T School Trimester Three

The third triad of T School is all about putting YOU at the center of your life!

So you want to make major changes in your life.  You’re learning to eat better- you’re leaner and getting stronger in your body.  You’re proud of the progress you’ve made and the tools you’ve developed to stay on top of your nutrition and fitness programs.

And then…. life happens.

Stress, family, the holidays…. Need we say more?  There’s nothing like a little extra on the life plate to unhinge your best intentions to staying true to your new healthy, leaner lifestyle.

First it’s a misstep- then a slip, into a forward tumble and then we’re completely off the tracks.

What happened?  Congratulations, you’re human.

Like anything worthwhile, habits require practice.  Although the third trimester of T School is all about creating the balance to celebrate being human, we’ve been developing that powerful practice from Day 1 of T School.

We know that unless we create a daily practice to help keep us centered and grounded, all of our best intentions are all too easily  sabotaged by the landmines of stress, fatigue, sleeplessness and hormonal imbalances.

We all know we need to take care of ourselves, but taking care of our ‘selves’ seems to be the last item on many of our to do lists.  This is a huge mistake.  Can you truly give to others in your life that rely on your love and support if you are spiritually and emotionally bankrupt yourself?

Loving ourselves is NOT selfish- in fact, it’s one of the most giving acts we can do.  By taking a few minutes in the morning, practicing your AM I AM ritual, you are lovingly creating a the day, the activities, the intention and generosity of each moment.  What could be more giving than that?

Here are some of our favorite T School resources to create rather than react to your life.  By taking a few minutes daily to be quiet, contemplative and grateful, we are able to transform our selves, our lives and the love we give and receive each day,  Now that’s what we call a magnificent return on investment!  This is what the AM I AM practice is all about.

Here’s our Top Five Resources to recharge your day.
(We’re so excited about this that we broke our rule to keeping it to three)

#1.  Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning S.A.V.E.R.S

Despite being dead for six minutes, in a coma for six days, breaking 11 bones and being told he may never walk again, Hal Elrod defied the logic of doctors and the temptations to be a victim, and he bounced back to prove that ALL of us are capable of overcoming extraordinary adversity to create extraordinary results in our personal and professional lives.

In addition to being one of the highest rated keynote speakers in America, Hal Elrod is the #1 bestselling author of what’s being widely regarded as one “one of the most life-changing books ever written,” The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life… (Before 8AM).

This book, and his Morning S.A.V.E.R.S explains the power of a morning ritual in helping ground, inspire, and focus us to be more mindful, productive, and well, happy!

P.S  Hal has a six minute Miracle Morning program too, so you DO have time!

#4. Think Up Positive Affirmation App

Affirmations are positive statements that describe a desired situation, which are often repeated, until they get impressed on the subconscious mind. This process, pushes the subconscious mind to take action and to strive to make the positive statement come true.When you know how to use affirmations, you get a great tool for achieving success and for improving your life.

Most people repeat in their minds negative words and statements concerning the situations and events in their lives, and consequently, create undesirable situations.

Words work both ways, to build or to destroy.

It is the way we use them that determines whether they are going to bring good or harmful results to our lives.Your subconscious mind accepts what you keep telling it. If you keep saying negative things, it attracts corresponding events and situations to your world.

So why not choose only positive statements in order to get positive results?

By using this process, consciously and intently, you influence your subconscious mind and in turn, it transforms your habits, behavior, attitude, and reactions to reshape your external life.

To help make this process simple AND powerful, we’ve chosen the ThinkUp App.

This app allows you to create a list of custom affirmations, record them in your own voice and create a personal meditation track.

There’s simply nothing more powerful than positive statements recorded in your own voice, set to music that motivates and inspires you to help you train your brain for greater health, vitality and happiness.

Try recording your own affirmations or choose from a list of topics for areas of your life you would like to improve. Listen to it during your AM I AM while stretching, in the car, or on a walk.

We don’t feed our bodies crap- It’s time to begin feeding our brains the right food too!
