Manifesto
The 5 guiding principles of the Burn Method Whole Health & Fitness are the keys to unlocking your greatest potential and life satisfaction. I invite you to examine each of these principles and see what areas need some TLC. What you will find is that when your guiding principles are not balanced, it may drive unhealthy behaviors such as binge eating, drinking, shopping, gambling, etc.
LISTEN. LIVE. LOVE. LEARN. BURN
The 90/10 PHILOSOPHY--STRIVE FOR BALANCE, NOT PERFECTION
LISTEN
Listen to your body, soul & intuition; it's always talking to you, sending you signals, nudges, and messages. Food cravings, for example, can be emotional or physiological. Emotional cravings bubble up when our lives are off-kilter and unbalanced. Work, home life, finances, friendships, hobbies even playtime are all critical elements that makeup YOU. When your life is unbalanced, you'll eat (or drink, shop, gamble, etc) to check out and numb the pain. Physiological cravings stem from unbalanced nutrition or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Take the time to tune in, listen, and observe.

Live your best life and become the best version of yourself, not someone else. Ditch the scale friends and focus on inch loss! Forget about the unrealistic expectations that society puts on us, and focus on working with what you already have, because you are beautiful and fabulous just the way you are. It's incredibly liberating to let go of perfection and JUST focus on polishing the diamond you already are.

We are all spiritual beings living a human experience. We are all unique and possess certain qualities that make our light shine bright and feel whole as human beings. When we don't tap into these qualities and focus too much on one aspect of our lives, we become run down, unhappy, and unfulfilled.

When these areas are fully enriched and "dialed in", you will create the greatest life satisfaction.

Fitness is only 20% of the lifestyle equation; the real magic happens outside of the gym, it starts in the home and is a result of how you live, a.k.a, your lifestyle. Find a daily movement practice you love that you can sustain for a lifetime. People think that fitness has to be masochistic for it to be beneficial; that is hardly the case. Fitness is meant to keep the body mobile, injury-free and lean and it's supposed to be fun too!
