Every habit is made up of smaller habits stacked on top of each other. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is often a set up of other habits which is necessary to build a foundation first before you can consistently perform the habit you actually want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Example: bring lunch to work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sounds simple enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But you have to pack a lunch in order to bring a lunch. If you cannot do that consistently you won't be bring a lunch consistently.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alright, well in order to MAKE lunch, i have to have the food at home... did I go and buy the food already? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I gotta start looking at when I grocery shop, and how i grocery shop. What are my habits around that...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything builds on itself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Episode 36 starts with breaking down what a habit is and how they are formed. Tune in for future episodes as we dive deeper into HOW TO CHANGE HABITS with Dan and Ivana ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So if we change our habit, what happens to the old ones we had?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our habit, or more specifically the neuronal pathway our brain has set, never goes away. The road doesn't get ripped out, you have created a detour around it and are no longer using it anymore, and so it becomes less drive able.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your situation changes, the old cues pop up, the stress increases, life throws us a curve ball, we find ourselves in our environment, that same road can driven down again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why habits are so hard to break.

27/07/2020

Developing a new habit is having to build a brand new road, a beautifully paved road. Many signals and sequences of messages and actions have come together to build this path. Once developed runs very smoothly and automatically. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So to change or make new habits we have to build brand new roads again....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who wants to continue building new roads all the time when you already have one built?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why breaking/making habits can be so hard. Because we have to start again built a detour road.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How are habits formed? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Habits form by a process of trial and error. Our brain is looking head at what is around us, taking all the info it can find, figuring out how to get what we are want taking the path of least resistance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once we find it, it becomes automatic. We don't even think about it anymore.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever wonder why brush your teeth in the sequence you do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why you stack the dishwasher the way you do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why you take a particular route over another?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Habit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why are men so angry?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We think of anger as a primary emotion, but really it's a response to all the emotions we either don't know how to formulate or understand fully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not being vulnerable and letting out emotions can lead to a lot of build up of emotions leading to anger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Episode 35 is a fiery one!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

24/07/2020

Men don't want to talk about the emotional aspect because they don't have the skill. They don't have the allowance of vulnerability because they still have to have the essence of masculinity. It is important to find support to learn these skills.

23/07/2020

Do men obsess over their bodies the way that women do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Men have pressures to look a certain way just as women do, and they have insecurities they just don't talk about it as openly as women do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why is that?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"You can't out train a bad diet". Ever heard that phrase? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to the efforts in dieting, exercising seems far more painful to our body than eating a salad. After a strenuous workout it feels like we must be making big headway! In reality, what we eat has a far bigger impact on weight loss than the exercise we do. How could this be? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our simple equation of Calories In vs Calories Out, on the Calorie in part, all we have is what we eat. On the calorie out part we have everything from exercise, to performing basic functions, to sweating, to breathing...Exercise only makes a dent on the output part for an average person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Exercise has many functions, but when it comes to weight loss, it has a bigger role in weight maintenance than weight loss. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On episode 34 Dan has a Q&A session with Alishba Danish, a medical student, around Obesity, mental health and emotional eating. Find this episode and others on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify (Big Fat Facts Podcast). Leave us a review and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you never miss another episode.

What is the key to losing weight?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first place to check is whether there is a calorie deficit. In order to lose weight there needs to be less calories coming in than there are being spent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Calories IN versus Calories OUT⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This concept is a bit simplified, other factors such as genetics, and metabolic adaptations and so on all get involved to spice up the equation, but at the most basic level, a calorie deficit needs to be present to see some changes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Episode 34: Dan and Alishba have a Q&A session diving further into the topic of Obesity, mental health and emotional eating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is it all just a numbers game?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although a simplified version, the equation of calories in vs calories out contains multiple parts. Our body is quite dynamic and it uses energy is many different ways to keep is functioning in our daily lives. We can manipulate these numbers a bit if we know where we spend energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tune in to episode 34 for a Q&A with Dan and Alishba Danish to find answers to some of these questions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You could have done 9 things right, and messed up 1 thing that is what you will keep focusing on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our mind just gravitates towards remembering the negatives, preparing for the negatives, trying to avoid more negatives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But in order to change anything in our lives for the better we have to train our mind to think differently. To focus on the positives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Practicing daily gratitude one way to start down that path. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We often feel no one can relate to what we are going through, or that no one's story is like ours, but there are common threads in every story and that is what connects us. The more we share our stories to more common ground we find with others.

Temperament is the lens through which we see the world and that doesn't change. This is your initial thought and approach to a situation you are encountering. Our personality is shaped based on our influences, our environment that changes or can change if you want it to. This is how you actually respond to those impressions you have.

Join us for this episode as Kelly, Ivana and Dan talk about the different (mostly the ones pertaining to themselves haha) temperaments and explain more how these parts all play together.

01/07/2020

It is always easy to see what we are contributing more than what everyone else is contributing, and start placing higher values on certain traits or temperaments than others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every temperament has his strengths and weaknesses and they are all important contributors and excel in their own realm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everybody has worth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everybody has substance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to find out what your temperament is copy this link and take the test. It won't take you long.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Kelly shares a story of how he and his wife make macaroni differently, and how because of his dominant temperament he would prefer she did it differently, his way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He has grown to accept over the years, that although things aren't done the way that maybe he would like, the bigger picture is they get to all have dinner together (with the family) and that was more important.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There will be different ways to get to the same place when it comes to a process, and there isn't necessarily one right way. If we let people do what works for them and we all still get to have macaroni in the end that is what really works.

New Episode is available!!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For this weeks Mindful Monday the crew is back to discuss the four temperaments which exist in people and how this plays into our personalities. Temperament is the natural part of our personality which is static, and doesn't change throughout our life. It is the lens through which we see everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Four Temperaments are ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sanguine: Fun loving, outgoing, life of the party optimistic and playful⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Melancholic: organized, detail oriented, accurate, deep thinkers and tend to be great with numbers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phlegmatic: relaxed, likable, low-stress and adaptable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Choleric: born leaders, visionaries, decision makers and are very dominant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all have more than one of these temperaments, one as more dominant and others which are less. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How do you keep your own voice the loudest in your head?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are constantly reminded of how we won't be able to do something, how difficult it will be, sometimes just a plan "NO" to halt us in our tracks. This is challenging enough to face day in and day out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The voice that needs to be the loudest in all this is our own voice in our head. Encouraging us, believing in us, motivating us, picking us up when we get that flicker of doubt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We must work hard to train that voice to nurture us. You already have to fight hard enough for your opportunities, don't let your own voices take opportunities away from you before you even get started.

27/06/2020

What do you do if you don't get support from your family/friends? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We may have the best plans regarding our lives and we feel so excited and motivated and then....we have to tell our family/friends, or they find out and our fire starts to fizzle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Talk to your family/friends and tell them exactly why this is so important to you, why this matters so much. If there still isn't support, you have to forge on even if there isn't the support you hope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember why this is important to YOU and find a way to continue to move towards the version you would like to create of yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Episode 26 is available, check it out!
