How to Deal With Stress (Without Raiding the Biscuit Tin)

Stress eating is normal — most of us dive head-first into the biscuit tin like it owes us money.

But using food to calm stress is like putting a Band-Aid on a burst pipe… it doesn’t fix a thing.

Sure, meditation and deep breathing are great — science loves them.

But let’s be honest: not everyone has a Zen garden, a quiet room, or a kid that chills out on command.

So here’s the practical move: walk or train.

A 30–60 minute walk or gym session gives you space to cool your head, reset your mood, and burn off that cortisol in a way your future self will thank you for.

And yes… you do have 30 minutes.

If you think you don’t, that’s just poor planning sneaking around pretending to be “busy.” 😉

Weight loss is simple, not easy!

Yes it’s even more complex than a calorie deficit, strength training, and eating enough protein.

You still have to look at sleep, stress, daily activity, and other mental factors, but the above is an excellent start.

You don’t need to be a cage fighter… but you do need something that keeps you sharp. 🥊🔥

A sport, a practice, a challenge — something that humbles you, strengthens you, focuses you, and keeps you disciplined.

It doesn’t have to take over your life… it just has to shape it.

Because when you train:
• You stay grounded
• You stay strong
• You stay ready
• You build a skill most people never will

And let’s be honest — it’s also nice knowing you can handle yourself if life throws a “surprise round” your way. 😉

The right coach becomes more than a trainer… they become a mentor who pushes you to become the best version of yourself.

Find your thing. Commit to it. Let it build you.
That’s how you ignite your best self. 🔥

Excessive scrolling on social media is another form of stress and it’s wrecking your energy.

These quick fixes of dopamine are not beneficial for your energy or mental health.

Do something more proactive such as read a book, take a walk, meditate, exercise, or even strike up a positive conversation with your partner.

Stop mindlessly scrolling! It’s doing more damage than good.

🔥 “Homeless… but my dad made it feel like an adventure.”

This is Will’s story from the inner fire podcast — and man, it hits different.

Most people hear “we slept in a work truck and a van” and think trauma.

But will? He said it was fun.

Because his dad turned survival into a game, chaos into stories, and struggle into strength.

Some kids learn their abcs… he learned resilience.

He learned, “nothing can break me.”
“I get knocked down? I get back up.”

And he learned it from a man who showed up like freakin’ superman.

That’s why people who grew up in tough situations walk with a different confidence — not arrogance… just proof that they’ve already survived worse.

If you’re in the struggle right now, remember:
Strength isn’t built in comfort.
It’s built in the truck.
It’s built in the van.
It’s built in the moments nobody else ever sees.

Save this for the days you forget how powerful you really are. 💪🔥

A couple weeks ago we ran the Park Fitness Crawl, and honestly… what a day.

Not just a workout — a full community takeover. ⚡🔥

We hit HIIT → Strength → Mobility across three park stops, and the energy was unreal.

Strangers showed up… and left as friends.

People laughed through the burn. Legs shook. Pride levels skyrocketed. 😂💪

Then we wrapped it up the only way Ignite Fit Life knows how:
prizes, coffee, and donuts.

Because balance, my friend. ☕🍩🔥

(Yes, you’re allowed to stretch AND eat a donut. It’s called wellness.)

Moments like these are why this community is special.

Fitness. Fun. Real connection.

Not just reps — relationships.

If you were there… thank you for making it such a vibe.

If you missed it… don’t miss the next one. The crew is growing. 👀🔥

Let’s keep building this Bay Area movement one sweaty smile (and occasional donut) at a time.

STOP SNACKING.

Not because you’re hungry — but because your stress is out here pretending to be your stomach.

You don’t need another bag of whatever-the-hell.

You need a better outlet.

Try this instead:
2 minutes of breathing
A quick walk
A quick workout burst
Or just eat a proper meal with protein + fiber so you actually stay full

Snacking is a sometimes thing — not an everyday sport.

Sort it out. Your goals are watching.

Stop drinking coffee!!

You’re using it a a crutch for more energy when in reality you’re not sleeping, your stress is high, and you’re probably drinking too much alcohol.

One cup of coffee is enough for one day.

If you need more than that you need to sort out your quality of life

Your first week or two in the gym isn’t about going heavy — it’s about going smart. 🧠💪

We start light. We lock in your form. You might feel sore tomorrow, but that’s your body learning.

Once you’ve got the movement down, we dial it in.
We tweak, we adjust, we build your plan — not a cookie-cutter one.

By week 4, you’ll notice strength gains because we’ve done it the right way: progressive overload, not ego lifting.

🔥 Form first. Then force.

Even when life was chaos — parties, drinks, bad choices — one thing stayed solid: lifting.

No matter what happened on the weekend, monday meant weights. 🏋️‍♂️

That consistency saved me. It kept me grounded when everything else could’ve gone off the rails.

That’s the power of fitness — it’s not just about muscle, it’s about mental armor.
