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...

Learning to work with animals can teach us so much about learning how to work with the other people in our life as well as with ourselves. What animals sense in us and react to is no different to how we interact with other humans.

This week I’m talking to Joanne Watson about her biggest obstacle in her life working with horses and the lessons we can all learn from it.

I wanted to create a weight loss program that helps people lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, because we want a way to enjoy our food and our life don’t we?

This is a way to lose weight and positively impact health through changing habits and lifestyle while preventing
relapse, it’s about longevity of change. The program consists of four different phases:

Phase 1: Identifying the problem
Phase 2: Changing the environment
Phase 3: Changing the routine
Phase 4: Maintaining the change

This way of living leads to weight loss success because it goes through the process of elevating happiness through changes in health that naturally lead to weight loss, backed up by a system to prevent relapse so you can enjoy
your life with a new healthier and happier body.

It's a process that can be followed by anyone who wants to lose weight and stay healthy for life and the program is divided into three sections: preparation, change, and maintenance.

In each section there are...

What’s perseverance? It’s maintaining steady persistence and continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.

And that’s what you need to change your life’s trajectory and that’s what Barney Hodgson has in spades, the ability to persevere.

Sometimes we have to break ourselves down, change many, if not all, aspects of our lives because we find the way we’re living our life is no longer tolerable. And the biggest obstacle we face in those times is it leads us to being incredibly vulnerable to our own inner demons as we take the reins of our life back and start to steer it through conscious choices that go against every natural instinct that is telling you to stay the same.

Barney realised that the road he was on was no longer working for him and he changed every aspect of his life and started carving out his new path. He’s pulled himself up by his bootstraps every single day and fights for what he...

Are you bathroom scales a friend or foe?

Do you give your bathroom scales too much power over your happiness?

I did.

Until I realised I was asking them for the wrong information.

Instead of asking them to tell me how much weight I was losing when I was on a diet, I should have been using them every day to tell me how much weight I was putting on!

The brain is a tricky thing and it used to always befuddle me how I could gain 20kg without noticing?

Yes, you heard me right…I could put on 20kg’s without noticing!

Maybe you’ve had the same experience?

I don’t know how many times I asked myself “How on earth did I gain 20kg without noticing?

Well, here’s the answer, and it’s a ridiculously simple one too……

It happens because we simply stop stepping on the bathroom scales when we don’t like what they tell us.

Instead of using the information in a constructive way i.e.; take note of what’s happening and make small...

Grief is a universal emotional and mental obstacle that we all have to go through and find ways to live with. And it doesn’t matter how many times we experience grief, it will always be different because people, places, situations and circumstances are never the same because how we feel about those people, places, situations, and circumstances is always different.

Julie Cliff shares her experiences of overcoming grief, leaving a job she loved with the Melbourne Storm rugby team, and mapping across those skills into her own business helping others to declutter and get their homes organised.

And what does decluttering your home and losing weight have in common? Watch this episode and find out.

It’s easy to forget how much we know about things that really captivate us or the areas of life that we’ve been imbued with isn’t it?

I was in a conversation with some people who were talking about a previous co-worker. They were talking about them with the curiosity that only hindsight seems to bring to challenging work situations, and I offered some perspectives that they didn’t seem to be seeing.
What I didn’t notice was that I talked for about half an hour to what turned out to be a captivated audience. They were blown away by the depth of knowledge I was sharing and of the multiple reference points that I was leading from.

I left that conversation thinking to myself, why was my conversation so exhilarating for them when what I was sharing was reasonably basic information?

I’m still not sure to be honest, but after some contemplation, I think that what is basic knowledge to me on that topic isn’t really basic to others who haven’t...

As captivating people go, Anton Guinea is definitely amongst them.

He has an impressive list of credentials but what really stands out to me is that he has been in 2 very real crisis situations in his life. It was finding out how those experiences have shaped not only his life but career choices and the ripple effect out to others as he now teaches leadership under pressure and how to advance through adversity that provides great insights into both our fragile humanness and our mighty fortitude to overcome obstacles.

And what does leadership under pressure and losing weight have in common? Watch this episode and find out.
