ONE KILLER TIP TO START SELF-CARE

ONE KILLER TIP TO START SELF-CARE
          SELF-CARE? WHAT?? WHY??

We hear a lot about self-care these days...but why? How???

I've been studying human instinct for several years now & I'm constantly fascinated by the instincts of our human brain. It's the most amazing thing. 

One of the instincts I've been thinking about lately is the compulsion we have to put ourselves at the end of our to-do lists. 

We so often feel driven to do, do, do, be busy, be busy, be busy taking care of work, things, others etc (none of this is bad or wrong). 

What ends up looking like, though, is we don't pay attention to ourselves, our brains, our hearts, our emotions, our spirits OR our bodies & we put ourselves at the end of the list. 

Then we get out of touch with what our body & soul really need. 

This is totally what I did a few years back that had me gain 65 lbs. I was in a continuous state of being busy & doing "stuff" that "seemed" important but I wasn't taking time to really analyze if all that stuff & all those things were REALLY WHAT WAS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME. 

I wasn't aware that a lot of it wasn't & I wasn't aware WHAT A TOLL THAT REALLY HAD ON MY BODY & SOUL.

IT WAS WHEN I FOUND COACHING & HEALING COACHING THAT THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE.

I started to learn that it was crucial to put myself at the top of the to-do list because if I didn't, I was a pile of exhausted hot mess on the floor when I didn't-and nobody including myself, wanted to be around that. 

Can you relate? 

It was when I started to learn about the CRITICAL importance of giving myself some love, attention, and care, that things really started to change for me. 

I know we hear it a lot, self-care, gotta do it. 

But do we really know why, do we really know how? 

You don't have to figure it out alone. 

QUICK TIP: Start by making a list of your top 3 priorities & then ask yourself, is my day in alignment with that? 

If not, ask yourself why...why is a healing question when we let it be!! 

I hesitated to share this picture because it's out of my comfort zone, but you know what, I'm really proud of all my work & accomplishment. 

I love what I got to learn in this process. 

Giving myself, some love, care & attention has paid off AND IT'S BLESSED THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE TOO.

I show up as the best version of Candy when I take care of me & this is what they love & this is what I love to be & give. WIN-WIN. P.S. I LOVE PINK.

How to Stop the Lies Your Brain Tells You About Weight-Loss

I've always been the type of gal who likes to do well at things. I didn't always have to get an A++, but I'm not going to lie, I did try and I like to work hard, I like to be successful and I have picked up on a lot of things in life sorta quickly, not all, but many. This is a pattern I've noticed about myself...I like to excel and I like to excel quickly. When something takes me longer than my instinctive brain thinks it should take me to excel, the more survival parts of my brain throw a bit of a tantrum and start to make me feel like, well, that I suck. Do you notice this in yourself? You love to do well. You love to be on your A-game. You love to succeed quickly? You do really well in so many areas of your life and when you don't do well quickly in an area of your life, your brain shames you or isn't very nice to you? If so, you just may be human. Has this happened to you with weight-loss? You're successful in so many areas of

3 TOP TIPS TO BREAK THROUGH WEIGHT-LOSS PLATEAUS

We all come to times in our weight-loss journey that we "plateau" & it seems like the scale has "stopped moving". This can feel confusing & or frustrating...but it doesn't have to. There can be many things involved when we plateau. I'm going to share the top 3 "PLATEAU PROBLEMS" I see with my clients & that I saw in my own journey. #1 PLATEAU PROBLEM: YOUR SELF-DOUBT THOUGHTS: We stopped believing weight-loss was possible. WE LOST SIGHT OF THE BALL. We got caught up in self-doubt, the old thought patterns crept in like: "This never worked before, this isn't going to work now." or "Oh man, I just fell off the wagon, I might as well eat all weekend & start on Monday".        ...or different flavors of these thoughts. WHAT TO DO INSTEAD:  **GET YOUR EYE BACK ON THE BALL. REFOCUS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE-DON'T FOCUS ON THE PAST. **THERE IS NO WAGON TO FALL OFF

EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA AROUND FOOD IS LIKE AN MMA FIGHT INSIDE YOUR BRAIN WITH ITSELF.

Hello beautiful friends!!! Has your brain been occupied by "emotional brain drama" around food or anything else in your life this week?  The arguments, the negotiations in your head.... EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA IS LIKE AN MMA FIGHT  INSIDE YOUR BRAIN WITH ITSELF.  IT'S ESSENTIALLY LETTING THE SURVIVAL PART OF YOUR BRAIN RUN THE SHOW INTO A SPIRAL OF SELF-DEFEATING RESULTS.  THAT PART OF YOUR BRAIN IS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT SURVIVAL & CREATES LOTS OF TENSION IN YOUR BODY & EMOTIONALLY HIJACKS YOUR ACCESS TO RATIONAL THOUGHT IN THE PRE-FRONTAL CORTEX. WHEN YOU ARE FEELING TENSION IN YOUR BODY, THAT'S A CLUE THAT THE SURVIVAL BRAIN IS HEADING UP THE SHOW. This is important to know because:  EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA SUCKS ALL OUR MENTAL & THEN PHYSICAL ENERGY UP...AND EXHAUSTS US. AND MY FRIENDS, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!! THIS IS WHAT EMOTIONAL BRAIN DRAMA CAN SOUND LIKE: "I shouldn't have said that to that person, s
