3 Keys to Cultivate Self-Love PODCAST EPISODE We all need a little help in how to cultivate self-love, gratitude and a positive mindset. So earlier this week I shared an inspiring talk with Nicole Coggiola, Health & Lifestyle Coach over at the Nourished Goddess. I’ve discovered I really enjoy connecting with like-minded souls around the world and sharing interesting conversations and stories that speak my language. This one dives a little deeper into the importance of the mind and gratitude when making healthy lifestyle changes. Aspects that can’t be ignored when creating inner transformation for outer change. It’s all about being a

She’s Coming OFF her Anti-Depressant Medication! Here’s How…. For those of you experiencing depression, anxiety, isolation or low self-esteem, I want to share this story with you to provide hope for a future you might not yet be able to imagine possible… Last week after teaching a postgraduate course on Autonomic Nervous System Reprogramming to my MindBodyFood Institute Advanced Diploma students, I received this totally unexpected gift of appreciation. The student who gave it to me came to this work after working with me on her self-doubt, insecurities and personal fulfillment. She wanted to feel happier, healthier and create a sense

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.

MINDBODYFOOD PODCAST How to Rewrite Your Life Story! We all have that one story that we like to tell ourselves or others from our youth. A defining moment that may have felt unfair, painful, hurtful, justified. We’ve often told this story (what may feel like) a thousand times, and maybe that “fish” has gotten bigger every time you tell it! Where do the stories we tell ourselves come from? What decides if we react or respond in any situation? What holds our values and beliefs, and creates our feelings and behaviours? THE THOUGHTS IN OUR MIND. I’m sure you’ve heard that the

How to Set Healthy Boundaries and Build Your Self-Esteem

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on September 12, 2016 / Holistic Health, Inner-Strength, Lifestyle, Mental-Health, Mindset, Personal Growth, Positive change, Positive Psychology

Need Help Setting Healthy Personal Boundaries? If you feel uncomfortable with someone else in your space, if you’re feeling angry when other’s won’t listen, or when other’s continue to mistreat you or behave in inappropriate ways, then you may need to step up and start getting clear about your personal boundaries. Healthy boundaries are necessary to protect all areas of your life. For example: Material boundaries determine whether you give or lend things, such as your money, car, clothes or books. Physical boundaries help you determine who may touch you and under what circumstances. Mental boundaries apply to your thoughts, values,

Break Free of Fearing Food

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on August 1, 2016 / Body Image, dieting, Eating Disorders, Eating Psychology, Emotional Eating

Break FREE of Fearing Food Going out to eat used to always be an anxiety-inducing routine of worrying what I’d wear to hide my body, who would be there scrutinising my body, and what food was on the menu that would put fat on my body. I’d study the menu prior to arriving so it would reduce the panic time in front of my friends, delaying everyone’s orders. The extra eyes on me only fuelled my anxiety and generally resulted in me ordering something I didn’t really want so that I’d spend the entire time waiting for the dish, worrying about if I made

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

Bloating, Pain, Hospitals and Parasites Become Your Own Best Health Advocate If you follow me on my Facebook page you’ll know that last Wednesday I was woken in the early hours with EXCRUCIATING lower right, abdominal pain followed by vomiting bile. I was taken to hospital and drugged up on morphine, asked to pee in a jar, fill up with fluid for a couple of ultrasounds, then drink a litre of dye and be injected with contrast for a CT scan. The suspects – kidneys, ovaries and appendix – were all clear, but not before they offered to call a surgeon to cut me

Almond Toffee Chocolate Bark Recipe

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on May 20, 2016 / Food, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition, Raw Chocolate Making

Almond Toffee Chocolate Bark Recipe This clean eating recipe needs little introduction. I love almonds, I love raw honey and I love dark chocolate. Why not put them all together?! So what it’s made with natural raw honey, and I boil it first. It’s still a natural food that is made with love. It’s a super easy recipe that’s simple, yet certainly not plain! The children loved it so I started teaching them how to make this simple toffee and how it reminded me of toffee apples – of which the children have never tried. So you never know, we may make them

Manage Stress with Meditation

Manage Stress with Meditation You’ve probably heard a lot of positive things about Meditation like it’s great for stress, heart issues, sleeping, mindful eating, weight control, concentration, healing etc., but maybe you’ve thought: I don’t know where to start I don’t have time for meditation I’m not interested in any religion I’ve tried it before but it didn’t stick, or the style didn’t suit me I don’t know if I’m doing it right [Tweet “There are a lot of reasons why people are discovering meditation but the biggest one is stress.”] I often have new clients and students contact me for medical reasons: “I have

Best Ever Deluxe Cashew Brownie Recipe

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on May 16, 2016 / Food, Health & Fitness, Healthy Eating, Holistic Health, Nutrition

Best Ever Brownie! This my friends, was a conscious effort in creating a decadent, soft and absolutely melt in your mouth, soft and gooey brownie to serve with cream and loved ones. Cooking with real whole foods has been a wonderful way for me to indulge when I feel like it and without the guilt. It’s also been a wonderful introduction for the children to learn how much better making and eating real whole foods can be over the packaged, processed and white sugar-laden options. They love this brownie and they know when they’ve had enough, without feeling deprived or feeding a sugar
