    Do you sometimes wish that there could be ways to shed some weight without having to go to the gym or doing heavy exercise?

    One of the reasons you gain extra weight is stress; and it could happen anytime, whether we like it or not. If we could only find a way to handle our stress better, we could also reduce our chances of gaining weight.

    Gladly, there is a really basic and convenient way to avoid getting those unwanted pounds.

    Join me today as I share with you the magic of breathing exercises and how it benefits not only your mental but also your physical wellbeing. Learn how to do it using quick and easy steps!

    What you will learn from this episode:

    Learn how our unhealthy relationship with stress ultimately leads to weight gain;Find out how you can nurture both your mind and your body by means of simple breathing techniques; andDo it yourself: Get a step-by-step guide on how to do diaphragmatic breathing exercises

    ā€œBreathing is not only essential to our survival and one of the most important ways that we physiologically detox, eliminating toxins and waste from our body; but breathing is also a really powerful way to regulate our nervous system.ā€ ā€“ Dr. Adrienne Youdim

    Todayā€™s Health Bite:

    When we engage in intentional breathing, we activate the vagus nerve, this nerve that connects the gut to the mind and to the heart. Deep breaths will trigger the parasympathetic nervous system and transmit that information to the brain and to the cardiovascular system, which then responds by slowing the heart rate, dilating the blood vessels so that the blood pressure comes downShort and shallow breathing, like when we do when we're anxious or scared, will inflate just the upper areas of the lung and actually stimulate the receptors that are associated with the sympathetic nervous response. So, you are perpetuating that fight or flight when we take short, choppy breaths; whereas deep breathing stimulates the vagus nerve and activates that relaxation response of the parasympathetic nervous system.

    Have you ever thought that despite knowing all the things, why is it that you don't actually do all the things? Why does knowing not necessarily translate into doing? If you've had that experience, you are not alone, but it sure can be frustrating.

    But don't be, because on today's episode, I'm going to discuss the barriers to taking action. and provide you with six actionable steps on how to overcome these all-too-common barriers, including resistance, procrastination, and lack of motivation.

    I'm resharing this episode because it was so, so impactful for so many of you, and one of the most downloaded episodes since last summer. If you've already heard it, I encourage you to listen again.

    We learn to incorporate knowledge with repetition, and this might just be the thing you need to hear to translate all that knowing into doing.

    This week, Iā€™m tackling another major barrier that people often face on their journey to healthy change: finding and maintaining motivation. No one will feel motivated 100% of the time, but there are some things you can do to help find and maintain your motivation to do difficult things.

    Highlights:

    The false assumption is that being motivated means youā€™ll be inherently driven every single day.Why itā€™s important to manage your expectations about motivation.Identifying your ā€œWhyā€ and drawing motivation from it.How you can maintain motivation through reminders.Ways to maintain motivation by building awareness and presence through writing.How creating a routine can help build motivation.Aligning with the feeling of achievement and success to maintain and build motivation.
