Researching how REBT can support people to build their exercise habit.

@icod I know we’re told we have to breathe through our noses, but I’ve never cracked that and I suck in air with my mouth.

@lemnsissay Thank you for sharing the photos, I hope it heals quickly.

@CoachDanGo If it works for you, it works. I wrote this about fasted exercise for women - https://t.co/ctQ9raw6RX

We all know that exercising in a fasted state is the most efficient way, don’t we? Except not if you’re a woman. Dig into the research a bit and it becomes clear that the participants in the research were, exclusively, men.

Here is what the data for women actually says 🧵 👇

@MungoJerryLTD You have to search for it, but you can still buy offal. It took me ages to perfect my duck liver parfait recipe, but it was time well spent I think.

@DoctorChrisVT That was fascinating.

Vienetta makes me think of smoking and drinking alcohol - habits that are way in the past, so it was interesting to see cigarettes mentioned.

It’s a circle that can’t be squared, but they’re clearly not going to stop trying.

@sunnkssdseraph That’s a very REBT way of looking at things 🙂

What a beautiful thought at the end of a tough week.

@evohnave To the tune of Depeche Mode 🎵

@AFitTrader “I want to go to the gym, but I’m not in the mood,” versus “I’m not in the mood, but I want to go to the gym.”

Which one will get you to the gym?

What this could look like – a hard-boiled egg or some peanut butter, or just a light version of what you usually eat and know works for you. I have a handful of nuts and a piece of cheese with a cup of tea ☕️

Women don’t need a huge meal, just a light buffer (not buffet as I originally typed 🙄). Just enough protein or fat to let your brain know that energy is available.

@Kathlee14861239 @silverpebble We’ve been very fortunate here, we had some light rain overnight - I hope it’s enough to soften the ground before the heavier rain comes 🤞☔️

@RenEyeratu3 @MungoJerryLTD And so the cycle turns 🤷🏻‍♀️

A goal in REBT is that clients become their own therapist. I’d take being out of a career if it meant everyone was emotionally regulated.
