In this episode, I talk about what The series Severance, starring Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, has to teach us about how to make any kind of fasting an easier, more empowering experience.

No spoilers included (I cover no more than the trailer) - and no need to have watched the programme itself to get something out of this episode.

In Severance, employees of the ominous Lumon corporation choose to have a chip implanted in their brains that severs their work consciousness from the person they are outside the office. 

I was inspired by this consciousness split to explore a problem that I see many people having with fasting.

Imagine severing your consciousness every time you fast. You get to avoid the discomfort, because you have outsourced going through that discomfort to - let’s call them - ‘Fasting You’.

This reminded me of a concept I heard the writer David McRaney talk about - Now You vs Future You. It is a kind of severance - minus the sci fi. On 1st January, millions allocate their health to Future You…the only problem being that Future You inevitably turns into Now You. You know Now You - they are the ones with resistance and minor obstacles like, er, life that get in the way of their goals.

I talk about this and what I see as the alternative to this Now You vs Future You schism.

It's easy to make perfect decisions on a Sunday night, when we are planning the week (especially if we have had a not particularly healthy weekend).

But what happens when your priorities shift?

Before you know it, it's Friday afternoon and you've had a rotten week, and there is a pretty unhealthy night out that you could go to to if you weren't being the paragon of virtue that you planned to be on Sunday night?

Don't fall into the trap of putting that down to you being defective or a willpower weakling. There are more intelligent, more subtle ways to deal with this that allow you to both maximise your health and have a life. Now that sounds good!

I go into more detail in this week's podcast episode (11 mins - I know you're busy) which you can hear here:

Heads up!

30th June is my first AiF talk free on Zoom. Grab the Zoom link: https://www.theshiftinside.com/secrets/

Starring a comedian, a boardroom cliche...and Leo Tolstoy. Whether you're struggling with intermittent or 24hr+ fasts, this Zoom session with fasting coach Harriet Morris is a must-attend for you. 

Why is it that we are designed by evolution to be able to manage without food, yet so many find fasting a struggle - one that never gets any easier? Find out why (hint: it's an entirely culturally manufactured lie that you can opt out of today) . I will give you a new way to think about the challenge of fasting that will get you out of the struggle trap quicker than you can say "Bye Bye diabetes, autoimmune disease and many, many more".
