✨FINDING THE TINY MOMENTS …✨

💪🏼Whilst strengthening my muscles…
👀 I noticed…
⛅️ The morning sun & plant display on the blind.
Flickering, patterns of light, nature.

So even when life gets tough (in this case working through my feelings of “uncomfortableness” as I undertake my disciplined strengthening exercises) one can still connect to the world around us.

What tiny moments can you NOTICE in your day today?

We are always surrounded by a sensory feast.

🗓️REGULARLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR…

✍🏼The pen strikes the paper to modify existing presentations on psychological health and physical movement…

🧠Call it brainstorming, acquiring further knowledge, extracting research from recent study…

✨Where the end goal is to help pave the way for a greater understanding of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in…
✔️Sport
✔️Work
✔️In every day life

🧐As a great mentor once said to me, if I am doing the same presentation year after year, with no changes, I am not doing my job…

✨Launching the revamped .act
website…✨

Behind the scenes of running a successful Pilates business, many hours have been devoted to updating .act website.

Much adulation to in making this possible.
The tireless hours spent towards making this website as explicit as possible.
And at the core, acknowledging that using the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT) one can find true satisfaction in life.

Merging ACT within the Pilates studio, has so many benefits, especially towards chronic pain and anxiety.

Are you ready to do something different?act

“ But I’m too busy”…
* “To move my body”
* “To exercise”
* “To practice learnt exercises at home”…

AND THE LIST GOES ON…

📋It’s easy to fill the day with…
“All the things I have to do”…e.g household chores
“All the things I could do”…e.g plan meals for the week.
“All the things I want to do”… e.g. stream the latest releases on television.

Maybe it’s time to SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE…

You may “appear busy” to some, but deep down are you prioritising your time to the things that really matter, like your health and physical movement?

✨Pilates and .act Has Helped My Body

🧍🏻‍♀️12km hike through the national park.

tracks and over boulders.
💪🏼Working all large muscle groups.
🦶Ankle stability working hard.
🧠Mindfully…
Zooming into my inner world.
Zooming out to my outer world.

💯Achieving so much satisfaction from this hike when I am mindfully able to give the experience my full attention…

✨The week begins soon…

💪🏼With a RF- Fit 8.15am class.

🤔In reflection…

🗓️ It’s been, and will continue to be a very busy July…
✅Completed another round of .act workshops, focusing on skills to help with anxiety, chronic pain and “being mindful in a busy life”…

✅Presented a very successful presentation to the young South Adelaide Football lads.

✅Presenting a workshop on .act where the main topic involves chronic pain and anxiety up in Adelaide this week.

✅Preparing to bring .act interstate late this month.

✅And of course, delivering Clinical Pilates and Reformer Pilates to the clients that consistently show up.

😊Feeling content, confident and happy.
😊Appreciating this moment, but also recognising that pleasant feelings will come and go, just like any other feeling, whether they be;
* pleasant/ unpleasant
* good/bad
*confident/unconfident
* nervous and anxious/ content
Let’s take this moment to really notice what this feels like…

20/06/2025

✨Not interested in “business as usual”

☑️Rather, more interested in what works.

🧠 Combining the cognitive, emotional and
body with movement and especially
utilising all components with pain
education.

✨WE WOULD STAY OUT OF THE SUMMER
GRASS IF WE KNEW THERE WAS A SNAKE
THERE…✨

Likewise, we may “stay out of our bodies” if we knew we would experience painful feelings and sensations in there.

🧠 “Oh no, I don’t like this feeling of physical
pain or discomfort.”
🧠 So our mind interprets this physical pain or
discomfort as threatening.

🫨And so the more we fear physical pain, the
more we avoid physical movement, and the
worse we get.

➕Let’s address BOTH the 🧠 and physical
movement to live a value- guided life.

☑️ Let’s get you moving on the Reformer, on the
Wunda Chair and on the Pilates Ladder
Barrel… and let’s also address you mind
and how it interprets your pain…

✨PHYSICAL PAIN✨

💯When the pain “ain’t that bad” then deliberate attempts to control it can “kinda” work…
✅Massage
✅Heat
✅Movement and/ or a rest
✅The occasional “pain - killer “ tablet…
✅Alcohol/ food/ chocolate
And so on…

😬BUT… the more frequent and/or the more intense pain experienced, some of your “control strategies” may not be ideal…
Especially…
😐If used a lot
😐has impacts on your physical health
😐are costly
😐and if the pain just keeps coming back… and
back and back…

😐And then stops you from doing stuff that
matters to you…

😊Then are you willing to learn a new, scientific- evidence based approach in responding to your pain?
😊An approach widely used in pain clinics across the globe…
💯Then you may want to join the next band of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy workshops starting mid July.

06/06/2025

✨Keep your body moving✨

🟰Ideally everyday…

🤔So how can you make your exercise routine habitual?
🤔So you don’t have to think about how the heck you will incorporate movement daily into your busy life…?
🚶🏽‍♀️‍➡️So movement naturally becomes a part of your life…?

Well, in this case, Helen has stored in the studio her “workout clothes”…
(You would never catch her instructing in her hot pink shorts!)

On most days, Helen will either be doing first thing in the morning or between classes…
* laps around the studio
* Bosu push ups
* Trapeze Table arm rows
* Reformer Jumpboard planks
* Reformer scooters
And
* Hand weight assisted squats and lunges

✅Just a bit of pre-organising to help make this a daily habitual habit.

✅Empowering you to keep moving throughout your day, everyday…
