Long-term health and sustainable weight loss do not happen through self-hatred, restriction, deprivation, and willpowering against your instincts. And it breaks my heart to see the psychological and physical pain people are ready to go through whilst chasing their desired weight to "be healthier and happier". Do you know what's healthier than going on a diet and losing a bunch of weight? Taking the time you need to build solid healthy habits and heal your relationship with food and your body - that stuff carries for life. So in all the abundance of nutritional information out there how do you find out what's right for you? I believe that the only way to find out - is to connect to your own body wisdom and to understand the feedback your body is giving you in response to different actions you take towards it. With hundreds of hours of research in nutrition, physiology, behavior, and psychology I can guarantee that healthy habits and sustainable weight loss are a consequence of feeling good in your body. In other words - if the behaviors you want to adopt do not bring you joy - they won't stay with you. Hi, I am Olena - a certified Health and Life Coach and a Master of Habit change and I want to break you free from the chains of the dieting industry. I want you to live a fulfilling life, healthy, energized, and feel fabulous in your body. Long-term health and keeping off weight are marathons - they are not to be achieved with quick-fix solutions. And in this course I am not going to tell you what to eat, what not to - instead, I will focus on a less-discussed aspect of healthy eating and lifestyle - it is the HOW of doing it.
This 5 step system to "transforming your relationship with food without changing what you eat" will help you adopt healthy eating and movement habits to lose weight and keep it off naturally and effortlessly. It is not some random diet that requires drastic changes in your daily routine and lifestyle. Small, pleasurable steps to make you look better, have more energy, have a better mood, get better sleep, get in shape, become more productive. But with so much less effort and willpower needed than in any conventional diet you know. What I am offering you to go through is not a quick-fix solution - this is a pathway to LASTING TRANSFORMATION. Breaking and building habits take much longer than 21 day or 31 or 66.

The more AWARENESS and PRESENCE you bring to each meal, the LESS you’ll need to eat. AND the less AWARENESS and PRESENCE you bring to each meal, the MORE you’ll need to eat.

You've made it to the last small step of the system! Congratulations! If you follow through on the action steps outlined in this program - be sure - the results won't keep you waiting long. Your body already knows what is best for you - your job is to start listening. It is not going to happen overnight, no way. But every day or week you will be more and more aware of the new signals and signs your body is giving you.
I love the quote by Henry Ford that says: "Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right". So what do you think? Can you change your lifestyle and become the happiest and healthiest version of yourself? The first step to changing any habit is to believe that it is possible. All the great inventions happened because someone created a vision in their head and made it come true. That's why it is so important to visualize your goals.
Creating changes that last takes awareness, strong internal motivation, and the belief that YOU ARE CAPABLE AND COMMITTED TO CHANGE.
Your small step for this video is to imagine and describe the version of you that already has what you want. I will guide you through a short meditation that will help you meet the future you and you have some room in the workbook to write your thoughts afterward. I want you to close your eyes right now and take a deep breath all the way to your belly. Hold on top and slowly release all the air out. Keep breathing, consciously. Relax your jaw and space between eyebrows. Relax your shoulders. Keep breathing deep. You have a strong intention to evolve and better yourself - and that's not what many people have desire to do ever. Keep breathing. Inhale, exhale.
I always tell my clients that conscious breaths are inspirations - each inhale is a fresh possibility, new perspective, inspiration. You can get unstuck at any moment by changing the quality of your breath. So as you breathe in - inhale a fresh possibility, new thoughts; as you exhale - exhale any self-judgment, expectations, the inner critic, and thoughts that are no longer serving you. Inhale confidence and compassion, exhale worry and judgment.
Now, imagine the person you are going to be in the future. What does this person, the future you, look like? Notice how this person stands, what this person is wearing. Get a sense of this person’s essence. Notice how the space around her looks like. What kind of person lives in that space? What are the colors of this place? Is anyone else there?
I now want you to put your fingers into her finger slots, your toes into her toe slots, your heart into her heart space. See with her eyes, feel what she feels. You are that person now.
“Take a look around. Where are you? What do you see? Who are you with? Notice the sounds. Are people talking to you? Notice what they are saying.”
“You might notice how easy it is to clear out all of the emotional clutter, all of the negativity and resistance, AND you are choosing to relax into the best version of yourself. This self is not just a thriving head on top of a body. Your head and heart, your thoughts & feelings are all in alignment with one another.” “Feel how incredibly blessed you are to have this beautiful body that serves you so well BECAUSE you GET to feel. Notice the thoughts you are thinking. What is this future you saying about herself?
“As you inhale and exhale, notice how everything is going well for you. Notice how it feels to be taking such good care of your body and honoring yourself. You are setting healthy boundaries for you and others in your life, and you feel lighter and more freedom as a result.”
“Like a dial on a stereo, we’re going to turn up the volume on your senses. Scan your senses…what you see, hear, feel, smell, taste, and intuit. Allow yourself to REALLY feel into your body’s experience, it is a miracle to have a body” “Perhaps you are attuned to the pleasure of feeling so engaged, of feeling lighter, and tighter....AND you smile to yourself because you taste your power from within.” “It’s also possible you realize you are the only you that will ever be born. Why not be the best version of you that you can be, because only you can offer the gifts to the world that are uniquely yours?”
What is she feeling? Seeing? Doing? She came a long and tough way to get to that place where she feels energized and confident in her personal and professional life, where she feels loved, safe, and fulfilled. She has learned a lot about herself along the way - her strengths and weaknesses, needs, and desires. She is proud of where she is right now and she knows she isn't stopping to evolve and improve anytime soon. She knows that we all are work in progress. She is confident and proud.
“See yourself, allow yourself to claim this power, YOUR power. And as you consciously choose to make life-giving choices for yourself around food, people, thoughts, and movement, you get in a groove where you are truly unstoppable. You feel more radiant, alive, and on purpose.” “You tell yourself, ‘yes, I feel so freakin’ good right now. I am ready for anything.’ Allow that beautiful energy, like a golden ball of light, to penetrate every cell of your body… organically fashioning you into the truth of who you are, have always been, and always will be, (name).” “Take a few deep breaths integrating this feeling of aliveness, having taken good care of your body, honouring your desires, setting boundaries, oxygenating your cells with fresh energy and this time please answer the following question out loud, 'What would this future version tell the you here now about self care?”
Say it out loud. Beautiful. Go ahead and bring that knowing back to the you here now. Wiggle your butt. You can open your eyes now. Feel your toes. How was that for you? write your thoughts on the blank spaces in the work book and i will see you in the next video!
