Are you living like you have all the time in the world, holding off doing the things you really want to do and making the changes you wish you could make to live a happier life?

After 20 years working for global giant Nike I’m finally embodying their infamous slogan Just Do It. I want you to Just Do It too so you can live a full and purpose driven life. I’m helping you to have no regrets and get doing it right now.

There is no quick fix to putting a new habit in place, nor is there an easy route to follow. A habit will always take willpower, commitment and consistency. But, when fear sets in about your ability to make the change happen, you fill your head with negativity which quickly spreads and takes hold, making you believe you’re not capable or worthy of doing it. So you don’t even get off the starting block. You tell yourself it’s ok, you are fine to stay put, forget the change and building any new habits.

How many times have you been going on a diet, or started your diet on a Monday, only to fall off it by the time Friday comes along?

Diet culture is a huge issue in our society with so many women falling prey to the never-ending quest to conform with their size and shape. But the reason the diet industry is so big and profitable is because it’s designed to make this continuous cycle of yo-yo dieting one that you believe is the only way to find your worth and happiness.

I want to help women and girls understand what I diet really is, and share why it’s something you actually will have for your whole life, not only a few days or weeks at a time when you have the willpower to force yourself to stay on one.

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!

So many women are living at such a fast pace, carrying the burden of the majority of their family responsibility alongside their work. They need to be stronger and healthier to be able to perform at their best, and also to live the happy life they desire.

But, they tell themselves they aren’t worth taking care of, that this is their role, they have to just ride it out. They believe they matter the least in their very long list of things to do and take care of.

When you realise why you matter, why you are so very worth taking care of, you will have greater self-esteem, self-belief, and self-love. All of these things have such a big impact on your overall health and happiness.

When you feel happier you will help those around you to also live happier.

We all go through varying seasons in our lives, and some of these are guaranteed to have as part of them, very specific physiological add-ons. Things that happen to our bodies and minds we can’t just choose to ignore or neglect.

How much do you know about the seasons of your life and what they are likely to bring with them? Are you creating the healthy mind and body you need to support and protect you for the rest of your life?

Being aware of what might change or be an obstacle as you go through different life stages will help you to be prepared to protect yourself and successfully maintain your health and happiness.

If you’re at a point in your life where you know that something needs to change because you’re struggling, maybe due to overwhelm, stress, constant tiredness or lack of focus, you’re probably at a crossroads. You feel unsure which direction to go in, afraid of taking a path that’s too challenging and unfamiliar. So, you keep moving forward in the same direction. You take the easy option.

Getting clear on how you want to look back on your life brings the opportunity to create the vision now of how you truly want to live your life. Let this vision guide you down the right path, not the easy path.

Do you know that so many people put off getting out of bed each morning? They delay starting their day, their life. They hit the snooze button, wanting to hide from what’s ahead of them. For these people, this means they’ve already lost the battle for control of their day. They’ve put off the first decision of the day - waking up on time and getting out of bed!

Is this you? Are you ready to take back control and live your day the way you dream of?

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.

Ever wondered why your bad habits seem to have a mind of their own? It’s so easy to repeat bad habits, but forming new good habits seems impossible. You decide to stay as you are, putting off making the changes you want so much because they seem out of reach. Yet improving your daily habits could be the unlock to living the life you desire.

Do you wake up feeling ready to start your day each morning? How about waking up feeling like you’ve had such a good sleep you are so energised and focused?

If your mornings are not quite as bright as you’d like them to be, maybe it’s your bedtime routine. Having a consistent bedtime routine isn’t only for babies and kids. If it works for them, why would it not work for adults too? Helping your brain and body to unwind and prepare for sleep every evening is a great way to invest in your overall health and wellbeing. It will improve your health now, but also, and maybe more importantly, as you age.

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.

Have you heard about the mind-body connection? The way your mind can alter and affect how you feel physically, and similarly, the body cause changes to your mind?

Thoughts and behaviours really do have the ability to change your stress levels and physical health, resulting in a powerful impact on your overall wellbeing.

This is why it is important to focus on your mindset. On being aware of the way you think because of this fast and noticeable connection to your body.

To live with good health and balance, you need to nurture and take care of yourself both physically and mentally.

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. 

Is all this talk of living your best life fantasy or reality? Can you really build the life you dream of and feel you’re living with intention and purpose each day?

I truly believe we are all capable of living the life we dream of. When you connect with the vision of who you want to be and how you want to live, you can begin to walk the path to make it happen. The power you feel knowing you are creating the life you thought was out of reach, is a super one that will propel you to be strong and happy.

I advocate everyone, of any age, investing in their health and wellbeing right now. I share the message of how important it is to nurture your mind and body at all stages of your life, regardless of how well you might feel right now. I coach that not understanding how your mind and body work independently and in conjunction, can have very damaging consequences to your health and way of living, without you even realising it.

I challenge you to think about your own wellbeing, assess what you’re doing to invest in it right now, to give yourself the life you want.

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?

The Christmas season is pitched as the most wonderful time of the year when everything and everyone is merry and nice. But is it really like this? Christmastime often brings with it a huge amount of expectation and pressure. For many, this picture-perfect ideal isn’t their reality, causing stress and pressure to mount. Can you avoid the common burnout this time of year throws so many people by having your own perfect festive time?

It often feels impossible to be healthy and be social. Society leads you to believe you can’t have one and the other. This results in so many people throwing their usual habits and routines out the window when Christmas comes along. But do you really have to sacrifice good health to have a social life? Is it actually possible to have good health all year round, whilst still being as social as you want to be?
