Hello 🔵 It's official. Signed at 17.26 today!
Mine really turned blue. Don't forget, the new Facebook rule starts tomorrow (aka... new name META) where they can use your photos. Dont forget the deadline is today!!! I do not give Facebook or any company affiliated with Facebook permission to use my past and future photos, information, messages or posts.
With this statement, I inform Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to publish, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The violation of privacy can be punished by law.
NOTICE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must publish such a note.
Whoever wants can copy and paste this version. Failure to post a statement at least once will be tacitly allowing the use of your photos, as well as information in profile and status posts.

Hold your finger anywhere in this message and copy will pop up. Click the copy button. Then go to your page, create a new message and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system....
He who does nothing agrees.

(Better to be safe and post this than be sorry later)

Why sleep?

In the UK 16 million people are said to be suffering from sleepless nights.
Nearly a third of UK adults say they have insomnia whilst two thirds suffer from disrupted sleep, and almost a quarter sleep no more than 5 hours per night. Why does this matter?

Quality sleep is thought to be vital for physical and mental health and well-being! It plays an important part in metabolism, immunity, s*x drive, cognitive functions and more.

So if our sleep is regularly disrupted, this will result in blood sugar imbalance which in turn leads to weight gain, insulin resistance, depression, impaired immunity and other problems.

So what can we do to enhance our sleep quality and quantity? Here are a few simple tips to help you on your way to a good night’s sleep:

- Introduce a ‘power-down hour’ 1 hour before bed time: dim the lights, put away electronics to prevent over-stimulating the brain, journal your thoughts and/or read
- Go to bed and get up the same time every day, as well as spend at least 20 minutes outdoors early in the day, to regulate your circadian rhythm
- Avoid caffeine consumption after 2 pm
- Have your last meal no later than 2 hours before bed
- Keep your bedroom dark and quiet- use eye masks or ear plugs if necessary

If you or a loved one suffers from regular sleep disturbance, please get help, don’t accept this as normal. There are solutions available for you!

So life is a journey of ups and downs, and mostly meddling around the middle line. However, we are always moving, we never stand still as there is always more to change and develop in us, more to grow and mature, to help us becoming who we were created to be, to live in our calling.
What is YOUR calling? What is your God-assignment? What does YOUR beautiful butterfly look like?

So you may be wondering- what exactly is a health coach? What do health coaches do?
As a health coach I help people identify areas in their lives where they feel stuck, and then support them to get un-stuck and transform their unhealthy habits that have held them captive.
I consider the whole person, and approach the transformation in an holistic way, considering each individual's unique needs and preferences.
During the 90-day program we discuss different topics and set empowered action steps each week.
That way the client feels enabled to claim back control for their own health and wellbeing.
Health coaching is effective because of the three main ingredients: the right steps in the right order, the right system, and accountability.
I call it 'Stepping out, and Stepping in'- stepping out of your comfort zone, and into the best version of YOU 🙂
So if this is YOU, that is you want to get healthy but you don't know where to start, then please get in touch!
