Hmmm I'm feeling like I need to post something because its been ages since I've posted on this page.

So I am sat here thinking what is it that I really want to say? What is the running theme for health and wellness this week?

Well, my running theme for both myself and the clients that I have worked with this particular week is...

Moderation
&
Intuition

So many people I know and work with are constantly doing something to reduce discomfort, increase wellbeing and feel a sense of productivity... ie fulfilliment... ie MEANING.

While I completely understand and advocate for exploration, curiosity, trying new things and a desire for growth and transformation

it is so so important to remember to...

Listen to yourself, listen to your inner guidance, listen to your intution.

We can find research studies and testimonies that are for and against almost anything and everything. These forever changing chemical bodies we have are constantly altering so we have to listen deeply to what feels right for us.

Listen to your intuition, research and learn but listen to youself about what fits and dont think you have to go all in.

So whether its keto, plant based, macro, intermittant fasting, HIIT training, gentle training, more journalling, meditation, breathwork, yoga.... The list goes on...

If there is a change in behaviour that you are trying to achieve, maybe a gentle moderate approach is the one that is more sustainable in the long run.

***Disclaimer
Though I understand for those of us that have experienced trauma of sorts (everyone) that our 'gut' or our inner voice disguised as inuition may still be in trauma response and not feeding back accurate information if we havent unravelled it yet.

This I will follow up in a another post.

For now, intuition and listening to your inner guidance is what I would like to leave you with and perhaps moderation will work for you.

Have a great weekend.

I am looking for people who are interested in being part of an online 8 week group wellbeing program - just 2 hours a week.

This program is anchored in the latest science, research and evidence founded by Harvard-educated psychiatrist and clinical professor Dr James Gordon.

We will be working on the mind body connection, creating a safe space, using the latest techniques and modalities to support all of our wellbeing. At the core is self-awareness, self-care, and group support to heal population-wide psychological trauma.

Having a high cardio-respiratory fitness level that is considered to be elite compared to cardio respiratory fitness of below average reduces your risk of all cause mortality by 5 FOLD.

All cause mortality being death from anything!

Thats a 5 x reduction in risk of death from anything just by having a high level of cardio fitness

and

a 3 FOLD reduction in all cause mortality when you compare high strength to low strength.

MOST BENEFIT COMES TO YOU WHEN YOU GO FROM BEING NOT FIT AT ALL TO AVERAGE FIT

"that gives you 3 of the 5 fold" in reduction of all causes death.

As someone who has worked in physicl activity for the benefit of public health I think its a great reminder to keep ourselves moving, knowing every little bit counts!

What seems to be a no brainer for the management of mild depression - the use of mindfulness, meditation, group exercise and therapy as the initial intervention as a-pose to anti depressants being the primary go to for clinicians.

Group exercise and mindfulness are also to be recommended before medication, according to new advice.

✨Join me for a Vision Quest

✨Create your vision by innovating, dreaming and exploring all possibilities that could happen in your life
✨How is your outer reality not reflecting your inner world and why?
✨Unpack why you haven’t achieved this vision already, what are your blockages, is it really what you what? Do you believe it is accessible? If not why not?
✨Break down the practical barriers out of your control. What is in the way that is out of your control and what can you do about it to bring it into your control?
✨Mindset shifting techniques, are you really seeing things clearly, perhaps the way you are seeing things or your learnt ideas are what’s blocking you. Perhaps by shifting your lens, your ability to achieve your vision will shift
✨Identify areas to gain skills and brainstorm where is an efficient, affordable, realistic place to learn or be exposed to those skills. The best way of achieving something is by finding people that already have it and learn how they got it
✨Create a practical strategy to take into the world so you know where you are and where you are going in all aspects of your life
