Create your confidence and build your self-image by these very simple yet life-changing daily practices. You don’t need anything fancy to begin. You simply need to start making yourself a priority in your own life and pay attention. 3 Ways to transform your confidence: 1. Write down five things you are currently grateful for. (Use the term, “I am grateful for…”.) Focus on the positive feelings that come up as you associate them with your gratitude. Read them aloud and look for new things throughout the day. 2. Look in the mirror and name out loud, five things you admire most about

From Medication to Freedom! How my Achieving Your Wellness coaching program has helped my client move from medication to freedom. I have an intelligent, insightful and attractive young client who came to meet and work with me late last year in 2013. At only 18 she had spent years on anti-depressants suffering low moods, unhappiness, isolation and body image concerns that bordered on disordered eating. Her dreams of travel, true happiness, connection and vibrant health were being hindered by limiting beliefs and unhealthy habits and behaviours. She came to me with a desperate need to combat the life she had created for herself and turn

Do you measure your worth by your weight?

Worth Your Weight Bathroom scales. Do you have one? We don’t have a bathroom scale in our house. I’ve not weighed myself in years. I don’t look to one for punishment, judgement or expectation ANY MORE. I once relied on the bathroom scales for my self-worth. I looked to it for my daily allowance of food. I feared its’ judgement but I was compelled to step on it and wait anxiously for my result. My whole mindset and mood was determined by that number. The thing now is that I no longer measure my self-worth by a number on the scale.

Are you in Love or Hate with Your Body? How many times have you looked at your physical reflection and zoned in on the body parts you’re not so fond of, only to begin a barrage of nasty name-calling and judgements in your mind towards it?

How To Be Grateful in a Challenging World

Practising Gratitude Even though Thanksgiving is an American holiday, it’s a wonderful act of gratitude that I teach my students and clients to do on a daily basis. Particularly for those struggling to shift negativity. When our attention is constantly focused on the annoying, uphappy, challenging, upsetting or just plain hard aspects of our lives, negative thoughts can consume us. This constant worry and stress can perpetuate feelings of helplessness, depression and anxiety – particularly leading towards Christmas time. In this state of mental stress and tension it’s all too easy to forget that whatever it is, it will pass in time. In

I’m excited!! separate monthly Recently I spent a long weekend up in Maleny (near gorgeous Montville and Mapleton on the Sunshine Coast) at a practitioners retreat: learning, sharing, brainstorming and dancing….. yes that’s right, DANCING!! It wasn’t your normal kind of dancing – it was so much more than that. Initially I thought, hmm, I’m not so sure I want to do this in front of a bunch of people I don’t know! BUT… once we began I found myself quickly forgetting about the other people struggling to find their own personal rhythm; some swaying timidly, others clearly uncomfortable and

31 Ways to Feel Beautiful

Easy Ways to Feel Beautiful In Your Own Skin It’s more important to recognise and embrace your own beauty, than to compare and feel like you fall short. So today I thought I’d have a spontaneous stab at writing down what makes me feel beautiful… This is really making me think for a moment so I’ll take a few breaths, tune in and start slowly: I feel beautiful when I smile I feel beautiful after a few slow, deep breaths. I feel beautiful when I meditate using personal, powerful and present tense affirmations. I feel beautiful when I eat lots

Where does your happiness come from?

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on September 8, 2012 / Gratitude, Holistic Health, Meditation, Mindset, Positive change, Positive Psychology, Wellness Coaching

HAPPINESS – is it really just a never ending, elusive, undulating pursuit…? You know those moments where you instantly move from happiness to sadness? Do you sometimes find yourself asking, Why am I so unhappy? Why can’t I just get over it and stop feeling/being like this? Could it be that happiness for you is dependent on external things? If you want things to change in your life, YOU must be the catalyst. Others’ cannot be changed; not by force or anger or resentment. No matter how much you withdraw, pout, yell or accuse, others will remain as imbedded

How to Let Go to be Happy, Healthy and Free

By Viki Thondley | The MindBodyFood Coach on July 20, 2012 / Health & Fitness, Holistic Health, Positive Psychology, Positive Thinking & Affirmations, Stress Management, Wellness Coaching

Are you afraid of change? Sometimes we hold on to unhealthy habits, memories or relationships for fear of loneliness, resentment and uncertainty. We remain stuck in limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours. Our happiness, health and feelings are severely compromised when we remain closed and negative to life’s possibilities. mjedwards.ca/dev/me/ In these moments of internal pain, we never ask ourselves these two important questions: Is what I’m holding onto what I really, truly want? Ideally what would I rather take hold of to feel happy, healthy and free? For many years I held onto words: hurtful, horrible, hateful words that people had said to me

Lover Your Body So You Can Finally Starting Living Your Life Q – How do you love your body when all you can think of every spare minute of the day is what’s wrong with it? A – Start thinking what’s RIGHT with it! Think of your favourite pet: cat, dog, horse, bird…etc. If all you showed your loyal, loving pet was neglect, disappointment and resentment at looking after it, how do you think your pet would grow towards you? What do you think your pet would feel every time you showed it anger or frustration? Your body is similar to

When you look in the mirror, are you seeing yourself as you ARE or how you FEAR? To be a confident, self-assured and secure woman in today’s society, we’re challenged to escape the media bombardment we face at every turn: glossy magazine pages of digitally beautified models, reality TV shows with people looking anything but real, print media and radio marketing convincing you of the latest fad diet that you really need to try… Even on a good day one phrase, one word, one look can be all it takes to dent the hard won self-confidence of the woman in
