So blatantly obvious that the big sales push only ever comes when she needs money to support one of her many crappy and expensive life decisions.

Subject : Mindfulness 101 💭


Mindfulness is a buzz word now, and I use it all the time in The Furnace when talking about nutrition - but what does it really mean?



According to Google, ‘Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens.’



I like to describe acting mindfully as the space between your intent and your actions.



E.g. You smell pizza and immediately want one (intent) and you either get one or you don’t (action)



The effort of consideration is what I would call being mindful.



One of the very first things I ask my clients to do is to get clear on their values and goals.



When you are clear on your values, you can be mindful of them when making any decisions.



Like in the above example, if your health is a top value, you might pause after you intend to get the pizza and remember that the pizza is not the healthiest choice at the time, so you don’t get it.



Mindfulness is beneficial in all areas of life. How often do we offend somebody because we want the upper-hand in an argument?



It is natural to feel the intent to hurt somebody back when they offend you, but if you just take a moment between the intent and the action, you can stop things spiralling or save a relationship.



Acting mindfully allows for rational thoughts and actions, instead of irrational ones.



If we get into a practice of stopping to ask ourselves:



“Is this true?”



“Why?”



“What would this look like from another perspective?”



“Is this in line with my goals and values?“,



we can be more satisfied and accepting of the results of our actions because we actually gave them some thought.



Mindfulness takes practice.



You have to try.



Journaling and meditation are both useful tools for slowing down and becoming more aware of our thoughts and what is important to us.



For me, it made a huge difference to my attitude to nutrition and my body.



It didn’t mean that I never had pizza - it meant that when I did have it, it was because I really did want it and not just because it was Sunday, or because somebody else was eating it.



I became kinder to myself with regards to my body image because I would have thoughts about being “fat, guilty, bad” etc but once I journaled and took some space to consider it they were true, I realised I was having irrational thoughts.



This is what helped me feeling happy and healthy in the long run. Of course the basics of fat loss is a calorie deficit but it’s the mindset around it that leads to long term results.



That’s why The Furnace has three “spokes” - Training, Nutrition and Mindset.



It costs €99 per month for 3 months or a once of payment of €259 - and you won't need another diet plan after that!

I become irate when she discusses these items like she has a clue of the complexity of how the human mind works because she read a couple of books. It's all of the influencers really talking about mindset etc with zero qualification to do so and only ever twisting information to suit their narrative.

Also she's not finding out the baby's gender 🥰 so much better than everyone who does. For the childs sake I hope it's a boy, imagine shiv in DIRECT competition with her daughter in 18 years time for who's the coolest/funniest/most not like the other girls.

Lol she’s defo finding out the gender. She just won’t say anything online until she fucks up one day and then back tracks saying that she was going to find out but only tell close family and fri… actually she has no close friends.. so just family

If she’s gonna try to write an ‘intellectual’ email she should try understanding it herself first….clearly doesn’t understand the meaning of ‘intent’. She’s talking about desire. Idiot.

You are absolutely right. I didn't make it the whole way through the email. She is a terrible writer. Her emails are very hard to follow and you can hear the patronising tone.

They are about her... I do this, I think this, I tell my clients this. She could write them from the perspective of the client....Has this ever happened to you? Could you be feeling this way... perhaps this could work for you...But she can't because she has no empathy.
