    How to Increase Your Step Count Each Day

    Adding in steps is becoming more and more important in our increasingly sedentary lives. In the past, we’ve heard of the phrase “incidental exercise”. This is when you go out of your way to add steps or more movement into your day. This doesn’t include doing an actual workout. What it does include is things like parking your car further from the shops, taking the stairs, walking to the bus stop or getting off one stop early, lose your remote control so you have to get up, sta

    Emotional Eater: Addressing your Negative Emotions

    I have struggled with this for as long as I can remember. And I still do sometimes. If you’re like me and know that your emotions trigger eating patterns… whether it’s positive or negative emotions, stick with me while I explain my thoughts. As children we were often rewarded with food. Example: be good at the shops and you get to pick a treat, don’t fight on the car trip and we’ll get McDonald’s ice creams. As adults if something good happens, our brain often wants a reward.

    Find a Hobby to Support Your Mental Health

    Do you have a hobby? Something that you can do where you just lose track of time. That thing that happens when you lose time and space, you can’t hear people, you’re 100% focused? That’s called “flow state”, most people call it being “in the zone”. Have you ever had a moment like that before? What were you doing? If it was a work task, what was it about that task that you enjoyed? There’s got to be an aspect of that that we can bring to another action and create a hobby out o

    How to Shift Your Mindset from Weight Loss to Health Gain

    If you have tried diet after diet after diet with little success, remember this: “A well-worn path doesn’t mean that you are on the right track.” If you struggle with weight and rarely see positive changes reflected on the bathroom scales, it is important to recognise that the continual diet cycle can do more harm than good—mentally, physically, and spiritually. The diet cycle typically flows like this: We start an extreme diet. We feel restricted and deprived. The cravings c

    10 Ways to Self Care, that Won't Cost a Cent

    In my opinion, there's two levels of self care. Number one being – take care of yourself on the most basic level. Shower, eat at regular times, eat generally nourishing foods, get enough sleep. Now this might sound silly to some of us but if you're a shift worker, work from home or have a crazy AF life, these might be the best you can do. And that's fine! Number two is all those things brands have conjured up in our minds about bubble baths and face masks. Which is very love

    Emotional Shock: What is it?

    How to Plan your Gym Workout

    Many people rock up at the gym and do one of two things: Do the same machines and length of cardio as they always do Wing it, wasting time and not really feeling challenged After about 2 weeks of this, they start noticing some changes – maybe not in weight but in how clothes are fitting. At about the 3-4 week mark, they get bored, motivation wears off and they begin to skip days. I speak from experience here. This has happened to me many times. And at first, I blamed the gym,

    Is Your Relationship Holding You Back?

    Many of us have goals, dreams, and aspirations of how we want life to go. You want the man/woman, and when that person comes and you fall in love, and are blissfully happy, what tends to happen is that you put aside your personal goals for a little bit. You’re “all in” on the relationship and forget about everything else for a while. Now for many of us, that means we get a little “fappy” - fat and happy. Some of us relax a little on our studies or career goals. And that’s oka

    Decluttering Your Stuff

    For the month of July, I declared “Declutter month” in my household. I’ve just been living with too much stuff. And minimalism just keep popping up for me lately. However, I am not going to go that far because I need things. I want to keep the things I actually use, or will need to like luggage or (-20) winter gear. I’ve always felt that having a tidy space, helps put my mind at ease. It lowers anxiety for many people, and I am one of them. So, I’ve been pondering this conce

    My 30 days of Meditation

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled to find focus. Like I have too many tabs open, too much to think about, plan and do. Making lists does help, sometimes. I rely on that happy dopamine hit when I cross something off. And with my terrible memory, it helps me remember everything. My mind becomes overwhelmed, scattered, unfocused and that causes stress and anxiety, which just makes it all worse. Because I’m anxious about being anxious and that causes more anxiety, plu
