Happy Health

You know that feeling of complete STRESS when you have a million things to do?   What if you could start getting rid of that?   It's simpler than you think...   Look at what needs to be done.   Most of what you do is actually pretty repetitive.   If you don't believe that, write down what you do everyday and come back to me.   So for the most part, you know what to expect.   Move anything you can to BEFORE it needs to absolutely be completed.   Yes it still takes the SAME amount of time.   But you know what's different?   Your stress level. Your emotions.   Also, when it's go time, odds are something will go wrong, but because you now have LESS things to do in that moment, you can handle it better.   Super simple example....prepping your breakfast the night before.   Same time is spent.   But now when you wake up and your brain is not fully functioning yet and you have a kid that needs help getting ready and your dogs need to be let out etc, guess what?   You won't miss out on breakfast.   By not missing out on breakfast, you won't find yourself stuffing a stale donut in your mouth when you get to the office.   You won't be starving at lunch and grab whatever because you just NEED to eat.   The five minutes you spent the night before will completely change the dynamic of your next time.   Now imagine you did this in more areas?   That's the power in prepping.   Check out my latest episode to hear more ways to utilize this power!

Here's the SIMPLEST way to see why you are getting the result you are getting...

Print out a monthly calendar.

Pick ONE habit to focus on it.

Every day you do that habit put a checkmark for the day.

At the end of the 30 days, look at your result and your frequency of completing your chosen habit.

You will see the pattern.

(This is assuming you are realistic with your habit vs result...topic for a different post!)

Why does this work?

How many times have you had 30 days pass and you think, "Why didn't I get to where I wanted to be?"

You think of the time that went by, the money you spent, the course you signed up for, the coach you hire, etc.

BUT are you ACCURATELY looking at the HABIT necessary to get that result?

It's extremely common to unconsciously overestimate how many times you completed something.

By tracking it with a simple daily checkmark, you can gather true data instead of relying on what you THINK you did.

Test out this VERY simple process. (tomorrow is June 1st...what a perfect time to start!😉)

And listen to my latest episode to go deeper on the topic!

Check out this week's episode!

Stop worrying about the end date.

You set a goal.

And now you allow yourself to become CONSUMED with the end of this goal.

Meaning you can’t wait until it’s over.

You start telling yourself you can't WAIT to go back to your regular scheduled programming.

Let me ask you this...why the heck did you do the goal in the first place?

Was it not because you looked at your habits and the results they were yielding and wanted something different?

So then why allow yourself to focus on going BACK?

In this episode, I go through three mindset shifts to have instead.

You picked the goal for a reason.

You decided to do the hard work with an intention behind it.

And it was NOT so you can just let it all go to waste and continue your old habits after the end date.

Give it a listen and share it with a friend!

Are you bringing all your negative crap with you?

Sure, there were lessons learned, skills acquired, and new knowledge that you will use to get to the next level.

But what about the not so pretty things we don't even like to acknowledge is there?

How is THAT affecting you as you move from one thing to the next?

I can tell you one way....it sometimes leads you to blame the program, the course, the coach, etc INSTEAD of opening up to the possibly that it MIGHT be something you are doing.

In this episode, we get REAL honest about this and how it can affect every area of your life if you allow it to.

Give it a listen and all that I ask is that afterward, you take a moment and get curious about what crap you may be lugging around everywhere!

There aren't shortcuts to a healthy lifestyle.

But there are simple things you may not be doing that can make getting healthier easier.

In this episode, I go through 4 simple things I have implemented in the last few months that have made a huge impact on my results.

They are VERY easy to start doing...so easy, in fact that you may not think they will work for you.

I challenge you to give this episode a listen and pick 1 or more of my ideas to start doing consistently and watch how it impacts your health!

Your lack of organization is most likely affecting your health.

How many supplements have you purchased but now forget to take?

How many times have you bought a bunch of healthy foods that end up going bad because you don't have a plan for how and when to make them into actual meals?

How many things have you bought to help you with your health but after a week, it joins the pile of all the other things you purchased in the past that you aren't using?

ALL of these things are because of a lack of a system and/or plan.

It's not enough to just buy the thing you need....you also need to take the time to set up a plan to execute.

In this episode, I discuss why you don't need the next best thing to be healthier, you just need to get your act together and get organized with what you already have.

How do you know when it's really time to put something to bed or when you should stick it out? There is this stigma around quitting but there are times when it's the right call. For example, I quit being an accountant. I spent time and energy getting a freakin MBA, worked as an intern in accounting throughout school, and spent a few years working as a tax accountant. Then quit it all. And I've NEVER regretted it. On the other hand, I have had a ton of ups and downs in my current business but refuse to quit. What's the difference? I narrowed it down to three simple questions to ask yourself... Are you just uncomfortable? Is what is required to get you where you are wanting to go really pushing you out of your comfort zone and you are just unsure of how to handle that feeling? Do you still want the end result? You started on that path for a reason...do you still want it? Are you just having a bad day/week/month? Basically, are you in your feels? I go much deeper into these questions and how to apply them to your life in this episode. Give it a listen and put pen to paper and ask yourself these questions BEFORE you quit!
