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!

Gratitude: The One Tool You Need To Resist Anything Without Feeling Deprived

You may be able to keep up deprivation through sheer willpower for weeks, months or even years at a time, but at some point losing control is inevitable. Feelings of deprivation are simply not part of a sustainable fat loss system.

So… the question is, how do we fix this? Obviously we can’t just eat whatever we want to eliminate deprivation – that doesn’t work for fat loss. Likewise, simply using willpower to avoid eating anything “bad” doesn’t work either because the deprivation created by this method inevitably results in a rebound.

What we need is a solution that eliminates deprivation WHILE still allowing fat loss.

The solution is gratitude.

Preferentially, what allows me to adhere easily to my nutrition plan (especially when in a caloric deficit if the goal is fat-loss), is delaying my breakfast until closer to lunch (Intermittent Fasting). Along with eating lighter in the first part of the day, I usually save my carbs until early evening (mostly post-workout).
