Negative thinking: How to stop it and change the way you feel
How many hours a day do you spend in stressful thinking? One hour, six hours, 12 hours? When I ask people this question, they’ll usually say, “Oh, maybe an hour.” And trust me, that is a huge underestimation! We've become so accustomed to our level of negative thinking that we don't even notice it anymore. Conversely, when I ask people how many hours of their waking day they spend in a quiet, peaceful mind, they’ll say: “Oh, I’m lucky if it’s an hour”. That means all other hours of the day - let’s say 15 waking hours - is being spent in stressful thinking. So how does constant, long term negative thinking really impact us, and how do we stop it? Today, I’m taking you through the biochemical effects of negative thinking, how to identify common negative thought patterns and how you can break the cycle to change the way you feel. By paying attention to our internal dialogue and choosing to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, we can radically transform our mental and physical well-being. Remember, it really is a choice. You have the power to reclaim your thoughts and in turn, your life.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com

Why you can't control your hunger or appetite
It's ingrained in our culture to believe that losing weight is simply a matter of eating less and exercising more. But anyone who's tried this route knows the intense cravings and hunger that can so often follow.Think of your body as having a metabolic control centre—a command hub that regulates hormones influencing your appetite, cravings, and even how much energy you expend. While we can't directly control this metabolic centre, we can influence the signals it receives. Stress, poor sleep, and inappropriate eating patterns can send harmful signals, which makes your body switch to glucose over body fat as an energy source. By reducing stress and prioritising relaxation, you create a safe environment for your body to burn body fat for fuel.Ultimately, we need to shift our perspectives from self-blame to a broader understanding of the many external factors that influence our metabolism. Only then can make informed lifestyle changes that support our overall health and help manage our hunger more effectively.LINKSFurther Training: https://vesnahrsto.com/join-evolution-webinar Double Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com

3-Step Hormone Reset To Lose Weight, Build Muscle & Increase Your Energy
It’s that time of year again! If you’re like most people out there, you’re probably experiencing that universal feeling of sluggishness –possibly due to a bit of celebrating or a disrupted exercise routine.Maybe you've been socialising, overindulging and noticing some unwanted weight gain creeping in. You had those goals to lose weight this year, but life happened, right? But don’t worry - hope is not lost. I’m taking you through a 3-step hormone reset plan we use in my programs that has helped so many women do things a little differently and find success in their journey to losing weight.It's pivotal to understand that after 35, hormonal shifts make weight loss more challenging and weight gain easier. Women in particular see changes due to hormonal imbalances and stress, both significant factors in weight management.Additionally, modern diets and poor food quality, filled with preservatives and processed ingredients, work against us by inducing nutritional deficiencies that slow metabolism. Constant dieting or having a "diet mentality" doesn’t help either, as these approaches can deteriorate metabolic health over time.The 3-Step Hormone ResetSo, let’s take a look at the three key systems to focus on in order to nourish the hormones responsible for a super fast metabolism:Revitalising the AdrenalsSupporting the Pancreas and LiverNourishing the ThyroidIt is possible to reach your weight loss goals, all while enjoying a balanced, satisfying diet. But as I always say, this journey is most importantly about repairing your metabolism, with weight loss as a welcoming side effect. If this approach resonates with you and you'd like to delve deeper, I've put together a comprehensive training session on these three phases. You'll find the link to this below, offering detailed guidance on achieving a revitalised, vibrant you.LINKSFull training: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6hka4XUYT4S3NHNIjRxZugWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout

Five Essential Self-Care Habits for Business Owners to End the Year Strong
Are you beginning to slow down a little?It’s hard to believe it’s this time of year again but here we are - Christmas is around the corner and 2025 is fast approaching! But before you bring 2024 to a complete close, now is the perfect opportunity to reflect, recharge, and set the stage for a new year. To help you end the year strong, I’m sharing five essential self-care habits that you can tap into now while the pace of business begins to slow down. Prioritise Regular Pathology TestingAs business owners, it’s easy to push personal health needs to the back burner. But this is your reminder not to wait until it’s too late. Make Sleep Non-Negotiable I always tell my clients the secret to re-energising is the "Power of Eight before Ten." Aim to be in bed by 10 pm and get yourself a full eight hours of sleep.Take a Creativity DayI encourage my private clients to take a full day once a year to completely disconnect from digital distractions. Yes, that means no phones or laptops allowed! Commit to Personal Coaching or MentorshipDecember might be a hectic month, but it's also a great time to set clear intentions for the coming year. Energise Through SocialisingAs things slow down, take advantage of this period to reconnect with family and friends. Feel the energy boost that genuine social interactions offer, rather than viewing them as draining tasks you need to escape. These five habits are my top recommendations for closing out the year strong and paving the way for an even better one to follow. The creativity day may require more time and commitment, but it’s worth the effort. I’d love to hear which habit you’ll join me in adopting for an incredible end to the year. Here’s to finishing strong and starting 2025 with vitality and purpose!LINKSDouble Your Energy Masterclass:https://peak-revival.captivate.fm/yt-masterclassWebsite: www.vesnahrsto.com Mentioned in this episode:Buh-Bye Burnout
