Hello Self-made

🕰️⏳ Feeling like there's never enough time to rest? Remember, the time to rest is when we don't think we have time for it! 🛌💤

💆‍♀️ Take a break, recharge your batteries, and you'll come back stronger than ever. Your body and mind deserve it! 💪🧠

🌲Do you spend a lot of time outdoors? A new study shows that spending just 20 minutes in nature can cut your stress-levels, in a BIG WAY! 🧘

🌻This study, which was published in a medical journal called Frontiers in Psychology, looked at exactly how much time you need to be outside to get the biggest stress-relieving bump. 🌵

👍🏻⏳Scientists had people spend 10 minutes or longer outside in public parks or green areas near their work, for 3 days a week over the course of 8 weeks.

🐢The study subjects could walk, sit, or otherwise “engage in nature” but they couldn’t read or be on their phones.

🌳Before and after each of their nature breaks, researchers measured their levels of the stress hormone called cortisol.

🌷The Results: people who spent just 20-30 minutes in nature showed the biggest drop in cortisol rates!

☘The takeaway: the next time you need to take a break or de-stress, try going outside for a little 1-1 time with nature. You’ll probably notice you feel a lot better in just a little time.☘

Are you spending 20 minutes outside at least 3 days a week? Let me know below...

🧘One of my favourite ways to destress! Hugging our cat, Cosmo! (he's super cuddly).

Speaking of which …

✅Did you know that stress can affect you all the way down to your DNA?! It actually can lead to changes that affect how you age.

EEK!

I just sent out an email about this (be sure to follow us for details!).

Basically, stress can shorten the protective caps on your DNA.

Obviously, you can’t escape stress (nor should you even try, because a little stress helps us with personal growth and expanding our boundaries).

💡But managing stress so you can stay ahead of it is always a good idea.

My favourite ways to manage stress are walking, spending time with my kids (ok, that doesn't always work!) or hugging my cat 🐈.

✅How stressed are you right now?

I just had a long chat with a client who is absolutely crushing it and it broke my heart.

Direct quote:

“I want to keep working toward my goals … but I don't feel like I should spend the money on myself, I should spend it on my family or debts”

This feeling is SO COMMON – the mother guilt is real.

You work so hard for your loved ones because their well-being is important to you. It can feel selfish to take time or money for yourself.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 ... 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡.

Why?

👉 Because when you make time to take care of your health and well-being, you are teaching your family members to value theirs.

What a gift. (Especially nowadays!)

And the best part is that you don’t have to spend hours focused on your fitness/health ...

… you can make real progress in less than 2% of your entire week. (That’s just 3 hours a week.)

The key: having a PROVEN PLAN – plus lots of support.

That way there’s no guesswork.

You know exactly what to do and when to do it … and you have accountability so you never feel alone.

But most importantly, you get RESULTS – like more energy, more confidence, more vitality, and you can bring even more “you” to your daily life (and to your family!).

The value? Priceless.

I know this because I’ve watched hundreds of my Mind Body Reset clients (https://bit.ly/mind_body_reset) reach their goals faster and easier – and feel better than they’ve felt in years.

Are you with me in putting yourself first … and not letting what others might think be an EXCUSE for you?

Drop a “heck yes!” below and let me know!

Life at times tosses tests and trials on us from right, left, and center. But if we don’t find effective ways to deal with these shortcomings, the stress ends up causing harm not just to our mental health; but also to our physique.

👉 Before you get to the point of experiencing the effects we’ve listed here, ensure you find healthy ways that will help you cope with stress. You can follow us as well as we post great content that could be insightful through your process👍🏻🙏🏻

There are moments in life that feel like a complete waste, but they can be turned into something productive.
For instance, if you were to ask someone how they would go about turning their life around and getting back on track, one of the first things they might say is "I need to change my mindset".
It's not an easy task but it can be done with some work.
The most important thing is to remember that nobody else has control over your thoughts or feelings - only you!
When trying to find your true purpose, use these 4 fundamentals:
1. Reducing bad habits (such as clinging to people, clinging to negative thoughts, etc.)
2. Reuse things (i.e skills, hobbies, etc.)
3. Restart your goal (is your goal still relevant in your life?
4. Refuel your passion by finding out your definition of happiness

There Are Three Solutions
People often think of a problem as something that can be solved in one way.
But in reality, there are three solutions to every problem: Accept it, Change it or Leave it.
This will help you find an answer more quickly and with less effort!
Here's a pro-tip: Regardless of what problem you have, try to find the path of least resistance towards resolving it.

The biggest goals are achieved one step and one day at a time.
Just know that whatever the endeavor is, it is up to you to decide how to think, where to direct your attention (and energy), and what behaviors to show towards your goal.
It's either "one day" or "day one" - The choice is yours, make the best of it.

Signs You’re Driven By Intrinsic Motivation
Motivation is usually unsustainable due to its dependence on external factors.

However, if your motivation is based on internal things, then it all changes!

Intrinsic motivation is the easiest way to hack your way to discipline and flow.

Here are the 3 signs you’re driven by intrinsic motivation:

1. Doing things out of pure joy!
2. Find meaning in the things you do
3. Doing things because you enjoy seeing the outcome

Feel like you are having too deep of a thought about something negative?

This is called a “Rumination” !

Here are 7 signs of a rumination:

1. Repetitive thoughts
2. No solution in mind
3. Sadness
4. Numbness
5. Self-loathing
6. Excessive talking about a painful topic
7. Concentration problems

Let it go!

For the most part, we tend to live in fear when it comes to exiting our comfort zone.

Unfamiliar things can often look frustrating, impossible, and uncertain.

However, there is a specific state of mind that makes them seem exciting, different, spontaneous, and interesting.

Tap into that!

Don’t burn yourself out to keep someone else warm!

You don’t HAVE TO do it.

Take care of yourself first.

Do you feel like you just can’t refuse people things? Do you maybe even feel guilty when doing so?

Well… Don’t!

Here are adequate responses to say “no” without feeling guilty!

STOP doubting your:

1. Skills
2. Passions
3. Talents

Learn the facts about yourself, share your feelings, celebrate your success and let go of perfectionism.

Last but not least, take failure for what it is and don’t let it bring you down!

According to the glass of water, there are two types of people - Optimists and pessimists.

The optimist sees the glass half full, while the pessimist sees it half empty.

In reality, however … The glass is completely full, but with different things!

Don’t focus on the lacking parts too much!

Affirmations are not just internal dialogues! They are commands for your brain and nervous system.

Repeat it enough times and your brain will start acting like it!

The saying that you have to get out of your comfort zone in order to achieve greater things is a cliche, but it is true!

Look outside of the comfort zone, act there and that same zone that’s holding you back will expand into new, exciting experiences, skills, and knowledge.

OH dear!

One word that comes to my mind when I hear “huevos rancheros” is YUM.

This recipe delivers on that and more – it’s easy and takes just a few minutes to make.

Plus it’s REALLY GOOD FOR YOU. Double win.

This recipe makes a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Healthy Huevos Rancheros
(serves 4)

● 1 15.5-oz (425 g) can black beans, drained and rinsed
● ¼ cup (60 ml) warm water
● 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
● 4 large eggs
● 4 small white corn tortillas, warmed
● ½ cup (55 g) of your favorite salsa
● ½ cup (120 g) crumbled feta cheese
● ¼ cup (10 grams) chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
● Dash of hot sauce (optional)

In a skillet over medium-low heat, stir together the black beans and water, and heat through until warm (you also can warm them in a microwave in a covered dish for 90 secs to 2 mins).

While the beans are warming, heat the oil in a skillet and fry the eggs sunny-side up, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds in the microwave.

Place each tortilla on a separate plate. Equally divide the beans, then top with a fried egg, some salsa and cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro (coriander) and optional hot sauce, and serve with any remaining salsa.

I’m officially drooling.

Enjoy! 🍳

The small things you do every day have a MUCH bigger impact on your quality of life than the big things you do once in a while.

I always liked the saying, “Rough seas make good sailors.”

Remember: Challenges make us stronger and give us an opportunity to achieve great things. They are your chance to rise to the occasion!

Another Friday rolls around, I've hope you've had an amazing week 😘

🤔🤷‍♀️Q: Do I have to get up early to have a healthier morning routine?

✅A: In a word, NO!

You only have to get up early enough to allow yourself time for the things that are important for you, in order to start your day off right.

⏰Over the past few years I’ve seen “perfect morning routines” online that would take hours to get through. Plus, they are virtually impossible for anyone with family responsibilities.

There’s a much better approach to a long, drawn-out morning routine.

🌞Just get up early enough so that you can get through all of the things you need to do in the morning …. but don’t feel RUSHED.

👍And bonus tip- spend a few minutes at night doing whatever you can to make tomorrow morning even easier.

And if you want to super-charge your mornings by creating your own PERFECT morning routine …

I created a brand new FREE workbook to show you how I do it. If you want a copy, just comment “workbook” below and I will send it your way 👇👇
