Look there’s nothing wrong with ageing at all. And in fact I also believe that it can be an amazing experience where we learn so much about ourselves, we give less of a crap about what others think and we finally become more free from some of the expectations that society has thrown at us when we’re younger.

However, if you’re anything like me, you also want to have amazing quality of life for as long as humanly possible. You want to feel good, you want to feel energetic, you want to feel happy in your skin, and you want to be able to keep moving about with ease and have an amazing sense of independence.

Well the thing is that if that’s what you want for yourself, then there is no better time to start working towards that than now. Because honestly, the things you do now and the way you live your life now will also contribute towards how you feel as you get older.

So, we’re going to dive into that today and talk about the top 5 things you can start doing right now, to improve your quality of life for the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years.

We’re all familiar with the concept of spending time and money on the things we want. And when it comes to our health, wellbeing and fitness it’s often no different - we think about spending money on a gym, on better quality food, or we think about spending time on exercise, or prepping healthy meals.

Well this is where we’re going to flip that thinking. Because when we always see these things as money or time spent it can sometimes feel pretty hard to let go of that time or money. But what about if we started to consider these things as investments.

Investments of our time, our money, our trust in order to reap the rewards of better health, better fitness, more confidence or whatever it is that you want for yourself right now. Because you can bet your bottom dollar that choosing to not invest those things is going to get you nowhere pretty fast.

So, today we’re going to get into talking about how you can learn to invest more in yourself and truly reap the rewards.

Every year, thousands upon thousands of us will start the year embarking on a fat loss plan. It’s the classic antidote to the overindulgence of the Christmas holidays.

But often, many of us are in a place where we’re doing this over and over again - with every new year is a brand new diet, a brand new determination to finally lose the weight and find our confidence.

So how about in 2024 we adjust that approach. Find a solution which is going to serve us in the long term, rather than us having to revisit diets over and over and over again? Would be nice wouldn’t it?

Today I’m going to get right into that with 5 steps to fat loss that is going to help you change those habits for the long term and help you make sure that the new year diet becomes a thing of the past.

Who doesn’t go into the new year wanting to feel better, healthier, fitter, stronger, more confident? I know for sure that I want these things for myself each and every year.

So, every year I make a brand new commitment to myself in these areas, looking at the ways in which I can continue to up my game, and continue to improve myself.

And that means looking at my goals and figuring out the actions I need to take. But it also means being willing to go under the surface of that too, to go that bit deeper and to figure out what is it inside of me that also needs to change to get to where I want to go.

So, I’ll be sharing all of that with you today. Helping you to see the different layers that you need to work on to feel fitter, stronger and more confident before the year is out.

If you want to grab a copy of any of these books, here are the details:

-Rushing Woman’s Syndrome - Dr Libby Weaver

Did you know that your ego loves to be proved right? And it loves to convince you that your current identity and beliefs are the ones that are true for you (even when they’re not serving you)? And did you know that more often than not we’ll jump to the defence of our ego, to try and prove ourselves right? And that this can be a major way in which we hold ourselves back from getting something better?

Well today we’re diving into this - diving into the battle that’s going on within you between what you say you want for yourself and what your ego is actually willing to allow you to have?

I’ll be sharing what’s going on with your ego, why it wants to be proved right all the time, why that’s not a good thing, and how we can start to dampen it down to get more of what we want when it comes to our fitness and wellness.

I’ve been on both sides of the coin with weight loss. On the one hand, spending many years chasing weight loss and making it my number one priority. And on the other hand, spending the last few years focusing on very different fitness and wellness goals.

And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with working towards weight loss, from my experience it’s when we chase this exclusively and make it the be all and end all, that the problems arise.

Problems with our self esteem and confidence and problems with actually maintaining any kind of fitness routine for the longer term. In fact, when weight loss is number one, ironically we can often end up in the exact same place that we started (or worse!).

I’m not here this week to tell you not to lose weight. But I am here to show you that there is a different way, and that when we can focus on different things, we actually have the ability to make so many positive changes to our lives and build the confidence, ease and peace within ourselves that we would all love to experience.

More than ever these days, advice on fitness, nutrition and wellbeing seems to be constantly changing. Or we’re being fed massive generalisations about how to look after ourselves, which feel impractical or just don’t fit into our lives.

So it can be really difficult to know if you’re doing the right things, or the things that are going to be most beneficial to you. And that can so easily lead to procrastination or even totally freezing because we don’t know which direction to head in.

This week I’m going to tackle this and talk about how we can navigate conflicting fitness and nutrition advice, how to sort the wheat from the chaff and how to make the decisions about our own wellness which are going to serve us best and fit into our lives in a way that really works.

It’s fair to say that life can often feel like it’s happening TO us and that we’re not fully in control of our lives. And when we’re in that place it does feel like our opportunity to actually make positive choices for ourselves is massively diminished.

But the truth is that we are making choices every single day, whether we realise it or now, about what we’re saying yes and no to. And those sometimes subconscious choices can have a massive impact on what we get out of life and how we feel about ourselves.

So this week it’s all about looking at what mindful choices really are, how they can help us to get closer to the things that we want for ourselves (including in our health and wellbeing), and how we can take control of some of the choices that we’re making each day to get to our goals.
