6 Simple Habits to Completely Destroy Morning Stress

6 Simple Habits to Completely Destroy Morning Stress

 

It's about time! 

Rach and I have finally gotten back into a good routine this week after a few months of entrepreneurial chaos that left us both tired, frustrated, and irritable.

Time management and tidiness are critical to lowering your stress levels and doing what you want or need to do with your time. Sure, some people can get away with being a bit messy and it doesn’t bother them, but for most of us (even chronically messy-roomed teens like Rach and I) we tend to be happier when things are tidy and organized.

Needless to say, we are feeling the benefits of this change already!

Personal training is great. If you have a good trainer you get all the benefits of education, safety and external accountability all wrapped up into one neat and tidy service to make staying consistent with working out virtually guaranteed.

But, sometimes it’s just not in the cards for you.

How To Make Your New Year's Resolution ACTUALLY Stick

How To Make Your New Year's Resolution ACTUALLY Stick

Hey Derek here and it's almost New Year's!

That time of year where some of us get super motivated to turn over a new leaf while the rest of us complain about the inevitable lack of commitment of the January resolutioners.

As much as I personally don’t like stereotypical New Year’s resolutions - those which tend to fill the gyms in January only to be abandoned less than a month later - I do think that New Years’ offers a great opportunity for a “fresh start” that we can take advantage of if we do it right.

Biofeedback Flexible Dieting 101 [+ Rach's BFD FDOE & BFD Daily VLOG]

Biofeedback Flexible Dieting 101 [+ Rach's BFD FDOE & BFD Daily VLOG]

Biofeedback Flexible Dieting is designed for men and women with experience calorie tracking and macro counting who are sick of being stuck with no option for achieving their desired body composition while still eating the foods they love WITHOUT tracking calories.

Others can absolutely use this approach, but it is specifically created with this audience in mind. 

Unlike most of our other programs, Biofeedback Flexible Dieting is created specifically as a diet plan to stick to for a prescribed period of time and then to transition onto another plan for maintenance.
