Is THIS Why You Feel Stuck?
Loz Antonenko’s Secret Handbrakes You're Probably Ignoring!
Loz never thought tiny changes could lead to massive breakthroughs. Then, life hit her with a triple whammy: heartbreak, a brain tumour, and unimaginable loss (the suicide of her husband). She realised she couldn't control the big stuff, but she could control the small stuff.
Life throws punches. But feeling stuck? Going through the motions? Life on autopilot makes everything feel pointless. The good news: anyone can escape this cycle.
What is a Handbrake Habit, and How Has It Been Holding You Back This Whole Time?
Life’s a journey. When you have a clear goal, this is your destination and you’re going to get there by car. If you drive with the handbrake up, you’ll always feel heavy and progress will be slow.
Don’t you wish you could find all the little handbrakes that are holding you back? After navigating her own journey of loss and tragedy, Loz discovered that the same set of little handbrakes pop up in every story where someone feels stuck.
When Loz first started lifting these little handbrakes in her own life, everything shifted. She busted that midday slump and even though she was eating more, she unlocked that dream body she’d always wanted.
STOP Overcomplicating! These 4 SIMPLE things are the ONLY Keys to Transformation
The trick to the handbrakes is that they’re so simple, they’re difficult. Success isn’t in ice baths, crazy diets, or breaking your social media habit. The problem with handbrake habits is that people don’t think they’re important. Or they believe if they manage a few of them, they’ll get results and if there are no results, it’s not working for them.
Loz encourages people to lift one handbrake at a time because the human brain rejects big, dramatic changes.
Stop Running on Empty! The ONE Thing Your Body REALLY Craves
Protein is a clean-burning fuel that gives the body sustained energy. Sustained energy feeds the brain and turns many of the body’s “check engine” lights off because it isn’t under strain to run. Brain fog, short concentration span, short temper, midday slump, feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, food cravings, a propensity for weight gain. Sound familiar? Often, these symptoms are actually “check engine” lights that come on because your body is trying to run on coffee and carbs instead of protein.
The Easiest Way to Boost Your Creativity & Focus (HINT: It's Already in Your Kitchen!)
About 75%–80% of the brain is water. This high water content is essential for brain function, it helps transport nutrients, remove waste, and maintain electrical activity. Feeling like your creativity is stunted? Or is it overwhelming to solve the typical problems of daily life? Headaches, memory issues, and difficulty concentrating are all little handbrakes caused by a lack of water in the cells of the body. Can you imagine how much better you could control feelings of overwhelm if your brain had the resources to manage your nervous system correctly?
Is Your Brain Running at HALF SPEED? The Truth About Sleep…
Sleep helps consolidate memories, process information, and remove waste from the brain, keeping cognitive function sharp. Imagine trying to learn new skills and function well when your brain isn’t given the opportunity to process information, or if it can’t remove waste. Adequate sleep also regulates mood, reducing stress and the risk of anxiety or depression. Physically, it supports the immune system by promoting the production of infection-fighting cells, while also aiding muscle repair and hormone regulation. Release the handbrake and increase your energy levels. Get. Enough. Sleep!
This "Feel Good" Habit Can Be Highly Addictive (And It's Good For You!)
Strength is not just physical but also about your mindset and experience. Do exercise that makes you feel strong because that sets you up for success. The rush of endorphins and the sense of achievement stokes the fire for more ambitions.
From Handbrakes to Highways: Accelerate Your Life
Before it sounds too simple to be true, ask yourself how many of these handbrakes are lifted in your life. Are you eating multiple meals per day that contain nutrient-dense foods, or is your brain running on caffeine and late-afternoon carbohydrates?
The simplicity of the handbrake habits is that the people who turn their lives around with these simple steps aren’t even giving up those guilty pleasures. They can still enjoy after-dinner chocolate, cigarettes and coffee, or that glass of wine. By lifting the handbrakes, you build momentum as you move forward and these little pleasures make the journey fun.
