Being healthy is everywhere you look, so you feel like it’s time you did it too. You join the local gym, set your alarm early four mornings a week and throw yourself into smashing your new year goals.

Your body aches. It hurts to sit down and walk up the stairs. You’re wondering if this healthy living thing just isn’t for you.

By the end of January, you’ve thrown the towel in. It’s impossible to get healthy. It hurts too much. You don’t have time. You feel worse, not better.

Why is everyone going on about how important self-care is and making sure you’re having your self-care Sunday?

If you feel like self-care is being thrown around everywhere you look, and wonder why it’s constantly being shoved in your face, you need to take a read here.

It might just be that self-care is the missing piece to the puzzle of the healthy, happy and successful life you’re working so hard to build for yourself.

As you build your confidence and start stepping into your power, making things happen the way you want them to, this in itself will bring you success and happiness.

If you are struggling with low confidence, maybe only in certain areas of your life I want you to know that when you improve your confidence here, it’s going to make an immediate difference to how you feel and go after your goals. The success you want is well within your reach!

If you want to build successful habits that fit with who you are and align with the way you want your lifestyle to be, you need to nurture your mind and body the right way. By approaching your health and wellbeing as a process, something that needs to come together through many moving parts that when connected, bring the full picture together, you’ll finally achieve the healthy, happy and strong life you’re striving for.

There are so many different types of coaches and what exactly you would go to a coach for, can be pretty confusing. All coaches want to help you get the transformation you desire. They will work with you to help you get clarity on what it is you want, what’s standing in your way of getting it, and how you’re going to make the changes to get what it is you want. They want to help you find the answers and unlock the potential you already have inside of you. They are there to provide support, collaboration, and accountability.

Think about what it is you’ve been holding off on from your list of goals because it just seems so far from reach. What did you decide to do and try to dive straight into, but quickly hit a brick wall because you didn’t know where to start, or began doubting your ability?

Once we’ve got clear on what we want to achieve or have in our lives, we need to make it happen right away. This can be a great driver in many respects. It can help you to get motivated and take appropriate action to achieve what you want. On the flip side, however, it can have detrimental effects. 

When you set New Year resolutions you’re vowing to do them pretty much overnight, the start time being 12.01am 1st January. Can you really engage your motivation as simply as flipping a switch?

Telling yourself you are or are not going to do something isn’t backed up with the motivation, plan or steps to make it happen.

So what should you do when we hit this turning point in our traditional calendar that we associate with new beginnings and fresh starts?

I thought about what I wanted my life to be like. What changes did I want to make? What goals did I want to set myself?

Then I kept asking myself ‘Why?’
