Think of a battery and within the big battery you have to charge and not always think of it as will power but more like skill power.
Emotional, mental and physical
Within the battery; emotional, mental and physical areas need to be recharged and need to be aware that when you use one area a lot, you drain other areas without realising.
EG: High pressure business people focus on charging up their mental battery whilst the physical and emotional batteries are being drained.
While you are draining your physical battery by staying up late at night, living on coffee, poor diet to keep the mental battery going.
Draining your emotional battery with relationships, not having a meaningful job/purpose.
Draining your mental battery by having situations that are taxing on the brain and taking on too much.
Ways to work on this is to have a score 1 – 10 thinking about which battery you drain to charge another one up?
Concern: Mental battery drains and you create bad eating habits.
Solutions : Spending time with others, time out in nature, with pets, or reading a book or a massage.
Think about how you can charge up will power by working on your skill power battery.
Concern : Emotional drains mental and physical battery, affects your work ability, sleep, and you do not feel like exercising.
Focus : to charge your physical battery you need to pull from emotional (life) and mental (work). When you are not balanced, your physical suffers as well.
Check all 3 areas
1. 1-10
2. Find weakest one
3. Find strategy – strongest one, take some of that and use it in other areas.
EG: instead of 7 workouts, do 3-4, spend time in recovery having a massage, yoga, float tank, sauna etc.
Do a bit more work, so you’re not stressing out about work as well, pull energy out of physical battery.
Physical battery matters Sleep. Eat. Charge to top will help others lift their mood and concentrate. Minimal effort to get the best result. This will also help so you do not overeat.
HOW TO PLAN:
All about me:
Filter your own information, don’t get caught up in everyone else’s journey and plans. Master your own pan, what’s best for you in your situation.
Fat loss foods:
There are NO fat loss properties – it’s all clickbait!
All foods have calories and if you eat too much you will store them. Even broccoli, but you’ll never over eat broccoli, or chicken breast as certain foods that balance your hunger, stabilize your energy and reduce cravings. Some are nice and some are not.
Eat foods that are fat loss (wholefoods), foods that you like, and don’t eat Brussel sprouts if you don’t like them. This will cause you to eat other foods that increase your calories way too much.
Efficient exercise:
Weight training, endurance, CrossFit, sprints, yoga – it’s about what you enjoy doing so you do enough of it.
If you sign up to a style of training you don’t really enjoy, how long do you think you’ll last doing it. If you think you have to run to be fit, this is misinformation, you can become fit and active with weight training, cycling, swimming, yoga or walking etc, because it’s what you enjoy and you do often. Movement of any kind is good for us and a variety is well rewarded – don’t fall into a certain stigma.
Lifestyle:
Morning/evening, lots of meals/not many meals, keto/paleo, some people fast/some eat more.
There is NOT ONE way to burn fat, it’s how to respond to your life.
Fat loss anywhere:
Not all about organic/wild caught products, about if Splenda is poisoning you or if you drink alcohol.
Think more in the mindset of not having it all the time, try more often than not, have the alcohol now and again, try more wholefoods in your diet. You can eat out – so long as you manage it.
As soon as you are told what you can or can’t have, for many they would relate to that unease, like we experienced by having a ‘lockdown’ in the covid times. It places you into a different mindset and it doesn’t always work well.
You are unique.
Have a flexible plan, based on your HEC (hunger, energy levels, cravings).
Whatever is not working, look at your lifestyle, which batteries need charging, what YOU like and do.
CHANGE FOR YOU, YOUR WAY.
