Elza Kosmicki: How Small Daily Practices Create Major Transformations

It’s easy to keep your cool during meditation, but real life isn’t always quite so serene.

So what do you do when someone cuts you off in traffic?

Simple daily practices like meditation, breathwork, Qigong, and especially martial arts can teach us how to keep our composure and flow in the face of life’s many challenges, even if someone’s throwing a punch at you.

So today, I’m thrilled that joining me on the show is my friend, Elzabieta Kosmicki, a Martial Arts teacher, entrepreneur, Qigong instructor, host of the Reasons & Season podcast, and a mother of 2.

With over 20+ years of experience in energy healing modalities and martial arts, Elza has professional credentials in BodyTalk, Classical Chinese Medicine, Structural Integration, Somatic Therapy, Women’s and Children’s Health, Eastern and Western Herbalism, Qigong, and Martial Arts, including Enshin Karate.

She has some powerful words on training to build resilience and confidence while breaking through emotional limitations.

I hope you enjoy today’s show. We’re chatting about:

• How small daily practices can lead to major transformations

• How to keep your composure when someone cuts you off in traffic
• Martial arts training to build resilience and confidence

Before You Go

Here’s a 5-star review for Vitamin D Stack that came in from Emily on our very own WildSuperfoods.com, she says:

Stacked!

Living in Alaska, I have taken Vitamin D supplements for my whole adult life. I appreciate the STACK of Vit A, E and Ks. It Just makes sense! 

I have been taking it with the Mega Omegas for best absorption practice. Great product. I do wish there were a subscription with each individual product or together as a duo. For now I will continue buying it monthly. 

Thank you Alyson, Abel and family.

Emily, thank you so much for dropping this review for Vitamin D Stack.

It’s thrilling to know that you’re all the way in. And Emily, you’re absolutely right that pairing up the Vitamin D Stack with the Mega Omegas supplement from wild deep sea fish oil increases the absorbability of the vitamin D with its cofactors, so it’s a great way to take it.

It’s the way I take it myself with these as a combo, and for all of you out there who haven’t tried it, we have some great new deals and bundles. Subscribe & Save is all set up over at WildSuperfoods.com.

And for a limited time, we’re also giving away a free bottle of Vitamin D
Stack with your order over from  WildSuperfoods.com.

So all you have to do is go over to WildSuperfoods.com, and, yes, you have to be living in the United States, but also you could be living in Alaska.

It’s pretty cool that we can ship it out there, hopefully we’ll be expanding soon. But we’re just a little mom and pop shop, we’re not available on Amazon or in any stores or anything else like that.

So if you’d like to support this show and keep it coming to you, please come and visit us at WildSuperfoods.com.

Also, we have those brand new snazzy blue blocking glasses over at WildRx.com. Don’t forget to check those out as well.

By the way, this episode of Fat-Burning Man is brought to you by our family company, Wild Superfoods over at WildSuperfoods.com, and our friends at LMNT.

Are you frustrated with the lack of healthy sports drink options out there?

When it comes to electrolytes, the popular drinks on the market actually have low amounts of electrolytes and miss the mark on the optimal ratio that your body needs.

LMNT is a surprisingly tasty electrolyte drink mix without any sugar, fillers or dodgy ingredients. And it’s actually packed with more electrolytes than standard sports drinks in the ideal ratio your body needs.

It comes in individual grab and go packets that mix easily in water, so you can get a pick-me-up wherever you are.

And for a limited time, LMNT is giving away free sample packs to Fat-Burning Man listeners with 8 individual serving packets, so you can try the different flavors for yourself.

So to claim your free LMNT sample pack, just go to drinklmnt.com/wild

You’ll only need to pay a small amount for shipping, otherwise the 8-pack is 100% free for you.

You’ll get a total of 8 different flavors to try, including Orange, Raspberry, Citrus, Watermelon, Lemon Habanero, Mango Chili as well as Chocolate Salt.

So once again, just go to drinklmnt.com/wild to collect your free electrolytes.
