8 week plan / Week 7

Week 7

 

Be yourself.

No rules—just try and eat as healthily as you can and do it by feel. Trusting yourself might seem like a lot of responsibility, but by now you'll be up to it. Learning to eat by feeling what your body needs is an important step in your transformation. Consider the way you've been eating over the last 6 weeks, but don't worry about what you should and shouldn't do. Just fuel yourself. The point is to take a mental break. Relax and allow yourself to eat in a way that feels normal. You may be surprised to find yourself craving something healthy instead of a candy bar or soda. You'll be better at listening to your body because it'll tell you what it needs to eat, as opposed to what you're used to eating. Your body should feel somewhat transformed. Does it?

"Reward for a Life Well Lived" Days: 1

Weekly focus:

If you're so hungry at night that you can't sleep, try a protein shake (Casein Protein Powder – digest slowly) before bed. When it's real, and not habitual, hunger means you lack nutrients your body needs to repair itself as you sleep. You want nothing but protein powder and water. No carbs or superfluous calories. But protein at night will help the body repair damaged tissue and enhance the natural growth-hormone spike that you get while you sleep.

Strong person

A strong person is the one who knows how to be quiet, shed a tear for a moment, and then picks up their sword and fights again.

Purpose

You cannot do anything about yesterday, but you control today. Be your best, align with people who lift you up, do the things that give you a sense of purpose, choose not to merely exist but rather thrive and create a lasting wake of positivity. The past does not define you, all that matters is you take every moment today and define your future.

Past

Never regret anything that has happened in your life, it cannot be changed, undone or forgotten so take it as a lesson learned and move on.

 

unnecessary thoughts

·         "A man should take away not only unnecessary acts, but also unnecessary thoughts, for thus superfluous acts will not follow after."

·         Marcus Aurelius: Was a Roman emperor and philosopher

Courage

·         I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

·          Nelson Mandela

Do it now

·         Do it now, do it today, do it in this moment, but no matter what, take action! Go out and show the world. Be brash, be bold, declare that you are here to make your mark on the world. There is no better way to go through life than to shock the world, live on the edge, and push your limits. Just because you're breathing doesn't mean your alive. Find where the fire burns the brightest and be alive. Don't settle for anything else.
