Ever hear yourself saying, "Oh I'm not a runner" or "I don't enjoy working out" ?

I hear it from my friends all the time! They think because they don't have the body type, or the right shoes, or right gym membership.. they wouldn't even consider themselves athletes. 

But, have you ever complete a workout, even if it was from home? Or gone for a walk and maybe jogged a little? 

If you answered yes, then you are an athlete. And this is when it'll all change for you moving forward. I explain how and why in today's episode.

"The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself, often well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The mind is the athlete, the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further, or box better."

Ok let's be honest, there is nothing "simple" about fighting a huge, beastly dragon we call sugar, but it's a proven strategy that works every. single. time. As a former fitness competitor who developed a bad relationship with food, I learned WHY sugar was so bad and addicting and came up with a plan. 

Meditation doesn't have to be sitting in awkward positions and making strange sounds with your mouth. Instead, let this be how you begin to clear the mental clutter and feel more at ease in the face of hard days.

My health story:

Growing up I had a happy, healthy and energetic childhood, all that changed in a heartbeat December 2010 after some severe stomach pain meant I ended up in hospital and subsequently, due to a plethora of symptoms, became completely bedbound for the majority of the next 5 years. Since then, it’s been a long and complicated medical journey resulting in several diagnoses.

Being completely honest there is not a single part of my life that my health doesn’t impact in some way. Not that I let it stop me doing what I fully set my mind to, I’ve become very good at coming up work workarounds! It does, however, mean that I am truly conscious of the impact health has on our lives in general and think your message is so important.

And you can NOT miss the last piece of advise she gives...

I hated the timed mile back in grade school and high school. Remember those days? It was the ultimate test given in PE to see how fit you were.. how fast you were.. or for most kids, a reminder just how much you hated anything to do with running and therefore fitness. Because running was fitness.

We were also given “fit tests” as 9 year olds.. how many pull ups can you do?

In this episode, I call out our PE class negative experiences and just how to turn that in to lessons you can put in to practice to become a better, healthier version of you. 

What causes anxiety? How can you overcome it? CAN you overcome it or is it something that’s managed?
