Doors open April 2021

Be Mindful

Your thoughts and beliefs are powerful. Notice and dismiss the unhelpful ones. Nurture and cultivate the helpful ones.

Exercise

Start where you are. Work at your own pace. Move in a way that feels good. We are moving towards 150 minutes per week.

Start with Protein

No dieting, calorie counting or restriction. Instead we'll focus on getting sufficient protein to promote satiety, and weight loss (if that’s your goal).

Three Good Things

Notice and celebrate the positive. Each day you'll reflect on 3 good things.

Week One

Three Good Things

Working backwards, we'll start by focusing on what's good. As psychologist Dr. Rick Hanson puts it, "The brain is Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones." In our first session you'll learn why we are hardwired to focus on the negative and how to overcome this evolutionary bias with a simple nightly habit. Consciously shifting our focus toward the positive generates motivation and more importantly a bias toward action.

Week Two

Start with Protein

We all know that how we fuel our bodies matters, and yet it can be a struggle to consistently make good choices. I'm not a fan of dieting or nutrition dogma. I prefer to stick to the basics, like eating  adequate amounts of high quality protein. It may seem simple, but a singular focus on this foundation makes a HUGE difference toward feeling your BEST.

Week Three

Exercise

Meeting the minimum recommendations for physical activity is a challenge for many of us. The sedentary nature of many jobs combined with technology designed to make our lives easier, has resulted in our sitting is the new smoking reality. We'll review the benefits of exercise, and you'll connect with your personal motivators and find ways to move more that may or may not include traditional "exercise".

Week Four

Be Mindful

Behaviour change is equal parts action and thought. Our mind is a non-stop thought generating machine. Some are helpful, some not so much. We'll explore the practice of mindfulness, of noticing thoughts from a neutral observer standpoint so that we can dismiss the unhelpful ones and nurture the beneficial ones.

Week Five

Practice

Change is hard! Changing what we eat, how often we move, and what we think is even harder. Ideally our "keep it simple" and "take it slow" approach is making it easier, but we'd be remiss if we didn't anticipate challenges. This week we'll discuss barriers and obstacles and share tips for persevering and finding those small wins and good things!

Week Six

Celebrate

Our final week together will be a celebration of the success you've had, the community we've built, and the learnings you're taking with you. You'll come away with a plan to maintain the healthy habits you've established so you continue to feel your BEST.
