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.

Christmas is on the horizon and diaries are already filling up with the first of the Christmas catch ups, parties and events.

And along with them comes the first feelings of food stress.

We get apprehensive about parties and the big day, we get food anxiety because there’s only ever 2 options we give ourselves, resist or give in, right?

So how do we get through the festive season without over indulging so we can start the new year feeling confident to take on the big changes we want to make?

How do we create a shift in our mindset that will free our mind this Christmas?

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...

Happy days are skating days.....sway, glide, push....such a mesmerizing mantra!

I have'nt been practicing my skating as much as I want, the last time was 2 months ago. But even with a 2 month gap between my 1st & 2nd go I noticed an incredible difference in my balance and technique. And oh the joy of it all! I wasn't planning on taking a photo of me at the end, I was knackered after rolling along the amazing Brissy river and Howard Smith Wharf for 3.5km, but a lady walked past and commented on how pink my face was, so I thought I better have a look. It's true, pink really is the colour of happiness Mind you, I went in the middle of the day and the temp was about 32 degrees...but if I don't go when I can, I don't go, so better to be skating in the heat of the day then not skating at all is now my new philosophy.

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...

Anxiety and panic have a massive impact on all areas of our health and our weight and Tammy Rolfe suffered with GAD and social phobia from the age of 14 until she finally had a breakthrough at age 37.

Anxiety, overthinking and excessive worry are exhausting and they rob you of the happiness of life.
