My Mission

I’m on a mission to make a massive positive impact in the world and live this life to the fullest- maximum joy, love, contribution, fun, peace, and adventure.

I still have much to learn about all this, but when I slow down a bit and reflect on where I am and where I’ve come from… man, I lead a damn good life.

Teaching #1

One of the most important teachings I ever received was to always plan to have “The Best Yet.” The Best Year Yet. The Best Month Yet. The Best Sex Yet. The Best Food Yet. The Best Results for My Clients Yet.  The Best Family Gathering Yet.  The Best Day At Work Yet. The Best Summer Yet. The Best Trip to the Dentist Yet.

Teaching #2

A second top teaching I seriously resisted is “Be supported!”  I always thought I should and could do everything for myself.

Last year was my Best Year Yet, and it is no coincidence that I received the Best Support Yet – in the form of Seth Braun’s 12-Month Mens Mastery Course.

Stuck and Frustrated

A year ago, I was getting big results in my life, but I was stressing, working long hours and neglecting my self care and fulfillment.  I couldn’t see how things could be different and it frustrated me terribly.

My Best Investment Yet

Finally, I took the step to get support.   After working with Seth closely, I now make more $$$money$$ than ever.  I work fewer hours with a business plan that has me so excited for my future.  I even took 2 months off this year to surf and study yoga in tropical locations.

I got back into basketball, was certified as a yoga teacher, established a daily spiritual practice, and took my intimate relationship to new heights.  Even better, is the excitement and peace I experience day to day.  Life is just plain fun… even the downs and the bumps.

I Almost Sold Myself Short

It was tough for me to hire Seth. He is a peer and a colleague, and I can be a proud and stubborn man.  But I couldn’t deny that I was stuck in a number of patterns that totally frustrated me.  I also couldn’t ignore the fact that all teh successful people I know stay with top notch coaches.

I knew I needed the support of an expert. Seth lives his teachings and brings great integrity and joy to his work.  It was an absolute no-brainer- maybe the best money I’ve ever spent, and that is why I want to introduce Seth to you personally on this call.

I am in the Bahamas for December at the Sivananda Ashram Teacher Training. I am here to develop powerful discipline, excellent physical fitness, and peace of mind. Also to learn how to teach yoga to others.

Read all about it here: http://sivanandabahamas.org/index.php?page_id=67

The training is rigorous with a demanding schedule.

Since one of my main intentions for the month is discipline, my goal for this week is being on time.

I am giving my word too absolutely be on time to every session- meditation and chanting, yoga, philosophy studies, chores, meetings, all of it.

I have an alarm clock, a watch and I have given my word to a man from Ontario who is tenting next to me. We agreed to check on each other especially in the AM when we have to be up at 5:30.

Wish me luck!

What’s your goal this week? Post it in the comments and then come back a week from now and report in on your success.

Blessings

A 9 Question Process That Could  Save Your Marriage
Or Transform Any Area of Your Life

This line of questioning empowers us to create breakthroughs in areas of life where we are ready for the “next level” of success and fulfillment.

I started out my career as a nutrition and health coach supporting people to transform their relationship with food- despite years of failure with dieting.  In the process I learned universal principles that apply to any area of our lives.

Basic premise:

How we view the world (life, others and ourselves) dictates our experience of the present, the actions we will take, and ultimately how the future will turn out.  If we want a new experience we must choose a new perspective.

This is one of the 3 Laws of Performance – a book by Steve Zaffron and David Logan

Other points:

1) All of our views, even the ones that get us unfortunate results have some payoff (some way that they serve and protect us).

2) Other people’s actions, even the most hurtful ones, are never personal.

Example from a Client-Graduate: A man desired a new experience of the  relationship with his wife.

1) What are the circumstances?

She cheated on me in the past.  We don’t spend a lot of time together. I want to be with her.

I want more time, I want commitment, I want to be able to trust her.  I want her to be faithful. I am scared.  I’m not sure how to proceed.

I don’t express myself fully.  I threaten to tell our kids if she does it again.  I don’t trust.

2) What am I experiencing that I don’t like?

Loneliness, low self-esteem, fear, disconnection, doubt, hopelessness

3) What are the beliefs that got me this experience?

“I’m not lovable.”

“This relationship will always be tainted.”

“People don’t change.”

“I need her to be happy.”

“I’d never find another woman, if I left.”

“She doesn’t love me.”

4) How have these views served and protected me?

They kept me safe- not leaving my wife to face financial and social risks – and the risk of never finding another person and feeling even more unlovable.

Gave me something to feel sorry about and an excuse not to focus on success.

Gave me something to hold against her, so she would do what i wanted her to do.

Kept me from opening my heart to her and asking for what I want, inviting her to an amazing relationship- because she might break my trust again.

5) What do I desire to experience?

A passionate, supportive, loving, honest, amazing, free, forgiving relationship with my wife that we both love.

6) What would I have to believe to have this experience?

These are the beliefs that he considered would give him a better chance of having the experience he desires.

”My mind’s interpretations are not always true.  I get to choose the ones that empower me most.”

“I am lovable!  I’m perfect with all my imperfections.” (My wife cheating does not mean I am not lovable! That was her working out her own stuff.)

“Anything is possible for me and for the my wife and I.” (we are not destined for the same old experience)

“People do hurtful things when they are hurting inside.  Their actions and words are a call for love. It’s never personal. Anything but love will be unproductive and create more suffering.”

(My wife is deserving of forgiveness.  Since I truly desire to stay with her and to have a great relationship with her, my most productive way is forgiveness. )

7) What actions are there to take from this new view?

These are the actions he and I came up with together…

1. When emotionally upset, go through these questions to find out what I want and what my most empowered perspective might be.
2. Regularly meditate, center on my most powerful beliefs, and ask my heart for guidance.
3. Communicate openly- being with my experience fully, owning it fully, sharing it honestly.
4. Make powerful requests.
5. Keep powerful boundaries.

What requests do I have of the people in my life?

Of my wife: Be faithful.  Be honest. Share life with me. Spend time with me.  Keep me physically safe.  Forgive me. Love and accept me.

9) What boundaries will I keep?

My wife and I are faithful and honest.  If not, I move on.  I own my own experience – I don’t blame others and give my power away.

Use these 9 questions in any area of your life for tremendous results. Intrigued, but unsure of how to apply this process to your own life?

Doubtful that you can breakthrough in an area of you life?  I love a challenge!  And I know that you can.  (If you really want it!)

Contact me if you’d like support for yourself or your clients.

P.S. – I’m not a relationships counselor.  I’m a health and human potential coach.  I support you to get results that you desire for your life.

When we eat “bad” foods, our mind judges us as bad people.

Bad people are guilty.

Guilty people must be punished.

What better way to punish a bad food-obsessed person, than with more bad food… say with Ben and Jerry’s.

Then its like, “Screw it! I’ll just keep eating the ice cream until its all gone.” Either because there is no hope for the weak, bad person or because the bad person is so sad that she needs comfort.

What better way to comfort than with food!

Morally neutral nutrition is the way to go.  There is just food.  And certain foods give us certain effects.  And certain foods have been associated with certain physical diseases.

So then we can choose from what we want to experience (like health, energy, peace of mind), as opposed to our desire to be “good” or perfect.

More on this later!

If you don’t know me, I’m Lucas Seipp-Williams, CHC – The Baltimore Health Coach.  I’m not the Baltimore nutritionist or the Baltimore dietitian.  A health coach knows lots about nutrition, food and especially how to make nutritious foods delicious and in time-efficient ways.   And we offer holistic wellness programs- meaning you can get meditation, yoga, life coaching and more.   If you are intrigued, check out my home site at www.BaltimoreHealthCoach.com

7 family members were present, including my father.

In front of over 100 people, I powerfully completed the healing of our relationship letting him know how much I love him and that he is my hero.

He really got it, with my whole family there and a boat load of other people to make sure it sunk in.

Life is way to short to have so-so relationships, and honest communication is the most valuable currency in the world.

As a health coach, I love supporting my clients with communication and relationships.

This is The Baltimore Dance Party!
Video below.

I’ve missed two days in my 30 day commitment, so I am donating $100 to www.nosarawildlife.com.

This donation is NOT a punishment, it’s an affirmation of my commitment to being a man of my word, living an amazingly fulfilling, fun life, and making a major positive difference in the world… including causing the end of the electrocution of monkeys in Nosara, Costa Rica.

If you want to fundamentally transform your habits, I suggest…

1) Put your money where your heart is!

2) Apply the following to your life…

DANCE PARTY SCIENCE

When I am feeling stuck,  procrastinating,  down-and-out,  craving,  bored…

The 3-minute dance party totally transforms my energy and overall inner-resourcefulness, leaving me charged up and ready to rock.

Check us out!

Make sure that you follow an approach that works!

Your Path to High Energy and Vibrant Health is…

INSPIRED
The power to change how you live lies in your motivation to be alive. What are your most inspiring reasons to be healthy? What do you live for? Let nutrition and lifestyle practices serve your purpose.

INDIVIDUAL
You require a unique way of eating based on your ancestry, lifestyle and environmental factors. In specific food experiments you will deepen your own awareness about your “bio-individual” requirements. A cutting-edge metabolic type testing accelerates your understanding of which foods and nutrients will balance your metabolism and energy your life.

HOLISTIC
Your relationship with food powerfully impacts your energy, moods, strength, digestion, and immunity and therefore, your relationships, work, sleep, ability to move, and every other aspect of your life. Each of these areas in turn affects our relationship with food. When we are imbalanced in any area, we often turn to food and drinks for balance. Lasting nutrition improvement requires commitment to the elevation of your level of nourishment and satisfaction in each of these areas. How convenient!

GRADUAL
Even if you knew exactly what you should eat, real change takes time, thought, and effort. My number one goal is to support you to become powerful in a process of setting one or two simple, yet powerful goals every 2 weeks and following through with tenacity. With each follow through, you deepen your awareness about what works for you and you build momentum in the process.

FORGIVING
Failure is to be expected. Honest, forgiving analysis of recent choices provides critical lessons that improve your likelihood of success moving forward. Guilt is incredibly unbalancing, disempowering and a major obstacle to your success and fulfillment.

ABOUT QUALITY
You will never be perfect nor will you live forever. Healthy choices are a means for cultivating the clarity, energy and strength necessary to create the quality of life you desire.

“What does quality of life mean to you?” If you are like me you aspire to live an exciting, pleasurable, delicious, and meaningful life. Luckily, we are designed to enjoy and thrive on life-affirming foods and activities. Eating and living aligned with your unique truth will leave you satiated, satisfied and energetic.

INTENTION DRIVEN
Your life is happening NOW. How do you want to experience your lifetime of present moments? Powerful present moments are like the keel of your boat, keeping you steady as you propel forward, creating your future. You are the creator of your future. What do you want for your future? Cultivate a powerful and clear vision of your ideal future. Know you deserve it. Know it is possible. Take full responsibility for it.

SUPPORTED
I encourage you to request “unreasonable” amounts of support from the people in your life. When you are energized and happy, you have so much to give and will support many people. I offer a comprehensive programs with loads of support: regular breakthrough sessions, goal setting, metabolic typing, email support, monthly cooking classes, meditation, movement, communication and more. You want to live your best life and you have it in you, but you need support. Get it now!
