Hi dears, I've been quite quiet on here recently for personal reasons, and we didn't have a coaching call last Wednesday, so I feel disconnected from all of your journeys. Let's do something about that!! Please feel free to share below - what is your current focus area in your health journey? eg a mindset shift? a new habit? a problem you're unsure how to navigate? And/or is there anything you're wondering about from the course or in the broader topic of health optimisation that I can offer some perspectives on? We feel less alone navigating our challenges, and learn so much, from sharing our thoughts and hearing those of others on similar paths 🫶 Also - check back here tomorrow for a podcast episode tip that will help you stop fixing what isn’t yours to fix, set boundaries with more ease, and practice feeling the freedom of focusing on yourself. Sending you big hugs on this last September Sunday 🌞💞

För exalterad för att översätta mina tankar till engelska!! Jag kom in på skrivarutbildningen!!😍 den här utbildningen är bara för mig. Bara för att få djupdyka i något som jag vill. Och tydligen endå är så pass okej på att jag kom in😍🌟🙏🏼💕

In this week’s coaching call we talked about RESISTANCE. The other day, I felt huge resistance to something as simple as taking a walk without my phone. My mind instantly reminded me of thousands of “more productive” things I could do that “need to get done”. But I decided to go anyway. A 45-minute walk in the woods along the water, no phone, no one to talk to. And guess what happened? That resistance soon faded — and through came some of the clearest, most valuable revelations I’ve had in weeks. I even took a detour to make the walk (& revelations) last even longer 😅 In Wednesday’s meditation, we visualised something we have a strong resistance to doing - although we know that it would do us good. Like the phone-free walk. That sparked a conversation about how modern society conditions us to constantly chase dopamine — with instant gratification always at our fingertips through phones, social media, and endless digital stimulation. (more on this on day 27 of R2T) - But the high we get from these dopamine spikes is short-lived. - Dopamine is tied to your brain’s reward system and quickly adapts to repeated exposure, so we end up needing stronger or more frequent stimulation to feel the same reward — leaving us DESENSITISED, DISTRACTED & often DEPLETED. In the same way that excess caffeine can also make us more tired (there’s a goldilocks zone - as with your exercise, see day 25). Another 2 key takeaways from the discussion: 1) We often experience resistance purely because humans HATE CHANGE. It goes against our survival mechanism. The status quo = safe & secure for your nervous system - although it’s often the opposite in reality, but your nervous system isn’t always rational.. So your brain is an EXPERT at making up reasons why you should stay the same - especially if the people in your environment don’t have a “growth mindset” - they will do everything in THEIR power to hinder you from changing. See day 6 on the importance of choosing your tribe, especially when committing to change in your life.
