Hands up if you've been on a diet ✋🏻

There are so many “diets” out there, and deciding which one will work for you can be confusing.

You may have tried and tested some in the past or have friends and family who were successful on a specific diet.

So what is it about diets that often result in 'failure'?
- The rules
- The restriction
- The counting
- Willpower
- Monotony

What you put in your body should nourish your body.
Food should bring you joy.
Eating should be a mindful action rather than autopilot.

If this is resonating with you and you've fed up of diets, a different approach could be just what you need.

We are all guilty of overthinking. A valuable post from Buddhism sharing the Japanese technique to stop overthinking.

You may consider wellness or wellbeing simply being free of illness or disease, but there are numerous factors that impact on our wellbeing - and we're often not taking them into consideration.

Your body is constantly communicating to you, but are you listening?
Knowing how to listen to your body and pay attentional to 'signs' that your body needs some TLC or a "service", can improve your overall wellbeing.

The signs
- Irregular bowel movement
- Bloating
- Dry skin and dull hair
- Low energy
- Mood swings
- Poor sleep quality
- Cravings

This is your body's way of communicating to you that you need to make some changes.

Your lifestyle (dietary and otherwise) impacts on your health.
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sleep deprivation
- Physical activity
- Dietary habits

Start to notice those red flags.
Take some time to listen to your body.

Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as a result of deliberate effort.

Trigger
(verb) - to cause something to start.

Everyone has triggers.
- Your thoughts and emotions
- Your environment
Triggers push our buttons and cause a reaction (our behaviour).

Getting curious about your triggers - identifying them - can help you change the outcome of your action or behaviour to them.

In my coaching sessions around food relationship, identifying triggers is one of the first tools we work with.

Recognising unhelpful patterns is an important part of your wellness journey.

If you're curious about your triggers around food and food relationship, let's chat. Comment TRIGGER below.

If sometimes the only thing you feel you accomplished in your day was showing up, that's okay.

You may have days where you feel as though you didn't really get much done.
But you showed up!

Showing up means you value yourself.
Showing up means you're making an effort.

At every session with a client, I make a point of thanking them for showing up.
It may seem simple and not so note-worthy, but showing up is also a win.

Share with a someone who needs this win today.

You know that feeling of having found the right connection?

Think about a time after an appointment, business meet up, interview...
You feel good
You clicked with the person
You felt heard
You felt understood
There was a real connection

I feel the same about working with clients.

By the time many of my clients come to see me, they have been on a long and tedious journey in pursuit of finding happiness around food, their body and themselves. Finding the right person to work with is important to them.
There needs to be a good connection (from both sides).

Who wants to work with someone who
Doesn't make you feel good
Doesn't make you feel heard
Doesn't make you feel understood

If you're starting this journey (or any journey), the company you keep on your journey is key.

And if you're looking for the right connection to help you on your wellness journey - judgement free and 100% support - DM me and let's chat and see how we connect.

As we begin a new month and head into a long weekend,
A reminder...

- Setbacks don't equal failure
Rome wasn't built in a day
- You are allowed to set boundaries
The art of saying no (nicely) can lighten your load
- It's okay to rest
Your body needs to recharge just like your cellphone.
- Not everything you think is true
Sometimes your thoughts are just that and not a fact

Your wellbeing is multifaceted and all of these play a role in your wellbeing.

You may want to look away now if the temptation is too great.

I went to a networking event this morning and was the lucky recipient of an Easter Lindt bunny.

Yay 😃, I love Lindt chocolate 😋
But...
Will I be able to hold out until easter?
Will I be able to stop once I start eating it?
Will I limit myself to just this Lindt bunny?

The truth is I know I'm not alone in these thoughts.

With Easter a couple of days away, it brings with it not only the temptation of Easter chocolate and other tempting Easter foods, but also the guilt and stress around these foods.

You CAN having a nourishing and enjoyable Easter... without the guilt, shame and stress...

- Let go of your food rules. Try not to label foods as “good” or “bad”.

- Eat mindfully. Savour the chocolate!

- Remember, food is for nourishment and connection.

- Let go of the pressure to "be perfect" and focus on being present instead.

- Restriction can trigger rebellion. Give yourself permission to enjoy Easter.

Why do we constantly compare ourselves to others?

Could it be in the pursuit of happiness and perfection?

One of my earliest recollections of comparing myself to someone else was as a child (probably around 11 or 12 years old). I had a friend who had skinny legs and whenever I sat next to her, I couldn't help comparing my own legs to hers. And what stood out specifically was that I didn't have a gap between my thighs and she did. And it made me somewhat self-conscious.

It's seems so silly looking back on this.
But, at a young age I was already comparing myself to others.
Nobody pointed it out to me.
Nobody even commented on my thighs (or my friend's thighs being skinny)
It was all my thoughts, my perception, my comparison and judgement.

I talked briefly about self-criticism in my last post.
Judgement and comparison often go hand in hand.

My reminder to you today, whether in your work, your skills, your appearance,
your relationships..."You are perfectly you" - Don't compare yourself to others.

Self-criticism
noun
Criticism of oneself or one's actions.

We're all likely guilty of self-criticism.
From work to behaviour to relationships...

But the one that comes up frequently in my coaching sessions (and even when talking to friends) is around self-esteem.

The biggest critic of yourself is you!

Self compassion plays an important part of your wellbeing.

Have you considered the impact of stress on your wellbeing?

It's something I always discuss with my clients in our sessions.
You might be making healthy food choices, exercising and sleeping well, but stress is often overlooked.

We cannot always remove stress, but we can find ways to manage or reduce it.
Here are some ideas to get you going:

💃 Dance it out
🎶 Listen to your favourite song
🚶‍♀️‍➡️ Go for a walk
📞 Talk about it
🫁 Breathe
🛌 Go to bed earlier
💪 Focus on what you can control
🆘 Ask for help
🤗 Ask for a hug
😂 Laugh (even if you have to fake it)

Stress management is part of a healthy lifestyle

Share this with someone who needs a reminder.
