So last night before bed I set my 4:30am alarm for the first time in months and IT FELT GREAT! Although I didn’t have the best night sleep because I spent most of it worrying that I would miss the alarm, when I woke up I was excited and eager to get going! After whatContinue reading “The Gyms Are Back Again!”

Cheat Days
The word “cheat” in relation to food should be banned. Saying this word means that we are immediately adding negative connotations to the foods we eat. What then happens is our words expand to “oh I was naughty at the weekend” or “I was really BAD yesterday”. Fundamentally we are attributing our emotional responses toContinue reading “Cheat Days”

Digital Wellbeing
Yesterday I decided to take the full day off social media. Now more than ever I’m finding I’m spending hours on end trawling through feeds not looking for anything in particular, but feeling my mind getting sucked into the vortex that I call the ‘scroll hole’. Some days I think I can actually feel myContinue reading “Digital Wellbeing”
Needing some motivation?
Ahhh motivation…. See the funny thing about it is that at some point we ALL need motivation and there isn’t a single person on this earth that is motivated all day every day (or I have yet to meet them!). Motivation can be defined as ‘enthusiasm for doing something’. If it is something you areContinue reading “Needing some motivation?”
