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 adjustments to our diet and body movement that very day. We ignore th...

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 imbued themselves in human behaviour like I have?...

Sam Altman said: "Hard work compounds like interest, and the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off."

Why do we put off losing weight? Why do we avoid facing the truth about our weight and that it’s time to take care of ourselves and live our life free from the hours a day that thinking about our weight and body takes up?

Because we all think that losing weight is hard work.

If that quote from Sam Altman read: “Taking consistent and persistent action compounds like interest, and the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off” you’d get a different vision in your mind wouldn’t you?

That’s really the secret to losing weight and indeed achieving any goal in life, consistency and persistency in deciding what you need to do to get you where you want to go and then making a plan to do it, scheduling it in to your mind and then taking the action and implementing.

There are just so many things around you that can help you get into the state of happiness fast.

At any moment of any day, especially when life feels hard, pause and take a moment to remember something that makes you happy (keep it simple: puppies, birds, flowers, kids laughing, snuggling in your comfy bed perhaps).

Or simply look outside and see the real things that are there just waiting for you to enjoy them: the blue sky, a baby laughing, kids playing, the trees, the flowers, even the weeds that grow and flourish in the sidewalk can be beautiful if you think about how they grow to full bloom even in such harsh environments.

Think happy and you will look for happy things. Did you know that what you look for you normally find?

Feelings of happiness in your mind and body are the real secret to great health as they;

A Fool Proof Way To Achieve Easy Change Over 365 Days.

When we think about making changes, we often procrastinate because we think of change as 'challenging', 'daunting', 'uncomfortable' or we just plain dread it.

We think we have to give up something to gain something and we're not always keen on giving up things we've grown attached to, even if they're things that no longer serve us in helpful, healthy or happy ways.

So imagine if you could simply allow yourself to out grow it?

Out growing stuff is easy right?

You've been doing it your whole life.

You've outgrown:
🎈Santa
🎈The tooth fairy
🎈Sucking your thumb
🎈Being scared of the dark
🎈Toys you've loved
🎈Friends from childhood
🎈Friends from school
🎈People you used to work with
🎈Neighbours you no longer live next too
🎈Groups you're no longer involved with
🎈Schedules you've lived by
🎈Having someone look after you
🎈Playground scuffles
🎈Being upset with your friend for having their lunch with someone else
🎈The fashion you wore in the 80's
🎈The hairstyle ...

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. Whilst I don’t know how many hours I invested I did work out...

You think you know someone after meeting them through networking and having conversations, but it’s not until we ask real questions do we get real answers. Everyone has deep stories that are their life. Kelly Asmus Albornoz shares with us today some very personal hardships she’s been through in her life and how she has overcome having a pedophile for a father and an abusive relationship in her teens to meeting the love of her life in Antarctica, the man she still calls her Latin lover as husband sounds so boring to how they have both had to overcome the loss of their first baby.

But Kelly has done the work and gotten past the traumas of her life and with her love of photography and passion for science, goes on adventures with her husband and kids in their caravan, exploring natures beauty.

And if you’re someone who wants to quit smoking, Kelly is also known as the Quit Lady and has a 95% success rate helping people quit smoking in 60 minutes.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I ...

I met a person recently who asked what I do for a living. When I told them I’m a weight loss coach and that I help my clients overcome weight loss obstacles, they said “Oh, you’re a coach, that’s really the trend now isn’t it, being a life coach of sorts.”

It wasn’t until later that I realised why that would be the perception of some, that there’s a trend, a band wagon that people jump onto, it happens every day doesn’t it?

And I realised that it was fair for them to make that comment as they don’t know what’s gone on behind the scenes for me to actually be a weight loss coach.

They wouldn’t know that the idea germinated back in 2012 after I lost 25kgs in 2011 using a program I developed and that at that time the only thing I knew how to do was to coach, train and mentor.

I’d never owned a business, I knew zero about sales, marketing, social media, building websites, writing blogs, networking and all the other many many aspects of starting and running a business and I had to start ...
