If you don’t really resonate with the widespread message of “positive vibes only,” that’s totally normal! Not everyone has that kind of personality, and you actually don’t have to force yourself to think that way in order to get the same results. A simple technique that I apply when going through difficult times or dealing with people I don’t like – to be able to approach them in a “happy” way– is to think of how much worse the situation could be. For example, if you’re waiting in a line, and a baby is crying next to you, and you’re already late for work, then imagine if, on top of that, you also needed to pee, and you were very hungry, and you had to be standing on crutches due to an injury. Do you see what I mean? Things can always be way worse than they actually are. Imagining these worse scenarios keeps me calm in any difficult situation.

“Don’t use APOLOGIES as substitutes for doing the actual work. If you’re going to apologize follow it up with a concrete plan of how you are going to change or do better, and then stick to that plan. Don’t try do too much at once otherwise you will burnout and give up. Small steps & accountability are key!. “ -Dr. Caroline Leaf

LARGER THAN LIFE GOALS

I highly recommend that you have a goal that can change, grow, or even become a lifestyle. Try not to limit your goal to a certain time frame either. I don't want you to experience the same thing as many Olympic athletes who win a gold medal, become kings of the world for a few minutes, and afterward don't know what else to do with their lives and end up falling into a deep depression. It’s better to have something that you can always be working towards.

It's also important for you to understand how the mind works. The mind tends to forecast scenarios that are often never going to happen. So many of our intuitions about happiness are simply wrong, and achieving a goal doesn't necessarily represent the key to happiness. Instead, you should work on pursuing happiness every day of your life. It's been proven that the happiness that a gold medal brings an athlete lasts only for a few months, which is kind of sad to realize, considering many years athletes train for it to happen. We're also mistaken when we predict how badly we're going to feel if we ​don't​ ​achieve​ our goals. That sadness won't last forever because our brain has the ability to adapt and move on.

Motivación!

Seeing other people achieve their goals won’t keep you motivated. Maybe it’s a reason to start working on your own goal, but you have to keep your motivation high on a daily basis. A way to help you do this is to constantly try new activities that are related to your goal. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon, then one day, instead of running as you always do, try taking a spinning class with party music in a place you’ve never been before. This works because your brain loves novelty. When something new, interesting, and potentially pleasurable or rewarding comes along, it triggers the release of neurochemicals, including dopamine. Dopamine helps you get motivated, plan, and prioritize. It also helps you form new memories and create new habits. You should also make sure you stay focused. Give yourself at least 15 minutes every day to check in by asking: How am I doing? Am I really working on my goal or am I living on automatic mode? If you don’t give yourself this time, life will eventually force you to do it. One day you may wake up with a massive, tangled ball and you’ll have to analyze what you have done and what you have to do next.

You won't be able to achieve your goal if you focus all of your energy on it. There are another thousand small details that you have to work on as well. These details will help you join all the big pieces and create the structure that’ll keep your goal standing up straight. Olympic figure ice-skaters exemplify this: they spend half of their time skating and the other half working on their leg strength, balance, flexibility, and ​mo​tor coordination. All of these exercises make them perform better on the ice. Additionally, once a person is a good ice skater, skiing also becomes easy for them because these sports have many things in common. So I highly recommend that you make a list of all of your skills and find out which skills can be linked together, even if they seem to be completely different. Perhaps you’re a great closet organizer? I'm pretty sure that you can then be in charge of other people's agendas, as both activities are order-related. And don’t worry if you feel that you don’t have many skills: about a third of a person's strengths are innate, while the other two-thirds can be developed over time. Work on the skills that you don’t feel so confident about and reach that great goal of yours!

Right now there is a big hype in “different nutrients in isolation like vitamin D, C, zinc, and others, especially in the form of dietary supplements, I don't want us to forget one big principle of wellness - that of FOOD FIRST.

You can be taking all the dietary supplements out there, but if you don't have the nutritional resilience from a healthy foundational eating plan, a dietary supplement is like a drop in the ocean of your being. Don’t forget about the concept of FOOD DIVERSITY. Most people, tend to eat the same thing over and over again, which is not the best for the immune system. Some ways to increase plant/nature diversity:

* Include spices in cooking and meal preparation; diversity doesn't mean more food, it means less of more species of plants

* Rotate foods every 3-4 days

* Aim for at least 3-4 plant foods in a meal, with a goal of 50 unique plant foods in a week

* Try a new plant food every week

* Make a smoothie with several plant (powders, extracts, etc.)

* Rotate plant fibers

* Rotate dietary supplements with the help of your health professional

* Drink herbal teas”

A TU CEREBRO NO LE GUSTA CAMBIAR

Breaking news: YOUR BRAIN HATES CHANGE

To your brain, almost any change you want to make is interpreted as a potential risk-emotionally, financially, physically, mentally, socially. Setting goals isn't hard. Achieving them is hard, because as far as your brain is concerned, radical change is a potential threat. Willpower, decision making, emotional regulation, task performances take so much energy from us. For example if all day you are working, having meetings, driving around you have drain your brain about decisions so when you arrive home and have to make a decision about what to eat your brain will choose pizza or some other junk food, because your brain can no longer make decisions.

You have to take “eating” out of the realm of choices and willpower. You need to asume that you are not gonna have willpower to make a good choice and you need to find a hack.

And the hack is -Automaticity- is having habits that are so ingrained that they are not happening in the realm of choice and willpower, they are happenings as automatic sequences, like brushing your teeth; you can do that if you are under stress, if you are tired, if you were driving all day, so eating healthy has to turn automatic.

Also is always important to address the emotional part of losing weight. Why do you really want to loose weight? if you haven't solve the underneath reason you won't be able to achieve that goal in particular.

A balanced diet gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly. Without balanced nutrition, your body is more prone to having cravings, disease, infection, fatigue, and low performance. Your daily calories should come from: fresh vegetables, clean protein, healthy fats, nuts & seeds, legumes, fruits, whole grains (in that order of importance). In this link you can find core food plans (there is also a vegan and vegetarian core food plan option) to make your life easier and don't miss a food group or over eat another. Its also important to eat very varied, so you get as many nutrients as possible.

1200 to 1400 calories per day - diet to follow when you wanna loose a little bit of weight, or when you do almost none physical activity.

1400 to 1800 calories - diet for people with daily physical activity

1800 to 2200 calories - diet for people with an intense physical activity

***This are general guides, the best is to get a personalized diet with a nutritionist.

I don't think anyone should be worried about the calories but instead they should be focusing on the nutrients, and the quality of the foods they are eating.

If you are interested, you will do what’s convenient and what is easy. You will come up with stories and excuses of why you can’t. You will allow your past or present circumstances to control what you think and do. If you are interested, you won’t be willing to go through the discomfort of change yourself -because change is absolutely required if you are serious about breaking free from your current beliefs, habits and results.

If, however, YOU ARE COMMITED, then you will do whatever it takes. You will take action in spite of your doubts and fears. You will upgrade your knowledge, your skills, and your belief system of what is possible for you to achieve. You will choose to let go of anything that is holding you back.

So, are you interested or are you commited? 🤔

[mariavidelinc]

[mariavidelinc]

Self-reflective questions such as:

What do I think, feel, or do now?

What is the goal here?

What is truly important to me?

👉Start by writing our your goals, HANDWRITING!👈

Take action daily based on what you need to do. Focus on your goals 💪

Anything important you want to accomplish in life requires sustained focus.

The crash diet, the quick fix- they are just bursts of short-lived energy. They are only sprints, while reaching your goals requires the mental fitness of a marathoner.

⭐️YOU NEED SUSTAINED ACTION TO SUCCEED⭐️

If you are gonna look back it must be just to learn from it, don’t judge your past, it doesn’t exist anymore.
