Changing my morning routine, had the single biggest impact on changing the rest of my day.

For so many of my clients one of the most frustrating things for them is their inability to take action. They have all of these dreams and ideas, things that they want to do and they try to do them, but they just can’t to get themselves motivated to do it. 

It’s Not the Driver — It’s Your Thoughts: The Real Cause of How You Feel

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same frustrating patterns—procrastinating, people-pleasing, second-guessing, or struggling to follow through on what you know you want?

You don’t need fixing. You are a human. And believing that you are broken on serves to keep you stuck.

So many of us feel as though we are in a rut. Helpless and at the mercy of our lives.

Your past is just that, it is not an indicator of what is to come. But when you only look back, you keep yourself stuck and miss out on creating something incredible.

When you’re trying to create change—whether it’s sticking to a new routine, building a habit, or achieving a personal or professional goal—it’s easy to assume you just lack discipline or motivation.

If you want to change your behaviour you need to first identify what it is you are weighing up instead.

Change is not in the big shifts, but in the small consistent steps we take each day.

The new year can be such a hopefully time, we come out of Christmas and New Years with resolutions, resolve, promises that this year we will be better. Only to get a few months in and the motivation has died off and you are back to your old ways.

I have found that woman in their forties who want to lose weight have tried pretty much every diet, exercise program and supplement out there in order to lose weight.

The trouble with diets are that while they may work in the short term, most of us put the weight straight back on once we complete the diet.

This week I heard a great quote from a coach in another field talking about asking yourself before you take an action “Will this serve the path that I want to be on?”

My clients initially come to me for weight loss, but all comment that the halo benefits they receive as a result of losing the weight have far greater impact on their overall happiness.

We can only create change in our lives when we first stop and really consider what it is that we want, without judgement or excuses and then accept that we are worthy, and we deserve to have what we want.

Diets solve for the what, but if you want to lose weight for good, you first have to uncover why you chose to eat at any given moment.

A great option when you are on the run in the morning.

When I thought that the year of fighting cancer was better than how I spent the last 6 months, I knew something had to change.

Tahini is a wonderful source of important nutrients like calcium, iron and protein. This is a staple in my fridge. I love to add this dressing to my salads and veggies. It also makes a great dipping sauce and goes really well with my tamari seeds recipe.
