3 steps to create lasting change

I totally used to judge Tony Robbins for being sales-y, way too optimistic. But then something made me listen to this episode .

I first listened to “How To Breakthrough To Success” 10 years ago, Nov 2016.  By October of 2017 I had left my dead end 10 year marriage, moved back to the city I love, started earning more money, reconnected with friends and got myself a kick ass therapist.  Three months later, February 2018, I started dating a cute guy I now call my husband. Ten years later and I am amazed at how far I’ve come and all I needed was a mindset shift + this  formula. 

No, this 39 minute episode did not make all that happen.

Listening to it at least 30 times in a year did get me to  pull on my big girl pants, get over my own doubts and distractions. Tony Robbins taught me all I needed was a different mental “state” to get over my “story” and work my “strategy”.

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.

Okay, so I’ve been on a chocolate kick. Honestly I’ve always loved chocolate but this year I’ve really been digging the stuff.

Most likely it’s due to stress and massive life changes.  My husband and I  left our jobs and life in Seattle to focus on family and grow our own businesses. I immediately sought out my old comforts; yoga studio, juice bar, park for my dog, great coffee shop, bookstore and my daily chocolate! 

Chocolate is a such a comfort, right?! (check out science at end of this post on why it keeps us calm and happy)

Good thing I found a way to get my chocolate fix without getting chocolate wasted and packing on a muffin top!

It’s all thanks to Nib Mor, this sweet company (pun intended) that lets me indulge without undoing my workouts. (In fact it’s helped me workout better!)

Nib Mor is the chocolate brand that lets you “indulge mindfully” . This company knows how to stay healthy and happy, that’s exactly how they began.

 

In fact the founder herself created this sweet solution after looking for ways to get more healthy and happy in her own life life.Ya gotta hear

this story of how Heather K. Terry went from Broadway actress to health focused chocolatier! She for sure gets life changes + a need for healthy chocolate:)

She even wrote a book about her journey; From Broadway to Wall Street, Cautionary Tales of an Unlikely Entrepreneur. 

 

 

 

Nib Mor makes it totally possible for us busy, health seekers to indulge and enjoy while staying lean, strong and happy!

I got Nib Mor’s Melissa DeStefano, to join me for this podcast episode. She’s got the goods on why we can totally enjoy their stuff and not undo our green smoothies and workouts that day.

If you’ve got a picky body, this is like turning a knife in you.  Yeah, you’d love one… but OY,Vey! The aftermath. Not just the bloated belly and wanting to take a nap, but possibly revenge from your GI tract and a decent self mental lashing.

Having a picky body bites. My body hates dairy, wheat and most grains. That means no pastries or desserts. Yeah, this isn’t a huge deal, but man, it would be so nice to not spend hours making my own healthy options. Not to mention, I would love to actually eat a burger with a bun attached.

Why are all the easy to grab foods, so bad for us! Good things some awesome companies are turning this around for us

Evergreens. Your best salad made in no time

Okay, so we know we gotta eat healthy.

But it’s hard on the go- right? When you’re navigating your busy day it’s much easier to grab something from a coffee shop or quickie mart. It’s done and ready to go, no waiting.  I totally get that!

While those fill our hangry bodies, we pay the price later.  That gassy belly, bloat, the crash that gets you nodding off at your keyboard and of course our overall health. There’s simply nothing good in most quick grab foods. You work hard for your body and deserve great stuff!

Stuff that keeps you doing more, so you can be better. Ya’ know what does that?

High quality vegetables, proteins and healthy fats.

NEW Podcast! Mēle. The #1 most quick and easy way to eat healthy today.

[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5358046/height/0/width/0/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/” height=”” width=””]

“I mean, I am BUSY!”

I heard this from at least 20 different clients last week. And they are right!

They are authors, professors, public speakers, parents, community leaders… basically great people doing kick ass stuff daily. Of course all that ass kicking work, means sometimes they forget about themselves.

That’s why I yelled “YESS!” at my iPhone (startling the couple next to me at my favorite coffee shop)

Buried in Instagram, I had just found the answer to my clients’ (and my own) biggest daily struggle. How to get healthy foods in their busy bodies, without slowing them down.

It’s called mēle. It’s pronounced MEAL and basically it’s a super healthy meal on the go. It’s so on the go, you don’t need to sit down, use utensils or even chew.

It’s a meal replacement shake chock full of all the great stuff humans need to stay healthy, especially High Performing, Uber Busy Humans!

As a Nutrition Specialist, Health Coach and Personal Trainer I’d love it if we could all sit down to a beautiful salmon and veg scramble after our morning workout OR take a leisurely lunch at the park with an awesome salad brimming with beets, arugula, spinach, avocado and turkey.

But let’s get real! That’s sooo not gonna happen.

You’ve got stuff to do, lots of it!  Work, deadlines, errands, sprint to school pick up, walk the dog, pay the bills, get that thing fixed on your car, return those emails, make that flight, show up for tonight’s event, find clean underwear and socks for tomorrow, buy laundry detergent- screw that just buy new socks and underwear… you don’t have time to do laundry!

So how the heck do you get those healthy meals in you, without totally falling behind in your day.

That’s the exact problem this busy New York Couple struggled with AND found a jaw dropping solution; mēle THE portable meal with all the healthy stuff you need without packing in the scary stuff that screws up your health.

Say hello to Lauren and Adam Benbassat.

Two people who know what it’s like to maybe grab breakfast at your coffee stop, skip lunch (to meet that deadline ,  fit in a workout (if you’re lucky) then totally crash and burn with hangry cravings at the end of the day.

They set out to solve this. After hundreds of kitchen experiments and some pretty crazy combinations they found the answer. Try not to shout “YESS!” at your smart phone as you hear all about their brilliant creation, mēle

I can’t wait for you to hear

  • Why you can totally trust their healthy ingredients
  • How mēle fills you up and boosts mental focus
  • How you get primo quality protein,veg & healthy fats (hello antioxidants & Omega 3’s) in less than a minute
  • Why you can say sayonara to coffee shop pastries and “meh” lunches that waste time and energy.
  • How to take this anywhere with you. Travel, gym bag, conferences. No refrigeration required.
  • How Adam and Lauren use their powers for good. High Five to giving back to hungry people in need.
  • How you can get way more done, stay healthy and look fabulous:)

So, if you’re juggling more fires than Kerry Washington (Scandal)  talking fast and making people walk with you just to get in a conversation. Stop the madness! Let’s face it no one looks that good while living off wine and popcorn.

Just plug in your headphones, hit play and get the goods.

How to make the best salad that you can’t wait to eat.

Okay!  So of course I love salad’s.

It’s what healthy people eat, right?! We need those bowls of nutrient packed veg to keep us lean, healthy and strong.

But they can get boring. Maaaan I hear that!

So how the heck do we keep salad’s exciting AND make sure we’re getting what we really need?

As busy people we gotta

  1. Hold ourselves over for at least 4 hours
  2. Get in those super powerful nutrients to stay on top of our game
  3. Feel good.. no gas or wanting to take a nap after
  4. Feed our hungry muscles
  5. Actually enjoy it – so we keep eating them and enjoy our salad moments.

Rather than make you do a bunch of reading, I set you up with a handy podcast episode. This way you peel yourself from your computer, take a stroll, get some chores done or learn something great while you sit in traffic:)

So go ahead and treat your ears to how to make the best salad.  OH!  Stay tuned…
