As humans, we are motivated by pain and pleasure. We move toward pleasure and away from pain. What if you started manipulating what you link pain and pleasure to so that you increase your motivation and desire to make choices that will get you closer toward your goal, and lessen your desire to make poor choices.

In this podcast you'll learn how to do just that!

To your success,
Tanja

I'm excited to announce a few changes to the podcast: and why I'm making them.

Let’s talk about weight, and that darn number on the scale. Perhaps you have a love/ hate relationship with it. Maybe it keeps you accountable to your fitness and nutrition, and you don’t attach emotion to it. Maybe you never weigh yourself (or never weigh yourself when you’re ‘off track’). Maybe you weigh yourself 10 times a day. Maybe that number in the morning impacts your entire day.

The scale is one tool, just like a kitchen knife is a tool. You can use the kitchen knife to prepare a wonderful meal, or you could seriously harm someone. It’s neither good nor bad, but it DOES have limitations. In this article, I’m going to go over some of the limitations of the scale and what you can do instead.

I often write about fitness, and nutrition. But living a full, vibrant life is more than exercise and macronutrients. It starts in the mind.

Some days are easy. You’re on fire. Focused. Productive. Energetic and happy.

And some days, are, well, not.

You probably already know what I mean when I say ‘feeling blah’ or ‘in a funk’. If you’re unfamiliar with ‘blah’, then lucky you. Here’s how I describe it: you feel down, a bit ‘off’, unmotivated, uninspired, generally dissatisfied, and you can’t pinpoint why. Your dog didn’t die. You didn’t just have a fight with your spouse. In fact, externally, things can seem pretty good and there’s much to be grateful for. Despite knowing all this, you simply feel, well ‘blah’, and you can’t quite shake it off. 

I spent the better part of the today (the day I’m writing this article) feeling just that way. On the bright side, it inspired me to write this article.

I have learned, through personal and professional experience, however, how to create a shift. I did it this afternoon, and I’d like to share it with you.
