12 - 5 Minute Mindful Eating Challenge To Help You Develop Better Eating Habits In 2019
Thinking caps on, dudes.

Honestly, how many times last year did you sit down (at a table) with a plate of food and fully engage with it?

No phones, TVs or iPads. Just you and your food.

My guess is not many.

I belive being a little more mindful with our food can serve us all on some level, especially in a world that seems to do its best to steal from us the most precious of moments.

So as the year begins and you're thinking about how you'd like to better operate in 2019, take 5 minutes out your day to tune in and tune out distraction. Dive into this 5 minute mindful eating challenge and see what comes of it.

In this podcast you’ll discover:

-An experiment that will help you create new, healthier eating principles

-How to supercharge the joy you experience when eating

-A simple seven step routine that will help you eat your food mindfully, not mindlessly

-A fun and educational experience you can perform with friends and family over dinner to bring your closer together

-A task that'll unveil how disconnected you've become with our food

6 - Product Vs Process-Take More Action, Boost Motivation/Productivity & Be At Your Best
Thought of the Day Anxiety. Stress. Overwhelm. No Motivation. Feelings we’ve all felt when facing or contemplating a major goal, task or project in life. These feelings can prevent us from taking action. They can prevent us from being and doing our best. However! When thinking of or faced with a goal, task or project, most of us focus on ends. Meaning, we focus on the end product (the result). The huge 15,000 word essay. That talk in front of 250 of your colleagues. The 30lbs of fat you need to lose. Running a 26 mile marathon when you’ve barely ran the length of yourself If we focus on ends we make things difficult for ourselves. First, this product (ends) focused thinking may stop you from doing anything worthwhile at all. And then if you do manage to get started, focusing on the product will burden you further, limiting your ability to enjoy the process and produce the best results you can. An so, in this short Thought Of The Day we explore (with a story) how focusing on the process NOT the product will help you: -Get started -Achieve more -Boost motivation -Improve task/project/goal enjoyment -Optimise your performance to produce your best.
