Mindset Around Perceived Failures

Move forward, reflect and learn from both major and minor setbacks, as opposed to focusing on them as failures. We do not believe in failures. We either succeed or we learn.  In keeping this mindset, and seeing things this way, we reduce the feelings of guilt and other negative emotions that may prolong or increase the intensity of setbacks preventing us from ever reaching our goals. Instead, this mindset allows us to consistently get back on track without hesitation, low motivation or a sense of failure.

As time progresses and this mindset is reinforced, setbacks tend to become seemingly less likely to occur – because they’re no longer seen or felt as failures, they’re seen and experienced as obstacles and opportunities.  Obstacles, they are great learning opportunities and grow from overcoming them.

We practice forgiveness and compassion and we encourage others to do the same.  Together we can then focus on getting back in line with our commitments as soon, as the very next meal or workout.

I aim to create a safe, judgment-free environment where people are free to explore their nutrition and emotional responses to food.  People will make mistakes, and I am there to support them in reflecting on and learning from those mistakes without judging them.

As a coach, I’m an ally who will walk with you along your journey. I’m a friend who will help you see the good in you – even when you cannot see it yourself.

Are you done with diets and food fads? Do you want to transform your body and your relationship with nutrition, and are you willing to put in the hard work to accomplish your goals?

I offer a program specifically tailored to help you break big goals down into small, actionable steps that you can do every day, easily in order to build sustainable healthy habits without feeling miserable about it. As a diet agnostic, I won’t tell you what to eat no matter what kind of diet you prefer.  ProCoaching is a program that works, even for people who think they hate health and nutrition:

Moderation

We are not robots.

Processed foods have been manufactured to be everything we want and crave – literally on a fundamentally human, hormonal-based researched, basic instinct level.  This is why they are so irresistible to us.  Never eating a chip, or a donut cannot and should not be expected of you – by you or your coach.

Instead we aim for and encourage moderation. If we had to put a number on it (and we don’t), lets aim for at least 85% – 90% of our intake to be real, nutrient dense, minimally processed, whole foods.   You know… Real food.

Then we can then fill the 10% – 15% left over with the less nutrient options we love to eat.  And these numbers, or percentages are not set in stone. It’s a continuum where the more real food the better, but there’s room for the stuff we love too.  This approach is flexible and allows you to consistently aim for better, making it sustainable for most of us.

I am consistently encouraging an increase in the amounts of high quality food sources that will maximize our intake of nutrients and micronutrients.  As an added benefit, most real foods lead to higher levels of satiation and satisfaction, fewer cravings for junk foods, and a healthier sense of overall well-being.

Lets think about moderation and living on a continuum, instead of aiming for perfection.
