✨️Life, Injuries & A change of routine ✨️

6 weeks ago I might have taken my walking a little too far lol.
That inner competitive part just wanted to do more, but my body yelped loudly NO❗️

😢Gingerly walking 15min instead of 1hr has been tough & surfaced fears of a different kind.

My body was still waking at 5am looking forward to the feeling of success.
Actually, I was hooked on it.
So I had to switch things up, but it hasn't been easy and I had a few insights along the way.

✨️My morning walk = success.

I'd become dependent.
“I can only feel successful/good if I do this one thing…”
Just like those who can't start their day without a good coffee.

It was time to bring in other healthy habits to maintain a morning routine - with the new found awareness to keep mixing it up.

Wow, so inspirational to listen to these guys last night.

Each echoing a similar sentiment.

🎊You don't know what's ahead, but it's good to be facing it with energy, enthusiasm and excitement for the possibilities to come.

🎊Definitely lives that still have a lot more living yet, and that age isn't a factor.

Here's just some of the great take-aways i got.

“I was all set up with a walker & toilet frame”
Says 80yr old (E) now getting ready to do her skydive and waking up full of energy. 💕
✨️Personal bests for running and now (D) is setting new targets.
✨️“We need another name for what's after the ‘Golden Years’ now”. (Laughter & Agreement)

☀️Sky Diving ☀️Marathons ☀️Squash Championships ☀️Keeping up with the Grandies ☀️Out most nights of the week ☀️Contentment ☀ ️Excited to get up every day.

How cool is that.

✨️When your current reality doesn't match the one you want.✨️

A few people have been asking lately
“Don't you get bored walking back and forth in your kitchen or even shorter in the caravan?”

“When I don't have a focus- YES.”
In fact they lead to the mornings I struggle to get up and walk.

The first images - the current reality.
Walking a little wobbly in my kitchen, 10 steps forward, 10 steps back. My body knows it well now.
The 2nd images - Where I go in my mind 🌲🌿⚘️🐝🦋🐦

Here I get to image all the beauty of bush walks and other places we've been on our caravan adventures. ❤️
Here I'm invincible 💪 lol.
I'm climbing mountains.

The 2nd sets me up with a great mindset for the day (or as long as I can milk it out some days)

If I stay in the 1st - absolutely, it gets boring and mundane. I find on those days my day starts off just like that too.

I know what I'd prefer 😎🐝🐦🌿

What an awesome break away with loads of great memories, food and a few to many Bailey's slushies. 🥴
You know your body has adapted beautifully to the maintenance phase of HP when you jump on the scales and they haven't moved. Super stoked 🙌

But I'm definitely ready to get back into the rest of my routine.
My walking in the caravan takes a lot more commitment, with only 5 steps forward & 5 steps back. 😅. But it feels too good to leave it out.
Happy New Year Everyone

Who feels the urge to just jump in there and help? My favourite part of Parent Infant Classes is our observation time. Where we get to see that competence starts early.

🎄December isn’t about craming more in.🎄
It’s about preparation.

This week, I’m helping people get ready to start on the 12th January .
So exciting ✨️
I've had the privilege to see and be apart of some amazing health transformations this year.
✨️It really does blow me away at how effective this program is at literally changing people's lives and reinstalling hope when all feels lost.

💪it will help you put food in it's place - teaching you how to fuel your body so it can do it job.
This was an absolute game changer for me especially having a muscle disorder- wow.
I was unknowingly starving my body of the biggest ingredient it needed.

🌟The Habit forming strategies that have no choice but to flow into the rest of your life are another highlight.
👌Another game changer for me, starting at 400 steps each morning to now reaching 10,000 a day 🎊
So, so much more.

If January is calling you to take action and get an extra spring in your step get in touch and we can get the ball rolling 😉

How 💲$MUCH$$💲 do you love me?

It's always a great discussion to have with parents and often ends in the realisation that:

✨️Our love for our children/families is often so immense that no gift quite feels enough to express it.
So, we often find ourselves going BIG or ALL OUT - whether we can afford it or not.

In the hope, particularly for our children that they will see 'how much' they mean to us.

It then leads into a discussion of:
✨️What were our favourite memories of Xmas or for those who didn't have a nice time in those years. What memories they want to create for their families.

We hear the simplest of things that didn't go remotely towards what they received:

🌟decorating the tree
🌟the family games on the lawn
🌟making a certain item for the table
🌟making a .........
🌟going into town for a hot chocolate on Xmas Eve.
🌟staying up late for the Xmas lights
🌟sleeping in the lounge on Xmas Eve.

💕Connection 💕Connection 💕

Not stuff - that puts financial pressure on mum and dad or unnecessary volume that ends up in the dump. 😕

Stay tuned over the next couple of days as I share some of the ideas from my wonderful mums from classes and beyond.

I listened to a great audio on my walk this morning that talked about the change in approach to Living a long life.
"I want to live until I'm........."
& how, now we realise longevity is nothing or not as enjoyable without our health.

She says food is a message to your DNA and has no choice but to play out in your body.

Some of her tips were:
🌟learn what fuels your body.
🌟slow down and chew your food so you receive the nutrients
🌟reduce stress so the stomach can do its job.
🌟shop around the outside of the supermarket & eat the rainbow.
🌟Sun for 10-15 min (even on cloudy days)
🌟laugh & say 3 things you're grateful for daily
So so much more.

Some days ya don't feel like doing the things - but you've just gotta do the things, because it's worth it.

About Me

I’m Jacqui from Evolve Your Life.

A Personal Life Coach passionate about helping others gain insight and grow from the up’s and downs that everyday life presents.

My aim isn't to sell you the story of a ‘perfect’ life. Although when you do this work - you naturally begin to feel a gratitude that alters your perspective, causing life to feel better.

My aim instead is about helping you become less reactive to the world around you. To gain insight into your unconscious beliefs that often rule your thoughts, behaviours and interactions with others, without even realising it.
