Actually, You Are A Real Runner

I remember telling my doctor that I am constantly thinking about my knee and the pain I might experience. From the moment I wake up until going to sleep. The thoughts are always there in the back of my head before any movement I make. Even just standing. Months ago, I was watching the TV show Broad City and got worried for Ilana because she got dressed very quickly and went for a walk in NYC and didn't even look for a knee thing to wrap around her knee. I think that other people have knee problems too and wince at the pain they might experience! I told my doctor this story, and she just gave me a shot which did nothing. I wish someone had told me to examine my thoughts and get help with my thoughts!  So... I decided I needed to spend some time thinking (and writing) about my thinking.

Fallon is my former boss and my current subconscious mind guru. She used to have a job/life where she was waking up and already anticipating negativity and thinking about what work fires needed to be put out. Something changed and she decided to detach from the deadlines and give herself permission. Permission to explore in life. Permission to follow the fun. Permission to figure out what would really fill her up.   "Internally, you can go bankrupt from chasing things outside of you that don’t really fill you up."   Connect on IG: https://www.instagram.com/fallon_wright/ Watch her short film: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEnSBuPBzYuDupXPK0VgoUGmKDSHwQ1yD1JCLc0/ Listen to episode 13 (omg episode 13!!) with her wife Kelley Raye: https://youarearunner.libsyn.com/ep-13-how-photographer-kelley-raye-empowers-women      ------  Register for The WFH Success System: http://www.imperfecteating.com/ Connect with Jaclyn: coachjaclyn@jaclynricchio.com

We’re all sitting at home and consuming a lot. A lot of processed food. A lot of social media. A lot of advertisements. Like a lot. No wonder we feel overwhelmed and can't consistently take action in life. We're consuming a lot, it's paralyzing, and we have few boundaries set up to navigate this life. No one taught us how to create boundaries with food, the internet, or how we spend our time during the day... and our time on this planet.

Motivation  ≠  Enthusiasm  Which is great news because I am not a super peppy or enthusiastic person. And hearing people say things like "just do it" didn't actually help me just do the thing... just made me feel bad and lazy I couldn't get myself to do the thing. So how did I learn how to motivate myself to get shit done? Well, I learned a different working defination of motivation: All human behavior is motivated pain and pleasure. Either I want to move away from pain or closer to pleasure. Moving away from pain can get us started, but moving closer to (internal) pleasure keeps me going.  p.s. I help people who experience anxiety and depression learn to get things done AND enjoy the journey.

Have you ever woken up, looked in the mirror, and been like, "Wtf. Why are you so ugly?"   Or you avoid the mirror because you don’t want to look at your body. And when you do catch a glimpse of yourself by mistake, you say, "Do I really look like this? Omg I can’t let anyone see me like this.” If this is you, you’re not alone. The mirror can be very triggering to a shitty body image day.   Today, I want to teach you how to look in the mirror and not zone in on a body part you hate. Not fall down a rabbit hole of body hate.   Because... is being a jerk to yourself actually helping you do the thing you're trying to do?   xo, Jaclyn Certified Health + Life Coach   Grab the ABCDE Worksheet here: https://www.imperfecteating.com/abcde Read the blog: https://www.imperfecteating.com/blog/how-to-look-in-the-mirror-and-not-zone-in-on-a-body-part-you-hate-and-not-fall-down-a-rabbit-hole Book a call here: www.imperfecteating.com

You’ve been working hard to do this Imperfect Eating thing. This whole "I'm going to have some without having all" thing. And it felt novel and exciting at first. Freeing. Having some/not all.

Before you rush to a diet, let's discuss 5 reasons you ate all/not some and see what actual solutions you need in place.   xo, Jaclyn Certified Health + Life Coach   So many women miss out on life because they think a complicated diet will fix them, but it actually results in bingeing and more self-loathing.

Chrissy was a pro at starting and stopping diets... and the Couch to 5k program! Starting and stopping. Starting and stopping. The solution was not to just go all in and willpower her way through. The actual solution was to take bite size steps and ease in to things. Food and running! Reps, reps, reps... The results: Chrissy placed 3rd in her first 5k!
