And they also told me to break these 3 things down for you through a mindset coach lens .kelly__ 👀:

1. Stay in your own lane�👉🏻I completely get how easy it is to get distracted by other people’s journeys when we’re literally exposed to them every second we scroll. Or maybe you catch yourself comparing to past versions of you when old memories pop up. But that diversion of attention is just that 👀 - a distraction taking you away from what really matters right now: your next habit 🚶🏻‍♀️, your next meal 🥘 , your next day. Each time you find your mind veering into someone else’s lane, gently redirect it back to your next aligned action toward your goals.

2. Trust the process (and don’t rush it)�👉🏻In today’s world, instant gratification feels normal. It’s what we’re constantly exposed to. 🤳But sustainable habits can’t be rushed! Thoughts and patterns you’ve had for 10+ years will take time to rewire, and that’s more than okay. Trust that every micro-rep you put in compounds 🧠.

3. Enjoy the process�👉🏻Think back to a version of you who achieved something you once wanted so badly: a weight loss goal, a performance goal 🏃‍♀️🏋🏼, something you never thought imaginable. When you look back, how much of that journey did you truly enjoy? The point being, it’s so easy to get lost in the process and forget the micro moments of joy and gratitude along the way.

And that’s your food for thought 💭 for today from .kelly__ and the tortoise. What reminder are you taking with you. 👇🏻🐢

✔️30ml milk of your choice
✔️1 scoop protein (30g) - or sub for yoghurt if that’s more your vibe, just tweak the consistency).

WHAT TO DO?
1. Start with your chia seeds + water! Give them a mix and let them do their thing for a few minutes.
2. Add your scoop of protein/youghurt
3. Pour in your milk (about 30ml does the job)
4. Then sweeten to taste, whatever tickles your pickle. 🍁
5. Mix it all together!!
6. Grab your fruit of choice 🍓🫐
7. Now the fun part: toppings and making it look all pretty!! Peanut 🥜 butter = elite. Coconut 🥥 = chef’s kiss. Other gems such as biscoff, and crunchy cereal and great here too. Make it your own!

And that is your next 5-minute, nutritious, delicious brekkie. Prep it the night before or throw it together before heading out so it’s ready when you are.

I can confirm it was worth the hype!! Sticky Toffee Toast – for my carb and sweet tooth lovers, this one is for you!! 🍞😍🍫.

What do you need?
✔️1 hefty slice of sourdough
✔️1 banana
✔️A handful of dates (standard baking dates / 2–3 Medjool dates)
✔️1–2 tbsp of peanut butter
✔️2–3 squares of chocolate of your choice
✔️Optional pinch of salt

What do you do?
1. Toast your sourdough
2. Answer the phone to Mr. Banana 🍌 Man, slice him up and caramelise
3. Microwave dates for 30(ish) seconds (keep an eye on them) so they’re soft enough to smoosh all over the toast
4. Spread some peanut 🥜 butter love
5. Add banana + melt chocolate of your choice
6. Finish with chocolate and an optional pinch of salt

Save, follow along .kelly__ for plenty more yum recipes, and share with your fellow sweet tooth lovers!!

And would you have gone for the orange choc, or mint? 👇🏻👀🍊🍫🌿.

A reminder: what’s right for you might not be right for someone else. 🏋🏼🌯🥑🧠

And equally, what worked for you 3 months ago, or even a year ago, might not align with who you are now.

Different doesn’t mean wrong! 🙅🏼‍♀️

When you’re on a journey of improving your health, your habits, perspectives, preferences, and food choices will evolve. Some will make perfect sense to others, and some won’t 👀🫷🏼.

That doesn’t make either side right or wrong. Two truths can co-exist, and that gets to be okay!

Gently bring your focus back to your present moment, your current values, your goals, your season 🗓️ .

Now the real question, which plate 🍽️ are you choosing? (Both are perfect in their own way ⬇️)

And if you’re looking for a little more calm and clarity up there 🧠 follow .kelly__ along for plenty more!

Caught in the act, and a sight for sore eyes 😅.

On a more serious note, this is one of the most impactful daily habits I’ve practised and refined to help heal my relationship with food over the years 🍱🧠🥯

I used to be an eat-while-distracted girl - in front of the laptop, phone, TV, always rushing or on the go.

And while those moments absolutely have a place (nothing beats a movie night with family in front of the telly), being in those environments consistently made it harder to tune into my hunger cues and feel in control around food 🫷🏼

That looked like missing fullness, not recognising when I was still hungry, feeling “meh” in my digestion, and never really giving myself a moment to pause 🫨

Now, putting in the mental reps, setting aside time to eat, shifting my environment, and slowing the process down, has helped me build trust not just with food, but with myself 🧠.

I can tune into my cues more clearly, notice when I’m on autopilot, and bring a bit more stillness to both my mind and digestion 👀

So my food for thought: when was the last time you gave your meal your full attention?

👉🏻What’s one meal today you could slow down and be a little more present with, even if it’s just for 2 minutes? Let me know below 👇🏼

The micro moments compound, team ☺️

6 questions to ask yourself to bring a little more clarity and calm to the heavy days or seasons 🧠.

Sometimes the smallest shifts in perspective are enough to change how you move them 🫂🤍.

Save this for when you need it, or share it with someone who might too. And I’d love to know which question are you taking with you? Or, do you have one you’d add? 👇🏻👀

Exposing myself & my habits (part 1)! Nutrition, mindset & movement edition! 🫡

1. Mindset: 🧠My phone has been on DND since my first Nokia!
2. Nutrition: 🍜I will eat anything if it’s in a bowl
3. Movement: 🏃🏼‍♀️I run in complete silence… no matter the distance. 5k, or 25k!

You’re up!! What’s your most ‘questionable’ (but it just make sense) habit 👀? Or, are you onboard with any of the above?

Carbs, chocolate, and not knowing the calories would’ve sent a past version of me into a full spiral 🌀 until I healed my relationship with all three through education and shifts in perspective 🧠👀.

If you currently hold fear around any of them, let this my your gentle & empowering food for thought 💭:

Carbs are a primary/preferred fuel source, especially for the brain and during moderate–high intensity exercises 🏃‍♀️🧠🏋🏼. They’re not ‘bad’, and they don’t inherently cause fat gain. That comes from consistently eating in a calorie surplus.

Chocolate is not the problem, it’s your relationship to it. The more you restrict it, the more power it holds. Finding YOUR balance, for season you are in is where the freedom is 🍫.

And not knowing the calories of every single thing you eat for the rest of your life? That is more than OKAY!! Nothing “bad” happens from one meal. In fact, learning to sit in that uncertainty is a huge part of building a healthy relationship with food, especially if you’ve come from a place where numbers controlled you!

Education gives you autonomy, and perspective is everything! Never forget that team 🤍.

Save this for your future-self when you need that little reminder 🧠.

“How do you stay so motivated?”
Honestly, I don’t, but I don’t expect to (anymore).

Even though I love training, there are still days I really can’t be bothered 😅.

The difference now is I don’t sit around waiting to
f e e l motivated. I shift my perspective to focus on getting myself there, and trust that a glimmer of motivation will kick in after I start (it follows action). 🧠🏋🏼🏃‍♀️

It wasn’t always like this though! I used to be very all-or-nothing my expectations. If I couldn’t do the full session or do it “properly”, I’d feel guilty, which made it even harder/less enjoyable to go the next time.

Now I’m way more about meeting myself where I’m at, and acknowledging that not every day will be “perfect”.

Some days it’s a full session, some days it’s a shorter one, some days I’m hitting PB’s. But it all counts!

Because even those days I give 70% effort is still building consistency. And on those days, more than ever you continue to build self-trust 🤝.

And honestly, I have never left a session thinking “I wish I didn’t do that.” There’s always something good to take from it.

Something is often better than nothing as we say and teach our clients Glean App 💚.
