  Disconnected Donna: Where's Your Mind At? 

  Image Source

  Friend! Your dominant cravings trigger is your MINDSET 🧠 around food, your body and yourself... making you a Disconnected Donna (not a bad thing!).💛 This means that your feelings, emotions and thought (or inability to be aware of them) are influencing your hunger, cravings and over-eating patterns. But don't stress...we got solutions for you...Your mindset is the bedrock from which all other healthy habits can sprout.🌱 How you perceive yourself and the world around you is extremely impactful in how you think, act and live. Catch my drift?So how can you start to change your mindset? 🙏Here are three tips to help you shift your perception & align it more with your health & fitness goals...1) Reflect on Your Current Relationship with FoodA great place to start is to reflect on your current attitudes and thoughts around food, dieting, cravings and hunger. 1. Grab a sheet of paper and list out any phrases, ideas, concepts, childhood habits and relationships that you have learned and/or observed up until now. 2. Looking at eat item you listed ask yourself:Where did I learn this? Is this a positive association or negative?Why do I belive this? Is this true or not?Does this still affect me to this day?Do I want to continue to hold onto this idea?3. Lastly, ask yourself how you can start to shift these ideas and thoughts about your current situation?2. List your valuesI know, it sounds weird...but, how can you create a life filled with habits & routines if we don't know the values that drive those habits & routines? By listing out your values, you can align your actions with them. Here's an exercise to do:Step 1: Current Situation Grab a piece of paper and draw a circle. That circle represents one full day in hours. Divide the circle into slices, each representing the amount of time you spend on different areas of your life. The larger the slice, the more time you spend on that area.(Example areas = Family, Community, Spirituality, Work, Fun & Recreation, Creativity, Personal Development, Goals & Values, Personal Relationships, Volunteering, Money, and Health & Exercise. (Feel free to add or remove any of these options))Step 2: Ideal SituationOn a fresh page, complete the same exercise as above, but this time think about where you would actually want to spend your time.Some questions to get you thinking before you start drawing: 
What makes you happy? What gives you peace of mind?Step 3 - ReflectWhat’s the difference between your current versus ideal circle?Did you notice any discrepancies? Any similarities you are proud of?
What prevents you from taking action to make your “current” closer to your “ideal”?How can you better align your life with your ideal circle?3. Notice How You Speak To YourselfThe dialogue we say to ourselves is extremely powerful. Take note of the tone and angle of the things you say to yourself. Jot down what you notice on a piece of paper or on your phone. At the end of the day or week, reflect. Are these mostly positive or negative?What words are coming up often? Are these helpful or hurtful?How can I change what I'm saying to myself to make it uplifting & positive?Can you identify where some of your words and tone could be negatively impacting your thoughts, feelings and attitudes towards yourself?"Who’s the #CravingsQueen with all the tips?"

  Hormonal Henriette: Feeling out of Whack?

  Image Source

  Friend! While cravings can be impacted by different areas, your dominant Cravings Archetype is Hormonal Henrietta, with your main triggers being your HORMONES & METABOLISM! 🧬 This means that your hormones and physiological responses are causing the majority of your cravings and hunger. But that's ok...we have solutions for you! 💛Your metabolism is directly impacted by your hormones, so if your hormones aren't functioning well neither will your metabolism. It determines how efficiently your body uses, burns fats and retains muscle. So, the more you can support your natural hormonal cycle, the better chance you have at reducing hunger and cravings for the long term. With that being said, many women can influence their metabolism and hormones in a healthy, natural and effective way...***Of course, if you suspect you have a greater hormonal issue or want professional medial advice, it can be worth getting blood work done. Many women see improvements by adopting healthier lifestyle habits but there may be larger issues that may need more attention. Trust your gut.***Three tips to help support your hormonal cycle....1) Focus on Strength Training & WalkingFriend, fat-loss starts with nutrition (more on that below) and then has little do with cardio and much more to do with strength training, doesn’t have to look like you sweating it out in an overcrowded gym. While treadmills, ellipticals, and similar cardio machines are a great option if you’re short on time, they can get a little boring if you don’t switch up your workout routine.Instead of forcing yourself to spend an hour doing something you really aren’t in the mood for, ask yourself what physical activities you genuinely enjoy. It could be something simple as raking the leaves in your front yard or taking a relaxing walk along the creek with friends or family. If you pick something that lights you up, you’re way more likely to get out there and actually do it.2. Rethink Your Sleep RoutineAccording to a recent study, insomnia is on the rise… And it’s no wonder when you think of our culture’s high stress levels and total reliance on technology. Computer and smartphone screens emit a wavelength of light in the blue spectrum, which signals your body to wake up. When you use your devices within two or three hours of bedtime, your body can’t make the melatonin it needs for a refreshing, rejuvenating sleep…So pick your ideal lights out time and press pause on your screens well before then!On top of that, try managing the stress that might be keeping you up after hours by doing something relaxing like reading a book or taking a bath. This will lower your cortisol levels throughout the day so that by night you’re able to fall fast asleep.P.S. Steering clear of caffeinated beverages like coffee and Red Bull will also go a long way in your quest for an eight-hour snooze.3. Include protein & veggiesOne of the best things you can start to do to nurture your metabolism is to start including lean protein and vegetables into your meals on a consistent basis. These macro nutrients are the building blocks for our muscle tissue and provide essential vitamins & nutrients for our basic bodily functions. In addition, including these voluminous foods that are high in nutrition and lower in calories, you will be able to control the hormonal fluctuations of leptin and insulin, two of our main culprits for increased hunger and cravings.

Increase awareness around triggering situations 🧠Awareness is the first step in understanding which certain situations or people may be triggering to you.

Awareness Exercise You can also use this exercise after an event has occurred and you want to break it down more. It works best if you can write it down. Grab a piece of paper and answer the below 5 questions at the following times of the event:Before the event 2 hours 30 minutes Immediately beforeDuring After the Event 1. What you're feeling and thinking? 2. Where are you/going? 3. Who are you going with? 4. What time was the event? 5. What did the event consist of?2.

Just stay focused on what you want and what you need and don't waiver. Join a community of like-minded individuals at a gym, MeetUps, on Facebook or with our coaching group to feel supported! 3.
