Are you brave?

I submit that you are.

I ask every woman who comes to work with me; "What have you conquered in your life?"

And it's shocking to see how little is written under that question.

Tonight, I invite you to grab a pen and paper, and list out 50 times that you have been brave and/or fearless in your life.

It's a long and uninteresting story that focuses on what we don't want rather than what we do want, which is, to love and accept ourselves.

Here are some ideas to do that;

🧡Recognize how remarkable and miraculous your body is and love it exactly how it is

💃 De-emphasise the desire to fit into a stereo-type image because when you focus on 'that image' you objectify your body, you de-humanise it and yourself, you are sooooo much more than that.

🤸‍♀️ Emphasise the desire to celebrate your life, your desire to live the happiest, healthiest life you possibly can.

🥰 Humanise yourself, love yourself, show compassion for yourself.

🌞Get out in the sunshine, be active, participate in life.

Exercise provides a number of physical and mental benefits, right?

However most of us find it hard to stick to exercising. So, what we actually need to do is to find a way to create a sustainable habit of moving our body.

How?

Find an activity of moving your body that is enjoyable to you. Something you love doing because the more fun it is for you, the more you stick to it.

And that's what we need consistent exercise or body movement so we experience the magnificent benefits of an active body.

"Focus on the things that you want rather than on the things you don't want."

One of the things I teach my clients is how to Go Against Every Natural Instinct and Do the Opposite.

Have you ever asked yourself why you are stuck doing the same things or being in the same situations?

That is because you are following the same habits and routines.

Remember, if you want to live life differently, you have to change your experiences and Going Against Every Natural Instincts will help to break that dominos flow throughout the day.

"You have to learn how to redirect your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and coach yourself."

Why Do Smart Women Make Mistakes When They Have To Lose Weight?🤔🤔🤔

This is a very short 1 minute 11 second audio that I wanted to share because I made this mistake over and over and over and over again and I always blamed myself.

I always told myself that there was something inherently wrong with me because I just kept falling off the weight loss wagon and piling the weight back on.😭😭😭

We simply don't realise that there are other choices to make.✔

"When you are happy, you make better and healthier choices for yourself."

"Our body is like a pressure cooker and it's building tension all day...and tension drives our eating habits."
