Perfectionist eating GET YOUR FREEBIE HERE: https://bit.ly/cravingsheet As a thank you for listening I created a freebie for you One thing almost everyone I talk to struggles with is eating things you don't actually want to eat. You feel like the day is going great and then bam, breakroom cookies pop up. Or it's 3pm and you are crushing chips and queso before they have to pick up the kids from school. OR you feel super out of control around tempting foods, or don't realize they were eating until the entire bag of chips is gone. You think you are the problem, we need more willpower or to be more strict, but none of that actually works. So i created a worksheet to help you not only prepare for the unexpected moments like the breakroom cookies, but feel in control during even those times you haven't been able to get in control of for years. GET YOUR FREEBIE HERE: https://bit.ly/cravingsheet I am sitting here eating lunch and I realized my lunch is kind of gross! I packed it myself but like it is seriously not a proud moment So I thought I would pop in and talk about perfectionist eating If you want to live your life and weigh what you want…eating like a perfectionist will not get you there Perfectionist eating is an extension of all or nothing thinking I either eat perfect Or i eat everything When you can't eat perfectly you say F it and just eat all the things And how often are you able to have complete control and eat perfectly? Look at the scale and it will tell you how often. If you don't weight what you want, then never. In order to drop the perfectionist eating and consequently the overeating you must: Make a plan Making decisions ahead of time allows you to plan to be messy, not perfect and have indulgences The goal of this plan isn't to punish yourself if you aren't perfect and don't follow it but to show you the areas where your brain really wants to eat so you can work on that with my next tip Manage your brain around wanting to eat off the plan Breathing Practice practice practice

LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON 2024 - Week 13 - Deep Breathing We are officially in spring. Yay! And there's still a lot going on in the world. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to really have to remind myself to stop and take deep breaths during the day even more. One of my practices is to have my phone alarm at different times during the day. I change the word alarm to an affirmation or something I want to be reminded of, like take 5 deep breaths. I call this my Affirmation Alarm Practice. My alarm at 1:11 PM is All is Well with high-fives emojis and hearts. At 4:44pm the alarm prompts me to Take. Deep. Breaths. The 10:30 PM alarm is Thank You for This Day with emojis as well. Emojis remind me to be less serious… Yes, I have to be reminded of this often. lol After over 25 years meditating daily, practice is what it's all about. It's also the little things like connecting with your breath and your body and finding moments of beauty and presence. Did you know that taking a few deep breaths during the day regularly helps reduce stress and overwhelm? You probably know what's next. Lol. Yep, it's time to practice. The excerpt from my book/e-book/audiobook Why Struggle? life is too tight to wear tight shoes is the Deep Breathing Practice. Deep Breathing Practice Sit comfortably with your back straight if possible. Gently close your eyes and begin to become aware of your breath. Simply breathe in and breathe out. Pay attention to your breath as you breathe in and out and allow your body to settle into this practice. Just breathe in and breathe out. Place your hands on your stomach as you continue to breathe. On your next in breath take a deep breath in while pressing your belly out as if you are trying to push your belly button out as far as you can. On your next exhale, press your belly button back into place. Continue pressing out your belly button on your exhale and pressing your belly button back into place on the inhale. Once you are comfortable with this belly breathing begin counting to 3 on the in breath as you expand your stomach. Hold your breath for a count of 3, then contract your stomach for the count of 3. You should feel more air moving through your body. Continue breathing deeply for up to ten minutes. When you are ready to return to the present moment, open your eyes and allow your breath to return to normal.Continue using this deep breathing technique during your day or whenever you want a reminder to be in the present moment. This deep breathing is also very helpful to reduce stress or anxiety. Purpose: Reminder to be present.

In January, you often hear about the aspirational pledges. No shopping. No drinking alcohol. Go vegan or as close to it as you can get. My year round goal is to get folks at a basic level to take time to breath. Slow it down. Chill as in being quiet. Not as in ice baths. Me in a former incarnation; "Nuts to you, I breath all of the time. I still have symptoms." Future me: "Yeah, you dope. You also drink six cans of Coke or Dr. Pepper a day. Your diet is atrocious (but very tasty) and your rocking at best five hours of sleep a night. Fortunately, former me studied at the school of hard knocks that the body need clean fuel, time to regenerate and making time on the daily to slow it down and practice breathing. And yes, give up the carbonation with the caffeine chaser. So in this episode, if you happen to have a fidget spinner or fidget ring then dig it out and try this breathing practice. If you don't have one, no worries you can do it with a pebble, pen or pencil or small palm sized object.

All the Links - linktr.ee/barbarafaison (2024) - Week 2 - Breathing Practice It's winter y'all and I really get into nerd mode at this time of the year. I enjoy reading and learning and resting. Right now I'm listening to the audio program, Unlock Your Wise and Mindful Brain on the Insight Timer app. As a premium member you get access to thousands of courses, including mine and I love learning, so there you have it. In the audio course, Dr. Karolien Notebaert, shares scientific proof that mindfulness is beneficial and essential for our well-being. In fact, she says as a scientist she really didn't believe mindfulness meditation was beneficial until she tried it. And now it is one of the things she highly recommends to manage stress and to help with brain function. Did you know that mindfulness can be practiced for 5 to 10 minutes a day to help you relax, increase your self-awareness, and calm your nervous system. I'm coming up on a birthday on the 22nd and giving myself permission to rest during the winter months even more than before. I mean, after all, that's what the winter is for. Deep rest. I mean before you know it, it'll be spring and I'll be out and about. Lol. Fun fact, I'm dictating the first draft of this newsletter into my phone while lying in bed, listening to the rain. The excerpt from my excerpt from my book/eBook/audiobook, Why Struggle? Life is too short to wear tight shoe is the breathing practice. For this practice, you may be seated or lie down, and it'll only take two or three minutes. Feel free to pause this until you're ready to start. Let's begin. Breathing Practice Sit comfortably with your back straight if possible.Close your eyes and begin to become aware of yourbreath.Simply breathe in and breathe out.Pay attention to your breath as you breathe in and out. Just breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out.Feel the air moving through your nose and through your chest. Just breathe in and breathe out.Continue breathing and being aware of your breath and use this breathing technique throughout your day.Try this practice for 5 minutes a day. End of excerpt.

Discover the power of breathwork to center yourself, relieve stress, and determine what self-care activities to prioritize. Annual Exam Results Update – Ray shares his journey through the intricacies of our healthcare system, unpacking the story behind some of his biomarkers that are out of range and the steps that are being taken to normalize them. He reminds us of the importance of taking proactive steps to enhance our quality of life is our responsibility, not our healthcare system. Reflecting on October WHOOP Data – Ray dives deep into the data from his October WHOOP Monthly Performance Assessment. He shares the activities that boosted his sleep performance and the significance of making consistent micro-improvements for an elevated quality of life.

A ten-minute fully guided breathing practice that is designed to promote relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. In this calming episode, we will embark on a guided breath practice specifically designed to promote deep relaxation. Harnessing the power of the breath, we tap into our body's innate ability to calm itself by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the "rest and digest" system. By following along with the gentle cues and rhythmic patterns provided, you will learn to shift your nervous system from a state of alertness or stress (sympathetic mode) to one of relaxation and rejuvenation (parasympathetic mode). Ideal for moments of stress, insomnia, or simply when seeking a mindful break, this practice serves as a powerful tool for holistic well-being. So find a comfortable spot, plug in your earphones, and allow the transformative power of breath to work its magic. Remember, for those genuinely interested in experiencing the benefits, it's essential to practice regularly and ensure you're in a safe environment where you can relax without distractions. *Remember* this may not be easy to do straight away and particularly in the last round, you may find it challenging to keep up with the chimes. Try to persevere. They are set to provide you with a five-second inhale and a ten-second exhale for ten rounds. So we're breathing out for twice as long as long as we're breathing in. www.shonavertue.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevertuepodcast/message
On the latest Patrick Jones Baseball podcast, my guest is Ryan Atkinson, current pitching coordinator at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, owner of Performance House, and former MiLB pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. Ryan went from undrafted out of the University of Cincinnati, got a real job working at a hospital for 12 months, and then decided to try out for an independent team. He made the Independent Team Evansville Otters, and less than two weeks later, the Arizona Diamondbacks signed him as a free agent. Ryan massively improved his Fastball command in a 2-year window. In his last season at the University of Cincinnati, he walked 45 batters in 71 innings. In his first full season of professional baseball, he had 60 BBs in 141 innings. The reason: Fastball command We discuss how to improve a pitcher's command, what Ryan changed over that 2 year time period, and the importance of discipline and hard work over a long period of time.Timestamps for Ryan Atkinson [3:39] Game Changer [5:28] Getting Confidence [7:33] Mental Side of the Game [12:13] Breathing Practice [15:05] Mechanical Changes from College to Pro-ball [17:37] Learning [20:03] Released Early[23:13] Regrets and Retirement[29:02] Surprises from a Coaches Stand Point [31:45] Bio-Mechanics [35:05] Structuring the Process [40:37] Time Frame[46:32] VisionFollow Ryan Atkinson on Twitter: @OldSport_34Ryan's gym in KentuckyFollow Ryan on InstagramPatrick Jones Baseball:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pjonesbaseballTwitter: https://twitter.com/pjonesbaseballFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pjonesbaseballLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-jones-b388a484/Website: https://patrickjonesbaseball.comNewsletter: https://www.patrickjonesbaseball.com/blog Hosted on Acast.
