The Link Between Stress and Body Fat

The Link between Stress and Fat on your body.

You are NEVER going to lose weight until you get familiar and deal with your stress, past present and future!

 

Why is stress making me fat? Simply put Stress is causing a chain reaction in the body that releases hormones, that then run riot in the body, hormones that are very well known like Cortisol which is the NO 1 stress hormone and real bad boy to have anywhere near your body as it makes you gain, hold onto, store and convert more into fat that you will ever need.

Stress is a poison in your body a really serious toxin. I have been a Detox Diva for years and very familiar with chemical toxins and how to release these from your body, that are being stored in our gut and cells. This is way beyond the physical and external influences of what we take into our bodies, but actually it is something that we create ourselves in our bodies, so we have to deal with this from a completely different angle.

I have put together a whole set of tutorials that seriously reduce stress and teach you how to avoid new stress and how to get rid of the old stored baggage you are still carrying around. click the link to access the full description.

In my vast experience with healthy eating and diets and cleansing the body, I can say that you can eat as healthy as you like for as long as you like, but if you are generating, and reacting to situations with stress you will have a very damaging substance in your body that is causing you to hold and create more and more fat.

This fat is believe it or not a blessing, and is luckily protecting you from these toxins and poisons by using fat to shield you and your organs from their potential harm. Now without being too doom and gloom about all of this, it can be reversed and have a happy ending. There is hope! Hallelujah I hear you cry!

First you need to know what makes you stressed and how that stress feels in your body, so you can recognize it when it happens. And put some real workable actions into practice. For me it has a taste a bitterness, and acid flavour, My tongue burns and my belly is acidic much like heart burn. My body curls in on itself and I either want to run or hide, I get choked and can’t speak sometimes. Unlike other personalities who respond with violent words and express themselves fully. This is well worth knowing how you react to stress, as this is the key.

 

In nature when an animal is chased to be eaten and that animal is not caught, then it will have a time that it shakes off the stress. We humans seldom do this. Certainly the personalities I am talking to. Its something we need to learn to let go of all that adrenalin that causes a damaging internal chain reaction that races through our bodies and will eat us up if we don’t take care of it soon.

The after effects of stress will make you do things that you would normally avoid doing, if you were of clear mind. It will make you eat foods that counteract the bitterness, fatty foods like cheese to soften the blow or sugars to sweeten up the story. These foods create a partial reverse chain reaction that counteract the feeling of the stress ( but not the chemical release of all those hormones ) and give you a feeling of being more relaxed, calmer and more in control. They induce a heavier fuller sensation that helps you to cope and be able to carry on, as if normal again.

You can learn how to do this for yourself without the extra food or what ever drug of choice you have habitually used. But at some point needs to come the time to shake off the stress that you experienced today, after that you can purge the stress that you are still carrying around from the past, the old baggage, garbage that you never took out to the trash before. So you can release the stress your holding on to and not get hooked up and attract that level of stress back into your life in the future.

Oh that sounds good, right?

Certain personalities have a higher level of stress than others, they don’t even know they are stressed as they are always at that level of stress, its continuous and they are unconscious of it.

They don’t remember how to be more relaxed, and having someone say to you relax is like talking a different language to them. They think they are relaxed. Ha I know that feeling. Its like chalk and cheese once I realized how much further I could relax and sensed the levels that I could attain.

I am like this, I have run little known to me on a high level of stress for ever. I heard it described to me that I was over vigilant over sensitive more than once. I can take a lot on, I can cope well under fire, I can care for everyone, notice what needs to be fixed and have a long list of jobs and get them all done, I am practical, efficient, responsible and super reliable.

I hold it all inside and cope well or so it looks on the outside, my coping mechanism started to show me enough was enough when I realized that there was more going on here than food in and food out, as I dieted and detoxed to extreme, and that I was gaining weight even although I was eating less and less.

I saw it in other ladies too that I detoxed on my detox retreats here in France, they did not lose any weight where as my detox week regularly released 5KG (10 lbs) in a week, some ladies were not able to release anything. I had ways to effect the goal they wanted and it was never about food. What they needed TLC and deep relaxation first, then a way to express and release the levels of stress that I became familiar in recognizing and sensed they were carrying. They actually really needed to feel safe.

I have a similar story that a friend once told me how she saw me, and when I heard this I brushed it all off and said but its me its normal, I’m OK.

She said, “OMG you moved to France, you knew nobody here, you were pregnant and did not speak French. You now have a huge house, 2 businesses to run ( my detox retreat and my apartment rentals ) You are dedicated to help others get well with your retreats. You were 40 and 42 when you had your boys alone with no support of family or friends, you do this big garden, have a huge vegetable patch, chickens, dogs and kids and your partner does not really help you as you need. It’s your dream. You then started a French conversation group in Biarritz every Wednesday evening, to meet people and learn French, you never say you can’t come. That’s remarkable, that’s a lot for one person to take on”

I brushed it off but the synopses stayed with me for years until I realized and woke up to the fact that that was causing me a great deal of stress, anxiousness in me and I had not asked for help, expressed my hurt or disappointment, or ever complained. ( well maybe a bit )

This was my Kryptonite, this stress was my weakest point. It made me over tired, irritable, I could not think clearly, make rash decisions, that made me more stressed which made me need to eat what ever was at hand to cope and carry on, saying I’ll be OK I’ll take some time out for me later, but I never did and even if I did I would not know what to actually do to release the stress that had built up.

You are only as good as your weakest link. I learnt that in electronics ( my previous company in the UK ) and being in camera technology, you can’t take a really good signal and expect it to be the same at the other end with a poor quality cable. The good quality cable would be my healthy nutrition but my weakest link was certainly the stress I was carrying alone.

My circumstances did change, but my way of coping was the same. I now know. It took me some time to see it I hope with al my heart that you see and get to come to terms with a new way of dealing with your stress, before its too late and these poisons start effecting other areas of your life too.

Now I know exactly what makes me stressed. How to reduce my current stress, what level of stress I am at, at any time.

I recognize what has stressed me in the past and I clear that quickly.

I re set my hormone levels and do things to raise my level of good hormones and releasing the store of toxic memories and the fat that goes along with that.

And I now have learnt how to receive, ask for support and take care of myself much, much better.

This is as essential as good nutrition and for transformation of a healthy energised body and mind.

The Shake it off and Tip The Scales program ( The Ultimate Body Connection ) I am proud of this program as it captures so much of what I have done with 1 to 1 clients over the past years, and I have put all of that and so much new material into this program. I am running this for 8 weeks and it teaches all of this and more to become a Woman who can express her real needs and not be a victim to stress any longer.

I would love to share this information with you that has catapulted me into living a real life here in France. No longer in survival mode and at the mercy of stress but actually living and enjoying every day. I’ve lost the weight as a result and feel more and more relaxed and believe that everything is working out really well.

A Survey for the Ultimate Weight loss connection.

As a subscriber to my site I know that there is something that you are searching for, something you feel you need support with. I know because I have searched long and hard for it too. Sometimes its not exactly what we think we need to be controlling, that will make the most significant differences.

For example, have you noticed, and don’t you find it strange that there is such a huge variety of experiences we are all having with our bodies, our weight, the food we eat, our range of movement, and the energy we have available to spend.

With this in mind we just have to know, that there is MUCH more at play here than just food in and food out.

I wanted to ask for your help with something I am creating. I’m getting ready to launch a series of very insightful webinars that hits on my favorite topic of all time. If this resonates with you please complete the survey attached https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XWLKTP2 and you will receive a breakthrough call to learn · The single most important exercise you will ever do to create trust in yourself, your body and let go of that stubborn weight. It contains 1 action that takes just 5 minutes to do, that will forever change your approach to your body and weight

We’ve been trying really hard to do this by controlling our behavior from the outside in, with diets, exercise and will power, and beating ourselves up for feeling weak and not being disciplined enough. Now is the time to take control of it, which, by the way is he only way we can control anything… from the inside out.

If we want to live in a lighter, more flexible and energized body then perhaps we need to look at this from another angle, from the inside out.

During these webinar’s I’m planning to help everyone to see, hear and feel how their body responds to what we are telling it, the beliefs we hold about losing weight, or the food that we eat, and the BIG part that all plays on our body’s holding on to weight.

I can see clearly now after years of exploring this for myself and with many clients, that we are all literally wearing and weighed down by our attitudes, concerns, troubles and beliefs.

Please help me to home in on the exact topics that most resonate with you on this liberating subject of weight loss.

In this survey please be as open and candid as possible. It’s a huge help to me to bring this topic into view, and shed some light on the pains we are carrying around IN and ON our bodies.

I am planning to launch a series of webinars very soon. This series will be predominantly aimed at Women who feel uncomfortable in their body for any number of reasons, who have a stubborn 2 stone to lose, (12 kg/26lbs), who feel the need to alter their food intake to control their size and weight, and want to make some lasting and permanent changes. I would be so happy if you could spend 2 minutes answering my survey.

Everyone who responds and answers my survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XWLKTP2 will receive a liberating breakthrough call to learn · The single most important exercise you will ever do to create trust in yourself and your body and let go of stubborn weight. It contains 1 action that takes just 5 minutes to do, that will forever change your approach to your body and weight.

I look forward to connecting with you and receiving your feedback, It is very important to me and I do appreciate your time.

Detox Question Time. FAQ ?????

Are you tuning into your body’s unique needs?

 

I have been very luck to have been able to help many woman recently to tune into what their body is actually telling them.
I was asked recently; “Can I still get the benefits  from a detox if I have chronic constipation? If so, how? I have tried everything for constipation – liquid diet, raw food including some fermented foods, etc. and nothing works. So unless I find a miracle technique, Am I stuck with it ? I do hope a detox works.”
Constipation is a major problem for many, especially for woman, if you are shift workers and if you have certain worries or fears, or an attitude that can keep you hanging on to things and people and situations long after they have proved not to be of any use to you anymore.
With this lady we eliminated many of the diet choices that could have helped her physically, however there was a recurring theme that she was not able to let go of.  She was not aware of  her habit of hanging on to the old memories, and the pain of a lost situations and circumstances that were causing her to be fearful about moving forward.
Once we enabled her to become aware and conscious of her mental habits, to actually hear the words she was saying, she began to have a new perspective that started to work very well for her. She eased up on herself and saw the light at the end of the tunnel for her future.
We managed to change her outlook and raise her vibrations so much so, that she became a lighter person mentally and the constipation eased up until she could happily experience a daily movement and keep that regular.
In my 15 years of experience coaching, facilitating and helping people to detox, I have seen that there is never just one route to get them feeling better again. To feeling vibrant and confident in their own skin. It is a path with mental and physical sign posts and our bodies are telling us every day by what she attracts in, via pains, inconveniences and negative heavy thoughts. Our Body has all the resources and all the Wisdom to help and heal itself, it just needs reminding and lifting up so it can see the bigger higher picture.
It takes a sensitive ear and heart to be able to dig out and reveal the hidden treasures and what they are telling us.

What is the No 1 Missing Nutrient?

Emotional Eating

Just recently I finished an extra course in the psychology of eating, just out of curiosity and to further my education of what’s new. I must say it goes along really nicely with what I have always felt and have come to believe.

Its not so much what or how you eat that seems to matter. Even stronger than that, it is often not even food that we are even craving. Yet it’s our habitual use of food and its repetition, and not looking for the real fulfillment, that keeps us all hooked on the things we have always used to sooth our soul. Here is a real nutritional and nourishing upgrade the missing nutrient and the final game changer.

If you’re interested in your health, and for what ever reason you first felt motivated to start on your health journey. Could be that your weight was literally weighing you down mentally and physically, this is the number 1 call for change, and starts many of us in the direction for looking for solutions.

Then maybe you have noticed that there is just a slight or maybe more like a massive gap when it comes to what we consider food and what is actually real nutrition.

Then maybe you noticed that it does not seem to matter what you eat or how much exercise you do, the weight does not shift. The world is truly experiencing a fantastic increase in weight, overeating, emotional eating, binge eating, body image challenges, poor digestion, fatigue, low immunity, mood concerns, hormonal imbalances and so more.

We all know that good nutrition is paramount to health. But here’s the real deal that I have discovered for myself and for my clients… more often that not, good nutrition is just not nearly enough of a incentive to help us get where we need to go. To feel well and have the oodles of energy we all seem to need to get us through these endless busy days. How many people have you personally met who know exactly what to eat, who know what they’re supposed to do – and they just don’t do it? Myself included, when I hit a bump in the road my comfort cravings rise to call me again and again. What I’ve learnt is that it’s a phase and I need to feel what’s really the matter, what am I missing. What nutrients have I ignored? No amount of forcing myself to stay off certain foods will do when I am hurting from a life crisis. Listening and being mindful to why I’m reaching for these favorite snacks has been my teacher and savior throughout the years. Its been an opportunity and signal to find out what Ive been ignoring.

The end result is that there’s a vast number of people ( I’ve already admitted my pain) struggling with eating challenges and unhappy with who they are and how they feel.

And we all need help.

People are searching for answers.

We all want solutions

This is where I can hopefully come in.

There is a need for qualified professionals to guide and support through the confusion of feelings, information overload and your cravings.

And that’s where I come in as a completely different kind of health coach and training:

 

The Psychology of eating has interested me for a long time, especially as a personal coach to clients after the detox and cleanse program, that I have facilitated over the last 10 years here at Retreat Biarritz.

The reasons we eat and have cravings are as wide as the largest gap you can ever imagine, and as deep as the deepest ocean. Yet they are controllable and navigable once you can see and feel them coming on, It’s a simple and delicate operation and one that really works wonders.

This unique synthesis is the “missing link” for so many people when it comes to finally transforming their relationship with food, body and health.

So, this is an opportunity to launch off into a cutting-edge new direction if you are looking for personal answers. Get real and lasting results for yourself.

I am willing to bet that you have a “missing nutrient” if you are experiencing cravings at certain times, body image issues, experiencing un-explained increase in weight, overeating, emotional eating, binge eating, body flexibility challenges, poor digestion, fatigue, low immunity, mood concerns, hormone imbalances and using food as your solution to any number of problems you are currently facing.

All too often we look to fix ourselves first with food, by withholding and restricting certain foods, but what you will experience here with me is a quick understanding of what your body is really asking for.

I am offering you a single personal and up to 2 hours of introduction to this method.

All you need to do is reply to this e-mail and I will book you into one of the slots that are free over the coming next 2 weeks.

You can simply reply using the text “my missing nutrient”.

I have limited spaces to offer, so be quick to reply to ensure that you get one of these spaces I am only offering this spring. I wont be repeating this program again this year.

I will be excited to hear from you, and work with your body and communication and discover what your missing under the normal solutions lies the root to your discomfort.

Detox and Beyond

Beyond your Detox is a Soulful Rendez Vous

What lies at the end of the Detox rainbow for you?

Where will the internal call to detox your body bring you, and why is your body urging you to clean up and lighten up?

I’ve noticed a phenomena over the past few years, not only has detoxing become much more popular, so much so that it is now a popular household term, and not just associated with stopping drugs and alcohol, which was the common association with the word Detox. But the exciting phenomena is that it has a remarkable way of opening people up to finding them selves, to be in a much easier, brighter, happier and all round better place. Firstly by upgrading what we consume and wanting to feel physically better and lighter, then discovering the huge need to quiet the mind, and finally comes the calling to live a more spiritual existence, being connected to yourself as your soul and intuition, and have an equal sense of care and concern for your fellow man and environment.

 

It has been my joy over the last 10 years to experience for myself and others, to see that when we take the time and opportunity to listen to the call to Detox and clean up our act on any level, we are not only removing some of the key substances, stimulants but are more aware of the habitual distractions that have kept us from living a high quality vibrational, and ultimately more spiritual life. When we can experience a cleaner body after a detox and subsequently upgrade what we consume, it naturally progresses to wanting and feeling passionate about upgrading other areas of our life, bit by bit and in our own unique time.

 

In my experience, a detox has been the first way for most of us to actually enable ourselves to feel, that we can live in a vibrant responsive body. And the more we continue the more vibrant we can feel in this beautiful intricate physical body. To make this short, you can feel more fantastic than you have ever felt before. Not a bad start I must say.

As we go through a period of a detox we also remove our old habitual routines, often we adjust our environments as well as the substances that we have come to habitually use.

As we detox emotions rise and fall away that would normally be squashed by our habitual heavy eating and drinking routines. So it was no surprise to me that I started to get messages from detox clients, to hear that they had made some huge changes in their lives after the detox. New jobs, lifestyle improvements, upgraded living conditions and relationships, as well as a change in perception to ultimately becoming a more soulful person, altering eating and living habits alike, and making choices for the planet and our immediate environment.

Now this can be contributed to starting with a period of a detox, but I also see that the planet is going through some radical upgrades and is evolving as well, and in order to feel comfortable in these lighter faster spinning planetary vibrations, we also need to lighten our load and raise our vibrations any way we can.

This is why today I facilitate small groups of exceptional people who want to live a more soulful experience and understand the vibration communication from our soul. To feel lighter and have a daily every day life that is of a high quality vibration, and an awareness of the energetic environment that we live in. From here we can make better choices concerning who, what and where we want to include into our personal space.

 LIVING IN THE RAINBOW BODY 

The next experiential workshop in the Basque region, (nearest Airport Biarritz ) : 28 May to 3rd June 2016.

I have coached enough people now to know that it is possible to go way beyond the first feeling that the detox opened us up to. That feeling that actually had us first captivated with her jewel and promise of living in a vibrant radiating body, to see that the mind and spirit can be ignited and turned on with some very specific attention and TLC.

To be able to feel our way forward and know without a doubt that some foods would suit our bodies better than others at this time, to know which people vibrate with a resonance that we can match with, and what places feel extraordinarily good to us so that we can thrive exceptionally well there, in that particular house, town and country.

Doing a detox can be the door way to experiencing lightening the load, and yes losing weight certainly, which is in fact the No 1 reason most people first want to detox, as their body is crying out to feel generally lighter and brighter. The body instinctively knows it can feel much better, to have more energy, be more flexible, have more stamina, and feel more vibrantly connected to its surroundings.

What if it was possible to not learn, but to feel genuinely attracted to how and what you really enjoyed consuming, and feel lighter and have the high vibrational body we love to live in. No restrictions and rules to follow, no long lists of supplements, just a simple knowing of what the body really would love to experience and thoroughly enjoying that experience. This is communicating on a vibrational level. The Rainbow Body is a colourful vibrant communicating living being, with equal parts of physical body, curious and supportive mind and loving spirit.

I have seen this on so many occasions, that when we have heard and understand why we have been craving a certain food at a certain time, or after a particular situation, we can eventually become conscious of the missing nutrient that our body was actually crying out for. When we can answer that cry with what our body really needs then the poor substitutes we were drawn to (favorite snack foods, drinks etc) actually melt away and do not have their tight grasp on us any more. Any excess weight be it mentally or physically, naturally lifts and balances out. This is a revelation and revolution to the standard beliefs about weight loss. Which translates as a feeling of living in a lighter vibrant body.

Setting up a deeper connection and communication with our bodies can serve us extremely well. Being able to tune in at any moment and feel what would suit us better in this instance, is a true gift.

What would it be like to listen to our body and get responses that were so clear and personal to us, as she guides us instinctively towards our best nourishment.

 

I see a detox as a way to get to know and tune into your body on a more profound level and your potential to kick start something really fabulous.

Our bodies are our chosen vehicle for our soul, and they are beautiful yet complicated, and they do need some special care and attention to keep them stay on top form and act as our best receiver.

So whether you decide to put in some extraordinarily good foods like, Pure Raw organic foods, fresh wheat grass or to do a 7 day total digestive and colon cleanse, which will remove mental and physical obstacles on so many levels in a very short space of time. This is has been my specialty, and with no 2 people ever having the same experience, I can clearly say that we are all individuals, we all vibrate very differently to one another and have very different needs, so we would do best to listen to what our own body wants, rather than think we need to follow a diet or regime that is the height of fashion right now. And to know yourself personally is the key.

I know that in the past I have forced myself to follow the path that I thought was the royal privileged path, and only to discover when I listened to my body that it was not what my body thrived on. So I adapted and remained curious to my own individual needs. Then it gave me the best results and I relaxed my attitude to food. My body has taught me how to attract more magic into my life, than I ever knew was possible, but I have always been suspicious that I was missing.

 

So can a Detox open us up to a more spiritual existence.

Our Bodies are both our receiver and transmitter, they are vibrating all the time sending out an individual frequency of vibration, like messages as well as sensing what is vibrating and available to us in our environment. We use all of our minds ability but don’t yet know how to utilize it all.

So is it a phenomena that as you up grade one area of your life,  you will naturally see that it has a knock on effect in all the other areas of your life? I don’t believe so. I believe it is a natural remembering of the body and soul itself, to want to feel this high quality vibration that it experienced 1st through the detox, that eventually brings you around to your reason for being here on earth and wanting to re connect with the feeling of your heart and soul.

We are made up of the elements of the mind, our physical form and our spirit, all of which are of equal importance for us to really thrive well. The call to detox is the beginning for many of us, and what lies ahead is just magical. Knowing that we can create our own reality, having a feeling of lightness and a sense of loving being in our bodies, to be able to communicate with vibration and understand one another on another, and to know our own personal nourishment, are just some of the highlights of what lies beyond a detox.

Play Time is an essential nutrient

Play Time Special. By Fiona Robertson

Just because we’re adults, that doesn’t mean we have to take ourselves so seriously and make life all about work and achieving goals. We all need to play.

Play isn’t some trivial, dumb thing that’s just for kids. Play should be as important to you as eating greens or drinking water.

Not only does enjoying pleasure and play grow new brain connections for happier moods and better memory, play also sets off a cascade of body-positive effects that will help you to keep you slim and vital. You will literally radiate with more joy and as you do things chemically change within your body and the link between the mind and the body starts to work again.

This is what I have come to experience and learn and why I had to put this page together to specifically show you and remind you the value of changing our perception. To be kind with yourself and remember what it feels like to be in a body that wants the best for you.

What I am proposing is a more of an out of the box solution, to today’s socially accepted norms. But it is a great and successful solution none the less that has a massive effect on our cellular structure, and it can only be experienced to be believed.

Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we’ve stopped playing. Now a-days when we do carve out some down or leisure time for ourselves, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in any type of fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But Adult play is a time to forget about work and commitments, and to be social in an unstructured, creative way.

So often we concentrate on things we’ve learnt about to try and feel better from what and how to eat, and what exercise to do to keep in shape feel better, forcing ourselves to follow a path that actually just does not feel good for us.

However we totally ignore any form or attitude of playfulness as an option to boost our oxygen levels, reduce stress and re set our hormones, which would actually have a massive effect on our bodies ability to function at its optimum levels.

If you run around like crazy, catering for everyone else’s needs, seeing and talking about how much we have to do, how hectic our timetables are with, work deadlines, family, children, partners all wanting something different from you, and you feel like you are being pulled in every direction. And on top of that if you feel sport is a necessary struggle, just as much as how you perceive and judge what you eat and don’t eat, this is a level of stress that is consuming you and will have very detrimental effects on our ability to let go of any weight, aches pains and health concerns that are haunting you.

 

By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap the myriad of health benefits throughout life.

Play can:

  • Relieve stress. Play is fun and can trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
  • Improve brain function. Playing chess, completing puzzles, or pursuing other fun activities that challenge the brain can help prevent memory problems and improve brain function. The social interaction of playing with family and friends can also help ward off stress and depression.
  • Stimulate the mind and boost creativity. Young children often learn best when they are playing—and that principle applies to adults, as well. You’ll learn a new task better when it’s fun and you’re in a relaxed and playful mood. Play can also stimulate your imagination, helping you to adapt, be creative and problem solve.
  • Improve relationships and your connection to others. Sharing laughter and fun can foster empathy, compassion, trust, and intimacy with others. Play doesn’t have to be a specific activity; it can also be a state of mind.
  • Keep you feeling young and energetic. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” Playing can boost your energy and vitality and even improve your resistance to disease, helping you feel your best.
  • Improve your looks. A happy joyful face and posture is attractive to everyone, your face is beaming a smile and it will naturally attract more smiles and positive gestures and help from others.
  • Play releases hormones that activate your happy drugs to flow around the body, which in turn trigger the cells to operate in a completely different way than if your forcing yourself to do sport and exercise, or stick to a hard and fast diet or regime.
  • The science is not totally there yet but the evidence is very clear. A new attitude to your self, your body and your thoughts through adopting more play time can vastly enhance weight loss, relieve pain and tension, be more creative, get great and novel ideas,

I don’t just encourage you to get out and play more (or get in the bedroom and fool around) just because it’s a lot more fun than dragging your butt to the gym in another self-punishment workout (though it totally is).

Physical play and physical pleasure help our brains stay healthier as we age, and balances our hormones. Play keeps our neural pathways open and running smoothly, and keeps the brain “young.”

What’s crazy is how adults, especially women, have been convinced that denying, restricting, and punishing ourselves is the way to get what we want.

Science has shown that restricting, depriving, counting calories and being hyper-vigilant about food and eating has put us into a constant state of stress called “fight or flight” mode.

And when you’re in this state, your body makes more cortisol and releases more insulin. And that insulin “tells”your body not to use fat as a source of energy. Instead it says, “Hold onto that fat. We may need it later.”

So the more your body is in a stressed-out state rather than a fun, playful one, the more you encourage a biochemical state inside yourself that makes you pack on the pounds. Which is why the old way most of us were taught to lose weight is totally false.

But you know what puts an end your body’s stress state?
Enjoying Yourself.
Play.

Here’s a list of 4 Neurochemicals of Play & Pleasure that also lead to joyful weight loss:

 

  1. Dopamine: Everything you do or eat for pleasure produces dopamine surges in your brain. From setting and achieving goals to mind-blowing sex to holding hands or hugging, this key player in the reward system of your brain is where we get that feeling of pleasure.

 

  1. Endocannabinoids: Possibly the cause for “runner’s high,”these self-produced cannabis chemicals are created by your brain and are called the “bliss molecules,” which make movement fun, keeping us coming back for more.

 

  1. Oxytocin: “The bonding molecule”is produced from skin-to-skin contact, making love, affection, and intimacy. Playing and commiserating with a friend also releases oxytocin and bonds us with friends and lovers. It also, funnily enough, bonds us to our dogs, so cuddling and playing with your dog makes them into a loved, lifelong partner. But you dog lovers knew that already.

 

  1. Endorphins: These tiny molecules are basically self-produced morphine or opiates that have pain-killing properties. They’re generally released during strenuous physical play, sex and orgasm.

 

You can make positive steps towards your happy state to come into your own natural high—and natural weight loss—without punishing yourself. What I specifically teach you and help you to experience, is how to feel that state and maintain it. Thinking it is not enough to actually make it work for you. The magic is in the genuine feeling of joy and happiness, which I am so excited to talk to you about.

Do you know what makes you light up? Have you asked yourself what’s fun for you lately? Have you seriously thought about what makes you laugh and shine in your body?

Most of us weren’t trained by our parents to look for the fun, or taught the importance of play, or made to believe that our joys and pleasures were valuable. Did any teacher or parent ask you: What makes you feel whole and alive?

Most of us are trained to see play and pleasure as a treat that you can have after you’ve perfected your work or done all your chores. I invite you to view play and fun as a biological necessity. I ask you to ponder that play and fun are the only paths to real health. And I’ll meet you on the playground!

TESTIMONIAL.

Fiona,

Quite an emotional wrap up to our sessions today for me. I went straight to the pool and swam my heart out and felt alive! (which would have been unheard of less that 4 months ago).

I  want to say (and share with others if you like) that it’s been a great trip since February. I know inside of me I wanted change but your initial mail and first call with those questions really sparked a reflection for me, and now I realise how much I was not listening to my body…almost blaming it for not feeling good.

I find your way of coaching is so encouraging and linked to your life experience so is totally plausible. The step by step program was indeed like building bricks / jigsaw pieces slotting into place..

I only regret not doing this earlier…my advice to anyone not feeling good about themselves…contact Fiona.

Your ear and listening capabilities are great and you are not tangled in our day to day stuff so as to see and feel clearly what’s happening for me…..while staying very personal, and giving a real feeling of made to measure coaching.

I realise the issues with my situation have been weighing on me for ages and have resulted in a spiral of not well being. I kept surfacing for air then plunging down again. I really desire balance from now on with all the joy & lightness that I have discovered these past weeks…

My gratitude is that I have had the opportunity for travel during this time but my brag is that I seized it…..(I never ever thought I would or could have done that, its you who opened that up as a desire in me).

Each night and morning I relive that night under the desert shooting stars when I felt like I was floating on Earth, in ultimate LIGHT NESS !

But I know I cannot stay in the desert so a desire is to achieve another lightness…in my every day life which I am beginning to really experience with your help and tools. hmmmm

Thoughts from cloudy, muggy Paris

Wishing you all the very best,

Love Patricia

How to re set your hormones….and have fun again

 

How to re set your hormones …..and have fun again.

New research has demonstrated that your hormone levels are not just out of whack but have actually short circuited. Your hormone receptors have created resistances to 7 metabolic hormones: cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone; leptin and estrogen.

Like many things in life we have become numb to these 7 metabolic hormones. Did you know that your body is programmed to raise your hormone levels higher and higher, yet your metabolism gets slower and slower and resulting in us getting fatter and fatter. Oops, that’s not good at all.

I have noticed that there are two ways to reverse these actions, one is to clear the resistance and repair the receptors, whilst re setting your hormone levels, without sounding too serious about it all we have a two angled approach.

Hormones are the main cause for the continued weight gain, belly fat, wrinkles, exhaustion, inflammation, sugar cravings, joint aches and pains and most illnesses. And I have a cunning plan that is guaranteed to help you, its easy on its own and fun when combined with my Wise Woman coaching, and here is how we get started.

There is an easy way to re set those hormones so that they are firing again on all cylinders. First we need to clean up our act and start eliminating some of the key contributors that have numbed out our metabolic hormones. We can do this rather quickly via a period of a detox. The Home Detox Box is a 7 day DIY home kit that re sets your digestive system, and creates a state in the body that kick starts all your organs and hormones to function at their optimum levels.

I also offer an intensive intimate, 7 day live in retreat week here in France that will allow you to fully rest and take advantage of my one to one guidance and introduction to raw and fermented food

A third option is to take the 21 day step by step re set program. I coach which groups of foods to eliminate and when in a step by step program that re sets the body and hormones again..

The second real GEM in my crown is to introduce you to your vision of what you actually need  and get to know and trust yourself from the inside out.

See the fun and playful side melt way all the hard edges and see what you can morph into, taking your inner wisdom, serenity and fun attitude and apply it to all the things you encounter.

I teach you to tune into your hidden depths, intuition and wisdom. I have met many, many of my clients guides, and I have seen these wonderful people  literally light up, get clarity and I watch as they become a beautiful wise person, totally at ease with them self and having fun with life. whils loving that they feel better, lose weight and flourish in life again.

What if you have been working hard for example to lose weight, feel better in your body, be free of some niggling health conditions, your feeling generally unfulfilled and feel stuck and confused as to what and where to go next, as all your hard efforts have never actually made an impact, and it seems that all this has actually made no real difference and maybe even have been working against you. What if your actually triggering your hormones to produce more Cortisol and deplete your adrenals. Now is the time to learn how to discover play and stop pushing yourself so hard as this has not worked so far has it?.

Are you ready to feel that you have the vibrant energy that you need to enjoy life to the MAX, and tune into all the benefits that are available to you?

I would just love talking, guiding and helping you to see that a different angle is all that’s needed and actually quite easy and possible. So here is my GIFT of a “Play Time Breakthrough Consultation” with me. This will inject you with inspiration, clarity and that it’s much more than what and how you eat, how much exercise you do or don’t do, or how much time you spend in cross legged meditation that matter, so much as the attitude you adopt.

Curious, excited, eager to find out what more and more people are catching on to fast, with this leading edge and very exciting principle?

Contact me with your E mail details to Fiona@fionarobertson.co with your telephone number and I will give you a range of dates and times that work and we can have our Skype session together.

How to deal with those bumps in the road. (Avoid temptations)

We all hit bumps in the road of life. I am a big believer in it’s not how far you fall, but how quickly you bounce back. Your bump could be that you got frightened about something and that set off a chain of responses that resulted in your habitual reaction such as giving in to temptation, over indulging in a particular craving, distracting yourself with excesses of food or ended up drinking more than you planned, or one of your other distractions that you most commonly use.

 

I am beginning to write a lot (because it’s SO important) about this, and how the only thing we can really change is our perception to these situations. We have influence over some things in our lives, but mostly we are quite powerless to control every single situation and the feelings those situations bring up for us. That is why our attitude and perception can change everything for us, and it can all change in a very short space of time when we know what to do.

 

So when you (or I) hit a bump in the road, when we get thrown off track, when we get depressed and feel frightened – what do we do? HOW can we bounce back?

 

Sometimes however we feel that we don’t want to bounce back. Some of us would rather give in to temptation ans keep suppressing our feelings, emotions and think its easier to keep hiding away under that blanket of our chosen distraction, rather than to begin to understand ourselves and why we do what we habitually do. Is it easier in the long run to keep hiding and stuffing down those parts of ourselves that are dying to be seen, recognized and expressed. The path of self-destruction is filled with avoidance of yourself.

Everyone has their favourite distraction and technique to avoid what is potentially painful. Even too much potential happiness can be frightening, you see its is not just pain that we try and avoid. That’s what these addictions really are – avoidance of ourselves, which is to our own detriment. There are LOTS of ways to be and stay addicted. You can be addicted to substances, alcohol, people, work, fame, success, attention, flirting with people, sugar, food and lots of other things, even like avoidance in novels, films, entertainment – anything to keep you away from hearing your inner voice and true potential. I have concentrated on coaching about food as it has been my key avoidance drug, however they all operate in much the same way. Food has been one of my main avoidance techniques and where most of us need a kick start.

 

When we hit a rough patch in life, (and all of us do from time to time) instead of just letting ourselves feel it, which will admittedly take some practice and guidance, we tend to choose one of the above distractions or addictions and keep avoiding what’s within us. This is not what life and The Universe has in mind for you. No amount of chocolate, sex, alcohol, success, people or drugs can silence the gentle sensitive whisper of The Universe within you. Your soul needs and desires expression and wants to be heard, and is actually guiding you to understand, know and like yourself better and better.

 

So, today try this instead, instead of running and hiding behind your favourite distraction, I have another suggestion. My suggestion is that it’s time to stop running from The Universe, your feelings and your emotions and just face them. Be still. Get quiet and listen. Let yourself get angry, let yourself get sad. Face the truth; go through the feeling your experiencing and know when you do it will fade.

 

I have found a system that has helped me truly face my emotions and feelings instead of running from them. So I am going to give you some tips on HOW to feel your way through your feelings and remain as sane as possible through the process:

 

Try This;

If you find that you are angry, sad, jealous, hurt, embarrassed, ignored or what ever the feeling it is you’ve identified this time, then ask yourself “What do you have on that feeling?”

Keep asking yourself the same question over and over again, this process can take up to (15 minutes). Write it all out on a clean page everything you have on this one feeling. It is better to speak it out loud but without a coach to guide you then writing is a good substitute. Every time you’ve felt angry for example, what are all the things that have made you angry? Really get to know the feeling, really feel it, this is maybe the first time that you have ever been aware of this actual feeling in your body.

Can you feel the energy of this feeling? Soon you will recognize when you feel angry, what makes you angry and what you do when you feel angry, and what your habitual response is to that feeling has been.

 

I would LoVe to help you to be able to reach this place, and detox yourself from this feeling that is driving all your cravings and responses that distract your from the pain you are feeling. To really help you, so that you can begin to recognize your own mechanisms to avoiding and distracting yourself, that are sabotaging your day, your relationships and your health.

 

I will meet you on a skype call and guide you through an experience and out the other side into your own unique Sweet Spot, where you can experience yourself feeling really relaxed, at ease and can feel safe and completely trusting.

Contact me today for your SWEET SPOT EXPERIENCE on Fiona@fionarobertson.co

 

You will also discover one invaluable and immediate step you can take whenever you feel stressed or have a situation that brings up a feeling of discomfort and pain.

 

There are additional ways to avoid the distractions you have set up for yourself, which I am happy to share and have listed below.

 

  1. Breathe – our bodies need oxygen. Most of us don’t breathe properly and deprive our body from this essential nutrient.

Take 3 deep belly breaths taking a count of a minimum of 6 seconds in and out.

 

2. Go 100{6a14cc849908c46212f3d2c8a81eada984febec31535ea1cc7f55de4f8a4ba8e} Clean and sober from your distraction of choice. For 30 days give up the cigarettes, the alcohol, the lover, the sugar and the craving.

 

  1. Drink your fill – hydrate. Dehydration can lead to all kinds of negative side effects, including depression and low energy.

 

Drink 1 litre of the best water you can find, if you want details about what water just ask me.

 

  1. Exercise – Move your body 3-4 days a week for at least 30 minutes.

 

  1. Do a Detox – clean out the old stagnated matter and make room for the new in every sense, a detox can be beneficial to your environment as well as just what you consume. Once you clean up one area of your life the other areas demand a detox too.

 

  1. Eat a more alkaline diet. This is a great way to bring your body back into alignment

 

  1. Get a mentor or coach to help guide you through this process. It REALLY helps to have someone be an outside observer and guide you through with no judgements or expectations.

 

  1. Write your feelings. A spring clean in this way by using a Journal for 10-30 minutes to just let out how you feel onto a clean page really helps.

 

  1. Only hang out with friends who uplift you. Take a break from any negative people in your life.

 

  1. Write your goals down. Imagine your best life and write down what you really want your life to be like. Many of us have created no clear vision of the kind of life we want to create, and therefore and as a result it never happens. I can guide you with the right questions to ask yourself.

 

  1. When you start to have anxiety, sadness or any “negative” emotion, instead of reaching for the pills, the sugar or the drink, just let yourself feel your feelings. Where do you feel it? What does the feeling and the energy of it feel like. What are the symptoms?

 

  1. Visit places of high vibrations – sacred spaces, yoga studios, nature, be with awesome friends, etc. Go where the LOVE is.

 

I hope these tips help you break through. These are some of the most powerful tools I know to connect back to who you really are, to be able to hear The Universe and feel balanced and stay as sane as possible in the process.

Let me know how it goes.

As always, I am here in complete dedication to your experience for a happy vibrant life.

I am passionate about helping you reach your place where food and your other distractions are no longer ruling your life. And you can be aware of your feelings and responses, making balanced decisions from a relaxed and safe place.
