"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."

Ask Yourself These Questions

We all have knowledge gaps that make it harder for us to lose weight and keep it off.

There are things we know we don’t know and then there are the things we don’t know that we don’t know, and these are the ones that keep tripping you up.

Here are a few things you need to know if you want to start a weight loss program and succeed this year;

• What specifically do you need to change to create the outcome you want? (and it’s not just food and exercise)

• How specifically you’re going to change to achieve the outcome you want? (mentally, emotionally, behaviourally)

• What will the ripple effect of the changes you make be for yourself and those around you?

Think about the people in your life that you currently do “food” with:
🌺Family
🌺Friends
🌺Work colleagues
🌺Committees
🌺Sporting Groups

How will they be affected by the changing you? Will everyone embrace the new you? If not, how can you proactively problem solve and turn a potential problem int...

"It was the LIVING LIFE that allowed me to lose 20 kilos..."

When we think about making changes, we often procrastinate because we think of change as 'challenging', 'daunting', 'uncomfortable' or we just plain dread it.

We think we have to give up something to gain something and we're not always keen on giving up things we've grown attached to, even if they're things that no longer serve us in helpful, healthy or happy ways.

Forget about having to give anything up, you can simply allow yourself to out grow it.

Out growing stuff is easy right?

You've been doing it your whole life.

You've outgrown:
🎈Santa
🎈The tooth fairy
🎈Sucking your thumb
🎈Being scared of the dark
🎈Toys you've loved
🎈Friends from childhood
🎈Friends from school
🎈People you used to work with
🎈Neighbours you no longer live next too
🎈Groups you're no longer involved with
🎈Schedules you've lived by
🎈Having someone look after you
🎈Playground scuffles
🎈Being upset with your friend for having their lunch with someone else
🎈The fashion you wore in the 80's
🎈The hairstyle you had when you were a te...

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

Have you seen the movie Yes Man with Jim Carrey?

Great movie about how saying "Yes" to everything can create radical change.

But for the women I work with, not saying "Yes" isn't their problem.

In fact, saying "Yes" is how they've gotten in the situation their in.

They've said "Yes" to soooo many things, they're on the verge of mental, emotional and physical burnout.

"No" is the word that's missing from your vocabulary;

✔No to more & more responsibilities

✔No to every person who steps on your boundaries

✔No to not speaking up

✔No to the voice in your head

✔No to chronic stress

✔No to being paid less than your male colleagues

✔No feeling powerless

✔No to conditioning

✔No to believing you have to do it all

✔No to not asking for help

✔No to emotional and comfort eating

✔No to not looking after your health

Learn the exciting art of saying NO.

And say YES to healthy, happy, living.

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”

Your weight and health goals does not stop at the number on the scale.

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...
