Your Subconscious Plan

Losing weight often feels daunting because we believe it requires a detailed, specific plan. Sometimes, just the thought of creating this plan makes us give up and move on. On the other hand, gaining weight seems effortless, requiring no plan—unless it’s an intentional goal, which is a challenge for some and worthy of its own discussion.

The notion that we gain weight without a plan is a fallacy. Subconsciously, we make choices that lead to weight gain. Each time we avoid making the right decisions, cling to old habits and beliefs about our bodies, and repeat unhelpful behaviors, we are following an unwritten plan to gain weight.

If you want to lose weight, don’t start by drafting a new plan. Begin by recognizing the existing subconscious plan that has brought you to where you are. Understand the deep-rooted values and beliefs related to your body image, stress, failure, and health that shape your habits. By bringing this plan to light, you can identify what needs to be reshaped and create a more intentional path toward your weight loss goals.

With love and gratitude,

No Pain No Gain

We all heard the term: “No Pain No Gain”, I use it quite often with myself, sometimes even with my trainees. However, I am not sure people actually understand the meaning of it.

The pain of a fracture might be to signal us that we are on the wrong path. A pain of a nerve could try to say that maybe we are pushing too much, a pain of stupidity could be when you think you should jump higher than you ever practice for or before, or when you just go for a marathon run when you never run for 10 km in a row. All those versions of pain could not be and should not be part of that statement. Believe me when I say, that it is more painful to push through mentally when a thing seems statics then physically when you can feel the wrong pain. It is easier to say to yourself “if I don’t feel the physical pain I probably don’t push hard enough”, then to kee...

A Path to True Wellness and Balance

In the pursuit of a healthy life, we strive for balance, aim to maintain our health, and seek happiness within ourselves and our daily lives. While achieving this may seem straightforward, many of us face regular challenges in doing so. We often hide behind our screens, offering advice and sharing personal stories in an attempt to guide others. Yet, when we delve deeper, we find that issues such as obesity, depression, lack of joy, stress, and anxiety persist. So, what’s the key? I believe that self-reflection—practiced often, even daily—can lead us toward our desired goals. The first step is to define your destination: what does wellness truly mean to you? According to the Google Dictionary: Well: in a good or satisfactory way. Ness: denoting a state or condition. However, defining wellness alone isn’t enough to help you reach your aspirations. It requires your personal experiences, objectives, and passions to truly shape it. Begin by asking yourself: What does "well" me...
