Lean With Plants

Hey and Happy New Year!

If you've been a long time listener of this podcast you will know I love James Clear and his book 'Atomic Habits'. It's been my bible of habit change for such a long time now.
James Clear suggests that the most effective way to create lasting change and form new habits is to shift our identity and focus on becoming the type of person who embodies the habits we want to cultivate, as apposed to focusing on outcomes.

Lately I've realized I have been extremely focused on outcome goals and whilst thinking about my new year goals I've decided that I need to be OK with being mediocre, so I can do less but achieve more.
In this episode I'll be discussing 5 reasons mediocrity can help combat perfectionism and why setting mediocre goals for myself is helping me to fight all or nothing thinking and behavior and help me achieve success.

This week I'm going to discuss how to create a system that helps develop discipline in your food choices. I’ll be explaining the 6 key things you can start today to help you develop more discipline and consistency over time.
Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, stay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you're feeling, physically or emotionally. Instead of thinking 'I am the problem’ or ‘ I have no self control' you need to start working on your system. Your system is SO important to your long term success.

Lets get into myth busting! There's so much information out there when it comes to health and wellness that it can get very confusing for us to understand. Many views are polarising, blown out of proportion, misunderstood and yet so many studies seem to back up every single opinion so you end up not being sure what to believe.
This week I will be breaking down and discussing the 5 most common health and wellness myths that I hear on a daily basis when it comes to weight loss that I feel need putting to bed once and for all.

Some of these myths include, that you need large amounts of protein,  it's much harder to lose weight as you age, carbohydrates make you fat, fat makes you fat and willpower is the most important factor for weight loss.

This week we're talking about mindset, particularly challenging your thoughts by using positive affirmations and mantras. I'll dive deep in to how our default thought patterns and internal dialogue can sometimes be very negative. I hope this episode will give you some hope to believe change is possible, because even though we may not have control over the thoughts our brains are telling us, we can have 100%  control and influence on how we respond them.

If you want to lose weight,  you may be wondering how much you should be exercising and what exercises you need to do to lose weight.
Losing weight is all about being in calorie deficit, so it's understandable you think you need to exercise to lose weight as you'll burn more calories right? Whilst there is some truth to that it's more complex than you might think. There's a lot to unpack this week,  so in this episode I'll be discussing what effect exercise has on your ability to lose weight, what exercises to do and most importantly when is the right time to include it.

This week I thought I'd talk you about how to get comfortable, with being uncomfortable.
Embracing discomfort definitely won't be pleasant but it's necessary if you want to experience personal growth.
The thing is If you always stay in your comfort zone and avoid situations where you might fail or be uncomfortable, then there is little way for you to grow as an individual.
A quote which I love and I have hanging on my wall is " fail faster" because it reminds me everyday that instead of striving to be perfect, to fail fast and often because you can achieve so much more by just getting started, giving it ago, being okay with failure and being uncomfortable.

In this episode I share 4 key ways I keep going when my goals feel so far away! I talk a lot about not being perfect and why it's important to fail faster but this week I want to get a little more personal. The crux of it is; We don’t want to put our lives on hold until we reach a certain goal, because life is happening NOW, and the future is never a given. It's so important to focus on the present and put values, before beauty.
I'll be talking about why this matters so much to me and how I create meaning in today.
You can work towards being an improved version of yourself, but ultimately to keep yourself going it boils down to having contentment, joy and appreciation for today.
We have to start living and be grateful for today before it’s too late.

Harness the power of gateway habits to boost your consistency with less effort.

🎉 Win a goodie bag starter kit and a scholarship to the Lean with Plants program! 🎉

Challenge runs from Friday the 5th ➡️ Monday 8th August 2022 (CST)

My definition of “gateway habits” are small, easy habits that have a HUGE knock on affect to other behaviour.

They’re like gateway drugs. Once you start, the harder stuff is the next step (although unlike taking drugs gateway habits make way for POSITIVE behaviour!!)
