There are two paths in life: Should and Must. We arrive at this crossroads over and over again. And each time, we get to choose. Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest, most authentic self. It’s our instincts, our cravings and longings, the things and places and ideas we burn for, the intuition that swells up from somewhere deep inside of us. Must is what happens when we stop conforming to other people’s ideals and start connecting to our own. Because when we choose Must, we are no longer looking for inspiration out there.

When life present us people, places and things that promotes fear within us, it's an opportunity to show us where we lack freedom. 

We are in a stage of information overload. Without effective action being taken towards a intentional goal learning information is useless. In this video I discuss simple exercises that you can implement daily. 

What's your motive behind what you want to do ? Motivation is a feeling driven by an ultimate goal. But very often we are present to what are motive is behind the goal and we rely on the feeling to come to move s forward.

This podcast is about negotiating effectively with yourself around your health and fitness goals!  The most important negotiations we have — the ones that determine the quality of our lives and the impact of our actions — are the ones we have with ourselves. Learning to communicate well and to influence other people are essential in life. But even more fundamental to your success is learning to negotiate effectively with yourself.

Storms are the biggest blessing in life.  They come to not only clear our path but to show us what we are made of. There are natures to all the storms we pass through in life.  We sometimes create our own storms or even get caught off guard. Take a listen to how I approach storms and even weather them. 

Telling the truth is hard. Society is largely responsible for creating a false concept of “truth” to begin with and then coercing us into believing it. We learn what’s “good” and what’s “bad,” what’s “right” and what’s “wrong,”and what’s “just” and what’s “unjust” from a very young age. This knowledge becomes engrained and makes up a large part of our perceptions of the world. But not only do we have the power to change that its our responsibility. Don't identify with the lies, the truth will set you free.

Food is the fuel to our bodies. Not a number on the scale not a the size of our pants and not external validation to how we look. It's a feeling of flow and energy. 

The small routines and habits that combine into the overall system of our life is what makes our goals into reality.  Most people start the process of change by thinking about the outcomes they want to accomplish. How much weight do I want to lose? How much money do I want to earn? But I think it is often more useful to focus on the type of person you wish to become: your identity that will have you achieve your desired outcome. The way to change outcomes is to focus on identity changes; so it’s not about eating less, or eating more healthy, as a behavior—but rather that you are now the type of person who eats better.

One of the most important life skills to develop, for those just starting out in life (and everyone else!), is the skill of self-discipline.It’s like a superpower. One of the reasons we don’t have self-discipline is because we run from the hard, uncomfortable things. We would rather do the easy, comfortable, familiar things. One small task at a time, push yourself into discomfort. See how it feels. See that it’s not the end of the world. See that you are awesome enough to handle discomfort, and that the results are well worth it. When you have discipline you can have anything you want!   

We are the creators of what we think and feel; if we can nourish a limiting thought or belief, then we can just as easily do the same for a non-limiting one. If we can build walls in our mind that obstruct our progress, then we can definitely knock them down. Self-doubt is a silent serpent that creeps into the patterns of our thinking and eats away at our self-belief. The miracle and magnitude of our soul does not contain self-doubt. We are the ones that open a door for it to walk through.  

What is Vision\You weren’t born to do everything, but you were born to make an impact in this world. By discovering your vision, you have the extraordinary ability to contribute to this world making it a better place all while living a life of purpose. Vision is the act or power which gives a direction to our life to make our goals and dreams a reality. It is important to have vision and purpose because it helps make our decisions that create our lifestyle. Discovering your vision isn’t that hard. Each of us is put here on earth for a purpose. We want to achieve and accomplish certain things during our lifetime, and for most of us, the passion we feel deep down ignites us and brings our hopes and dreams to the surface. What are you deeply passionate about? What type of work do you find engaging and truly enjoy? If someone were to describe you, what words would you want them to use? At the end of your life, what will be the greatest accomplishment?  

Yo-yo dieting starts when someone restricts calories one-way or another. This includes restricting carbohydrates, fat, bread, gluten, or meat, and the result is usually a few pounds or more lost. Then, because of the extreme calorie restriction, they eventually indulge in whatever it was that was missing from their life, and eat more than they would on a usual day  The guilt from an unsuccessful diet puts an emotional drain on a person and decreases self-esteem. Then, because of the weight gain, they will put themselves back on a “diet”.  The process is up and down with not only weight but also emotions. I have found more success with weight loss clients by avoiding “dieting”. Instead, create a lifestyle plan with a weight loss goal, and more importantly, a goal for a healthier lifestyle that promotes longevity and disease prevention.  It also helps increase mental health by decreasing the emotional drain caused by being “on a diet”.
