What I didn’t show is the 2 hours of washing up I did after a weekend of not being home 😅

Also, if you’re looking for a Pilates class in Coomba! Look no further, it’s great! Come along. 💃🏼

Does fear cause positive action? Some people believe that fear will change behaviour for the better and in some cases it may. But in my practice I see people who are health anxious and it can cause sporadic changes to habits and eating but does not facilitate long term integration of positive changes.

Most people I work with are frozen or scared. Their nervous systems are overloaded and extra meaning is applied to symptoms. Instead of a symptom meaning your body is communicating a problem that needs addressing through lifestyle or nutrition or medication changes - many people freak out. Many people are scared of the worst case diagnoses and live in fear of that.

What if you could trust yourself to take the best care of yourself without the fear?

What if everything you did to take care of yourself wasn’t just based on outcomes. Eg: “I’m running to lose weight” could be “I like the way running feels”. “I cut out carbs to lower inflammation but it sucks!” Could instead be “i am making an effort with my diet in response to my body’s feedback to help me better understand my body’s needs. This may require trial and error”

How are you relating to food and body? Is it from a place of fear?

I am moving through big feelings that have held me prisoner for a long time. And moving through this has been painful. I’m grateful and fortunate to have the safety and space to allow for this. I am thankful that I didn’t abandon myself through this. And I have learned to take deep unconditional care of myself. Which I didn’t even know was something I didn’t do in my past.

I share this for you to know that you’re not alone in your feelings of helplessness and despair ❤️

Different results don’t come from the same habits.
You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight - just start living a little different today.

I will make a guess that all your goals exist on the other side of having more ENERGY! So that’s where you start. Learn how to make more energy inside your body.

Important ingredients for energy:
Food that can be used for energy
Mitochondria health
Sunshine
Breath
Uplifting conversations (inside and outside your head)

Identify what is draining your energy?????????
Like thoughts and feelings of helplessness
Constantly dieting and skipping meals etc etc
