Good Morning & Merry Christmas! 🎄

If you're dreading time around others today, I'd like to suggest a different approach.

Maintain two things today:
1) kindness and generosity
2) personal agency and boundaries

Drop everything else, including focusing on the things you can't have. Let other adults take care of themselves, they don't need you to think for them or help them have a good experience. Just gently and lovingly do whatever you want to do within the boundaries of what is possible. Just enjoy the moments - as you. Be really there for this time, in touch with yourself and your values - be who you are, don't be taken by who they might say/think you are.

The hardest part of having a guru, even an amazing guru, is that their thoughts, behaviors, actions and results are theirs.

You're gonna have to get yours to get your results.

That looks like: You have your own mental program as a result of your struggles, not repeating theirs.

Sometimes (less than ever) I eat even when I'm not hungry. I have a price for that:

I must answer the why questions before I eat each serving, and I require a page of notes explaining to myself in detail why I needed/wanted to eat when not hungry before I go to bed that day.

When considering eating or food is available/offered this week:

- Eat it if you are hungry and it sounds good.
- Stop when you've had enough.
- Say "no thank you" if you aren't hungry.
- No need to explain yourself, but if you must, you can just say, "I'm not hungry right now."

suffering is optional and is always the result of wishing reality would be different than it is.

you can let it be as it is & save yourself a lot of trouble.

I still get dressed for a workout and go stand in the gym every morning.

Usually I do something once I get there. And it compounds.

If I just walk out and say not today, the habit of going is still reinforced.

Thinking about problems may be the worst problem of all.

Act.

If "I don't want to" is followed by taking action anyways, you will win.

23/12/2024

Before you take the first bite, pause for 60 seconds and ask yourself 2 things:

Why am I eating?
Why am I eating this?

Take a note of the answers (like on paper).
Don't judge them; just note.
Watch yourself automatically change over time.

Catch it, check it, change it.

I heard this years ago from a therapist, been using it ever since.

Catch: Notice thought like "I can't do this."
Check: ask is that true? if not definitely true, change it
Change: "I'm doing this." (repeat 10x to give it hooks)

what are some choices you made once that defined who you are now & forever?

face your fears again tomorrow.

Keep your promises to yourself at all costs. The pros to doing this are innumerable, but here are a few:

- You become better at honesty.
- Your self-confidence will skyrocket.
- Others will believe you when you say something.

You are weaving together a story.
You are both the author & the protagonist.
Your thoughts are the first draft - choose them wisely.

The things you truly want are not found on social media.

The Golden Rule of Fun:

Things that are Fun are Not Advertised

It's almost late-night snack time.

How can you work with yourself to change up the pattern tonight?

Few ideas:
Try walking instead of snacking - if you still want it after 15 min walk, go for it.
Enjoy a small snack, like

Sugar, Bread, Grains, Candy, Pasta, Soda, Dessert

These are not needed for health.
Resisting these are also not needed for health.

Health looks like:
These things have no special meaning. You can enjoy them occasionally or not, and they aren't your primary emotional support.

Did you overeat today?

Get up, let’s goooo. 💪

How to actually recover from a rough weekend of eating choices. Just finished a quick workout and should have waited a minute until I could breathe/talk to record!

Got a minute?

I'm still very fat. I still hate that I did this to myself. I still love myself and want more life. I neglected myself for years. I'm take care of me. I'm improving. I am growing. I will get fit.

Let’s find time to move on Sunday night.
Let’s find time to move on Sunday night.

I’m tired. I don’t want to do this. But I promised myself, so I might as well do it live too.

On New Year’s resolutions…

Its Christmas. Its also monday morning. So we do monday morning things. #lift

I was tired and didn’t want to lift tonight. Truly an instance of showing up despite how I feel.

On seeing ourselves... What happens when you catch yourself in the mirror? When you first turn the camera on in zoom? For me, it’s never what I expect.

Waking up on Wednesday and taking some time for myself this morning to hit the gym and get ready for a busy day!

10/25 Let’s go 🔥
10/25 Let’s go 🔥

It’s Wednesday, Already. Do something for yourself.
