Learn Speak Teach Episode #52 with Andrea Marcellus

Let’s be real: Are you tired of trendy workout regimens, not eating what you love, saying no thank you because you’re on diet, not enjoying your life, and still not getting anywhere?

Health and well-being can be so much easier to obtain than you even think. Every time you label food as ‘good and bad,’ you’re in effect, saying that the food will make you either good or bad. This not only makes you guilty but also impacts your self-worth. Instead, you can focus on what the food does, beneficial or non-beneficial, rather than whether it is good or bad. When you choose foods that are awesome and beneficial, you are choosing awesomeness and sending a signal to yourself that you’re only worth the most awesome things. Awesome means it generates energy and joy in you. Choosing it will help you improve your health and well-being.

You are awesome. Your body is awesome. You deserve success.

Andrea is a life strategist and fitness expert with 25 years of experience, a writer, actress, parent, friend and person just like everyone else who struggles to be and do all that they feel capable of and still have a respectable social life. Her mission is to help you climb out from under your to-do lists to discover what you’re truly capable of becoming and have the time to make it happen.
