What's the fastest way you can Gain Energy and Lose Weight? Become an Energizer. I'm a little disappointed that "The Bunny" got to the name before I did, but the concept is the same. As I prepare myself and my clients for our 2006 successes, the area of Eating and Energy Mastery continues to show up as VERY IMPORTANT. Below I'll share with you 5 tips for your Eating and Energy and how to become an ENERGIZER but first, we need to address three common issues that come up for every energy-seeker I know. "Your energy zone is equal to your comfort zone." One of the laws of energy is that if you stretch, take risks and be bold in your life your energy will increase. Why? Because doing what you have always done will get you more of what you've got. Are you with me? No? Ok, let me share with you a personal "moment"... My biggest personal breakthrough with my eating and energy was when I first started changing my food. I was overweight, overworked and overwhelmed, but I didn't focus on the overweight first. I wanted to FEEL better. So that is what I set out to do and I was willing to do ANYTHING to make that happen. Guess what? The weight came off, too - but I wasn't focusing on that. I was just feeling so much better! To reach my eating and energy goals, I had to stretch beyond my comfort zone and play REALLY big. By being willing to do things differently (including what I ate, how I ate ..,) I found myself 20+ pounds lighter at the end of one summer and 5 years later in a whole new career and way of being. Going beyond my comfort zone also put me in a place to help my clients in new ways so that they can catapult forward faster (and not make the mistakes I did). It is an energy gain all the way around. It is to the perfected point where I am able to offer streamlined, high energy coaching like the EnergyRICH Boot Camp starting in February. "You attract the amount of energy that your 'container' can hold." Many people walk around with limiting beliefs about eating and energy. So, your energy container becomes very small, like a tiny "to-go" carton. Or worse yet, some people's containers have lots of little holes in it and energy leaks happen all throughout the day. Your energy container must be big enough to allow massive amounts to flow easily in and out while consistently getting "refuled" or else it just stays blocked and change doesn't happen. "Easy IN, easy OUT." Unfortunately many people lose their energy because of poor accountability, lack of systems or lack of understanding what they need to do to make a successful change. We all have an abundant of energy available to us (it is what we are made of), but if there isn't a strong, authentic foundation it will just as easily leave you ... and fast ... like by the end of the day. Mastery is crucial to achieving YOUR RIGHT to high energy, ultimate weight management and feeling free in your body. It isn't just about the information. It is about what you DO WITH IT. One way to start is to model successful (be careful about how you define success, this makes a difference) people, you begin to act and think like an ENERGIZER right away. The magic in modeling is that you will be focused on being and doing the things that are necessary to make the change, not just reading or talking about it. To get started, here are 5 tips to align your mind, your habits and your behaviors NOW with eating and energy mastery. 1. Surround yourself with others who have it (or are getting it.) This shouldn't be brain science; how do you think you will feel if you are with someone who complains all of the time? How about someone who feels the need to criticize? Always likes to eat fast food? Smokes? Tells you "can't do it" or "It's too hard"? Like attracts like ... right? You adapt to the people around you ... their thinking, their beliefs and their attitudes. Energy breeds energy. If you want ENERGIZER results, start hanging out with people who have it or are creating it. Trust me, you will feel the difference. 2. Eat it. No, I don't mean all of the energy drinks or other hype on the market. I mean begin to understand how your food does or does not work for you. How do you eat your food? Fast? Standing up over the sink? What is your food made of? Vitamins? Chemicals? What rewards will your food create for yourself, your family and your world? Being crystal clear about this step will make your eating and energy mean something much bigger than just "what taste good" - it aligns your eating and your energy with your values and this can have just as strong of an effect as calorie counting. Afterall, what you eat makes you who you are. Literally. Oh, and more expensive doesn't equal better for your body. (Stay tuned for next week's "Top Ten Foods for 2006") 3. Conquer your inner eating demons. If you have lingering issues with food, then you must resolve them in order to truly create eating and energy freedom. I highly recommend doing the inner work to know that you deserve to be operating at your best, all of the time. I recommend the EnergyRICH Boot Camp Intensive to help you cut through some of blocks that are keeping you stuck. 4. Have a system to manage it. Energy will go where it is directed - whether that serves you or not. Having proper systems such as blocks of time for self-care, ways to easily prepare good food, time to give to others (not out of obligation, but joy), ways to fuel your passion and people who support you can make a big difference as an ENERGIZER. Stop and think about having everything you desire, but not knowing how to manage it or, worse, still not feeling fulfilled? Not good! 5. Be an Energizer now. What if you just started thinking and behaving like an ENERGIZER would RIGHT NOW? Energizers make healthy decisions, focus their time and enjoy a lifestyle that supports their success. Start acting as-if you are an ENERGIZER now and attract more of that kind of success instantly. I know it works because I've done it. You can start by participating in the FR*E Make-Over Call on Monday January 9th - listen to others as they put themselves out there (or be that person yourself!) to make changes with their eating and energy, NMW (No Matter What). Whether it is your dream to be an ENERGIZER in your life or not, I encourage you to adapt the "food as fuel" mentality. You will notice instantly that you begin to feel different. You will also attract into your life some incredible results, and people will want to know you because you will emanate energy. How does that sound? |
