Change Is a Process, Don’t Skip the Most Important Part

Change Is a Process, Don't Skip the Most Important Part

Don’t Skip the Most Important Part of Change Most people find change hard, particularly without any support or guidance. But the most difficulty about change is when you’re not taking the right action to help yourself create the change you want. Change requires our willingness to think, say and do things differently. This means trying new things and being willing to undertake tasks that you’ve never done before, such as finding reasons why you can try something new, instead of why you can’t. Old stories and ways of thinking perpetually create the feelings that we experience on a daily basis,

Releasing Toxic Emotional Weight - Why It's Not Always About Food

Releasing Toxic Emotional Weight Why It’s Not Always About Food   This week I reached out to a trusted friend and colleague for assistance in reaching a specific issue around my changing weight, that I couldn’t on my own. A few years ago after an emotional rollercoaster with key family members (still not resolved on their behalf), my body began to shift into protective mode (i.e. stress and survival) and my weight started to slowly increase, regardless of my eating and movement not changing – improving actually! Excess weight is often about ‘protection‘. When I became aware of what was happening, I

Why You Are Not Your Eating Disorder

Why You Are Not Your Eating Disorder

Why You are Not Your Eating Disorder ** POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING ** When a new client comes to me with an eating disorder, I always request that they change their language and stop referring to ‘their’ eating disorder as ‘mine’. It becomes ‘the‘ eating disorder, and ‘that‘ mean voice. I love working with Eating Disorders. I know not many in the health and medical professions feel the same. In fact, I’ve had several look me in the eye and state how much they “hate working with eating disorders”. They quickly move them on. Perhaps because they don’t refer to their

Stop Dieting and Trust Your Body Wisdom Instead Balanced Healthy Eating   Have you had a moment of panic about your weight since Christmas?

Why Your Subconscious Mind Sabotages You and Resists Change

Why Your Subconscious Mind Sabotages You and Resists Change

WHY YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND SABOTAGES YOU AND RESISTS CHANGE Ever wondered why your subconscious mind seems to talk you out of things that you really want to do, have or achieve in your life? We have 3 main parts to our brain with different levels of mind: the primitive, reptilian or lower brain (unconscious mind), the limbic system or mid-brain (subconscious mind) and the neo-cortex or newer brain (conscious mind). The mind powerfully influences ALL of these brain parts but none more so than the mid-brain, known as the limbic system – the part of your subconscious mind that remembers everything worth remembering.

Rewrite Your Life Story and Get Unstuck

Rewrite Your Life Story and Get Unstuck

How to Rewrite Your Life Story and Get Unstuck   We all have a story that we tell ourselves about our personality, our temperament, our behaviour, our past, present and future. Often that story is full of hurt, pain, regret, anger or blame from our childhood. Our emotional attachments to outdated stories only serve to keep us stuck in fight or flight (stress), triggered in the present by experiences and memories from the past.  They rarely serve you in feeling free, worthy, lovable and enough to move forward in your life and claim your happiness and health. Self-awareness is always the first step

7 Insightful Questions to Help You Create Real Change

7 Insightful Questions to Help You Create Real Change

Create Real Change – 7 Insightful Questions   I help people create change – the kind of deep conscious change that alters our subconscious programs and changes our reality from the inside out. There are many ways to go about change, however most people approach it in the WRONG way.  They try to force change, change everything all at once, and don’t uncover and confront the BELIEFS in their subconscious about the change they want. With our subconscious in control of 95% of our daily thoughts, it’s quite futile to try and make change without consulting what you believe about what you want, based
