I recently read Florence Given's 'Women Living deliciously'.

It was a rollercoaster read with inspiring thoughts and insight.
And I loved the theme of living deliciously.

In my coaching, I'm always excited to watch my clients transform from negative body image and low self-worth, to embracing self-compassion and self-love.

Florence writes: "You deserve to live life happily just as much as the prettier or thinner version of you."
I love this!

A reminder that your wellbeing includes self-compassion and self-love.

What made you slow down in this moment to read this post?

In our fast-paced live, we rarely take a moment to slow down and be in the moment.

I'm quickly going to the shops
I'm quickly going to send an email
I'm quickly going for a coffee break
I'm quickly having my lunch

The demand on us (self-inflicted or otherwise) to get things done quickly can impact our overall wellbeing.

Whether it's work, social, food, events...slowing down gives your time to appreciate, be more in the present, and 'digest'.

When last did you slow down to 'digest' the email, the message, the conversation, the meal, the sunset...?

One of the biggest challenges my clients face is prioritising themselves.
Their own wellbeing is forever on the back burner.

So... I wanted to share some tips on prioritising - whether at work, at home or self wellbeing.

Challenge:
You likely have a 'to do' list(s) as long as your arm. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day and and demands seem overwhelming.

Suggested solution:
The art of prioritising can enable you to identify and remove the less important tasks, make everything seem much more doable and ultimately reduce your stress levels.

Here are 4 steps to get you going:

βœ… Make a long list
Or, if you have a number of lists, get all your lists together and review them.

βœ… Theme your list
Look at the sorts of items that are on your list.
How could you logically group them together? What are the common themes? For example: work / kids / house / health & fitness / holiday / etc.

βœ… Group your actions
Put actions under the applicable headings.

βœ… URGENT versus IMPORTANT
Are you focussing your time on A (urgent & important)?
Are you giving enough attention to B - so that this doesn’t become an emergency later?
Are you being distracted by time wasting activities in C & D?
At the start of each week, review each section of your list to identify priority tasks (A: Urgent & important).
The rest: give them a rough date when you will action them (so you know they are not forgotten).

πŸŽ‰ Bonus tip
Learn to say NO!
Don’t just say yes to everything. If you know what you have on your plate and you have done some prioritisation, it will be easier to say no - to yourself and others.

p.s Don't forget to include yourself to your list πŸ˜€

A reminder: indulging in "pie" doesn't ruin a healthy lifestyle, just like one salad doesn't make you perfectly healthy.

- Make space for both choices.
- Give yourself permission to have "pie" from time to time.
- When you have "pie", enjoy it and then move on.

Is your hunger physical or emotional?

The work day can be filled with meetings, stress, deadlines etc.
And when hunger hits, you might reach for your lunch, top up your coffee, grab something from the vending machine...

In these moments, ask yourself "is my hunger emotional or physical?"

Physical hunger
- Comes on gradually and can be postponed
- Can be satisfied with any type of food
- Once you're full you can stop eating
- Causes satisfaction, doesn't cause guilt

Emotional hunger
- Comes on suddenly and feels urgent
- Causes specific cravings like chocolate, ice-cream, pizza
- Eat more than you normally would. Feel uncomfortably full
- Leaves you feeling guilty and cross with yourself

Save this as a reminder to check in with your hunger.
It's a good first step in understanding your body and your relationship with food.

Let's talk breakfast...

noun - a meal eaten in the morning, the first of the day.
Breaking the fast from the night before.

Some mornings you may need to fuel your body to get through a morning of back-to-back meetings. Other mornings, you may hold out until you feel hungry.

You may also be influenced by the many trends - Fasting, high-protein, smoothies...

Creating a healthy relationship with food is learning to listen to your body - what it needs, what signals it's sending you.

I'd love to know how you approach breakfast?
How do you decide when (or if) to eat?

Are your 'running' on empty?

I often use the analogy of a car and petrol.
You wouldn't expect your car to get from A to B without petrol.
It simply would not get there.

Yet we do this to ourselves.
And the result:
❌ Low energy
❌ Poor concentration
❌ Irritable
❌ Low blood sugar
❌ Rollercoaster moods

These are your body's cues that your tank is low and needs topping up.

Save this as a reminder to keep yourself fuelled and share with a friend or colleague who needs this reminder.

Could your autopilot be holding you back?

You may have intentions this year to make and do things better - eat better exercise more, take on a new role at work, connect with friends more, clear your debt, have more fun...

The intentions may be good, but implementing them is where most of us struggle. And often it's because we're stuck on autopilot.

Most of what you do and how you do, are habits.
Most of your habits are automatic - you don't even have to think about them.

But for change to happen, your unhelpful habits need to change.

Here are three questions to ask yourself, to get the process started:
- Is my current habit/behaviour helpful for the changes I'd like to implement?
- What will my life be like if I change my behaviour/habit?
- What will my life be like if I don't change my behaviour/habit?

Change won't happen if we repeat unhelpful patterns.

How do you feel?
How do you feel about yourself?
From your head to your toes, inside and out.

Sometimes you need to step back and look at the whole picture.
- How you nourish yourself
- How you move your body
- How you manage stress
- How you sleep
- How you talk to yourself

Each of these play an important part in how you feel.
Sometimes you may need to pay attention to one or more and make some necessary adjustments.

A reminder that feeling good (and feeling good about yourself) is not a quick fix.
