Why I’ve failed in the past

Happy New Year!

I hope that, wherever you are, you are safe, happy and healthy.

We have so much devastation happening right now in Australia with huge bushfires burning out of control, and the people and animals affected are never far from our thoughts.

But, as always, Aussies always band together in times of crisis, and it’s been so moving to see just how many people from right around the world are making a difference with their donations and words of support.

If you want to help out, click here to read a great article about all the different ways you can make a difference.

Plus, there is a fantastic initiative on Instagram and it’s called @SpendWithThem. This IG account shares various small businesses from fire affected areas, so that you can purchase everyday items directly from their business – making a huge difference to the communities who really need all the help they can get right now.

With the New Year comes New Years Resolutions…. Did you set some this year?

Rach and I did, and this year we did things a little differently. We set less goals than usual and many of them were ore simple goals, rather than going for the big grand goals that we have in the past!

We are definitely still stretching ourselves, but not in a way that’s totally overwhelming and de-motivating!

This week’s video is all about why I’ve failed in the past… How I’ve been caught out wanting to do too many things all at once and why I’m doing it differently now and into the future.

Do I have to count calories?

There are so many different methods to help people lose weight.

Counting calories.

Counting macros.

Fasting.

Cutting out food certain food groups, like carbs or dairy.

Many of these methods require lots of time to track and calculate totals…. Time that many of us just don’t have, meaning that any attempt at sustaining these methods long term fails miserably.

Then we’re back to where we started from.

In this week’s Transformation Tip, we discuss some straightforward, easy to implement strategies for getting healthier, leaner and losing weight!

I’ve just started working out and I’m so sore – please help!

So often when we first start working out, in the day or two after exercise, we wonder why we thought it would be a good idea in the first place!

We can feel sore – really sore – and everyday things like getting out of bed or sitting on the toilet can be a challenge.

Well, I’m here to reassure you that the soreness is normal!

In this week’s video, I explain a couple of things:

1. Why the soreness happens.

2. What we can do to help it!

I’m also here to reassure you that the soreness will ease over time. You won’t feel like you’ve been hit by a truck as your body adapts to the exercise… So keep on moving 🙂

Want to fall asleep faster, stress less and be happier?

Sounds good, right?

Be able to fall asleep fast, rather than mulling over the day you’ve just had.

Stressing less about bills and to-do lists.

Happier in yourself, your relationships and your career.

How do you do it?

One word – meditation.

Now, before you roll your eyes and think you need to start chanting “hummmmm” and becoming enlightened, let me explain something!

Whilst meditation might look like that for some people, for others (like myself), it can take on many different forms.

Taking a walk in nature.

Stand up paddle-boarding.

Doing a crossword puzzle.

All are different forms of meditation, and can have a positive effect on your mental state.

In this week’s video, we dive into the topic of meditation – what we do, how it helps us and what you can do to get started on your meditation journey, if that’s something you’d like to do.

How to get motivated when you don’t know what motivates you!

Great topic this week and a big thanks must go to the legend who asked this question!

Do any of these statements resonate with you?

– I’ve just achieved (insert your goal here). Now what?

– I don’t know what I want anymore.

– I know I need to make some changes to my health and fitness but I don’t have anything to work towards.

All of these are really common, and as we go through life, our priorities shift and change.

That’s why sometimes it can be challenging to pinpoint what we want.

This week, Rach and I share a few quick tips to help you discover what’s most important to you and how to find the methods and strategies to help you fulfill your biggest wishes.

Tips to help manage your mental health

We have the privilege of seeing people transform before our very eyes – and we don’t just mean physically!

To change the person on the outside, you need to help the person on the inside, too.

Mental health and well-being is a huge area of focus these days, and for good reason. The suicide rates in this country are skyrocketing.

We’ve personally been touched by this, with Rach’s dad losing his battle with mental illness a few years ago. Plus, so many other friends, family members and even myself personally have experienced some challenges with mental health over the years…

So it’s a hugely important issue to us.

Chances are you have someone in your life who may be feeling less than great right now. That person might even be you.

So this week, we wanted to share a few practical ideas that may help.

These aren’t the be all and end all, of course – each person and experience is unique – but they’re a starting point and have helped to make a difference in our lives and the lives of those close to us.

If you, or anyone you know needs help with managing their mental health, please call:

You’re not alone in this.

How to build confidence

When you’re not where you want to be in any area of your life, chances are your confidence is going to be down.

You can feel lost, alone and like you don’t know where to begin to make any positive changes.

If you’re battling with your weight, for example, it’s easy to feel completely overwhelmed by everything you need to “change” in order to lose weight.

Things like eating more regularly, cutting out soft drink, getting more sleep, exercising more often, drinking more water, etc etc – it can all feel totally out of reach, and then chances are you’re not going to start at all.

But you know what?

It only takes one small change to make a difference.

And then when you master that, you can make another small adjustment.

And that’s how confidence is built!

Watch this week’s video and learn more about this super important topic, so that you can start making progress towards a happier, more confident you today!

Feeling stressed?

Stress is something that affects us all from time to time.

Good stress is necessary, like putting your body through a tough workout – that’s great stress!

But feeling overwhelmed with your to-do list, your responsibilities and your day to day life, that’s not great stress!

We’ve just come off a huge week in our family with Luke being away, him needing to prepare an important presentation on top of all his other commitments, rough drop offs with our preppie at school and our 2 year old being unwell, along with all the usual things that come with running a business and a household…

We were a little overwhelmed!

But we could have been feeling so much worse if we hadn’t already implemented some strategies over the last few years to lighten the load and manage stress in our lives.

And now we’d like to share these with you

That’s what this week’s Transformation Tip is all about – enjoy!

Stretches and gentle movements for a sore lower back

Sitting at a desk all day.

Sitting on the couch at night.

Spending lots of time driving.

Rocking your baby to sleep.

Hunching over our phones.

All of these situations (plus so many more) can have an impact on our lower back.

Tightness in our hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings often promote back pain because the muscles are pulling in ways they probably shouldn’t be!

In this week’s video, we share with you some stretches and rolling techniques to help alleviate back pain and give you some much needed relief!

These movements can be done at home or at work, while you’re watching tv at night or on a lunch break during the day.

Enjoy!
