Synopsis

The concept of life-work balance is centuries old, but many people consider it new-age. This is a counter-intuitive approach to work-life balance. In today’s society, work often comes first and then your life follows, allowing you to take care of yourself somehow, sometime. If and when you have the time.

In Live Life Fully, Sabrina Cadini, as a holistic life coach, shares her insight as to her this rarely happens with her clients. This causes frustration, stress, depression, health issues, and mediocre results in business. Modern life prioritizes work, being always on the run, and celebrates busyness. As a result, we tend to put ourselves last in our to-do list and it’s taking a toll on our health and well-being.

People often say, “My business failed because I didn’t set the right goals,” or, “I didn’t have enough money,” or “I didn’t have the experience,” or “I wasn’t focused enough”, and so on. But, a business also fails because people don’t take care of themselves. The main reasons are:

- You’re not fueling your body and brain with the right nutrients (real food, that is – not processed or packaged meals rich in carbs and refined sugar)
- You’re sleep-deprived (we recharge, detoxify, and heal our cells while we sleep)
- You’re leading a sedentary life (instead, exercise boosts our immune system, increases blood flow in our body and brain, and it produces hormones responsible for our happiness, positivity, creativity)
- You’re not finding the time to practice self-care (a necessary aspect of our physical and mental health)
- You’re not recognizing burnout as a potentially dangerous threat to your health (and are letting the stress take over day after day instead of guiding you towards focus)

Does this sound familiar to you? If you’re not able to be there for your business, who will?

It is known among those who succeed that personal growth breeds growth in anything else: business, relationships, conflict, etc. It is crucial that you thrive as an individual first. “The greatest wealth is health”, as said by the ancient Roman poet Virgil thousands of years ago. Nothing is more valuable in our life.

We live in an era where chronic stress and chronic disease are on the rise, but we can take control of our well-being by taking better care of ourselves.

The book goes against the current by introducing Life-Work Balance instead of Work-Life Balance. We are human beings, not human doings. Shouldn’t we live first, then work? Or at least understand that to work well, it is in our best interests to put ourselves first?

We need time to rest, to relax, to recharge. Our bodies and our brains perform better when they have the time to recharge and they are aligned. They should be considered as a system, not as two separate entities. Together, they are a powerful ally in our goal setting.

Are you ready to:
- Lead a healthier lifestyle?
- Increase your energy?
- Improve your confidence and positivity?
- Boost your focus?
- Become more creative and productive?
- Improve your relationships?
- Become more successful and profitable?

There’s much more than trying to find a few hours to relax and set boundaries between you and your clients. It all starts within your body and your brain.

After experiencing burnout, and thankfully minor health issues in 2011 as an event and wedding planning company owner, Sabrina Cadini decided to take back her life in 2012 and start over. By focusing on herself before taking care of others, she created a system with proven strategies that helped improve her own well-being, increase focus and productivity, become happier and less stressed, and more successful and profitable in her business.

As a certified holistic life coach with studies in brain fitness, neuroscience and the mechanisms that can help us improve our lifestyle, make better decisions, and create lasting results in our personal life and at work, Sabrina has equipped herself with the methods and tools to bring life-work balance results to hundreds of people via her social media following, clients and community partners.

She offers simple explanations and strategies borrowed from biochemistry, neuroscience (such as neuroplasticity and neurogenesis), and the fascinating field of epigenetics, which she has been using in her coaching practice to inspire and empower clients to live a vibrant life, a life of their dreams.

What happens in your body when you eat the right foods? What happens in your brain while you sleep? What mechanisms are involved when you jog? What chemicals are produced when you meditate?

This is the type of information Sabrina will share in order to show exactly why you should optimize the body and brain before everything else. Live Life Fully will guide you through a transformational journey where you will begin to gradually increase control of your life, manage your stress better, create more meaning and success, and achieve your goals without sacrificing well-being. Sabrina will also introduce you to biohacking, which is the art and science of upgrading your body and brain through internal and external stimuli for a positive outcome. The goal here is to improve the quality of your life and even extend your life span.

Unique storytelling: Miss Mocha

Sabrina Cadini’s cat, Miss Mocha, will be her muse throughout the book. As such, you will be entertained and take away several a-ha moments that relate to how we, and cats, live our lives. After living with several cats in her life, Sabrina noticed that cats have certain behaviors and routines that could be adopted to live a better life. Domesticated cats still maintain their characteristics and traits, they haven’t changed through centuries. We humans, on the other hand, are the most evolved and sophisticated species today, and we live a lifestyle that is very different from the ones of our ancestors.

Miss Mocha lets us not forget that we are still an animal species and we depend on our planet 100% for the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil that gives us the foods we eat, the sunlight that boosts immunity, and regulates our biological clock. Our genes are still the same as our ancestors, and we should respect the basic needs of our body (nourishment, movement, rest) to allow it to do its job: keeping us healthy and thriving. Rather than living like cavemen, we could embrace many of our ancient behaviors and use them to our advantage for a better, more mindful and meaningful life. Cats are actually the perfect vehicle to teach us these great lessons when it comes to staying true to your nature and living life fully. Miss Mocha’s antics and sassy attitude will help you understand why we, as human beings, should pay more attention to our basic needs in order to live more energized, focused, positive, mindful, creative, productive, healthier, and happier.
