Control. Why you need more now & how to find it.

With Covid 19 surrounding us we are truly in crisis mode. Our work spaces have changed, home life’s are more chaotic & we are steeped in uncertainty.

That can really wreck us as humans. It is in our DNA to feel in control, when we don’t, things go downhill fast. We sleep poorly, eat crappy foods & move less.  This is a natural response to feeling like you have less control. You are normal!  You also can fix yourself, instantly.

All you have to do is see that you have 4 tools daily, that you can control. Then use them… take action with each.  First the science, then the tools with clear action steps.

  • SCIENCE Glenn Croston PhD How far we’ll go to feel in control   “A persistent lack of control in a person’s life often leads to depression and anxiety. That makes us feel helpless. Gaining more control of our surroundings, on the other hand, makes us more content and less at risk.  Joseph Hallinan of Pshychology Today “Researchers have documented just how essential a sense of control is for mind and body alike. People who feel in control of their lives are in better health, have faster recovery from illnesses than other people do. They also live longer”

“It’s not the lack of resources, it’s your lack of resourcefulness” Tony Robbins

  • TOOLS  These 4 tools are the things you can control every day to stay healthy, sane & strong.
  1. Feed yourself better Click here for an immune boosting comfort food recipe & guide
  2. Move more daily  Click Here for a free weekly class + support options.
  3. What you listen to Click Here for inspiration that will get you to step up your game, no matter what you are struggling with
  4. Get good sleep  Cool thing is if you do the first 3, you will sleep like a champ. If this is just not working for you Click here for some tips on how to undo shoddy sleep 

Now that you have all these resources, let’s put them into action. Click on each one. Watch, listen, show up with me and keep taking action.

  1. My Facebook Group “Beat Covid/Stay Brighter” Click Here . I’m posting weekly hangouts via Zoom and tips that help us stay calm & healthy!
  2. My spotify playlist – Just search for “Breanne Curran” and find Covid-19. I filled it with tunes that are soothing, hopefull and happy without being cheesy or too peppy:)

Resolutions don’t work

I’ve resisted this fact for years, but it’s totally true. Humans do not accomplish things well when we  go from thoughts to action.

(ex: I wanna lose 10 lbs, so I’ll eat less and go to the gym more)

We start out well, but soon we get distracted, lose motivation…become inconsistent.

Turns out ALL humans do this and there’s new science behind why we have such a hard time achieving goals and breaking old habits.

There are 2 experts in behavior change that bring us the science on what is happening AND teach us what we can do to stop struggling with our goals .

Dr. Jud Brewer and Danielle La Porte

Dr. Jud Brewer – CLICK here is a neuroscientist with an APP (UNWIND) that gets people to break bad habits

Danielle La Porte- CLICK here is a business coach that has online courses and guide books to keep you on track better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the past 8 months, I have been using both Danielle La Porte’s Desire Map planner AND Dr. Jud’s Unwind APP weekly.

I cannot highly enough recommend these. every human that wants to accomplish ANY goal and just FEEL better daily should tap into these.

Dr. Jud Brewer. Doc with THE tool to nail your goals

You know how you have that ONE thing you really want to get done, but you just can’t seem to just do the work you know you need to do? Congrats, you’re human! We all do what we want rather than what we should.

Great news is there’s an APP that gets us to finally stick with doing the work we MUST do to get what we really want.

UNWIND APP, from Psychiatrist & Neuroscientist Jud Brewer.  SCROLL DOWN for link to free 28 day trial.

So you can get a feel for what Dr. Jud is all about Here’s his TED TALK on making changes that stick

 

UNWIND APP click HERE for FREE TRIAL

Here’s a sneak peak of the work he gives in the first module

The Feedback Loop. I detailed the steps below for you (this is a game changer for me!)

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 1: – write out this template

then plug in YOUR STUFF (mine is above)

This is your new habit loop!

What you will do to stop falling into old habits that are holding you back.

 

 

Here’s mine (below)

I’ve been practicing this daily & it’s working!

When I feel overwhelmed. I

1. STOP

2. Step away from my computer and phone

3. Breathe

4. Name it to tame it – SAY what I am feeling

5. Get fresh air  (step away from my workspace) for a minute and let myself FEEL that feeling for 2 mins.

Then I say how I wanna feel (my twist) – ex: “calm, decisive, grateful”

This has helped me move on -I’m more productive and created some online videos that  teach people how to feed themselves better daily. Watch out for that!

I can’t wait for this all to happen. I just gotta keep practicing my new GOOD habit feedback loop!

No GO, Draw out your own Feedback Loop and  get  UNstuck 🙂

Happy New Year, 2020!!

Core Desired Feelings. A better way to get what you want

If you’re someone who loves setting goals, but often you fall short.. guess what – you’re normal!  Danielle La Porte believes we’ve been doing things backwards. Turns out, this whole approach of stating what we want and then taking action does NOT work well for most humans.

La Porte says we’re doing goals all wrong. She should know, she’s one of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 & has been featured in Forbes magazine as one of the top business coaches. Danielle teaches people how to keep ” their souls on the agenda”  I gotta say her ” Desire Map” System works super well. Try these 3 steps below

Don’t think then Act. Feel first, Strategize second THEN  Take Action

“It’s not the particular achievement or getting the thing that’s really driving us.. What we’re going for is the FEELING we want to feel when we get what we want” –  Danielle La Porte

  • Start from your heart.  STOP acting from your head. Going from Thoughts to Actions just doesn’t work.. our heads get in the way.

USE this simple 3 step process

1. Write out your ” Core Desired Feelings”

This is 3-4 words that clearly state how you want to feel at all given moments throughout your day ( Put your Soul on your Agenda!)  Here’s mine:  Released, Beautiful, Content, Present, Prosperous

No matter what I’m doing;  grocery shopping, research, coaching a student, working out, cleaning… I want to feel like I am Listening, Trusting (of myself) Easeful, Truthful, Present & DecisiveEach of these words hold a lot of meaning for me.  Now! Come up with 3-6 of your own

2.  Write them out – Put them in your phone & 4-5 pieces of paper to put all around you- Wallet, glovebox, satchel, fridge door & bathroom mirror.

3.  Put these words to EVERYTHING you do.  How you cook at home, how you show up for work,  how you approach your workout, how you pick out your Netflix shows.

Put your soul on your agenda EVERY DAY = See your CDF’s

Feelings FIRST, Perception SECOND, Thoughts THIRD…

Your feelings determine your perception and THAT drives your thoughts into action!

Now as you step up to that next thing you know you gotta do, but don’t really FEEL like doing – pull out your CDF’s .. will this thing make you feel any of your CDF’s?

  1. 5 min meditation over social media
  2. moving outside over grinding through computer work
  3.  Stopping and listening to a loved one over working on your checklist for the day.

It’s been a total GAME CHANGER for me I’m  more decisive & ease-fully driven. That’s huge.

 Feelings first, THEN strategy. Go from 1. Your Heart (how you feel) THEN 2. Your PERCEPTION (how you want to view things) THEN 3. Your Thoughts  then you take action with that next best step

I hope this helps you and you totally enjoy it.  If you need someone to keep you on track and accountable .. that’s my bag. shoot me a text of email and I’ll keep you going strong!

VIDEO! The #1 tip for a great holiday season

Okay – so I love the holidays, but maaan the social calendar can fill fast!

How do you keep up with all those meetups and parties? I know I can feel like I’m dragging myself from one thing to the next and just trying to keep up with it all.

Do you do that?

STOP! Stick to this simple rule – If it’s not a Hell YES! – It’s a Hell NO!

Face it – no one wants you showing up feeling obligated or exhausted. They invited you because they love the FULL you. So if you can’t bring that/ Can’t show up as your best self- then let them know! I mean they are your people, right?

SO dump the excuses, tell them you’re just not up for it and make a time to meet up some other time!

IF it’s something you KNOW you Really should show up for – and it’s a Hell No- then ask yourself this:  “Will I be better for going to this”

That’s exactly what I had to ask myself tonight before I head out to my divorce support group. It’s rainy, cold and I don’t feel like tlaking about feelings.. but will it make me better – Hell YES it Will! So I’m going.

Take Care;)
