Imagine waking to complete silence. There isn’t a mad rush, any distractions, and there is an absence of stress. Everything is calm.

You get out of bed relaxed and you perform a set of rituals that get you into a flow state – a state that puts your mind and body in complete control of your entire day. Maybe you enjoy your cup of coffee or maybe you name five things you’re thankful for in life.

The morning can be a time you enjoy – and it’s possible for anyone. I’m going to show you how to create a launch sequence for each morning that decreases stress and makes you calmly effective and in control for the rest of the day.

The Critical Thing Dr.Oz Left Out of His Butter Coffee Recipe (aka Bulletproof Coffee)

by

butter in coffee If you found my post on google, welcome! I hope this answers all your questions on Bulletproof Coffee, Intermittent Fasting and putting butter in your coffee. If not, leave a comment and I’ll get you an answer right away. If you want to learn more about Intermittent Fasting, check out my full Intermittent Fasting Guide.

In an episode of Dr. Oz, he explained how to make “rocket fuel” coffee in which he recommended replacing sugar in coffee with butter. Dr. Oz claimed the butter causes the caffeine to last longer in your body, which is true.

But it actually does much more than that.

You have probably heard about butter in coffee somewhere else if it wasn’t Dr. Oz. It’s becoming very popular. But butter in coffee is nothing new. Ethiopians are known to mix spiced butter into their coffee. A staple drink for Tibetans is yak butter vigorously churned into their hot tea to prevent the fat and water from separating. This is regarded as an essential source of energy and helps them flourish in their harsh, frigid climate. [Read more…]

“Lettuce Turnip the Beet®” – Elektra

We all want our kids to eat more vegetables, but most kids consume far less than they should. It can be a constant struggle  – “Finish your veggies then you can have dessert.” Ever say this? Bad idea. Research shows that children learn to prefer the reward food over the “have to eat” food. This is why it’s so important to offer tasty vegetables often and model healthy eating.

There are ways to get your kids to eat their greens…and enjoy them. Our kids will down a salad before you have a chance to put dressing on it (homemade dressing, of course). In fact, check out this video of Brixton eating some collard greens fresh from the garden.

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment” – Possibly The Buddha

The votes are in. This February for My21DayX I’ll be meditating every day for 21 days. When I first found out that this was the next experiment, I thought, how boring. But as I began to research it, my anticipation skyrocketed.

If you join me, by the end of the 21 days, your life may be completely different – with hopes of being more relaxed, more optimistic and have developed a healthful habit (among a bunch of other possible positive outcomes).

How to Become the Master of Your Dreams

by 1 Comment

“Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.”
– Thomas Edison

I can remember as a kid I would have this recurring dream where I would levitate my body and then fly through the sky, passing over buildings and people I knew. It was incredible and so vivid. Unfortunately, I haven’t had that dream for a really long time. But is it possible to bring it back?

From an evolutionary standpoint, we have to wonder why dreams have survived for so long – they must provide some type of survival mechanism.

Research is revealing insight into how dreams can actually make us healthier and more productive. Some research suggests, dreams are a way to work out problems and organize your memories. Think about how much information we process every day. We really don’t have the time or emotional strength to thoroughly process all this while we’re awake. Dreams allow us the opportunity to do just that. They act like a filing cabinet, organizing everything that went on in your day, allowing us to be more productive the following day. Interestingly, you can induce dreams to solve problems, influence nightmares, and even dream about a specific person or problem.
