Breathing
noun: the process of taking air into and expelling it from the lungs.

It is something we do automatically, without much thought.

But... everyday life can get busy, stressful, overwhelming, demanding, exhausting.

Breathing can help in so many ways:
- Relaxation
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Act as a pause
- Help with sleep

Breathing exercises are another great tool I incorporate in my sessions with my clients on their wellness journey.

So if all you manage to do today is to breathe, that's okay.

Share this with someone who needs a reminder to just breathe.

Every time I take my dog out for a walk (especially to the beach), she reminds me of how much joy and pleasure she gets from the simplest things in life.

I saw a post some time ago that was titled - Life advice from a dog - so I wanted to share that advice.

- Chase the things that spark joy
- Smell the flowers during long walks
- Give love to those who need it
- Stay pawsitive during ruff times
- Find happiness in simple things

Joy is an important part of a health lifestyle.

What would you add to this list?

A client recently contacted me to help her lose some weight for an event she was attending....in a couple of weeks.
She was feeling desperate and hopeful.

It's not uncommon for me to get these requests and I always want to help, but I'm not a quick fix coach.

I was honest with her about my approach and that although it wasn't necessarily impossible to lose weight in a short period of time, it was not a solution to long term results.

We took a step back and discussed some non-diet options that could help her look and feel good for the occasion. And, she was keen to address her food and body relationship going forward.

We're often looking for short cuts and quick fixes, but these can come with consequences.

This is your reminder of the importance of small steps - a journey.
You'll still get there.

A healthy lifestyle is a journey.

I love this.

It's a great reminder that self-care is also about give ourselves permission to be human.

What is self-care for you?

I recently had to face my fear of having a colonoscopy.

I got the all clear (thank goodness), but sadly my father wasn't as fortunate.
He passed away from colon cancer many years ago.

I've know that I needed to have this procedure for a few years already, but like most, I'm nervous when it comes to medical procedures - especially a procedure that could have a negative or serious outcome.

Too often, we put off those preventative health check ups and procedures.

- The unknown can be scary.
- The procedure can be scary.
- Just making the booking can be scary.

But I'm so relieved that I have a clean bill of health (for now).

If you've been putting off checks, procedures or appointments relating to your health and wellbeing, I hope you'll find the courage to take the next step.

Wellbeing includes preventative health checks.

PAUSE
(verb)- Interrupt action or speech briefly.

And you probably did exactly this to read this post.

The 'pause' is a great tool for taking yourself off autopilot.
It's a tool I share with my clients to help them break their autopilot behaviours related to food.

But you can use pause in everything in life.
So many of your actions are automatic.

🚘 Driving - how many times do you get to your destination and wonder whether you stopped at all the stop streets?

💻 Emails/typing - how often do you send emails or messages without checking them for typo's or spelling errors? (not to mention predictive text getting in there).

🥙 Eating - how often do you eat at your desk (al deseko) without much notice of what you're eating, the enjoyment of the food, or the speed at which you eat?

The action of pausing interrupts your automatic behaviour and gives you the opportunity to make it a more intentional and conscious act.

Pausing is part of your wellness journey.

Share this with someone who needs to PAUSE more often.

"I have so much work on my plate"
"There's not enough time in the day"
" I intend to... but I haven't got around to it yet"

Sound familiar?

If you're not prioritising your own wellbeing, you'll eventually have nothing to give to others. You'll be pouring from an empty cup.

Schedule your own wellbeing like you would any other appointment.

Isn't it an amazing feeling when you feel good about yourself 😀 🥰

- An outfit that you feel like a million dollars in.
- Getting a compliment.
- Loving your body just as it is.

On the flipside, you might rarely feel good about yourself (if at all).
Something I frequently see with my clients - hating the person in the mirror.
They have very little self-esteem and self-compassion.

Wellness isn't just about what you put in your body or getting active — it’s about how you talk to yourself, how you appreciate yourself and how you love yourself.

Drop a 💜 if you're feeling amazing today or share with someone who needs a reminder that they are amazing.

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...?
