Let’s imagine for a second that you’re training someone at work. They’re brand new and it’s your job to show them the ropes.
Immediately they start peppering you with questions like:
“Hey, when do you think I’ll be eligible for a promotion?”
“So, uh, how long do you think it will take for me to get that promotion?”
“How much money will I make if I can get your job?”
If you didn’t roll your eyes, you’d probably be thinking (or saying), “Dude. Slow your roll. The only thing that matters is that you master your job NOW. That you do your best NOW. That you do the work that is in front of you right now…If you do that well, the promotion will take care of itself”
Patience, right? You gotta do the work. If you focus on doing the work, you don’t have to worry about the promotion or the speed of advancement. If you’re too busy thinking about where you want to go, you’re missing out on the opportunity to master where you’re at right now. And THAT is what is required to get where you want to go.
Invest in the process, not the outcome.
That, my friends, is the one thing you’ll need for fat loss. Patience.
Dude, slow your roll. The only thing that matters is that you master what you’re working on NOW. That you make good choices TODAY. That you practice consistency TODAY.
Stop worrying about how quickly you can lose 10 lbs or how you’ll handle that party next weekend.
Handle THIS moment. Do your best RIGHT NOW.
Focus on doing the work. That’s the one thing you’ll need for fat loss that you probably don’t have. Patience.
Yay! Another Random Show where I’m answering your questions! Today we’ve got some great ones including how to deal with holiday stress, how to know if your hormones are balanced, objections to tracking and common big rocks to help you find yours!
If you have a question or topic you’d like me to tackle on the podcast, please let me know!
I love Random Shows! We’re answering your questions on a wide variety of topics! On today’s show we’ll tackle the following questions:
How can we deal with holiday stress?
“My question has to do with this time of year and feeling so overwhelmed with so much extra that goes on, (e.g. holiday parties, Christmas preparation, busy time at work) . I’m trying to plan and prepare as much ahead of time as possible while also trying to focus on getting more sleep (I typically only get 6 – 6 ½ hrs per night). These feel like competing priorities. It would be great if you could talk about strategies for either doing it all/being more efficient or letting some things go without feeling guilt and if you are going to focus your efforts on just the biggest rocks, how do you determine which are most important?”
You talk about “big rocks” along one’s fat loss journey. Can you give some examples of common big rocks?
How do I know if my hormones are balanced?
I had asked you all for your objections to tracking and you gave them to me! Today I’m taking them on!
This one is kind of a no brainer, huh? A list of 8 foods that help you burn fat and how they help! Well, in fairness, some of these are ingredients, but still. And they all have something in common: they work to improve the body’s responsiveness to insulin.
In today’s episode we’ll talk about how these foods & ingredients help with fat loss, where you can get them and why these mechanisms are so powerful.
Plus, I’m also going to give you access to a totally free 28-pg guide to the most effective fat loss strategies! It’s usually $97 but between now (December 3rd 2015) and December 31st, you can get it totally free!
Fat loss is all about hormone balance. Got hormone balance? Fat loss will be allowed. Don’t have hormone balance? Fat burning not possible. You might burn muscle, you might lower your metabolic rate, but you won’t burn fat.
The #1 influencer of our hormones is the foods we eat.
The hormone we REALLY want to balance for fat loss? Insulin. We absolutely need to be responsive to insulin if we want to lose fat and keep it off. The 8 foods & ingredients today help with either insulin responsiveness or glucose metabolism.
8 Foods That Help You Burn Fat
Ok, in fairness, some of these are “ingredients”, but in today’s episode we talk in detail about what they are, how they help and how you can incorporate them into your diet!
Let’s make the most of the rest of 2015, okay? I am certain that if you follow a few of these strategies, you can drop 1 size in 30 days. That’s not crazy diet talk. It’s just possible. The problem isn’t that we don’t know what will lead to fat loss, it’s that we struggle to consistently implement it. Oftentimes we do too much. We create these busy, detailed plans and then we get lost in the details. Today I simplify it for you!
