So often we don’t even realise the feelings that dominate our day and the impact they have on our lives.

Self confidence isn’t something we are born with, it is something we create.

We so often block ourselves from what we truly want, when we don’t look at what doing that thing is really costing us.

One of the biggest challenges I see in goal achievement — whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your wellbeing, or personal development — is that most programs only address the actions you need to take. They rarely address the underlying desire that drives you to make those choices in the first place.

I had always thought I had loved myself, until someone asked me what actions do I take that are loving to myself? It was then I learnt that up until that point, I wasn’t very good at loving myself, and I soon realised that actively loving myself could actually help me achieve my goals faster.

Do you have a goal that you add to your list every year, but never seem to make any progress on it?

To understand the results we have in our lives, we first need to understand how our feelings impact the actions we take.

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.
