Feel Light Mind & Body

037- Summertime, holidays, weddings, parties... how can we enjoy them all without feeling deprived? The old diet mentality would say that either you can't or you can but you'll be cheating and will have to get back on board on Monday.
Are you tired of that yo-yo way of living? Maybe you're like many and have just thrown in the towel for this season and once you get back into your routine you plan on starting again. That's ok but...

Whatever your plan is I encourage you to listen and take away at least one tip to implement. Have fun with it. As you'll hear me say, not one of my Feel Light Mind and Body clients are being 'perfect'. That's overrated and impossible to sustain. It's progress not perfection. My personal goal isn't perfection otherwise I know it would show up as procrastination. It's becoming aware and deciding on purpose.

Your experience and gatherings may be richer when implementing tip #1.
You can have fun, be creative, and be purposeful with tip #2.
Who knows you might be surprised at some belly bloat disappearing as you implement tip #3.
Tip #4 will feel nurturing and empowering.
Tip #5 may surprise you at how much relief it gives you.

If you need a fresh and lighter approach you've found the right podcast! Welcome! Hit that + follow or subscribe so you don't miss anything.  There's some exciting opportunities coming up over the next few months!

035- If you've been thinking, I know better yet I keep returning to my old ways, this is a must-listen. You'll resonate with Wanda as I coach her through her belief that it "has to be hard". You'll hear her shift when offered a lighter, empowering perspective. You may have your own shift simply by listening!

You'll understand why even after learning something new that makes perfect sense to you, you continue the two steps forward and one step back pattern that leads to slowing down your progress or even quitting as discouragement and frustration build up.

I coach clients where they're at and what they're struggling with, or what they wish could be more effective or lasting for them. Keto, plant-based, traditional eating, Weight Watchers, whatever their past and present experience is for weight loss or in general life coaching, it doesn't matter. I can help.

It is rated E because there are a couple of mild words that you might not want children to hear so pop in your earbuds and don't let that deter you. I want my clients to be able to express themselves authentically without having to go into their heads and edit what's coming out. That way it doesn't block the natural flow and they can receive the help and support that they need.  

This will give you a glimpse into what it's like to be supported and guided by a Life Coach.

We talk about Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, a powerful example of quitting "3 feet from gold."
 
We talk about how effective Cognitive Dissonance can be once we flip the old pattern of thinking that's not supporting us.

If you've ever... in Wanda's words, "killed myself all week, weighed in and then had a massive pig out"  you'll also feel relieved and encouraged that it doesn't have to be that way.

Feeling light in your mind and body is at the core of every episode so listen in and then keep listening to the others and feel your hope and drive start to fire up!

034- What have you been wanting to change yet keep putting off or avoiding altogether?  Maybe it's something you've accomplished successfully in the past but you've slowly reverted back to your old patterns and now you're beating yourself up. You're giving yourself a hard time. You're thinking that you should know it by now. You should be farther ahead than where you're at.

What if you said, "That's okay. I can choose again"?
What if you thought of failing as learning?
What lasting result seems to be impossible to maintain long term?
Is it maintaining your ideal, healthy lifestyle and weight?
What is it that seems to be  evading you, that you're putting off?

Let's explore the power in the authentic fails rather than the passive failure of failing ahead of time by not even trying. This will be an empowering game changer. It will feel so much better! When we can feel better during the process we do better.

The fear that's holding you back won't feel so threatening.
You won't have to stay discouraged or frustrated.
The rollercoaster ride of losing weight and then gaining it back again doesn't have to continue.
This applies to any goal in life.

If you were willing to fail again and think of it as learning, could it bring more ease to your life?
 
Would your future self, who has reached the goal, be telling you not to try again because you might experience some 'fails' in the process?
 
Or would she be encouraging you to... "Try one more time. This could be it for you.
This has been your missing piece to your Achieving and Maintaining Success puzzle."

Other empowering takeaways in this episode...

Are you familiar with Brendan Burchard's life categories? I offer you a few thoughts to ponder on which way you want to live.

Discover the power when you realize that fear and excitement are cousin emotions. Learn how you can navigate them to get the result you want.

Join me to crack open the door of what is possible for you in spite of what your mind is currently telling you.

Imagine if you could stop being hard on yourself or making it mean that there's something wrong with you.

You absolutely can! Let's dive in.

032- How many times have you joined a program promoting how to 'melt the pounds off' with a lot of drive and determination?  You felt the hype. You experienced that hit of dopamine (a motivating feel good hormone) from it sounding hardcore.... the challenge of that appealed. That's normal.

You were excited with the rapid results but then started to notice that you were feeling tired, deprived, resentful and then... rebellious. It was only a matter of time before you turned to the familiar food or beverage to get some reprieve from those feelings.

Most of us have been there. It's discouraging and frustrating.
It's a cycle I never want to go back to. That's why I'm here... to help you.

Many of my clients come to me with some shame and blame that they "know better but can't seem to stick to it". They receive love, compassion and truth not judgment.
"This feels so refreshing. What a change in mindset!"

In today's episode you will feel hopeful as you learn how to have a different experience in not only losing weight but also in keeping it off. You can do this from a loving not a being-hard-on-yourself approach.

Let's enjoy life and not give up on our health goals.
Let's do this together the Feel Light Mind & Body way!

031-  Feeling discouraged or frustrated with trying to lose weight or keep it off? Maybe you are thinking of not even trying over the summer or perhaps that is how it's been for awhile?

What have your previous summers or vacations looked like? How did you feel during and then after?

The truth is it does us no good to beat ourselves up or get a righteous justification going for what is now in the past. I've tried doing that and it really has no up-side. lol

The thoughts that keep us spinning or swirling down are usually the negative ones. Research indicates that 80 % of our thoughts are negative and 95% of our thoughts are recycled so no wonder we need to talk today!

Listen in as this mindset is what you need to enjoy this next season in your life while still reaching your goals! You're gonna love the applicable takeaways.

How does that sound? Are you in? Let's go!

#030- Ice cream, Aunt Sue's traditional casserole, a glass of wine... you sub in what you want to enjoy without it turning into an eat everything in sight free-for-all session.

You'll hear tips and questions that will increase your belief that it's possible to enjoy something you really want guilt-free or decide it's not what you want and why.

Either way, life is too short to beat yourself up and keep the yo-yo diet mentality in motion. That's discouraging and heavy.

What if you could make this your most enjoyable summer ever? What if you could do this without food and drinks being the focus? It's so possible and is freeing!

I love food and find pleasure in it. That's ok. Food doesn't have to be for fuel only. What? Yes, you are reading this right. That's not the real problem.

What adds unwanted weight physically and mentally is overdesiring, overpleasuring, and overeating. AND then beating yourself up after and either eating more to feel better or punishing yourself with deprivation.

There's a kinder, more nurturing solution to losing or maintaining weight.

Once you decide on what you really want you can follow through with peace of mind and enjoy every moment without regret or feeling deprived.

Want to get a taste of what this would be like? Listen now.

And if you like this taste then you will LOVE  the full meal deal that is happening next week! Join us! Anonymous but you can ask questions live for me to answer.

029- I had the privilege while visiting my daughter (25 y.o.) of continuing our candid conversation here on the podcast to share with you.

Some topics that flowed were breaking generational patterns, food shaming, exercise versus active living, journaling, parental modelling, perspective versus drama, dealing with stress, scale versus no scale, macros, listening to your body, thoughts and feelings and more.

I encourage you to listen for tips that can help you personally and also help you in modelling for whoever looks up to you.

As you'll hear me say it's never too late to start. You can inspire at any stage or age in life regardless of what it looks like right now.

Often my clients initially feel shame that they haven't modelled healthy habits as much as they have preached it. Hey! You're human. Life happens.

Let any blame or shame go and start with one simple step.

Join us and let's get started!

Next get your simple kickstart with my complimentary 5-part mini video series.

028- "One important thing to know about grief is that it's the natural response to the loss of any THING or anyONE important to us."
 
Tammy Robinson, author of her newest book, Stories of Good Grief  joins me today.

We will all have times of grief and these 5 tips will not only be calming to the mind, heart and body but can also help you avoid going off the rails in eating or drinking.

One of the kindest things you can do for yourself and others is to not judge where you or they fall in the grief cycle and how many times one goes back into one.

Allowing and processing the emotions are so important for your health. Be kind and compassionate.

Becoming aware now of how chronic stress affects your body will help you make better decisions that are in your favour rather than sabotaging what you really want. 

"Grief is one of the hardest things we deal with in life. If we allow it to, it can make us into stronger people."
