Today I want to talk about how to remove the rules and make it easy for ourselves to move our bodies.

I recently started going to the gym again after many years of just enjoying doing my KT Gym at home.

I to join the gym again as they have machines that can work some muscles in better ways.

I stopped going to gyms over a decade ago though because it was all too hard to manage; packing a bag so I could do it before or after work, having to set aside at least 2 hours of my day to get there, do a work out etc. It was all too arduous on top of hectic work and life schedules it was not something I could maintain.

But now I’ve change the rules that I had about going to gym.

I am now near enough to a gym that I can walk there in my lunch hour and I make it as easy as possible for me to overcome the obstacle of myself so I can go 3 times a week.

To overcome my own objections about how time/effort/interest, I make it as easy as possible for myself. I don’t change my clothes or my shoes (I...

These principles of Dietless Living® that help overcome the obstacles in weight loss, health, self and in life are Personal Health Leadership™ skills, happiness, playfulness and relaxation. They help us to overcome obstacles in our lives by using the power of our own minds and bodies.

How to Overcome Weight Loss Obstacles In 6 Simple Steps™ is an online course that goes into detail about the tools that we can use to build our Personal Health Leadership™ skills that improve mental, emotional and physical health that lead to weight loss, as well as life satisfaction.

The course shows how happiness, playfulness, relaxation and Personal Health Leadership™ help people overcome obstacles that lead to the habits we create result in weight gain.

Happiness, playfulness, relaxation and Personal Health Leadership™ skills help us overcome obstacles by providing us with the tools necessary for self-development, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, emotional regulation and mindfulness skills.

And it's how we think, feel and deal with the people, places, situations and events of our life that either lead us away from them or towards them.

If you want more help with this just book in for a private session and lets just get it done this week because life is for living and an ounce of adjustment is always easier to implement than 20 pound of change™, it’s time to enjoy the life you’ve been looking for.

I made time for skating again on the weekend and nearly doubled what I achieved last week. Of the 16.5km, 6.5 is skating (last week I only did 3.5km). I was a bit wonky to start but by the end I was happy to notice that I was pushing off properly and without thinking about it. I also noticed that I was having long stretches where I was actually looking around at the lovely scenery rather than being fully focused on what I was doing.

I'm still not ready to leave my "training" ground where I have the comfort of a railing within arms reach if I need it, but if I keep up the regular practice, the time is getting closer when I will be able to venture further along the kilometers of river walk way.

Happiness, playfulness, and Personal Health Leadership™ are three principles of Dietless Living® that help overcome the obstacles in weight loss, health, self, and in life.

Happiness is the state of being happy. It is a natural human emotion that we can all feel and experience. Happiness helps us to be more optimistic, which in turn helps us to see opportunities instead of obstacles. In this way, happiness helps us to overcome obstacles by giving us the opportunity to see the good in life and live our lives with a sense of confidence and positive expectation.

Playfulness is a state of mind that allows people to think about things in a less serious way, which also makes it easier for them to find solutions for problems. Playfulness also helps people be more creative because they’re not worried about being judged or criticized for their ideas or actions. In this way, playfulness also helps people overcome their obstacles in life, self and in health and weight loss.

Resilience is key in adapting to the things that happen in our day to day life. So what’s it mean to be resilient?

Resilience is our ability to:

✨ Spring back, to rebound, its our capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness, it’s our ability to return to balance after being bent, compressed or stretched out of shape, our ability to recover readily from illness, depression and adversity – it’s how buoyant we are.

🎉 Other ways to think of our resiliency is to think about our flexibility – mental, emotional and physical flexibility, our pliability and suppleness to adapt to any and all changes, it’s about how supple we are, our “give” and how well we bounce.

Now think about those words – flexible, pliable, suppleness, springiness, give, bounce…don’t they all sound like words of fun and play?

What's the secret to having more fun and playfulness in your life when you're flat out busy with unmovable deadlines and more on the way with Christmas?

We had a lot of fun working out how to use this new app, I'd love to know what you think of our first short video! If you have a second will you reply with a couple of words if you liked it or not?

An ounce of adjustment is always easier to implement than a pound of change™.

Enjoy the life you’ve been looking for™.

When I began my Dietless Living® weight loss journey and developing my Personal Health Leadership™ skills I began noticing how happiness, playfulness and relaxation were the cornerstone ingredients to my success.

I had to learn the skills of being happy every day though because for me happiness was something I thought I could only have if I had a worry free life.

But I discovered that happiness is something that only each person can actively create for themselves, whether there are things to worry about or not, because happiness is really is a skill we have to learn and build like everything else.

Happiness is more than just an emotion; it’s something that mostly comes from creating an intentional lifestyle and a healthy, forward focused mindset. And while happiness alone cannot save us from disease, poverty or tragedy, living a happy life and developing our Personal Health Leadership™ skills can make it much easier to cope with the difficulties we all face when they come.

And it’s...

Changing our lifestyle isn’t always easy, but it can be done with the right approach, strategy, and mindset. When we’re able to maintain a change in our lifestyle we feel more confident, experience less stress, sleep better and have better relationships with ourselves and others.

And the most effective way to maintain a change is to develop your Personal Health Leadership™ skills.

We all know that we should eat better, exercise more, and sleep well. But we can't seem to find the time or motivation to make those changes happen and keep up the maintenance of them so they become part of our ongoing life.

The reality is that true weight loss comes from improving the health of our mind and body and changing our choices in food and keeping our bodies strong and flexible has a profound impact on that. But it’s through developing our Personal Health Leadership™ skills that will ultimately lead us to making and maintaining those changes for the rest of our life.

This week I'm talking about the old habits.

One of my greatest obstacles and long standing habits that I consistently have to overcome, is being a workaholic.

I've had this pattern of behaviour since I first started working at age 15. It's something I easily fall into, but In the beginning it showed itself simply as a high work ethic and I worked diligently at whatever task I was given, always eager to please!

But over the years and jobs that simply developed into being a workaholic, working long hours and working hard at my jobs.

At least these days working for myself, I can say I do truly enjoy the time I spend working. But hey, my business isn't called Dietless Working, it's called Dietless Living® and it's time to hold the mirror up to myself again and get back to doing the living part.

I love walking but I never know where to find the great walking tracks, but recently I found a great app called All Trails - so problem solved!

Last weekend for our long weekend in Queensland,...
