The other day I popped a post in about what’s gone on in the background to get up my business up and running. The post was about how I needed to learn everything from scratch, basically I put myself through what I laughingly call “Katie University” as I’ve tried to work it all out and put the pieces of the business puzzle together.

And you know what, as I look at that post, I can see that’s exactly how dedicated I was for the 25 years preceding it when I was putting myself through another version of “Katie University” when I was trying to work out how to lose weight and stop relapsing and putting it back on. I wish I’d logged the hours I’d spent reading and listening to audiobooks, CDs, going to workshops, seminars, and taking courses. Not to mention my fetish for constant note-taking and writing down ideas and insights which filled many journals over the years as I tried to piece together the puzzle that is human behaviour....

I became a Dietless Living expert after being stuck in dieting hell for 25 years.

It didn’t matter what I did, nothing ever addressed or resolved the underlying issue behind my weight problem.

I’d reached a few crisis points over my life and each time I cleaned up my life and went to the next level in health and wellness.

Over 25 years I tried every diet, exercise program, alternative wellness programs, talking therapies and a full range of body and healing workers, and moved my life to all things organic, took every pill, powder and potion, but none of it gave me control of the driving force inside me.

In that time I also became a Master of NLP & Neuro Re-Patterning, Kinesiology, became professionally trained in Ericksonian Hypnosis, Results Coaching & Subconscious Reprograming, Suicide Intervention Skills, Pyschosomatic Therapies and studied to be a Naturopath because I wanted to know what drives our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Learning about human...

When circus elephants are young, their trainer ties a rope to their back leg then wraps the rope around a heavy stake in the ground. The baby elephant is not strong enough to break free. In time, it learns to be constrained – to not even try.

Later, as a fully mature adult, the trainer only has to tie a rope around the elephants leg and attach the other end to any pole or stake, and the elephant believes it's still trapped, even though it has amazing strength and power and could break free with zero effort. But because it's been conditioned to believe it's not strong enough, it no longer tries.

That's how I felt after years of yo yo weight loss/weight gain. My mind became conditioned to think it was impossible for me to break-free, that it was impossible for me to ever succeed at ditching the weight for life. And as a consequence over time, I'd begin weight loss programs with a limiting belief about my ability to succeed from the get go, and eventually I became unwilling to...

Understanding that everything is a system.

Our universe and earth are all systems: solar system, eco systems, marine systems.

And inside you there are many systems: biological, psychological, cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, skeletal and muscular systems, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive, are all systems.

Your consciousness is system too: unconscious, conscious and higher consciousness which is all driving your mental, emotional, behavioural and physical systems.

And lastly, your life is a system: home, work, family, friends, social, local, global.

But what happens when one or more of your systems begin to malfunction?

Disorder ensues and depending how many systems and the degree to which they malfunction, depends on how much disorder you’ll have to deal with before you can get the systems of your life back in order and functioning properly again.

But the more mental, emotional or physical energy you’re required to expel to bring your...

"I contacted Katie in a terrible state, depressed and not liking myself very much. I wanted to lose weight as I thought that was the answer to my problem. I had struggled with my weight for as long as I could remember, yo-yoing up and down on the scales and with the fluctuating weight came my fluctuating mood.

What I learnt by having Katie as my coach was that being lighter/smaller wasn’t the answer,...

Gary’s philosophy is that the key to extraordinary success is focusing daily on the “One Thing” that’s most important for achieving each individual goal you have, rather than scattering yourself in many directions, multitasking, trying to do too many things and overwhelming yourself.

He predicts that when you know and focus exclusively on the most important thing everyday, everything else falls into place.

Essentially what you do is start by thinking big – seeing your goal achieved – then narrowing your focus until you’re thinking small, thinking about the detail and focusing on the most important thing you can do right now to help you get to your goal.

It’s got me thinking:

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...

"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,...

“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...

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.
