Hands up if you’ve set a goal to lose weight this year? Keep your hands up if you’ve set this goal before? Well, I see you, and I hear you, I’ve made that same goal more times than I can count.

Embarking on a weight loss journey is like navigating uncharted waters; sometimes, the waves are calm, other times it feels like you're caught in a storm.

But you're not alone, I’ve navigated those waters successfully and reached the destination and I can help you do the same. 

Losing weight can be a rollercoaster ride, with its highs and lows, twists and turns.

It's not always easy, and if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that success doesn't come overnight, and setbacks are just a part of the road to success.

So, let's chat about this with the understanding that we've all been down this road before, and it's okay. 

First things first, let's acknowledge the...

My wonderful, beautiful sister bought me a copy of “The Rule of 10-10-10” by Suzy Welch many years ago and it was one of the easiest and most helpful reads because she provides a super simple decision making strategy that can be used for everything from what you’re putting in your mouth to how you’re living your life. 

Every time Suzi finds herself in a situation where there appears to be no solution that will make everyone happy, she asks herself three questions: 

What are the consequences of my decision: 

• In 10 minutes? 
• In 10 months? 
• And in 10 years? 

HOW TO USE THIS SIMPLE STRATEGY 

Ask yourself daily: 

• How will the choices and decisions I’m making now, this minute, about everything (how to use my time, energy, thoughts, focus, attention, body, my choices and decisions, about what I eat, drink, spend my money on and the people I have in my life or not have in my...

Are you a rule follower or a rule breaker? 

Did you know rules are to stop anarchy? If there were no rules then life would be chaotic.But the rules we live by are often out-dated and preventing us from reaching our goals and ambitions. 

So as you step into 2024, think about the rules you were raised on: 

• Rules of your family 
• Rules of school 
• Rules of religion 
• Rules in your social groups 
• Rules in every facet of your life 

Now think about your own person rules that you live your life by: 

• Rules about weight loss 
• Rules about work 
• Rules about love 

• Rules about money 
• Rules about others 
• Rules about what success you can have 
• Rules about what you allow yourself to experience 
• Rules about life 

• Rules about the home 

Your rules are the collection of rules gathered throughout your life and this is how you're living your life right now.

Woop woop, it’s nearly Christmas!  

Here’s 8 Ways to Make Christmas 2023 Your Merriest Christmas Ever 

1. Laughter really is the best medicine (see last week’s blog for more on that!). Christmas can be a real mixed bag of emotions as we know and there doesn’t always feel like there is a lot to laugh about, yet with a little poking, a little prodding, a little tickle here and a little chuckle there, we can elevate our own mood and (sometimes) the mood of others. If you’ve got something super serious and intense going on, firstly, I’m sorry to hear that, because that stuff sucks, and secondly, a little chuckle or giggle here and there is important just to break through that tension, we all need relief, and so do you. 
    
2. Beat the festive season blues with happy tunes to dance to, the geekier the better: Kylie Minogue Locomotion, Abba Dancing Queen or just some good old favourites Status Quo Rockin’ All...

Life can feel very serious sometimes can’t it?  

There are always a zillion reasons to feel cautious, concerned or even afraid, but equally there are always a zillion reasons to feel interested, light-hearted and a little bit playful.  

What if we remind ourselves every morning when we get up, that “today, I will remember to pause for some playfulness”? 

But why should you pause for playfulness I hear you ask?   

Because we‘ve have a brain that’s always on alert for things to be concerned about and all our internal chatter and dialogue, which is negatively geared because it is on alert, never stops. 

We’re also emotional beings and by default, your emotions arealways reactionaryto your environment.  

We need to stay playful and make the most of this totally mystifying thing called life. 

We don't know why we're here so we might as...

I've put together a list of simple yet effective ways for you to embrace the joy of Christmas this year. 

Let’s take a proactive, relaxed approach to Christmas and enjoy the festivities by taking the pressure off: 

Take the pressure off of your credit card and bank account: 

If people are old enough that they no longer believe in Santa, flying reindeer and elves, feel comfortable to give the gift of connection. This will relieve you of the pressure of gift preparation and the financial burdens that excessive gift giving can create. The best gift is genuine connection:  

• having real conversations with people 
• listening deeply  
• giving the gift of loving touch, hold someone’s hand, give them a longer than normal hug.  

So many people are never touched lovingly and neutrally by other human beings. Did you know that we need 5 hugs a day for general well-being and happiness? 

...

We all aim to eat well don’t we?

I was thinking about you this morning when I woke, thinking where am I going to fit in time to write a newsletter to you today? 

My mind said,“Hurry up Katie! You've got a lot on today, you don't have time to sit and write a newsletter!” 

But, I know you read my newsletters and I wanted to write to you and to connect with you today so I ignored what my mind was saying and my instinct to just hurry up and get on with things and I went ahead and did the opposite! 

Did you know that your daily instinct has you doing the same things over and over again? 

That's why I teach my clients how to go against that natural daily instinct and do the opposite. 

It’s only when you go against that instinct and stop following your daily routines and habits that new experiences can then flow into your life. 

If you’re feeling stuck right now, in your weight, health, life, happiness or mindset,...

It feels like it’s an end of year thing but really, if you’re suffering from restless nights, it’s probably been going on for a long time hasn’t it? You're not alone, there are 100’s of women waking up feeling drained. Life is hectic, and our minds love to buzz with to-do lists, worries, and everything in between, leaving us feeling both wired and tired at the same time.  

But here's the thin, consistently getting a decent night’s sleep is a game-changer, not just for how you feel in the morning but for your weight management, mood, and overall health. 

Join me in today’s conversation as we shift the narrative and take charge of our vitality, reclaim our energy and well-being through the joy of a good nights sleep.
