure you’re set up so you make these happen = set that phone date with your friend. pump up your bike tires, get drawing paper and pencils..

    Step 5. Take Action! You made a solid plan, Now simply work the plan.

    Please leave me comments below on if and how this helped you, thank you!

    Easy & Delicious Yam and Kale Salad

    PCC Yam & Kale Salad

    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds unpeeled Jewel or Garnet yams, cut into wedges 1-inch long by 1/2-inch wide
    • 1/4 cup cooking oil, divided
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
    • 1/4 cup whole cloves garlic, peeled
    • 1 yellow onion, sliced
    • 1 bunch green kale, tough stems removed and leaves cut into 1/2-inch strips
    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 400° F.

    Toss yams with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Spread out yams on a baking sheet.

    Line a baking dish with foil and place garlic cloves in the center. Drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over cloves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil to create a packet and seal tightly.

    Place both the baking sheet of yams and garlic in the oven. Roast yams until golden and tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Roast garlic until soft, 40 to 50 minutes. Allow both to cool.

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool.

    Increase oven temperature to 450° F.

    Lightly coat kale with remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until soft but lightly browned at the edges, about 3 minutes. Cool.

    Combine roasted garlic cloves, vinegar and thyme in a food processor or blender; blend until smooth. Combine dressing, yams, kale and onions in a large bowl; toss to coat.

    Critical Recovery

    Nope this is not some high performance jaw compression sleeve to help my one arm push up (insert laugh here) . I am sporting a sexy ice pack due to my gum surgery yesterday.

    After a few of these gum surgeries + some other life setbacks, I’ve developed a pretty sweet arsenal that gets me to heal faster and quickly feel better. I’ve put them below with exact steps to follow.

    These tools are perfect for days/ times when you FEEL  1. Run down/ low immune  2.mentally and emotionally burned out 3.sluggish and bummed 4.Done in from crappy eating/overindulging out  AND for when you CANNOT Workout 

    I cannot wait for you to tap into these – they help big time!

    1.  Sleep, reduce your work hours (if possible) and follow your Doctor’s orders  THEN

    2. Get lots of greens in you ( See foods below in #4 as well)

    I love these green juices – URBAN REMEDY, Glow(whole foods) and EVOLUTION, Essential Greens .** basically find a green juice that does NOT have fruit in it. We want the lowest sugar (even all natural) possible.  Go for 2 a day on critical care/ low activity days. Before a light breakfast (after coffee) and mid afternoon  (before light dinner)

    3.  Tap into these 5 all natural supplements  to drastically reduce inflammation and help your nervous system.

    1. Arnica tablets – reduces swelling, bruising, joint inflammation.  Follow directions on box
    2. Fungi Perfect MYCO Shield – mushroom supplement that boosts your immune system big time
    3. 5-HTP pills-  Boost serotonin and lift your mood!  You make this naturally. Some of us humans have less. This can be due to genetic mood and emotional disorders or diets low in tryptophan. What you need to know is when you are sick or injured you need more of this. Low 5-HTP makes us feel super bummed out!  This is a serious game changer for me. Try 50 mg daily of  5-HTP (NOW or Stress-Relax are good brands)
    4. GOOD MOOD tincture by Herb Pharm. a mix of Ashwaganda & St. John’s wort. helps your nervous system chill out so you can feel more relaxed (also helps you sleep better *fine to take during the day)
    5. L.B.T capsules – I swear by these. Here’s a fun fact. When you poop less- you feel tired and sad. Ever seen a dog take a big poo?  It dances and trots energetically afterwards – before that it’s all slow and groany.. same with us! Boost your energy and help your immune system with this LOWER BOWEL TONIC all natural supplement from the HERBALIST – CLICK HERE for ingredients and to order  (Pro-tip:  When you lift and move less, you poop less. I take these on my rest days – Sundays and Thursdays- follow the directions)

    4.  Super Healing foods.

    All of this is what I’m tapping into big time the next 5 days. All items are high anti inflammatory (inflammatory= “pisses off the human body”). That is because they are high in Healthy fats, Omega-3’s, fiber, calcium, magnesium, iron and B- Vitamins. They are LOW in protein.  SUPER PRO TIP: you want to lower your protein when you are less active and not using muscle ( I cannot lift for 10 days – YIKES!  – so I am averaging 30 g protein a day)

    ** see me for more guidance on that.  brebrighter@gmail.com ** Also catch my video that goes with this + weekly tips on my Community Support Page CLICK HERE to feel stronger & have easier days

    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”
