#updatecast - Sleep Supplements, Weight Loss And Goals

Ever feel like sleep is a puzzle you just can’t solve? In our latest episode, I dive into my journey of developing sleep supplements, juggling health goals, and exploring how ADHD and dyslexia shape the way I stay motivated. It’s a blend of personal stories and practical tips, plus a whole lot of honesty about what’s worked and what hasn’t.

We talk about the importance of setting ambitious goals, even if they seem a bit unreasonable at first. Along the way, I share how keto affects my sleep, why cortisol can be a sneaky saboteur, and how visualisation is often the missing link in achieving real progress.

Why Sleep Supplements Matter

For the last few months, I’ve been testing different sleep supplements. My main focus was to create something safe and effective that truly improves sleep quality. I track my sleep scores, and it’s been exciting to see results in the 80s, even on days when my mind won’t switch off.

The biggest challenge was finding the right balance between relaxation and motivation. When you add ADHD into the mix, the brain often has so many tabs open it’s hard to wind down. This is why I’m working on a supplement that calms the mind without crushing the drive to get things done the next day.

The Weight Loss Rollercoaster

Keto is one approach I’ve used to support my health goals, but I’ve noticed it can affect sleep. Luckily, I’m still getting decent scores, and I feel more energised overall. But it’s definitely a twisty path.

Weight loss is rarely straightforward. Sometimes you see results right away, then you plateau and wonder if you’re missing something. For me, tracking cortisol has been a game-changer. When stress is high, it’s like my body refuses to drop the extra weight. That’s where mindfulness and quick breathing exercises come in.

My advice? Don’t beat yourself up. It’s natural to have ups and downs. That said, setting an ambitious goal and reminding yourself of that vision can keep you going when things feel tough.

The Power of Unreasonable Goals

One theme in my journey is setting goals that seem almost too big. A small target might keep you comfortable, but it doesn’t always light that fire inside. I’ve noticed that aiming for a 10X goal can be oddly energising. It feels like a wild reach, but it really focuses your mind on what’s possible.

“If you’re going to set a goal, make it big enough that you can’t ignore it.”

If you’re the type who struggles with motivation, try bumping your goal up by a notch or two, or even ten. You might surprise yourself.

Visualising Success

When I can’t lose weight or sleep well, I often find I’m not actually picturing the end result. That’s where visualisation can be a game-changer. Picture yourself waking up feeling energised, stepping on the scale and seeing progress, or breezing through the day without the usual mental fog.

For me, it’s like training the brain to see success before it happens. Once I have that picture locked in, it’s easier to spot opportunities that align with my goals. And when ADHD or dyslexia tries to pull me off course, I tap into that vision to remind myself why I’m chasing this in the first place.

Keeping Motivation Alive with ADHD and Dyslexia

Having ADHD and dyslexia can feel like a battle. The mental chatter can be relentless, and time blindness is a real thing. But I’ve found a few strategies that help:

• Break down tasks: Short and sweet is best. Bite-sized steps are less daunting.
• Use reminders: Digital or physical, it doesn’t matter. As long as you see them.
• Reward progress: Celebrate the small wins along the way, not just the end goal.
• Find your tribe: Connecting with people who ‘get it’ is a huge boost.

It’s easy to lose focus when you’re juggling multiple goals, but that’s why a solid vision, a supportive community, and the right products can help keep you on track.

• Been focusing on sleep supplements for the last few months to boost rest and recovery.
• Testing shows sleep scores in the 80s, even while working through keto.
• Weight loss is anything but linear, especially when cortisol spikes.
• Setting a 10X goal can pump up your motivation like nothing else.
• Visualising success primes your mind for positive outcomes.
• ADHD presents challenges, but there are ways to harness its energy.
• Balancing relaxation and drive is crucial when picking the right supplement.
• Unreasonable goals often lead to unexpected achievements.
