AiF 3: Life vs Intermittent Fasting

11m · Adventures In Fasting · 07 Jul 14:47

It's easy to make perfect decisions on a Sunday night, when we are planning the week (especially if we have had a not particularly healthy weekend). But what happens when your priorities shift? Before you know it, it's Friday afternoon and you've had a rotten week, and there is a pretty unhealthy night out that you could go to to if you weren't being the paragon of virtue that you planned to be on Sunday night? Don't fall into the trap of putting that down to you being defective or a willpower weakling. There are more intelligent, more subtle ways to deal with this that allow you to both maximise your health and have a life. Now that sounds good!

AiF 4: What Severance Has To Teach Us About Fasting

Book a 20 minute chat with me In this episode, I talk about what The series Severance, starring Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, has to teach us about how to make any kind of fasting an easier, more empowering experience. No spoilers included (I cover no more than the trailer) - and no need to have watched the programme itself to get something out of this episode. In Severance, employees of the ominous Lumon corporation choose to have a chip implanted in their brains that severs their work consciousness from the person they are outside the office.  I was inspired by this consciousness split to explore a problem that I see many people having with fasting. Imagine severing your consciousness every time you fast. You get to avoid the discomfort, because you have outsourced going through that discomfort to - let’s call them - ‘Fasting You’. This reminded me of a concept I heard the writer David McRaney talk about - Now You vs Future You. It is a kind of severance - minus the sci fi. On 1st January, millions allocate their health to Future You…the only problem being that Future You inevitably turns into Now You. You know Now You - they are the ones with resistance and minor obstacles like, er, life that get in the way of their goals. I talk about this and what I see as the alternative to this Now You vs Future You schism. Resources Book a 20 minute chat with me   Fasting Game Starter Guide   Severance trailer   Cheers now!

Heads up! 30th June is my first talk free on Zoom; The Secret To No-struggle Fasting. Make sure you get your link here Welcome to Adventures in Fasting (formally Motivational fasting) I'm Harriet Morris, and whether you're looking to start your very first intermittent fast this week, or you want to optimise your extended day fasting, you've come to the right place. Think of each episode as a rocket fuelled booster pack for your motivation. We are designed by mother nature to be able to fast, but I've noticed that human beings make fasting so much more difficult than it needs to be. I have been coaching binge eating and sugar addicts for over 8 years and now I want to help you leverage the greatest tool for health available - fasting - in whatever form works for you.  The great news is that while it is a challenge, it doesn't have to be a struggle. Do it right, and fasting can get easier the more you do that.  How? by stopping struggling and turning it into an adventure. Join the Facebook group   

14: What David Bowie Teaches Us About Fasting

Heads Up! https://www.theshiftinside.com/fasting-game/ This podcast is soon to be changing its name to The Fasting Game Get your free Starter Guide to The Fasting Game at the above link. DAVID BOWIE Amateur sounding vocalist…not outstanding…a singer devoid of personality…not particularly exciting. -BBC audition report for David Bowie and his band The Lower Third, from 1965 Four years before David Bowie exploded onto the pop scene in 1969 with Space Odyssey, this is what BBC music executives thought of his musical talent.  However, when we think of Bowie, we think: cultural icon, rock god, towering musical influence, edgy androgynous cultural boundary breaker. Bowie was so prolific that I have never met anyone who doesn't like at least one Bowie of his records. I don't think you can say the same about other musical icons of reinvention, like Elvis or Madonna. So what has Bowie got to teach us about fasting motivation? Here's what.   Lesson 1: Triumph of The Ordinary Lesson 2: He Leveraged His Imperfection Lesson 3: His Why Was Bigger Than His Fears In this episode, find out exactly how Bowie did all of these and the link with you making intermittent or extended day fasting easier and more motivating.
