What used to be a common practice, setting new year's resolutions, has really fallen out of favor becoming yet another casualty of our cultures black & white thinking. So I’d like to offer an alternative for this year with the caveat that while it’s great to think about new goals at the beginning of the new year it’s also important to remember that we can update them anytime. We can make intentional changes and choices anytime in your personal and professional life. And I’d argue that we should if we want to continue to grow and change for the better. Without those conscious changes, at some point we start to stagnate.

So I’d like to introduce you to the concept of flex and flow…

My guest today is Brian Berneman. He is a well being leader, international speaker host of the conscious action podcast and as a holistic coach and co founder of conscious action and you being you he helps people discover a conscious way of living and how to have a positive impact in the world. Today on the work in we'll be exploring how to use the mind body connection in order to take conscious action towards your goals in the new year, among many, many other things.

I’m so excited to kick off this season of intention and attention in all things business, mindset and fitness for coaches and clients alike. Today’s episode is a reintroduction of sorts. I thought it would be a good time to set expectations going forward and frame or reframe my own business pivot outside of this podcast and share some of my own core beliefs both personally and professionally.

As I look forward to 2023 I’m contemplating what’s next for season 3 of The Work IN and what’s next for me both personally and professionally. Every year I try to learn/do/explore something new as a way to grow and break out of those ruts and samskaras in the mind. It’s not exactly a new year's resolution and not exactly goal setting, not exactly a vision board either but something that falls somewhere in the middle. I have several ideas for 2023. Some of them have already begun. And that has me thinking about change in general and the energy and mindset around it.

Today we’re talking about fuel for energy beyond the physical body. How to personalize the prescription on our plate for the best energy and nourishment. Our body is how we interact with the world so it’s important to take care of it. It is our vehicle. When something goes wrong in one system it affects all the other systems. So how can we fuel and nourish it in a way that supports our energy beyond just physical? The question most fit pros get more than any other (myself included) how should I eat? What should I eat? What’s the best diet if I want to get x,y,z? So let’s start our work IN.

Albert Einstein said: “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

So if you believe in science you can believe in the subtle energetics of the body., right?

Welcome back. I’ve been busy the past few weeks and months preparing for our Shakti Encounter retreat coming up on November 12. So I thought I would take a few episodes and introduce you to some of the concepts that we’ll be exploring there.
