Motivation is NOT a long term strategy...daily habits are 💪

You don’t ask yourself if you have the motivation to clean your teeth every day do you?

And let’s face it, some days we just can’t be bothered to do it eh?

BUT we do it anyway 🦷

It’s just something that we do.

It’s a habit we've practised a million times over so we don’t need to think about it any more…we just do it.

It’s a non-negotiable.

And any other action is exactly the same.

When you embark on something new…a new way of eating, a new exercise regime, a new coaching programme…

…it takes huge amounts of conscious effort to carry out the actions involved because they are NEW.

And if you don’t do the actions often, they will ALWAYS take a lot of effort to do.

But guess what?

The more you do them, the easier they become.

Your brain builds new pathways for new actions and the more you carry them out, the stronger and stronger those pathways become.

Until “Hey Presto!”…you’ve created yourself new habits 💪🏻

If you repeat any behaviour enough times, a habit will become established.

And that’s what women ACTUALLY need when they come to us…

…new habits and help embedding them, not motivation.

Because once a new habit is formed, very little motivation (if any!) is needed to carry to out.

And that’s when you have transformation ❤️

Binge Eating Disorders

It is Eating Disorders Awareness Week this week and I'd like to shine a light specifically on Binge Eating Disorder.

Many are familiar with anorexia and bulimia but Binge Eating Disorder is by far the most prevalent.

If this is something you struggle with or know someone who does, I urge you to listen to or share this podcast. It covers emotional eating, how our brain hijacks us, food rules and as always, how we need to nourish, not punish ourselves with food. All things I cover with clients as an Eating Freely practitioner.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Restricting Diets

Restricting Diets

Why we need to focus on more…not less!

Here are the restrictions for a keto diet:
No fruit, pasta, potatoes, rice, beer, bread etc etc.

Now while I’m sure we can agree, many of these aren’t the healthiest foods on the planet ;-)

If I say you can’t eat any of them for the next few months, what’s the first thing you want to eat?

Pouring from an empty cup

Pouring from an empty cup

What are the consequences if we don’t look after ourselves? If we don’t take that control?

When we don’t look after ourselves:  eat well, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, where does that leave us?

In our experience it often leaves women, seriously far from good health.
