    287. How To Be Awesome At Not Being Tired All The Time

    I feel like most people would say they tired. Today, yesterday, most days. 

    I’m really interested in this.

    Are we actually tired or are we sort of not excited by what we are doing most days?

    And if we are tired, is it because the days are too full and we are doing too many things orrrr is it because we aren’t setting ourself up to feel rested and rejuvenated. 

    Either way, we need to solve it because we can’t complain that we are tired and not do anything to change it. 

    In this episode, let’s figure out what’s up.  Are you actually tired or are you overwhelmed or underwhelmed with life right now?

    The awesome news - I’m sharing strategies for tackling both. 

    Let’s get you un-tired so you can be where your feet are and live your days fully. 



    First, let’s figure out why you’re tired. 

    1.  Actually tired

    Strategies- get more sleep, get better sleep, hydrate with electrolytes, no screen before bed, no food just before bed, create best sleep environment, stick to a schedule. 

    2.  Not excited with life / overwhelmed / underwhelmed 

    Strategies- ask yourself the hard questions 
    Make the changes you need to, have the conversations you need to, do the things you know you should. 


    3.  In this lazy habit pattern 
    Just like momentum brings momentum, non-momentum brings non-momentum

    Strategies- small steps to move more - get going - exhaust yourself 


    CHEERS to getting un-tired and living your most full life.

    286. Your Awesome Grocery List For High Protein & Whole Foods Eating

    286. Your Awesome Grocery List For High Protein & Whole Foods Eating

    Today we are taking the complicated out of eating mostly whole foods and high protein at home in a way that makes you feel full and energized. It’s taken me so many years of learning and spending money on experts to help me figure it all out.
    Now every persons body is different of course but I’m sharing lots of ideas of you to chose from to eat in a way that reduces inflammation in your body and helps you be your healthiest and can help you lose weight, all while feeling satisfied. 
     
    I’m giving you a grocery list to follow to make it all simple and not so complicated. 
     
    Because this is what I know… most people aren’t eating enough protein and are eating too much processed foods. Most people say they are tired and often times we want to  healthier but it’s hard to know where to start. I also know that we must have a strong plan in order to stick to our goals.
     
    So this is our plan for eating to feel our best in the short term and long term. Eating for energy and longevity and the part I think that most people miss with this - buying organic and grass fed items are always more expensive than the regular but if you prep it the right way, it is absolutely less expensive than ordering in. 
     
    And if you know me you know there are some awesome healthy treats in the plan too, because that’s what makes it sustainable in the long term. We are full and satisfied and know it’s not at all a diet, but rather a lifestyle to feel our best.
     
    Let’s go! 
     
     
    Here is your grocery list
     
    *Grassfed ground beef or steaks 
    *Organic ground chicken or turkey 
    *Organic pasture raised eggs
    *1 organic butter lettuce 
    *1 organic head of iceberg lettuce 
    *1 organic rotisserie chicken 
    *Veggies like zucchini, onions, peppers 
    *Avocados (1 per day)
    *Berries 
    *2 large organic greek yogurts 
     
    Then some throw ins to make all of this sustainable 
    *Siete toritilla chips 
    *Grain free tortillas 
    *Grass fed organic cheese, raw if possible 
    *Organic dark chocolate 
    *Raw honey 
    *Bananas & peanut butter 
     
     
    And to cook it in… 
    *Avocado oil 
    *Coconut oil 
    *Olive oil 
     
    How to make the money go the furthest! 
     
    Protein amounts...
    An egg has 6g of protein 
    A chicken breast as about 40g of protein 
    One pound of ground beef has 65g of protein 
    Some seeds can be great too like hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds
     
    So if your goal is 1g of protein per pound of body weight- you can divide out how much protein you need per meal.
    My goal is 120g per day so I plan for about 40-50g per meal and I have 3 meals.
     
    I think the KEY to all of this is to base your meals around protein and mostly whole foods. Get some veggies and some carbs and you’re nice and full and happy! 
     
     
    Other options based on preferences!
    *Halibut or salmon -always wild caught 
    *Canned tuna or chicken 
    *Flax seeds and chia seeds 
    *Protein powders! 
     
     
    Take this list with you to the grocery store!

    284. How To Be Awesome At REALLY Not Caring What People Think

    284. How To Be Awesome At REALLY Not Caring What People Think

    You want to know the craziest thing about worrying what other people think of you?  With the amount of time and energy you spend worrying about what people might think if you do this or that, you could actually DO the thing.  
     
    You take control back of your life and your choices when you’re making them based on what you really want and what feels best to you. 
     
    You’ll take more risks, try new things and put yourself out there.
    Because we know that one day we will be 90 and we won’t have the opportunities that we have today, we just won’t.  Thinking about it that way makes it a lot less scary to let it go and go for it. 
     
    And another awesome thing that happens when you go for it and people do talk about you, it makes it easy… those aren’t your people.  Thank you for saving me the time. 
     
    And also thank you for making it clear where we’re at because I know that nobody ahead of me is taking the time to criticize me. 
     
    This concept of, stop caring about what other people think is easier said than done.  Today I’m giving you two awesome hacks to start today, to work towards the ultimate feeling of freedom- not caring what other people think of you. 
     
    A few notes from this episode… 
    -You only have so much energy - you could have actually done the thing!! Started the business, tried the new thing…. In the same effort it took to worry what would happen if you did. 
     
    -The upside of never trying is that you never have to feel the feeling of failure.
     
    -I will ensure my failure in private so I never have to risk failing in public. 
    They take the long failure rather than the short one. 
     
    -We aren’t afraid of failing!  We are afraid of what other people think of us failing. Imagine what other people are thinking if you aren’t doing anything, oh that’s right, they’re not. 
     
    -If you could fail in isolation, you wouldn’t care. 
     
    -If you’re insecure, you might as well use it to get something out of it.
     
    -The perfect condition is wherever you are at right now.
    If you feel like you have nothing, then you have nothing to lose. 
    There is always an advantage and disadvantage from every position. 

     
    -They won’t think of you at all if you aren’t doing anything and don't you want to be thought of?
     
    -You’re going to be 90. And it’s going to be too late to do anything.
     
    -You know I love thinking about my 90 year old self.  
    If you’ve spent time with old people, they don’t give an F- in the best way. They are wearing socks with sandals in the way they want, they are 
     
    -Seeing someone old and no time to do the things is the only motivation I need. 
     
    -You know how you get good?  You just start doing what you want without the fear of judgment.  Like one tiny thing. 
    Like if music comes on at an outdoor restaurant and you think about dancing with your little kid because how sweet but you don’t because nobody else is and people might think you are weird. 
    But doing things that other people aren’t doing - usually means it’s actually a good idea but 66% of people say they are unhappy.
     
    -So not doing it because other people aren’t isn’t the right plan!!
     
    -Here’s the hacks!!  
     
    1.ONE. TINY. THING.  And then you see that you don’t die. And you had fun dancing and just doing what you wanted. 
     
    Or wearing something different than everyone else because it’s comfortable and you love how it feels… and then it’s just fine.
     
    You build momentum!!
     
     
    2.  You make it a clear priority and remind yourself often. 
     
    Journal it, calendar it, write it down. 
    The more you make it a priority to work towards, the faster you will get there. 
     
     
     
    -Here’s another thing - call out your fails.  Now what can they say.
     
    -AGREE when someone says something you didn’t do right.  Takes the fire out of it.
     
    -OR agree just to end it. Who cares!?
     
     
    -Their respons

    283. How To Be Awesome At Managing Health With A Broken Healthcare System

    283. How To Be Awesome At Managing Health With A Broken Healthcare System

    You know I focus on the positive always and even though this title might not sound positive, it’s empowering to call things what they are and make a plan to proceed in the best way possible. 
     
    Rather than getting mad about the way things are, we have to recognize what we can control and what is out of our control and make a plan with based on that. 
     
    This isn’t just about avoiding disease and living as long as possible. 
     
    It’s that but it’s also how to have more energy and strength now and as we age.  How to feel sharp and healthy. 
     
    I don’t think it’s even controversial anymore to say that the traditional healthcare system is not set-up to keep us healthy and prevent disease. 
     
    It’s set-up to treat symptoms rather than the cause and lean heavily on medication rather than considering lifestyle and natural options first. 
     
    I’m all for medications and treatments when needed- I just think it’s not a great system when there is so much money in treating illnesses and there isn’t a lot of money in getting people healthy or finding cures. 
     
    Today we’re looking at the health landscape as it is now and making the best plan for us and our families. 
     
    This new outlook involves shifting from sick care to well care and reactive medicine to proactive medicine. 
     
    For the last 15 years, I have spent so much time in hospitals and doctors offices, and I think I come with a unique perspective… sometimes as a patient, but usually taking care of other people.
     
    In Tony Robbins new book… 
    Life Force - they explain new technologies like gene therapy, stem cells and hormone replacement therapy to give the audience hope and knowledge for the future. 
     
    He talks about how heart disease and other chronic illnesses can be reversed by optimizing four factors.
     
    How you eat 
    How active you are 
    How you respond to stress
    How much emotional support you receive
     
    We have the power to control so much of our health and heart health. 
    Exercise, eating the right foods, quality sleep, building muscle and reducing stress.
     
    Good health is the foundation of quality of life. 
     
    As the old saying goes, a healthy person has a thousand wishes; a sick person only one. 
     
    It’s a powerful reminder to make the most important commitment you can make.  
      
    You must become the CEO of your health. 
     
    That’s how you keep your energy, vitality and a good quality of life.  
     
    A few of my other favorite books on this topic are Outlive by Peter Attia, Lifespan by David Sinclair, and Super Human by Dave Asprey. 
     
    We’ve learned that you must continually challenge the status quo and find what’s best for you. 

     
    By understanding that you must be in control of your health and by not expecting the traditional healthcare system to take on this role… you will make better decisions for your own health and out of your family.

    282. How To Be Awesome At Figuring Out Your Impossible Goal

    282. How To Be Awesome At Figuring Out Your Impossible Goal

    Talking about one of my favorite books- 10x IS EASIER THAN 2X
    By Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben Hardy 
     
    Excerpt from the book:
    What is a 10x goal? 
    A massive goal that feels impossible. 
    Doing more of what you’re currently doing will get you to 2x. 
    10x goals require a new plan and push you outside of your current level of knowledge and assumptions. 
     
    To figure out your 10x goal, as yourself… 
    What do you truly want, more than anything else? 
    What would excite you more than anything else to be, do and have? 
    What would you be and do if you weren’t afraid of what others thought or the repercussions? 
     
    -Let’s focus on wants vs needs 
     
    When you live life based on need, you’re stuck playing a finite game. When you play a finite game, you’re driven and controlled by outside forces. You’re competing for scarce resources. 
     
    When you live life based on want, rather than need, you’re playing an infinite game. You see that reality is created and chosen.
     
    In order to go 10x, we have to let go of scarcity and competition-based needing and replace it with abundance and creativity-based wanting. 
     
    -Focusing on FREEDOM! 
     
    Committing to what you want most is the only way to be free. 
     
    To be free, you must first be completely honest with yourself.  Being honest with yourself starts with admitting to yourself what you want most. 
     
    Not what you think you want.
    Not what you think you need. 
    But what you truly- at your core-want. 
     
    Until you can admit and commit to what you want, then you are not free. 
     
    Living in a world of needs and rationalizations is prison. It locks you into relationships and situations you don’t want but maintain out of fear and perceived security or obligation. 
     
     
     
    Llet’s think about what you are doing now… 




     
     
    Anything you are currently pursuing. Ask yourself what is the source of that...
    Where did you get that idea? Is it from your parents? Is it from social media? Is it because your friend did something or because your friend got promoted?
    OR did you get that idea because it makes you FEEL ALIVE?
     
    It takes work to unlearn what we’ve been taught and put ear plugs in so we don’t hear the judgment or the opinions of others.
     
     
    It’s our job to make sure we are running our own race. 
     
    We have to be intentional about what success means to us and stop at nothing to get there.
     
     
    -Once you have it down, what next… 


     
    Start with your 10x goal, then figure out the steps, not the other way around.

     
     
    When we are working towards 2x goals, we are doing the same thing, just more of it.
    When we are working towards 10x goals, we must completely shake up the plan. 
    So rather than starting with step 1 and making a plan, we start with the massive goal in mind, then figure out a plan to make it happen.

    Have an awesome day!

So appreciate you!

Very sorry to hear about the loss of your father! Thank you for your vulnerability and thank you for reminding us to be intentional with our time and who we choose to spend it with!

JJLEERAE ,

Lindsay is the Best!!!

Somehow she seems to come out with a podcast that directly correlates to a current situation in my life. She is so positive and fun. I looooove her, she inspires me and when I need to “take a beat” (as she says) I turn her podcast on and it turns my day around for the better! Thank you Lindsay!!!

Happy2beMrs.E ,

This podcast has changed my life!

I am so grateful I found Lindsay’s podcast. I feel like her topics and what she specifically talks about in her podcasts speaks right to me. I love her outlook and her ethos on things. She challenges you and asks you to tackle problems a little different than we are used to, but none of it is far fetched. She encourages and motivates you to be better but stays realistic and compassionate to her listener. I already just adore her and know this podcast will become a trusted, comforting friend. 10/10 would recommend!
