A man was walking along the beach where thousands of starfish had been washed ashore after a storm. As he walked he noticed a boy picking up and gently throwing them back into the ocean.

Approaching the boy he asked, “Young man, what are you doing?”

“Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die,” the boy replied.

The man laughed and said, “It's a wonderful gesture young man, but there's miles of beach and thousands of starfish, your efforts won't make any difference.”

After listening politely, the boy bent down to pick up another starfish and threw it into the surf. Then, he smiled at the man and said, “I made a difference to that one.”

In life we often do nothing because we think that the little bit we can do to help others is simply too small to make a difference.

But I learned from my dad, a man who did a lot of volunteer work over his later life, that even if you can do something that will help one pe...

"The Life coach extraordinaire!

My personal life had become unbearable with hate, sadness and lack of care for myself. I felt horrible physically with constant shortness of breath and I wasn't achieving anything. I had no purpose and I become a recluse. The worst part was the head noise; I literally couldn't find a kind thing to say about myself. My head space was a record player, reflecting on my past and all the sad things that's happened to me and it finally broke my spirit & my soul. The day my body started shaking with anxiety, stress and depression, that was m...

“If you get caught in a rip, don’t discard your surfboard!”

I was both amused and amazed at what my surfing instructor said.

“Who on earth would throw away their floaty device when they're being pulled out to sea?!” I asked

“Almost all beginners.” he said.

“They panic and in their panic the board is seen as a hindrance, something that‘s dragging them out to sea, so they ditch it, thinking without the board, they’ll be able to swim to shore faster, but instead they exhaust themselves and drown.”

In that moment, I had a startling epiphany!

Whenever I felt myself caught in a rip and being pulled out to sea in my life, I too discarded my floaty devices!

I’d get so fixated on getting through whatever crisis I was in, so fixated on making “it to shore and safety”, that I’d batten down the hatches and forget about everything else.

But as I’d swim against the current of my life I’d get tired, so I’d try harder and then my sleep would start to suffer, sleeping less and having more broken sleep...

Starting a new diet is like trying to take a drink from a fire hydrant.

There's so much information to take in about what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat while trying to work it all out now before your next meal.

Changing your diet takes a lot of mental effort because you have to change the way you think about food, what you’re having at each meal, everything that’s currently in your pantry, you have to think about how you meal plan, shop, cook, and how the changes you want to make impact the other people in your life.

Jumping in boots ultimately adds tension to all systems of your life.

Real lasting change comes though through a well thought out plan that's implemented incrementally.

And a great plan begins with thinking about the big picture.

You need to know where you are, where you want to be and what has to change for you to get there.

Step 1 List out your known resources:

• What you can do right now?
• What you can’t do right now?
• Resources: time, focus, finances & ene

"We just become so fearful of things, we live in a state of survival and the more we want to control our environment which leads to tension."

Here is just one of the many advice I give my client.

Q. Which goals are easiest to achieve?

A. Ones that are just an extension of who you are or what you do already.

Q. Which goals are the hardest to achieve?

A. Ones that require you to become a different version of yourself, goals that require you to change your daily habits and do things differently.

Q. Why is it harder to achieve goals that require you to change your habits?

A. Because habits are thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviours that you’ve cultivated over many years and wired into your unconscious mind, and now those habits run on auto pilot. This means, you don’t do your habits, they do you!

Q. Why does traditional goal setting let you down when it’s a goal that requires you to change your habits?

A. Because it’s focused on the result, not the process.

Q. What kind of goals do you traditionally set when you need to lose weight?

A. Results focused goals – a number on the scale or clothes tag “I want to weight X/Be a size X”

Q. What kind of goals do you set when you join Dietless Li...

When we reach that point where we can’t stand our weight any longer and we take action to lose weight we make a very big mistake.

Because we've just reached the end of our tether, there’s an element of panic, and in our panic, the resounding thought in our head is "Get it off me, now!"

We just want the fat to go and we want it to go fast!

So we dive in, boots and all, a calorie-restrictive diet coupled with intensive exercising.

We try to go from 0 – 100 and we change everything and do too much, too quickly.

The problem is, on top of your already busy schedule, working 50, 60, 70, hours a week, under time pressures, deadlines, staff issues, conflict, and burning the midnight oil at home, along with your already depleted energy reserves, very low fitness levels and stress-related aches and pains, this is a recipe for disaster.

Why?

Your mind and body is already living in a state of survival all day every day because, among many things, you’ve already tapped your energy reserves.

Then you push y...

🥰If you're alone through the festive season:

Think about how you can turn that time to your advantage; it's a good time to do something you’ve been putting off all year. Perspective is everything, it might just be the ideal time to start that money making project you’ve been thinking about?

🥰But if you do want more social time and people in your life:

Look through your address book and start phoning people, make coffee dates, have conversations, be confident to let them know you’d like to hang out this Christmas or find somewhere to volunteer and get your happy feelings giving someone else  a happy Christmas.

🤣😂Laughter really is the best medicine:

Get quick laughter fixes on You Tube or watch funny, light movies. Leave all the heavy, depressing drama and horror on the shelf.

💃💃Beat the festive season blues with happy tunes to dance to.

🚀Be adventurous:

Go out and have some fun somewhere and do one thing you’ve always wanted to do, especially if it’s something that scares the pants off of yo...
