00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.640
Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Change Wired Podcast.
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.559
My name is Angela Sharina.
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:17.760
I'm your host.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:38.079
I'm your partner in change, personal and collective transformation, your process of your partner in the process of reaching for and actually designing for and building your 10x to your next level goals, your leap in life, in health and fitness and business and relationships.
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.640
That's what we are all about here.
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.039
You know the tagline of this podcast: change in days, not in years.
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:50.159
You can be changing, especially in our world today.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.960
You can be changing so much faster.
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.600
Just be in this constant flow of change.
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:02.159
And so, this is what this podcast is all about, what we are evolving into.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:20.000
So your future, your better, more resilient, more ambitious, bolder version of self gets to live in your real life, in your real days, a little bit sooner, a little bit better, a little bit more fulfilled, and with a little bit more joy.
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:34.560
Today, guys, we are gonna be focusing on why so often, and it's such a pattern that I've been coaching for 18 years, and now that I uh see this pattern, I can't unsee it.
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:45.519
Most of my clients are really like all of my clients actually are very ambitious, high-performing, hardworking people who just want to get squeezed the most out of this life.
00:01:45.840 --> 00:02:13.919
And very often because of that, and myself including, we end up pushing and pushing and pushing, and anything but feels like a waste of time, like extra hour of sleep, or extra hour of me time, or extra minute of mindful meditation, feels like we are taken away from this bolder, more audacious, aspirational version of self that we can be building.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:26.479
But you see, the pattern is that I've seen over and over and over again to the point that I can't unsee it and can't not act on it in my own life every time I want to sabotage that.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:56.719
Like the pattern is you push, you don't give your body, your mind enough time, your immune system enough time to rest, recover, to help you fight the germs in all the in the world around you, and then you get sick, or you get injured, or you get mentally burned out, mentally, emotionally, which I would argue even worse, because then you don't have to you don't have the mood, the motivation, the energy to do anything.
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.159
And then you just stop.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:10.560
You stop maybe in business, in relationships, in your health, in uh what you know works better for you, you just lose it.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:18.879
And with that, you take less action, less right kind of growth-oriented kind of action.
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.800
And with that, you lose momentum.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:48.240
And very often you start feeling like, or it is objectively true, that you almost start from ground zero every time, and you build it up and build it up and build it up is all the hard work, and then bam, and you get sick and you get injured, and you again burn out mentally and emotionally, and you just don't want to do anything.
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.719
You're like, yeah, it's just too hard.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.199
But it's not too hard, it's you're doing it the wrong way.
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:16.160
Every every successful person who achieved their success in a fulfilling way, who learned how to keep that success and built on it more and more and more, and more, not in a sense that you have to do more and more, but just expanding their life consistently and sustainably.
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:24.240
Every one of them learned how to not just push, but also have a rhythm of recovery.
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.879
Today we're gonna talk about sleep.
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:49.680
I'm gonna walk you through some fundamental sleep practices so then you don't get sick, so then you don't get injured, so then you don't burn out, and so then you can have sustainable, consistent, steady progress towards every single one of your aspirations and dreams.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.240
Right.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:05:02.959
But before we jump into all of that in a minute, first, today's Thursday, and I'm officially launching the first broadcast for my Thursday Unlock newsletter.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.040
And now back to the theme of today's episode.
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.920
And let me read you some stories, some examples, some thoughts from my blog.
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:06.639
It always helps me to structure what I deliver to you here so then you can get value, practical, applicable value easier instead of me just jumping all over the place.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:16.079
The title of the blog, and probably gonna be of this podcast, Why You Keep Getting Sick Six Weeks Into Every Fresh Start.
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.279
It's not bad luck when it's a pattern.
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:25.279
Something that I heard in some shape or form from almost every one of my clients.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:31.839
I've been doing so well, and now I get sick and I have to stop and start over all over again.
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.120
So frustrating, my client would say.
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.319
I hear some version of this from almost every client at the start of our work together.
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:46.639
And then I see the pattern unfold over the course of working together.
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:54.240
Over the months, I watch this pattern unfold, and it feels like so obvious at this point for me.
00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:06.720
And what what it reminds me of is that even the most ambitious, high-achieving, like the most brilliant people, sometimes we get into our patterns and we just don't see it.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:12.000
It can be obvious to everyone else, but we just don't see it because we are in this pattern, right?
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.920
And we don't measure it.
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:20.000
Well, now we have AI that can point us to this, like, hey, you've been doing this.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.439
Have you noticed?
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.839
AI is actually quite good at that.
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.959
So again and again and again, this pattern unfolds.
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:41.279
You push, you sprint, six, eight weeks of momentum, just like you would do at work, and then you get sick, you step, maybe you're burned out, and you restart from what often feels like ground zero.
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:52.320
Imagine, like, if you were saving money or investing money, and every six to eight weeks you would go back to almost zero.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.720
Imagine how frustrating would that be.
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:05.679
But that is what you often do with your own physical health, your fitness progress, and often relationships, and often, to be honest, the work progress as well.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:22.960
If you just did not stop for the next even 90 days, or till the end of the year, if you just did not stop, you didn't get sick, you would just build small steps, would take small step forward to build a little bit on top, a little bit on top, you know, compounding interest, all of that stuff.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:30.720
If you just kept at it with no stop, like nothing stopping you, no getting sick, no burning out, nothing, where would you be?
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.360
Like, where would that bring you?
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:40.480
You know, those that compounding in compounding, I think I'm using the word right, English is not my first language.
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.399
I think it would get you, you know.
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:54.720
They say like if you fold a piece of paper many times, then soon if if you double the amount of those folds every time, you get to the moon quite fast.
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.639
So, what would happen with your progress?
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:02.639
Whether that's health, fitness, relationships, your fat loss, or your business, whatever that might be.
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.559
What if you just did not stop?
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:12.000
I want to be honest with you here, guys, like very honest, and I'm and um then I'm gonna share with you my story as well.
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:23.840
It's not just germs speaking about getting sick, it's not just bad luck, it's not just being human, it's also partially a lot, your fault.
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:32.960
Specifically, how you design your life and where your health and recovery and your sleep sit on your list of priorities.
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.799
Where does it sit?
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.240
And I would know guys better than anyone.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:49.360
As a kid, as a teenager, and into my early 20s, as a I was a sickly child, sickly young adult.
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.960
The doctor's office was my most visited place.
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.879
It started to feel like a second home.
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.519
Well, except that I hated that place.
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:18.879
Flu after flu, coughing for weeks on end, an autoimmune condition that stuck around for a good decade, every kind of food poisoning you could imagine, later emotional regulation issues, an internal roller coaster that's spilled into my romantic relationships and every other kind.
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:24.399
Never getting consistent with high-quality work while trying to hack my sleep.
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:34.799
Never making real progress in training because of all of the above and you know, all the sleep hacks and the diet roller coaster that followed, was paired with emotional roller coaster.
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.440
And I couldn't see it.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:45.279
Obviously, I didn't know better, I didn't have coaches around me, like you know, all kinds of stories, but I couldn't see it.
00:11:46.240 --> 00:12:05.919
Fast forward a decade, my early 30s, that's where I really started looking into it and working on it, getting my coaching certifications under the belt from
changed psychology to nutritional to emotional mastery to stress regulation, flow state, high performance.
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.120
And uh and then now almost into my 40s, getting sick.
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.399
Sometimes I feel like yesterday I felt something.
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.360
Today I'm like, it's probably gone without any medications.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.759
I'm gonna tell you my secret in a moment here.
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:27.360
So sometimes I feel something coming on, and before I can think twice, it's gone.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:32.320
Autoimmunity resolved quite some time ago without medications.
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:46.720
Emotionally, I've never felt this balanced, resilient, and optimistic through every swing of the entrepreneurial right you can imagine, every ongoing setback up and down.
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:54.799
It's still happening, it's just not so much reflective in how I feel or how you'd see me every day.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:05.759
Training never felt better, abs that stick, lifting heavier than ever, 55 pull-ups in today's workout, starting from barely one when I was a teenager.
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:15.360
I hated pull-ups because I was so bad at I was quite good at everything else at our physical training classes, but pull-ups it just did not work for me.
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:24.799
Now I'm working on my line capacity to improve my voice so I can deliver this podcast better, but also to chase a sprinting personal best.
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.720
I've always been a sprinter, so I want to get good at it again.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:30.879
Work steadier than ever.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:36.000
I'm going for my best sales month ever in my like entire life.
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.279
So, what changed?
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.840
What changed is I finally took the basics I preach in my coaching seriously myself, especially sleep.
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:51.039
I got certified as a sleep recovery stress management coach some time ago.
00:13:51.279 --> 00:14:03.039
And after that, working with on it with all of my clients and reading more on that and getting more into details, and we have so much research coming out, how it all works.
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.039
It just I start loving this field more and more.
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.279
Because um, let me explain you why.
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:19.919
I never compromise on sleep anymore because I know what happens there during sleep, specifically during sleep.
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.919
Sleep is where your immune system does its main work.
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.399
Google it, immune system and sleep.
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.039
You'll be amazed how much of immune system proper function depends on your proper sleep.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:49.120
Sleep is where your learnings get learned, meaning it gets remembered, your memory depends on sleep, and it gets metabolized into the live business and relationship lessons, into
insights you can carry into real days.
00:14:49.279 --> 00:15:01.759
Like there is research showing that people are twice as likely to spot a hidden solution when they sleep well compared to people who sleep less well.
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.879
It's where you get your gains, like the biceps, the sprint speed, the movement patterns.
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.039
Maybe you're learning dancing, or sleep will help with that as well.
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.840
It's where your built-in therapist does its main job.
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:25.679
Your epidemic movement sleep, your self-regulation, your perspective taking, your all-or-nothing thinking gets everything.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:40.480
It's where fat loss gets optimized, insulin sensitivity and all, your blood sugar levels, your hunger hormones, any hormones actually, your hunger hormones stay down, your discipline gets up, gets recharged.
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:46.480
It's where clarity comes from, what to focus on and what to pass on.
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:55.200
Sleep on a problem, and you're more than two acts as likely to spot the hidden solution the next day.
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.960
The endless options and the noise settle.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.639
And the one thing that matters rises to the top of mind, your mind.
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.480
And it's where your decision-making machine gets its maintenance.
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:13.120
Your brain literally gets cleaned overnight, lymphatic system.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.000
Look it up.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.600
Like brushing your teeth for your brain automated.
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:28.320
Which matters most for your brain CEO, your prefrontal cortex, the thinking part of your brain, the logical part that does the dreaming, the designing, your best decision making.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:35.840
That's the part that tamts your animal impulses and cravings and stops you from sabotaging your own lifelong dreams.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:44.000
And so, my secret to superimmunity when I feel something's off, I sleep extra.
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:50.799
Like I set my alarm sometimes, an hour later, I get to bed earlier.
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.159
Like my life depends on it.
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.960
Because it kind of does.
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:03.759
Here's the pattern I see with my super ambitious and high-performing clients who keep getting sick.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:09.519
Pressure builds, they push, sleep gets cut first.
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.519
They're like, Oh, I don't have time to sleep.
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:12.079
Okay.
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:19.759
Then comes an event with lots of people and lots of germs, and also a diet and lifestyle.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:40.720
Somewhere there, start sleeping because when you're sleep deprived and you don't you just don't feel like doing all of the healthy things, maybe some extra wine also somewhere there, and then bam! Like you ordered it, you're sick, and then you can blame luck, or you can look at your patents.
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.400
Like nobody is immune to that.
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.680
That's life.
00:17:52.960 --> 00:18:08.640
But how often it happens, how long it lasts, and how much it derails you from all of the progress and dreams you have are all in your hands.
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:14.000
How often it happens, how long it lasts, and how much it derails you.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.039
So look at your sleep pattern honestly, this week.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:26.160
Are you doing the best you can, or just the best you can get away with?
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.839
An interesting question, right, guys?
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:46.240
Before we jump into our the next part of our call, where I'll announce a really amazing gift for you, which is even better than a sleep list that you'll forget once you stop listening to this podcast in a few minutes.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:55.200
A real gift that is super valuable and not a lot of people will get in their life ever, but you get you'll get a chance.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:14.000
Don't forget, guys, to share this podcast episode maybe with that person who you love, who you care about, who keeps pushing their sleep away, even though that's the thing they need in their life the most to upgrade all the other areas that they care about, whether that's work, relationships, health, and fitness.
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.440
Right.
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:21.039
So share this podcast episode with them first and foremost.
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.319
And now back to the gift.
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:32.559
If this hits home, this pattern of pushing, of sprinting, and crashing and getting sick.
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:41.440
I've opened a few just today, as Claude advised me, I've opened a few free sleep reset reset calls.
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.119
This month for sure, till the end of October.
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.640
Then I'm not sure.
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:52.319
I got just signed up a new client, and I told her, hey, I'm glad you got in.
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.880
I'm raising prices, and they're already on the website.
00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:10.079
So sleep reset call till it last, available in the show notes as a gift to you, or you can share it with anyone who you care about, who you love, and who really, really, really needs it.
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.920
They gotta be ready to change.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.240
Um not gonna fool you.
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:26.640
There has to be a desire to change this pattern when you finally get sick of getting sick and all this pushing and restarting, pushing and getting injured.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.440
Your sleep has a lot to do with injuries too, by the way.
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.200
So share this gift of sleep reset call.
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.119
And I promise you, they're gonna sleep better.
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.240
Again, there should be a
desire for that, at least some.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:46.720
If a person does not want to change, there is very little force in the universe that can force them.
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:54.240
But if you think that they might love it, please share that with them or take advantage yourself till it lasts, right?
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.440
So free, absolutely free sleep reset call.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:04.319
And then after the session, if you would like to keep working on your habits together, that's gonna be really amazing.
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.519
I love working with people.
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:19.920
If not, you'll get two, three habits that will help you to start improving your sleep habits, your consistency on sleep, different issues and challenges that you might be having with sleep or getting enough sleep.
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:20.240
Right?
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:29.039
So you're gonna get a couple of actionable takeaways personalized for your life that will help you to start getting consistent better sleep.
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:40.400
And with that, and with that, let me remind you that you're gonna get better fat loss, better immune system, you're gonna learn better, you're gonna have more insights for your business, for your relationships.
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.279
By the way, you're gonna get better at relationships.
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:50.079
It's your built-in therapist that gets more hours when you get more sleep.
00:21:50.160 --> 00:22:06.559
You're gonna get muscle, you're gonna lose fat, you're gonna get more clarity on what matters, and you're gonna be better at focusing on what matters and on decision making and attaining your cravings and other animal impulses that often sabotage your lifelong dreams.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:12.160
