It's that time of year again🎄

Where usually everything goes out the window

The 'all or nothing' mindset definitely plays its part and the talk about 'starting in the new year' starts

I know, I've been there

But, contrary to belief, you CAN still enjoy all those Christmas things and enjoy the build up, whilst still getting some consistency in

You just have to adapt, which I know can be easier said than done

Usually hit exercise 5x a week? Instead, try 3

Usually go for an hour? Try 45, or even 30

If you exercise because you enjoy it, because it makes you feel better mentally, rather than aesthetically, then I promise this will become easier🫶

Also, remember to show yourself kindness and don't put pressure on yourself, this tends to have the opposite effect

Another thing to remember - if you have 50% to give in that moment, and you're giving all of that 50, then you're giving 100%🫶

And if you want to start working on your goals now and shift away from that 'all or nothing' mindset, then send me a message!!🙌

Just over a week ago Mental Health and Exercise Coaches got together and as always, it delivered🤩

A day of learning and connecting with like minded coaches on the same mission - what more could you want?

Despite being in an awful place (St Andrews - Birmingham City Football Club)🤢🤢😂

Had to wear my Villa jumper and take a Villa flask to protect myself 😂

Boundaries were crossed - having the pitch has a view then having to go and take a seat for the photo in the stadium🤢 Thanks Dan and Ben 😂😂

Putting that aside, it's always such a good time when MHEC coaches get together, and because we only see each other a couple times a year in person, it makes it more special when we do❤️

The community that Dan and Ben have built is something else, and the support and knowledge they provide us with, can't thank them enough 🫶

So nice to meet coaches I haven't met before as well, what it's all about🫶

Only took a couple of photos, well because I forgot, probably due to shock😂

Obviously had to combat going to St Andrews, by going to Villa Park on the Sunday and witness a 4-0 win🤩❤️

And the remembrance display beforehand🫶

Only for MHEC would I go to Birmingham City🤢😂

The MHEC Academy

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day❤️

Mental Health doesn't fit into a box

Mental Health is something we all have (we don't need to be qualified therapists to talk about it❤️)

Depression isn't just not getting out of bed, it's so much more than that

Anxiety isn't just panic attacks

Mental Health is typically viewed as a negative thing, but you can have positive, negative, or a mix🫶

Because we all have mental health🫶

Make an effort to ask someone how they're feeling - but really how they're feeling (not just 'you okay?' 'cool'...)

AND just a side note - if you post on your socials: 'If you need to talk, you can always message me' even though the intention behind it is good, speaking from personal experience - this probably won't be enough to get someone to reach out to you🫶 because majority of the time, reaching out is the hardest part to do

When I was struggling, I would never have reached out to someone, in the end it was forced and I couldn't have been more grateful❤️

Included a few helplines in the reel, if you think this will help someone, or if you can relate, or if you're struggling and you find reaching out the hardest part, because it is - I understand, but trust me, you'll be so glad you did, so please reach out to someone🫶

Never Miss a Monday' is such an overused phrase but it can actually be more detrimental to your goals

Yes, starting the week off in the right way, setting you up for the rest of the week is all good but what if you do miss that Monday?

To me, it's got a lot of guilt to it and instilling the mindset of 'starting again on Monday'

Things happens, life happens

You can't always guarantee to get it done on Monday's - but it's not the be all and end all, just start the following day, or the next

Each day is a chance to 'start again'

Not just the turn of the week

I rarely train on Monday's, but I also don't let that affect my week🫶

It's been a while but a good time to come back to raise awareness for World Su***de Prevention Day❤️

If anything in this has affected you in anyway, please reach out to me, or someone, or I've included some helplines at the back❤️

'Committed Su***de' is such a common phrase when someone dies by su***de

People 'commit' crimes, su***de IS NOT a crime

We need to do better in educating ourselves as a world / country / community / individuals on the subject of mental health and su***de❤️

So instead of saying 'Committed' Su***de, say:

- Died by su***de
- Took their own life
- Ended their life
- Lost their life to su***de

And whilst we're on the subject, su***de is also NOT selfish or attention seeking - which I would assume would go without saying but in 2025, the above is still an assumption by some

Which again proves, we need to do better❤️

If you're affected by any of this, if you're struggling in anyway, then please reach out to someone❤️

We live in a society where if someone gains weight then they've 'let themselves go'

Because, god forbid, someone actually gains weight, is happier and healthier (both mentally and physically)

That person that's gained weight might have actually had an eating disorder, but they've done so much work on themselves, gained weight, and are now in a much better place, both mentally and physically

All because we live in a society where being 'thin' is what it's about, even if you're compromising your mental health

So I'm here to tell you - as long as you're happy and healthy - whatever size you are, then just do you❤️

And if this is something you've struggled with, or you've been triggered by anything that's been mentioned - please feel free to message me for a chat❤️

If I had one wish for this industry (amongst my long list😂)...

It would be for PTs to stop saying

'You just don't want it enough'

The above list is just a selection as well

Whatever reason you have for not being able to reach your goals, they can be worked around

Sometimes it might be a case that the goal you have, you actually don't want to achieve it - instead it might be what you think OTHERS want🫶

Life happens

Please don't let anyone, whether they're in the fitness industry or not, tell you, that because you're 'not hitting your goals' that you 'don't want it enough'

Because whatever it is, it can be worked around🫶

And if you find that is you, send me a message, I'd love to help you through it🫶

Just because your mindset changes, doesn't mean your routine has to🫶

There's actually freedom in going through the same routine as what you used to, but with a completely different outlook and mindset - this could be you!

If you find any of these relate to you, then send me a message, I'd love to have a chat!🫶

I'm not saying that this means it's 'easy' - because it definitely isn't

We're still human, we have our dips in consistency, which could last days or weeks!

BUT the barrier of that exercise environment is removed

Fitting it in between clients or before / after classes

When you have easier access to a gym than someone who works a different job or schedule, then that barrier is removed

So if you haven't got a job within a fitness space, then don't compare yourself to others anyway, but ESPECIALLY don't compare yourself to someone who works in that space🫶

(And of course, exercise doesn't have to be done in the gym🙌)

If you feel like you aren't being fully understood, and you can relate to what I said - you want to start your fitness journey but have no idea where to start, send me a message

I'd love to help you and help remove these barriers and work within your own routine and lifestyle🫶
