“Choosing Habits (That Grow Energy)”

Habits will determine your destiny and this is how…

What you habitually do you don’t need to think about, it becomes an unconscious act.

So then, when you’re doing that unconsciously without thought, it becomes much quicker and you start to do that thing more and more.

So you can train yourself to do anything; you can train yourself to be politer, you can train yourself to be rude, you can train yourself to swear.

You can train yourself to achieve anything you want to achieve.

Taking this into a health perspective; If you were to take a journal (or even use the notes in your phone) and write down all the habits you have.

What I suggest is you do this in the LENS acronym that I use so Lifestyle, Exercise, Nutrition and Supplementation.

Now write down all the habits that you have in those areas, all your lifestyle habits. For instance, Lifestyle – ‘I sleep 7-9 hours every night’. Exercise – ‘I work out 40 minutes at least 4 times a week’. Nutrition – ‘I don’t eat bad fats’. Supplementation – ‘I take my omega supplements every day’.

 

Whatever your habit is, write it down.

Because firstly we need to become aware of it and if we need to change it. Maybe we don’t, it might be a great habit that is serving us well.

So we keep it and maybe even expand it. But first of all we need to become aware of it.

 

Next step is to share them…

You might think it’s a good habit but when you share it with someone else they might say It’s terrible and make you realise a habit you previously thought is positive, is actually damaging. Share it, because you might have a blind spot.

Once you’ve shared them, do they match? If they match, perfect. Can we expand them, can we do them more often in the day, can we make them more habitual and more powerful?

If they don’t, what can we switch them with? So let’s get some ideas down. You might want to write down some good habits that you can have. EG. ‘Make sure I get at least 2 grams of protein per KG body weight per day’.

So make it a habit. Once you make a habit it becomes habitual, it becomes a ritual, it becomes without thought, it becomes useful to you.

 

Most importantly it saves you time an energy.

The time and energy it takes to process a decision. You just react, choose, speak, move or do exactly what you’ve set as a habit – which obviously serves you well and those around you.

“ENERGY Exercise (Not What you THINK)”

So, there’s certain ways we can change our states. And why do we want to change our state? …because we want to be in control of our state. Because that has an impact over the results we get. Why do we want to control the results we get? …because then we can get more of exactly what we want !

 

We need to be grateful for everything we have whilst we work on everything we want.

And how do we get more access to the power or the energy that gets us more things we want?

 

Well this is one way. It’s actually the third way in the step sequence so how do you set your state? 1. Physiology (body/posture). 2. Focus (thoughts). 3. Language (words).

 

I’m going to talk you through an exercise, a language exercise that can take you 1 minute. Take your hands out, bring them together and rub them, then push your thumb into the middle of your palm; just push, just activate the center of your palm, do this for each hand.

 

Rub them together again, and I want you to hold your hands out as if you’re holding a ball in between them (palms facing each other).

 

Now you’re just going to stretch that out a little bit by increasing the distance between your hands, keep the connection between the hands and then just bring the hands back together a little bit.

 

Can you feel something? Some people are more sensitive than others. Pull them away they might feel a little bit attracted to each other, push them together you might feel there’s a little bit of resistance or like there’s actually something between your hands.

 

Now notice your hands. Feel about the same? Same weight, Same temperature? Roughly the same, right?.

 

So now what I want you to do is take one hand up to your face and we’re going to go negative first. So what I want you to say Is ‘hate, hate, hate’ about 10 ten times to the palm of your hand.

 

Now take the other hand and say ‘happy, happy, happy’ again about 10 times.

 

Then hold your hands out in front of your palms facing up, compare how they feel. Notice a difference? Maybe in temperature, weight, size etc.

 

I’ll give you a jist of what happened for me; the hand that was negative was much heavier and actually felt warmer and the positive hand for me felt lighter and maybe a bit cooler.

 

What does that mean?

 

It means the language you use can energise you (make you lighter and cooler) or it can make you feel heavy, and that goes on in your head ALL DAY LONG (whether you’re aware of it or not).

 

So the language you’re saying to yourself, you feel it as well. It has an impact on you (and your life)

 

So try it out with different words, if you feel ‘hate’ and ‘happy’ don’t work for you because everyone has different relationships with different words. The negative words generally feel more heavier, feel a bit slower, might feel hotter or colder depends on your relationship to the word.

 

Now, if you’re doing that inside your head (because we don’t speak all these things out loud obviously). Words do have so much power. And that’s affecting your state… which in turn is affecting and influencing your results.

 

This is a very simple easy exercise, an energy exercise… It can dramatically impact and affect your energy levels, your brain power, your effectiveness and the results you get – let this continue out across your life for the rest of the day, try it out.

 

Just be aware of the words you use. Are they more positive or are they more negative?

 

Do you have 60% positive and 40% negative? Or the other way around. Could you improve that slightly? If you did, what would that do to your energy and your body? What would that do to the way you view life?

 

BIG IMPACT !

“Energy Energy Energy! (or lethargy?)”

Today I went to a funeral, and it was absolutely so sad. My oldest friend’s mother, but that’s a story for another time, what I want to share today is this…

At the end of the ceremony we went for something to eat and there weren’t many options where we were so I had to choose wisely because I’m very strict about what I eat, particularly at the moment.

 

So, say you go to a workman’s café for example, or just a café that doesn’t really sell the greatest of food… What should you choose if you want to retain your hard earned well deserved health, vitality & energy levels?

 

The people I was with (family and friends), they chose certain things and I chose certain things. Now straight after they had eaten what came over them? Tiredness, lethargy and some of them felt that pretty much straight away.

 

Myself? I was actually boosted up and had energy for hours later… especially when they were dozing off and I was rolling around with my son playing with him and just really wanted to inject some love and fun into my day.

 

Point being, the story is what you choose to eat is essential and this is linked to the number one thing I’ve learnt this year – Only Allow Quality Fats into Your Body.

 

For instance, my Mum was saying ‘oh I’ve had grilled bacon and I’ve had eggs’ which is not so bad. But the devil is in the detail. For my eggs I ask for no oil and to put them on the hot plate or poach them.

 

So my mum had them fried, (most likely in vegetable oil) and she felt tired afterwards, and she said ‘oh but they were eggs that isn’t that bad’ but they were deep fried in, we actually don’t know what oil but I guess it wasn’t virgin olive oil or butter or virgin coconut oil.

 

So what did I have? What was the good choice?

 

I made sure that there was no oil added, I did ask them what butter they used so I didn’t get any of that because it was margarine (which is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to butter). I had bacon on the griddle (maybe not the wisest choice but one of the only better choices) I had eggs on the griddle, grilled tomato’s, a few mushrooms and a salad. And that did me. I was good, my energy was good and it was a good food choice in a damaging situation.

 

It’s down to your choice. Do you want more energy? Do you want more vitality? It really does matter, one meal can make all the difference and it can dip your energy.

 

Or do you want to be vital? Do you want to feel full of energy and feel great and just have better conversations and enjoy yourself more?

 

If I said to you, I’ll give you this fried chicken or I’ll give you this cigarette what would you choose?

 

You probably think ‘well I’ll eat the fried chicken it’s not going to be that bad’. But actually the studies show that fried chicken will cause more damage for longer periods of time than smoking that cigarette!!. And who wants to smoke a cigarette these days, really? Not a good idea. And the fried chicken is a worse idea!

 

So think about that. It’s like a bruise. If I kicked you in the shin right now and you bruised, no matter what you did, no matter how good you ate, no matter how early you went to bed, it wouldn’t heal straight away. It would take time for that bruise to go away. That’s exactly the same as what you do when you make a bad food choice.

 

Keep the bad fats out. Any fats that are deep-fried or de-natured in any way. Keep away from vegetable oils. Look at the food you’re eating, if it has omega 6’s in it, if it has any other fats in it than the top 6 don’t eat it.

 

It’s that simple. Police that like your life depended on it. Because it does.

First the quality of your life. Then your actual life expectancy.

“ Do You Want an ENERGY Breakthrough? ”

Think about this…

If you’re around the same age as me, when you were in school, there was a big fear around fossil fuels.

‘They’re going to run out, were not going to be able to fuel our cars, fuel our homes, fuel our cities, the world’s going to come to an end’.

It was real, it was really happening. It was a fact and there was no way of getting away from it.

 

So right now, the state of your mind, the state of your body, the state of your finances – that seems real as well…

But the same as fossil fuels, in a moment, that can change. No matter how solid, no matter how real, no matter how apparent something appears to be; It can change.

 

That’s where opportunity for a breakthrough comes in. Because energy is not scarce. We were led to believe that back in the day (or maybe that’s all we knew) but we just had a lack of information.

Fact is that energy is not scarce.

 

2016 was the first year that our renewable energy sources out-preformed our conventional energy fuels. So we had more energy coming from renewable energy in 2016, think solar power, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal – that’s the first time that has happened in history. So fossil fuels and oil are on their way out!

 

So change can happen fast, in a moment. When you discover something that can cause a breakthrough for your energy, that’s when you can get the breakthrough for your physique, for your emotions, for your financial state – any area of your life. Because energy is what and where, it’s all about.

“The person that can generate & sustain the highest energy for the longest period of time will win”

 

If you’d like a breakthrough in your energy levels that can Simply Radically Effectively impact your entire life in a positive way then contact me today & let me know in a short sentence what would be a MASSIVE BREAKTHROUGH for you.

I may make you an offer you cant refuse (or I may not). The only way to find out is have a simple & quick conversation with me – What have you got to gain?

“Are you Tense Right This Minute?”

Are you feeling stressed right now? Let me give you a quick tip…

There’s an old Chinese proverb that says;

‘Tension is who you think you should be, and relaxation is who you are’

Join Me for daily FB Live ‘Mental & Physical Strength Coaching – Click here & set FB Live to notify you when I go live.

 

So what I’ve noticed is, for instance, when someone loses a loved one; they think that the more stress, the more distress and the more sadness that they show – the more love that they are expressing.

When really I don’t think that’s true. The person who has passed away would not want you to be suffering and would not want you to be sad for so long.

 

So, holding on to a stress, being aware of how stressed we are. How stressed are you right now? Are you holding tension in an area of your body or in your head or anywhere? Where are you holding it…

 

Tension is who you think you should be, relaxation is who you really are. How do we get into that point of relaxation? The best way is: breathing. And here is where I want you to focus the breath.

 

If you try and meditate, if you try and ‘Brain Train’, if you try and use your breath to relax, if you’re focusing on the moving breaths; that’s not quite going to work.

We need to focus on stillness. Where is the stillness in your breath?

It’s in between the inhalation and the exhalation. That’s where the focus goes, or where your mind clears.

So breathe in & hold at the top of the breath. Pause there for a few seconds. Allow your mind to clear. Then when you’re ready breathe out. When you have fully exhaled, pause for a few seconds. When you’re ready to breathe in (wait till you feel the desire the inhalation will be more fulfilling) breathe in… & repeat.

 

For a few seconds, maybe you can elongate that to 30 seconds. But start with 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 seconds. Do that, practice it, it will help you to de-stress and clear your mind. Try that now.

 

Slow down. Come to a pause, in-between the inhalation and the exhalation. This will help to decrease the stress in your body & become a part of your life.

“Your Brain, Pain & Energy”

I was listening to professor Timothy Noakes who has led exercise science for 20+ maybe even 30+ years now and is a big proponent of low carb, high fat diets.

What I’m going to talk about here is the brain. Timothy actually explains that the main limiting factor within your results (using physical activity as the example) is not exhaustion or decrease in energy, but rather the brain being the limiting factor in order to protect the body.

For an insight into where you should LENS your efforts for maximum energy & results complete this 4 minute questionnaire for a personalised coaching report: https://goo.gl/hyUp7t

 

What they found through testing over 30 years is that you can find two people with exactly the same VO2 Max (that’s usually the limiting factor that will tell you someone’s performance) and you will get one that can run a marathon in 2 hours 20 minutes and the other can run it in 3 hours.

 

Some people experience these illusions of pain in the muscle or pain in the joint, as blocking you to protect you. So the brain is blocking you from continuing the race.

 

As long as we know this information we know that we can keep going, and get a better experience from it and even learn more.

 

He’s wrote several books, one of them is the law of running and another is real meal revolution. He’s run 71 marathons and ultra marathons (ultra marathons are 50 miles!)

 

The point being in this one is that your brain again is the limiting factor. I keep going back to this because if 80% of your results is psychology, 20% is mechanics and there’s a lot of evidence that points to that being the truth then where should we focus most of our efforts? On the brain.

 

We can work on our brain, work on our emotions and work on our energy levels but where does our energy come from? I had this conversation earlier, does it come from food, does it come from oxygen does It come from sleep?

 

I propose something to you that energy comes from movement, the more you move the more energy you get. Have you noticed that when you’re really active and you’re doing things the more energy you’ve got and you can keep going? When you’re more lethargic and you’ve allowed yourself to be a little bit lazy you can’t be bothered to do anything. This is clear that much of something brings more.

 

Timothy Noakes said that your brain is a limiting factor, but when we know this if it’s fear or if it’s actually pain from exercise, we know that the brain may be bringing up that illusion just to try and protect us and if we can go through that we can actually extend, and get our results that we desire a little bit sooner than we thought rather than being stopped by these illusions.

‘6 MUST KNOW’S’ : How to Choose Your Omega Fish Oil Supplement

1. Does your oil contain Omega 6 ?

You don’t need any more. Your Omega fish oil supplement should not contain any Omega 6.

Om6 is pro-inflammatory (promotes it) & it is highly likely you already have enough of it in your blood.

Main sources of Om6 are :

• cereals
• durum wheat
• whole-grain breads
• vegetable oils (present in most processed foods)
• flax/linseed oil
• rapeseed or canola oil
• soybean oil
• corn oil

NOTE: Do not ingest any more Omega 6

 

2. Should it contain more EPA or DHA ?

Both EPA & DHA are amazingly good for you. Studies in fact show that DHA has even more health benefits than EPA.

Particularly for your brain & eyes.

NOTE: You want a supplement higher in DHA to EPA.

 

3. Capsules or Liquid?

You want your oil to be in a liquid form. Why? One reason is it will be purer & gone through less handling.

The second reason is that in the heating of the capsules in order to seal them a portion of the DHA is lost to the heat. The more heat process the oil is put through the less fresh it will be.

As mentioned you want as much DHA to remain as possible.

NOTE: Make sure your oil is in liquid form

 

4. How pure is your oil ?

All oils in the UK must pass stringent tests to be fit for human consumption. The industry standard in Scandinavia (where the best fish comes from) is the TOTOX Value.

Totox stands for total oxidation & assures that the oil is pure & fresh. Basically how many toxins are in the oil & how quickly is it ageing.

Clearly you want the purest oil with as little toxins present as possible & you want it to be fresh.

TIP: The more fishy smelling an oil becomes the less fresh it is.

In the Uk all oils must score 10 or below on the Totox Value. This should be public information but not all companies release this information easily. (I wonder why?)

The lower the score on the Totox the cleaner, purer & fresher the oil.

It is fit for human consumption if you see on the shelves in the Uk but the closer to 10 on the Totox score the less pure it is.

I think of it like this: a drop of arsenic each day wont kill me but it certainly isn’t doing me any good. Combine that with all the other toxins coming in & over the years of accumulation it could become a problem…. The purer the better.

NOTE: Only use the lowest scoring oil from the Totox Test. If a company wont tell you that information DON’T TAKE THEIR OIL.

 

5. How much should a quality oil cost ?

For a decent oil expect to invest £30-£40 per bottle.

This is one area where a little extra is worth it. You could choose to save a pound or two per month but be wasting your money if its optimal health, vitality & wellness you are in search of.

There are some excellent oils out there for around £1 per day – what is your health & happiness worth to you ?

NOTE: £1 per day could save you many aches, pains & potential risk to diseases especially as you age.

 

6. How do I know I need it & how much should I take ?

Most people take Omega supplements blind: They don’t know their Omega status & don’t know if the product is doing them more harm than good AND if the product is doing anything at all !

There are some extremely simple ways to test your Omega status these days & combine that with the other facts above you will know exactly how much you need & for how long.

NOTE: Get the simple cost effective test & correct your Omega levels asap. Your health, energy & performance could depend on it.

 

To conclude…

If you were to prioritise your budget to ‘which supplement will give me the most bang for my buck?’ then TWO jump out & every health care practitioner will tell you the same:

1. Multi vitamin
2. Omega supplement

 

You have a simple decision to make…

The 3 Priority Ways to Drop Fat

1. Low GI Foods
2. Resistance Training
3. Compound Exercises

1) Low Gi Foods

GI stands for Glycemic Index. This tells us whether a food raises blood glucose (sugars) quickly, moderately or slowly.

Different carbohydrates are digested and absorbed at different rates & GI is a ranking of how quickly each carbohydrate-based food and drink makes blood glucose levels rise after eating them.

You want a slow steady release of energy (sugar) from the foods you eat. So choosing low GI is the smarter choice – the energy will be released slower & provide energy for a longer period of time & will in turn cause less of an insulin response.

Insulin is the hormone of fat-storage & ageing. Control that & you control those two factors to a certain extent.

This is how foods are classified:

Low GI	Medium GI	High GI
0-55	56-69	70 or greater

Choose low to moderate GI foods & you will manage your blood sugar effectively. Portion sizes & timing do play a part but this is the most important element to consider.

I’ll show you how to put this into a meal plan & which foods are low – moderate GI at the end of this article.

2) Resistance Training

If you want to lose Fat-Weight you MUST LIFT WEIGHTS. Here’s why …

The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn. FACT. This is the way to guarantee control of your body-fat over time.

This doesn’t have to complicated. The first few sessions may be uncomfortable as you learn something new but then you will start to feel & Look great.

I coach this to all my clients & highly recommend you learn some simple moves, I’d be happy to help you out so check out my first step solution at the end of this article.

3) Compound Exercises

These are movements that involve more than one muscle group & move two or more joints.

An example of a compound movement is a bench press or a squat.

Isolation movements are single muscle group, single joint movmements, for example a bicep curl or a calf raise.

The more muscle fibres you recruit in an exercise routine the more muscle you will grow & more calories you will burn.

So a single arm bicep curl is not the best choice of exercise if fat loss is your goal. A squat, deadlift, dip, bench press, lat pulldown or a row are smarter choices.

Get the basics handled & then pick up other powerful tips & techniques as you develop. Watch a powerful fat loss solution I have for you at the end of this article.

3 Why’s Fish Oil should be your FIRST supplement

1 Why: Helps Combat EVERY disease…

You can google Fish oil and ‘ X ‘ (any disease). You’ll find reams of pages (average 1,750,000) & studies supporting the fact that fish oil helps to reduce the risk to whatever disease you type.

The benefits are FAR REACHING.

So a question you could be having right now is How do I know I need it? The answer is testing. If you don’t know your Omega status it is well worth finding out.

The further you are away from a ratio of 2:1 (Omega6:Omega3) the higher your risk to illness, ailments & disease. (I’ll show you a streamlined way to test & perfect your status in the quickest time possible at the end of this article)

 

2 Why: Fat Loss..

Again you can do your own research on Google which will pull up just under 5,000,000 pages of data supporting fish oil supplementation & fat loss.

If you want to look & feel your best for something that takes less than 30 seconds a day then fish oil supplementation is a no brainer.

The only question you should have is ‘ Which the best product & how much does it cost? ‘ (I’ll give you a genius option at a highly competetive price the end of this article…)

 

3 Why: Builds Muscle & Lowers Inflammation…

There is a more recent term coming through called ‘ INLAMMAGEING ‘ linking the rate of ageing with inflammation.

Bottom line is the more we control inflammation, think painful joints, digestive issues, outbreaks of rashes & acne on the skin, the longer we keep our youthful looks & vibrancy.

At the same time we get to build more muscle which is one of the top determinants of longevity. Fact is the more muscle you have the more calories you’ll burn (even at rest) so basically put the more muscle you have the less likely you will get fatter !

 

Check out this short video (1min34) that rifles through these benefits PLUS introduces ALL the BENEFITS FOR you in a seamless easy-to-apply, easy-to-follow way  – CLICK HERE –

 

 

Excercise Choice & Variation

 

If you want optimal results in the quickest possible time it is critically important that you vary your training stimulus. A training program or an individual exercise is only good for the time it takes for your body to adapt to it.

 
This means that there is an optimal curve of improvement for each exercise, movement & training program. Once the peak has been reached from that stimulus it is time to alter the variable(s).

 

 
You could alter the variables of the movement, for example the speed at which you are performing the movement, or the rest period between sets, or the sequence of exercises you have lined up etc. Point being that in order to keep improving you must vary
how your body (& brain) challenged.

 
The rate at which you should vary stimulus depends heavily on the individual. This is where working with a skilled training coach is invaluable. They will be able to periodise your training program (have a long-term plan) to ensure continued success.

 

For excercise tips, ideas and routines check out my youtube channel

A general rule of thumb is that most people adapt to a training program in approximately six workouts. This means that you can set the program & diligently follow it for six workouts, you must then alter stimulus in order to keep getting optimal gains.
The intricate details around planning & variation of training programs is vast. There are many books written solely about each of these two topics.

 

The Bottom Line…

For now your approach should be to apply a specific routine, which you follow for a maximum of six workouts. At that point set up a new routine. Practice this long-term & you will consistently stimulate success from your training programs.

 

To Your Best Health,
