SPEAKER_00:

Hello, welcome to the Deep Heartfelt Success Podcast. Success that feels even better on the inside than it looks on the outside. Hello, I'm Heidi, Heidi Mark, transformational coach for big-hearted, driven professionals who want more, more ease, more joy, more capacity to fully experience and enjoy the success you've worked so hard for. Because real success isn't just about achieving more. Although I'm sure you want more. It's about expanding our capacity to feel confident in it, to really enjoy it. It's time to start feeling the fulfilment, the freedom, and the ease you've worked so hard for. This is where traditional success ends and deep heartfelt success begins. Welcome to the adventure. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to this week's episode. Lovely to have you along for the ride with me. This week I'm thinking about something that clients say to me a lot and something I know I say and have always said quite a lot, and that is there's gotta be an easier way. There's gotta be an easier way, right? I want to do hard things, but I there's gotta be an easier way to do those things, to make those things happen. Otherwise, if it's all just get out of your comfort zone, toughen up, push on through, then that's not how I want to live, so that's not gonna work for me. So there's gotta be an easier way. And then I notice my mind doing this whole slight guilt thing over wanting things to be easier. Like that's just ridiculous. Why you that's lazy. So now I'm thinking of in these terms. I don't want things to be easy, I mean I do want a lot of things to be easy because I'm just bored of them and they're irritating. Like I would love if there was somewhere for everything in my house and it just kind of got put away, and then when I went to find something, it was where I think it should be, because I find that kind of thing tiresome, you know, the whole moving stuff around the house. Anyway, so there are some things I admit that I would like just to be easy, and there's probably a solution for that. I don't really care at the moment. Oh, now I am thinking, oh, I could apply what I've applied and the story I was going to tell you, I could apply that to the whole moving objects around the house in an irritating way. Anyway, let's get back to what I was already thinking of sharing, which is this. So I want to do hard things with ease. And what I've learned personally is the only way to do that is to get to know myself better and work out what that means for me at this point in my life. So, not that there's one solution for all time which is so tempting and is sold to us constantly. If you do this, then everything will magically be okay. I haven't found that to be true. That doesn't mean there aren't some really good things that you can buy. For example, oh, I finally found a solution to the footstool. So I don't know, 15 years ago I bought this large, beautiful footstool which matched the SETI. But it had two wheels on it, and or maybe it's got four wheels. I don't know. I think it's got two wheels and two um legs, so that you can move it easily. But the problem is every time I put my legs on it, after a bit it starts to slip forward, which means for years I've been trying to solve this problem. And I did try the coaster, are they called coasters, casters, what are they called? You know, the things you put wheels on, and that didn't work, they still slipped. And I try tried all sorts of things, it was just really irritating because I realised that I'm I was kind of holding my core trying to stop this footstool from slipping, and sometimes because it's intermittent, you know, it's like oh everything's fine. Snuggle up on the settee with three cavaliers and put your feet up and everything's fine, and then it would start to slip. And so this had been going on for years, me kind of intermittently trying to find a solution to this slipping footstool, and then bizarrely and hilariously, a couple of months ago, I located some wheel fixes which are different than the original one casters I bought, and it just works and it's magic. And I'm like, well, that was easy. So I do think there are some things that are solutions for all time, but not necessarily for the big life stuff we're talking about on this podcast. Because what I found to be true for myself is every time I think I've solved a problem and I think, oh well, that works, you know. For example, um, how I exercise and keep healthy, or a morning routine or something like that. I I tend to need to I tend to need to iterate and let it shift and change. If I don't, I get too rigid, and then if I don't do it, I feel bad because I haven't done it and I've lost my foundation. So I haven't found that anything like that works for all time just because I have to allow for change and growth and different seasons of my life. But I do like this idea of sticking with I like to do hard things, I like to do richly challenging things, but I want to do them with ease, and that there is a solution for me for that. And the solution I have found is if I if that is what I want, I have to first of all reject the idea that's not possible. And I don't find that that the majority of people that I talk to, or I used to talk to when I was employed, not now. I think I'm in a different well, I know I'm I'm existing in a different world now, but a lot of the time it was no, you can't have that, that's just how things are. The idea that if you want a lot, you have to put up with a certain amount of of suffering in terms of it's going to be really hard. Almost like you can only have what you want if you are prepared to pay the price. And the problem with that mindset is it it got me stuck into this overworking thing in order to deserve the rewarding aspects of my life. And then it stopped working because I wasn't prepared to make those sacrifices, and then I got to a stage where I'm like, well, I still want the good stuff. I just I'm there are I just know my non-negotiables and my bottom line of stuff that I'm I just expect to have now, which would be feeling well, being able to sleep, being able to switch off and have my evenings, um, being present with those I love. It's not that I'm perfect with that. I mean, come on, I'm not aiming for perfection here, but what I mean is that I'm not destroying my ability to live in order to create a life. It doesn't, they're they're just opposing forces there. But it's a it's a normal one, isn't it? If you want if you want a lot, then you're just gonna have to suffer. You're gonna have to suffer your time and your your time in a bad way, as in you can work hard, but then you won't have any time or space for anything else. Which may be true for some people in some workplaces, but it's not what I want. I want more than that. I want the deeply satisfying, difficult work, and I want to be able to switch off and enjoy my life. I want both, and that seems to be reasonably tricky. So the story I want to share today, because this is what I've been thinking about, because it's much, much easier to take an easier thing and apply it. So, for example, the idea that well, I don't think that I don't think my um story about the stopping the footstool slipping quite works because I just kind of feel like a lot of people would have just known you could buy this thing for$2.99, it would have solved it, and I just didn't know. But there is something interesting there in that despite looking for it, I wasn't aware this product existed. Where it's clearly existed for a very long time, I was just typing the wrong thing into Amazon. Who knew? So we could use that as a metaphor for life. The more specific you get, and the more you believe there's a solution, the more likely you are to have it revealed to you. Could go with that. I it's not quite where I was going with this episode, but I do quite like this. I just want to do it on a grander scale. So the footstool is was quite a big irritating thing, and it's been solved, and that's great. But I'm talking about bigger things in terms of how I live, how I move through my days. The idea that you can do hard things in an easier way, and you don't have to go with easy. So when we go with I can I can have a like these big dreams that are hard to make happen, or I can have easy, as in lying on a beach easy, retiring early easy, which doesn't tend to work out for anyone. I mean, I guess there's plenty of people who say that they're really happy with their laptops on the beach. I'd question that because first of all, I can't see my laptop screen in the sunshine, so I don't really understand that whole vibe of laptops on the beach. But anyway, there are people who have that lifestyle apparently and love it. So hey-ho for them. That's I'm not talking about them, that's not who I am, and that's not who I attract to listening to this podcast or who I work with. We want to do hard things, we just want to do it with ease. We don't want to be pushing against ourselves, we don't want to be exhausting ourselves, we don't want to be going round in circles, procrastinating, doubting ourselves, not having the confidence, getting completely overwhelmed and exhausted in order to make happen the things that we long to make happen, but we're at the same time really willing to dig deep, have courage and work hard and sacrifice time in order to do it. We don't have a problem with that. That's okay. It's just how to make that happen. How can we do hard things with more ease? And I would argue that to find that that way is very, very personal, and to find what that means, you have to get to know yourself better. At least this is what I found true from myself and my clients. When we get to know ourselves better, love and accept ourselves better, and start backing ourselves more fully, everything changes. But that takes courage because you're often going against the grain. Like people think you're crazy. What what are you trying why would you think that's possible, Heidi? Would you want the moon on the stick? Yes, I do. I want several moons on the stick, thank you very much. So the story that I want to share today is how I this year, because I've been thinking about this year, because this was a year ago that I was thinking about implementing this, and now I'm just reflecting on it. It's that time of year, isn't it? Time to harvest the goodness of the year. So last January, I think it was January the 12th. I don't know why I think it's January the 12th. I may have got that wrong, who cares? Anyway, I had decided I was going to do the Fast 800 Keto plan, which is the Michael Mosley thing called Fast 800. And it worked, I did it and it worked, and I love it, and I'm still doing it because it's not a diet, it's just a way of living. So the reason that I did this was I wanted to feel better. Now I didn't feel terrible, nothing was wrong. I just wanted to feel even better. I wanted more energy, I just wanted more ease with my food. So I've had gut issues for a long time, like many people, and I try different things and things work, and gradually over time my gut's a lot better. But around Christmas time, every single year it starts playing up. Of course it does because you're eating different things and you're eating more. So the whole digestive system is having to work harder, and I was just bored of it, it's just tiresome. So part of me just wanted to be able to eat everything without putting it on any weight or having digestive issues, but actually, that's not actually true. I don't want to be able to eat just anything because there are things that I don't believe are particularly nourishing, and I don't want to eat, I don't want to put rubbish into my body. So it's not actually true. It's not actually true that I wanted to eat everything and overeat at all. That's not what I wanted. What I wanted was to be the weight that I feel most like me, and have more energy, uh, more focus because when I eat in a way that works for me, I notice that my mind feels clearer, sleep better, and have you know my gut to just feel happier. Quite big things, but not that big a deal. It's more like the kind of icing on the cake, which is a terrible mess metaphor because actually icing is just sugar, and probably wouldn't want to eat that because me and sugar don't really get on. But anyway, haha. We'll use that the icing on the cake of all of the ways I've improved my health and my diet and exercise, all the stuff I've done in my lifetime. At 57, I just reached a stage where I just thought, you know what? I just want to permanently have the benefits of those things. I don't want to be going in and out of things, constantly searching for something, it's really boring. And because of the gut issues over Christmas, I was all ready to do another gut healing protocol, which is quite a big deal, and it's oh, it's just boring having to do it again. But I think that is quite common for people who geek out on healing your gut, and then it's I think it's quite common to do it more than once because we stop doing the gut protocol ways of doing things, and then the bacteria change and blah blah blah. So anyway, I didn't want really want to do that, but I bought the stuff to do it, and I was already, and then I was just reading on Kindle. I don't know why. Well, I probably do know why. I was searching for it, so I expect my subconscious noticed there was this book, and I read or I skim read Michael Mosley's Fast 800 book, not the recipe book, the book, and it was all stuff that I was really familiar with, and just my whole being was just going, Hell yes! Oh my goodness, it was like a relief. It it combined everything I had already tried that I knew was easy for me, enjoyable for me, and the best thing for me. It's like it just brought everything together, mostly. I mean, there were bits like they they like the Mediterranean diet, nah, not so much for me. I don't tomatoes, nah, they've never liked me. But you know, basically intermittent fasting, eating less, not eating a big meal in the evening for me personally. I think some people do the fast 800 and do it later in the day, but just eating less, eating high protein, really, really clean diet, and st and it not being a diet is really really important to me. It's not a diet because diets don't work, they're temporary. It's a lifestyle. And reading with reading it all together, all mushed together like that, was just a joy. So I was just skimming, I didn't read that, I didn't need to read all the book, I was just skimming it, going, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, thank, thank you, what a relief. This is what I'm gonna do. And then I decided I wanted to go. Well, this is I don't know about you, but I'm when I decide to do something, I go all in, very intense, blah, blah, blah. It's just easier, it's how I work. I like things fast, furious, do it. So I decided I was gonna do 12 weeks to lose a certain amount of weight, and I'm it's not just I'm not gonna share my weight because it's not helpful, it's just it's irrelevant, and it's private, and I don't care. So I I honest but I honestly can't remember how much I intended to lose in that in that 12 weeks, and I was losing it as a byproduct of up levelling and saying yes to all of the things that my body was craving for. But anyway, I did it for 12 weeks religiously and it worked, and I lost the weight, so that was 12 weeks from January, so it's done before I went on the Camino, and then I've just continued because it's not a diet, it's a way of living, and it works for me, and I'm really happy, and I actually weigh less now than the target weight. That's exciting because I found what works for me for now, it might change, I don't care. I doubt it because I can trace all the way back to my 20s, realizing my blood sugar would fluctuate and I could stabilize it by eating a piece of chicken protein. I was really, really aware, but there wasn't all of the research, or or there wasn't such a big availability, or I didn't come across it. I was reading a lot of nutrition stuff because I had small children and I was really interested in nutrition for babies and toddlers, but I didn't come across the stuff about blood sugar in the same way, some of it, but now it's everywhere. Inflammation, blood sugar, everything. So it all just kind of fits me. So I can trace back quite a long time ago at 57, so that's what over 30 years ago. I have known very clearly the effects of sugar and protein on my whole being and how I feel. So now I'm just able to go, well, yeah, that's what we do. I prefer to eat keto because it works for me. I prefer to eat less because it works for me. I prefer to eat these things because it makes me feel good and it's delicious, and it's just such a relief. So I wanted to backtrack on what I did, what the point of this story is. This story isn't about how to lose weight, obviously. This story for me is about when I go all in on saying hell yes to myself, it just I can do really difficult things really easily. And I want to do more of that, don't you? So I'm gonna unpick what I think I did. I noticed how I was feeling, and that there was room for me to feel better because when I looked for evidence of that in my life, I could see many times when I felt better by changing how and what I ate, what time I ate, how I ate, as in probably the speed of eating, how it's prepared, the level of protein, the level of fat, the level of carbohydrate. So I was rever basically I reverse engineered what I wanted by looking at what I already knew worked for me. So I just found a lifestyle. I hesitate to call it a diet because they're very clear that it's not a diet. But if you think because diets don't work and they're temporary, but it is a diet as in it's a way of eating. So oh, that's it, let's call it a way of eating. So I found a way of eating that I already knew would work for me, but I picked somebody else's because it's easier. So making it up for myself would have been hard. But where I started was I want to be this weight again because I just identify with myself as that weight and that shape, and I want this much energy, and I want my gut to feel like this. I so I knew exactly how I wanted to feel and look and be. I already knew, and I knew it was possible because I'd had glimpses of that before. So the weight when I was younger was easy, and then the current thing is oh. Postmenopausal women just put weight on and I thought no, I'm just not interested. First of all, I'm really bored of the whole aging is terrible. Being postmenopausal is a disaster zone. No, it's not. It's rubbish. I've never felt so well. Seriously, I feel great, and I felt great before I even changed to this way of eating. So I don't understand it. I personally I think being postmenopausal is heaven. It's just amazing. Anyway, back to reverse engineering. So I knew how I wanted to feel, look and be. Then I chose an way of eating that matched that, that would have those results. So I previously, thanks to spending all of my 40s trying to squeeze myself into a career that really wasn't for me, I did a lot of geeking out on nutrition and exercise, and I did a lot of hacking. So I already knew, I already knew what worked for me. So really all I was doing was tying it all together and then saying, I'm done with not feeling like that. So I was saying yes to myself. This is quite literally a huge hell yes. I want all of these things and I'm gonna have them, even if apparently it's not easy for women my age. I'm just not interested. You tell me that I'm gonna find a way and I'm gonna find a magical way of doing it, and I'm gonna make it easy and I'm gonna make it work because that's the rebel in me. So that's what I did. I I said yes to feeling good, to looking better, or looking more like it's not about looking better. I look at photos and I think, yeah, I can see that I'm bigger, but I don't look overweight, I don't look terrible, I look great, I felt good. There wasn't a problem. I wasn't a problem to be solved. Nothing was wrong. I just wanted more, I wanted to feel even better, particularly as I've got older. I'm noticing this desire, this longing to look after myself even better because well, because I'm getting older and it matters. So that's what I did. I made something difficult easy because I listened to my body, and I listened to my longings and desires, and you could say, well, was I listening to my body by saying that I wanted it to be to weigh less, to be smaller? Because I wasn't actually overweight. Well, yeah, I was because that's my heart as well. That's me being true to myself. I've always been pretty tiny, and I was bigger and I looked fine, but I didn't like it. And this is about me. I don't care, this is no judgment. This is why I'm not going to mention weight. Who cares? It's not about how heavy I was, it's not about what I looked like, it's about how I felt and how I wanted to be. And mainly I just wanted to feel awesome, and eating this way makes me feel good. I also wanted something that wasn't a diet that wasn't really restrictive, because this is forever. I mean, it may change because there may be a different way of eating that suits me better at a different stage in my life, but forever as in it's not a temporary fix, it's not it can't be too restrictive, that's not going to work for me. It has to it has to suit me, it has to serve me. I am not gonna be a slave to some strict rule. It has to be possible, it has to make sense. So I picked something with those criteria. And do you know what the hardest thing was? The hardest thing was emotional. It was sitting my partner down saying, I will no longer be eating with you in the evenings. I need to do this for myself. That was the hardest thing because my mindset was, well, we love good food, and um we eat really well anyway. Before I did this, we we both love high-quality local food, like we eat really, really well. But I was saying, I'm not going to be eating so much of that, and I'm not going to be eating with you. And I found that really hard, that felt really selfish. In my head, I was like, Well, a good relationship, you eat together, it matters. These things are important. I had to look at that and let go of it. I had to put myself first to do this. That was the hardest thing. It felt selfish, it felt indulgent, it felt kind of rude and impolite, and especially to start with because the intermittent fasting, yeah, I was hungry. I mean, not hungry as in starving, because this is designed not to do that. And actually, funnily enough, the food I was eating, so I did it, I did it really strictly to make it easier, so there was no willpower involved. So basically, I chose exactly what I was going to eat. Oh, that's the bit I didn't tell you. I bought the um fast 800 recipe, keto one. Absolute godsend, so delicious, so easy, because I could see exactly what I needed to do, and then I just did it very strictly. So I spent two weeks doing exactly what I told myself to do, exactly what it said. So I wrote down the three meals the day I was going to be having, and I and I opened I left the page open with the breakfast when I went to bed. After breakfast, I turned it to the lunch. So I wasn't even turning a page, I wasn't even having to look at a list and say, go to this page. It was all there, it was all done, no deviating from it, do do do, no mind involved. Just do do do do do do. So to start with, that was the hardest thing. It was the discipline, just do do do do, but it became really easy, really fast, because the food was so good and it looked so beautiful and was so delicious and so surprisingly filling that I was just in heaven. In fact, I couldn't eat it all. So the fast 800 is 800 calories a day, and I so I was just like, well, that doesn't sound very many. I was I couldn't honestly eat it all. Some days I was on 500 because I was absolutely full up. Now I'd eat more than that now, but at the time, this is what I wanted to do. So I did it, and I was surprised at how easy it was. So I was doing something difficult, dramatic calorie reduction temporarily, although I still do it now, so I still have days now where I'm doing that, and it's easy and I love it. In fact, I just feel it's better for me. I've I was gonna go into studies about mice and aging then, but I'm not because that's not the point of this podcast. The point of the podcast is when we say hell yes to ourselves, that's that's it, that's the clue. The clue's in the ooh, what about you? Do it your way. Back on with the story a sec. Where was I? So I bought the recipe book, had it all disciplined out, it was delicious. It was so beautiful as well, like just so colourful. It was actually it was Instagrammable, but I don't do Instagram, so I was sending photos of my food to a friend because I was just so excited, it's so delicious. I was just I don't know, just blown away by how joyful it was, how exciting it was. The only time it was hard is if I was trying to do a longer fast and my partner would come home and cook something delicious, then I would feel hunger. But the thing with intermittent fasting, as I'm sure you know if you've tried it, is you have to notice that, and neutral noticing for me was really powerful here. So you notice the hunger, it's the same as when I went on the first Camino, noticing the hunger, and the hunger rises because the expectation is there's a cafe and a mile, and then the cafe's closed and the hunger goes. Really interesting that Camino, and that taught me a lot and helped me with intermittent fasting because which I'd already practiced before the Camino. So this is an on-off experiment with listening to my body that I've been doing for a few years now, and with this, you're doing it a lot, a lot more. So there were times when I could feel hunger, and then notice the hunger, and then notice the hunger pass. So it's harder to fast if you're not doing it together because the other person's going to fill the house with delicious aromas, which obviously my body's gonna pick up on, and then that makes it harder than if it was just me. So that was that was trickier, but I was so all in and so excited, so excited, about how good I was feeling, about just seeing weight dropping off me, just hilariously. I was oh I kept a record as well, I found that helpful. So everything I'm doing here is supporting my mind, not everything. A big thing that I was doing was supporting my mind. So when my mind had to think, it didn't have to think, it's just no, you just make that. There's the recipe, make the recipe, just do the recipe. There's no discussion, just get on with it. It's easy then. And then I had a little book where I was writing down my weight every day and my um circumferences of my body, and that it's just really nice, it was just fun. Whereas previously I would have been like, no, I'm not counting stuff, I don't count stuff. That's against my freedom. But this I found freedom in the in the counting and the measuring and the just having a goal of this 12 weeks, and I'm so excited. The whole thing was seriously joyful and easy. Well, not easy easy, not lying on a beach easy. It I did it with ease because the structure provided me with what I needed to do it with ease. It worked for me because I reverse engineered it from what I knew made me feel better and worked for me, and I chose an eating plan, a way of living in terms of food that just really really resonated, had enough of an evidence base both in terms of longevity studies and gut health and nutrition, and in my own n equals 1 experiments throughout my lifetime. So the whole thing just gelled. So that's exciting. How to do difficult things with more ease. For me, I've gotta really tune in to what I know and own what I know to be true for me, even if it goes against what other people say or it's inconvenient for other people. I have to choose me. What's my way to achieve this? What does easy look like for me, or what does easier look like, or with ease? I think that's it's difficult, isn't it? Because I'm messing up my easy, easier and more ease. I'm not looking for like there's this ultimate easy way. No, I don't mind difficult. In fact, I think I do believe this is related to enjoyment, satisfaction, joy, fulfilment, purpose. You know, you need some grit in there, or there's just not it's just boring, isn't it? And also, oh that's it, and the state of flow requires the right combination of ease and challenge. So I think there's there's something in there, I know there's something in there for me. I liked I liked the challenge, I liked the do it in 12 weeks. That really got me excited. But I also just liked the freedom that once I after two weeks of doing it as a strict meal plan, I'd learnt enough because I learned fast and it was working, I'd learnt enough to start deviating from it and messing around with the recipes, and now I don't use the book because I've memorised everything. Honestly, the breakfast, my god, so I've just had one this morning, and this is the thing, I'm still doing it because it works and it's really deli mainly because it's delicious and it makes me feel really good. So this morning I had one of their keto breakfast wraps, which it basically has the same texture as a pancake. I mean, come on! Oh, I'm so grateful. I'm so so grateful for the I can't remember the name, so sorry. Mrs. Mosley and another lady, and they messed around with food until they've come up with it's so good, honestly, so good. So this keto breakfast wrap is just made. I make it from gluten-free flour, obviously. I'm gluten-free, egg and cottage cheese, so easy. Oh my goodness, and then I had scrambled egg, avocado, and bacon in it, and I'm full, my entire body feels satisfied and nourished, my mind is clear. Like the whole it's just so good. So so good so delicious. Not in that book, but in something I'd printed off their meal plan was this keto chocolate porridge, which I've changed the recipe of. Oh my goodness, so good. And yeah, I've ruined it because I've added maple syrup, which is definitely not on the list, but as I'm not trying to lose any weight, that's good. So yeah, I have this keto chocolate porridge. I've had that a lot this winter because it's so comforting and so ridiculously good and delicious. Oh my goodness, and then I put maple syrup on it and cream on it. It's outrageously, it's an outrageously damn fine way to live. And that kind of happiness and deliciousness, that's what I want in everything I do. Well, not everything. Come on, I don't have to make every single aspect of my life this good. I just have to make things that matter, and what matters is health, well-being, as in my mind feels nourished and clear and able to focus on what matters most to me, and able to absorb the joy, the stuff I've already created, to feel successful and confident. That that part of me that that matters. My I guess mental health, well-being, sanity, confidence, whatever, mindset, that matters to me. My relationships matter to me. My home matters to me, my work matters to me. These are big things. I don't need everything solved. I don't really care that much about my house having everything sorted because it's not just me who lives in it, and it's not that easy. People have different people notice different levels of chaos, and I don't know. Anyway, of all the things, that's not the most important thing. But I do want my house finished, which I've also done this year. Woohoo! I mean, it's not finished finished. It just it needs some tiding up, you know, finishing off and decorating, but it is definitely finished as in completely renovated, which is so good. What a year, hey! What a year! Renovating the house, sorting out my eating. Oh, so good. This has definitely been a damn fine year. I hope yours has been too. And if you'd like to come and join me for my now annual New Year workshop, please do consider it. I'd love to have you there. So I'd like to invite you on the 4th of January. Can't speak. I'd like to invite you on the 4th of January to join me and other people just like you and me at 4pm GMT, which is good news for just about everywhere.

Do come along to review 2025 and pull out of your heart and your body what you really, really want in 2026 so that you can become quietly unstoppable. You can know what you want and you can set your compass and go all in on whatever it is you want next. Whatever your more is for next year.
