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,

Be Happy, Healthy & Confident in your Mind, Body & Life… NOW When is the ‘RIGHT’ time to be happier, healthier, more confident and comfortable in your own mind, body and life? What you look for, focus on and decide for yourself… you’ll find. Stop looking for reasons and excuses to sabotage your health and happiness. Start looking for ways and means to create it! Things will never be perfect but they CAN change if you’re willing and ready to do the changing – whether it’s January, Tomorrow or “The diet starts Monday”! Staying stuck and struggling in so

How Memories Can Affect Your Digestion Is stress impacting your digestion?

In this powerful 6 minute video, I share a brief explanation of why we get stressed and relive past emotions when eating.

Believe in Yourself & Follow Your Passion

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on April 13, 2017 / Confidence, Holistic Health, Inner-Strength, Lifestyle, Mindset, Personal Growth

Follow Your Passion, Believe in Yourself How often do you take a moment to acknowledge how far you’ve come and give yourself a huge pat on the back for taking a leap forward? I don’t normally blow my own trumpet, but lately I’ve been practising what I encourage my clients and students to do – take a moment to acknowledge my recent achievements and how it’s changed my life for the better. Towards the end of last year I had a big mindset shift. I realised I wasn’t giving myself enough credit for the immense knowledge I’ve accumulated in the last 6

Design Your Ideal Morning to Create Your Ideal Life

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on January 30, 2017 / Health & Fitness, Holistic Health, Lifestyle, Mental-Health, Mindset, Personal Growth, Self-Care

Design Your Ideal Morning, Create Your Ideal Life Many motivation masters and psychologist agree that how you start your morning will set you up for your day ahead. With all the recent focus on starting a fresh year, I think it’s more important to focus on one day at a time, keeping your overall goals in mind, but giving your power and attention to the current moment and asking yourself, What one thing can I think about/do differently today? Putting a little thought into how you’d ideally like to be starting your day, will help you align the focus, energy

Don’t Diet this Christmas, Do This Instead

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on December 9, 2016 / Body Image, Confidence, dieting, Eating Disorders, Eating Psychology, Emotional Eating, Food

Instead of Dieting, Bingeing or Restricting this Christmas Try a New Approach… It’s that time of year again when many of us freak out at the abundant supply of festive food that is often on our “forbidden/bad/diet says no” list. Because I have no intention of losing my mind dieting for the next two weeks just so I can let loose on Christmas Day, my lead up is mostly calm, relaxed and peaceful. (I say mostly because I can’t control everything.. and it relieves a lot of unnecessary pressure when you realise that.) Your Christmas can be calm, relaxed and peaceful

Chronic Stress Impacts Your Long-Term Health AUDIO INTERVIEW w/ Alison Palmer Let’s talk about stress and how chronic stress impacts your long-term health. This year I’ve given multiple audio and video interviews and appeared on several (all different) online summits. It’s so great to connect with like-minded people in different parts of the world and talk about various topics that I love, and help people work through every day, both professionally and personally. We never stop helping others do we?! Stress is always a major topic of conversation, and a big reason why people want to learn meditation and relaxation tools.

THE POWER OF I AM How to tap into the infinite power of these two simple words I love the teachings of Louise Hay and the late Dr Wayne Dyer, who often talked about the significance of the words I AM and how we use them. When I’m teaching my clients or students about the subconscious mind and conditioned thinking, I emphasise the importance of how much power these two little words can have over our entire wellbeing. Read the next two lines and take note of how each makes you feel… I am a good person who is kind, thoughtful and caring

Let Go of Anger to Make Way for Forgiveness

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on January 4, 2016 / Benefits of Meditation, Holistic Health, Lifestyle, Personal Growth, Positive Psychology

Turn Anger to Forgiveness Forgiveness is a huge topic that can often open up many old wounds, stifling our ability to live fully and freely in the now. Angry thoughts of injustice, vengeance and retaliation can run riot in your mind, creating more stress and discomfort in your body. Forgiveness is generally defined as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you. This conscious act is done regardless of whether the person or group actually deserves your forgiveness. Just as important as defining what forgiveness is, though, is understanding what forgiveness

Let Go of Control

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on October 9, 2015 / Holistic Health

Let Go of Control & Be Yourself A client came to see me with a desperate sense of her life being out of control, specifically, her obsessive thoughts about food, eating, and her body. She had been struggling with her inner world for so long, that it took a lot of courage to even type up an email and reach out for help. When she arrived at my door with a cool and calm exterior, she gave off an air of “I’m okay, everything is fine”. Despite all her efforts though I could sense her internal chaos. She was wound up inside

Morning Routine to Access Your Subconscious

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on September 25, 2015 / Benefits of Meditation, Gratitude, Health & Fitness, Holistic Health, Lifestyle, Meditation, Mental-Health, Mindset, Self-Care

Create a Morning Routine! Influence Your Subconscious, Set Your Intention & Increase Awareness Spring is a great time to be yourself and start your day right! Start a morning routine that keeps it real and do-able! My morning routine consists of waking up, being grateful, peeing, then moving OR meditating – in that order! The practice of consciously looking for gratitude – especially in the morning as you wake, and in the evening as you prepare for sleep – is powerful in rewiring your mental programming and influencing your subconscious mind. This is why meditating is so powerful during those times. Click here and here

Yoga and Meditation Term in Highfields, Darling Downs

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on September 25, 2014 / Benefits of Meditation, Body Image, Health & Fitness, Holistic Health, Inner-Strength, Lifestyle, Meditation, Mental-Health, Self-Care

Yoga AND Meditation How cool is breathing in alignment with your body moving? And then sitting in stillness to allow the breath to flow through you? I love meditation and I love yoga, having practised both for over 25 years. At one stage, I was quite the yogini – practising regularly and feeling my whole outlook and body change as I bent, stretched, breathed and improved. Whatever was going on in my life often stepped onto the mat with me, but by the time I was finished it had released off my shoulders, heart or mind and allowed me room
