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

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 Our emotional attachments to outdated stories only serve to keep us stuck in fight or flight (stress), triggered in the present by experiences and memories from the past.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

Goodbye Louise Hay… Queen of Affirmations

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on August 31, 2017 / Holistic Health

Goodbye Louise Hay… Queen of Affirmations And Thank You. This morning I woke early for a 4am masterclass with the chairman of the National & International Council of Psychotherapists in the UK. As the masterclass was starting I read about the passing – transition – of the Queen of affirmations, Louise Hay, at the age of 90 years. My heart skipped a beat… Louise Hay’s transpersonal and metaphysical counselling work has touched the lives of countless people around the world – including me. If you’ve seen the tributes all over social media today, you may note in the comments about how many

7 Insightful Questions to Help You Create Real Change

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on April 26, 2017 / Holistic Health, Personal Growth, Positive change, Wellness Coaching

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

On Behalf of Your body, PLEASE do This

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on April 13, 2017 / Body Image, Holistic Health, Lifestyle, Mindset, Self-Care, Stress Management, Wellness Coaching

ON BEHALF OF YOUR BODY, PLEASE DO THIS…. Do you ignore your body’s needs… like the need to eat, to pee, to sleep? Are you often so busy or up in your head that you ‘forget’ your needs, or simply put your needs aside? Let’s be honest – we ALL ignore our needs at some time or another. But when it becomes a regular occurrence, your body is the one that suffers… malnutrition hormonal imbalance discomfort fatigue low energy moodiness weight gain increased stress and strain… and the list goes on. Working WITH your body means listening to its’ inner wisdom

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

Your Body is Listening to Every Thought You Think

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on February 24, 2017 / Body Image, dieting, Eating Disorders, Eating Psychology, Holistic Health, Mental-Health, Mindset, Personal Growth, Wellness Coaching

Your Body is Listening to Every Thought You Think One of my favourite pieces of wisdom is: What we think, we create. Literally. Because of my therapeutic holistic approach I spend a lot of time educating my students and clients about epigenetics, neuroscience and neurobiology. We have over 50 trillion cells within our bodies, each one listening intently to the reaction and response of our thinking, as a consequence of our perception. Every cell absorbs this perception – positive or negative, safe or stressful – and will either shrink or expand as a consequence of our thoughts and feelings, whereby creating an internal

How Dieting Works Against Your Body and What You Can Do to Work With it Have you been doing EVERYTHING “right” but your body doesn’t seem like it’s doing what you want? Don’t lose faith in it, learn to trust it again so your body can learn to trust YOU again! It’s an interesting concept that most people don’t even consider – that your body might lose trust with you after all your efforts to make it weigh less and feel healthier. The thing is most of these efforts are done without consulting the body. Instead of turning inward, asking

{Podcast} The Cost of Staying Stuck

The Cost of Staying Stuck If you’ve ever tried to reach out for help but at the last minute retreated back into the safety and comfort of what you know – even though it might be painful or uncomfortable – have you ever thought about how much it costs you to stay there? The nature of human behaviour is that we want change, but often are unwilling to do the changing! When I receive an enquiry from someone, they usually send it at a time when they can’t take it anymore. When the pain is too intense, when the discomfort

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

{Podcast Video} Abuse and Body Image – Emerging from Past Pain

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on January 20, 2017 / Body Image, Confidence, dieting, Eating Disorders, Eating Psychology, Emotional Eating, Holistic Health, Mental-Health, Personal Growth, PODCAST

PODCAST: Abuse and Body Image Emerge from Past Pain & Reclaim Your Life There are many different types of abuse. It can come from the self or it can come from others but all forms of abuse are painful. What happens when the abuse from another turns into excessive abuse towards yourself in the form of punishing, destructive and sabotaging exercise and eating behaviours? In this brand new podcast video I invited Elena Terziyska from EAT Nutrition to talk – for the first time in public – about her experience of remembering her childhood sexual abuse and how that fuelled her body
