⁣ When we embark on our 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦, whatever that change may be, things can be difficult.

An internal boundary is a 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 we set with our self, regarding our own values. What we think is right or wrong; correct or incorrect.

As most of us explore the inner workings of our homes, we are developing a host of new habits, ones that will stay with us for some time.⁣

No one wants to be uncomfortable or feel pain. We all desire those feel good feels. I have several ways I attempt to make my life more acceptable, and methods I use to numb out. My brain just goes on autopilot and a force comes over me. It’s really beautiful how the mind attempts to protect us from hurt and pain. But check this: the exact methods our brain uses to numb out, cause more pain long term — all in an attempt to reduce immediate pain. I don’t know about you, but I’m

“My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes, most of which have never happened.” Mark Twain Do you often predict the worst? You know... act as if you're a fortune teller? One of the best gifts I have ever given myself is working on reducing my negative thought patterns. I was naturally very pessimistic due to my environmental conditioning. You know being surrounded by a bunch of assholes who like to point out everything wrong in life. So my automatic negative thoughts

Stress. It’s killing you… Or so you think… Check this. Stress is caused by giving a fuck. It is caused by something you really care about. If you didn’t care, it would be a non issue. This is a good thing. This is what gives life meaning. If we didn’t care about anything or anyone then what is the point of existence? So I encourage you to change your perception of stress from being something to run from and something that is all ‘bad’ — to one of radical acceptance of what is

It is human nature to judge — this my friends is an undeniable fact. We do this to gauge our own behaviors, assign value, and determine our social status. It's quite the evolutionary advantage to be able to identify humans who are fierce, strong, and healthy. This helps us decide which are the best mates to procreate with. So judgments are indeed a fact of a normal human experience. We have these deep instinctual drives but we have evolved past the need to just survive and ma

Each and every one of my weight loss clients is a fundamentally unique human—that requires a personalized approach. The “one-size-fits-all” strategy that almost every fitness and nutrition guru has been preaching for years, has clearly failed most, if not all of us. The eat less, exercise more bullshit is indeed accurate at a myopic level, but far too simplistic. We are not machines. We have brains, emotions, beliefs, and experiences that shape our outcomes. It is impossible
