Discover how you want to feel. It’s important. Setting goals without feelings is a sign you are just making a list, another thing to do.

When you know how you want to feel when chasing your goal, it’s easier to make decisions and to be clear as to what is moving you toward the end result and what is moving you away.

Try this bio-hack to identify your primal inclinations. Write down the things you love knowing and doing, those things that you want to learn more about. Read this list often!

Now note down what percentage of your time you spend doing things you hate, things you don’t mind, and things that light your fire!

Percentage of time spent on things that drain me:

Percentage of time spent on things I don’t mind:

Percentage of time spent on things that give me joy, including my primal inclination:

Now your task is to do what it takes to shift your ratio to favour the percentage of time spent on things that up level your world.

Perhaps you need to free up your decision making time to allow for more creative thinking time. This involves finding ways to avoid making constant decisions throughout your days, as this gets exhausting and this leads to rash decision making.

Can you negotiable a way to avoid making daily decisions that add absolutely no value to your life? Can you automate your breakfasts? Choose two or three default healthy breakfasts (I can give you guidance here), choose them for yourself and for your family. Rotate through these breakfast for a week or two or until your get tired of them and then choose another two or three options to again rotate through. Take the stress and time out of deciding and spend this energy on other more satisfying tasks. Consider what other decisions you can automate for yourself and your family.

What’s on your list of “no-thought” default healthy family week-night dinners?

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
