Please don’t use excess weight as an excuse to delay your happiness. Imagine yourself looking back at your life to realise that you didn’t fully live to your potential because you were too busy beating yourself up for the size of your body. Oh, what a painful regret ... what a tragedy. Plant the right seeds today.

Brendon Burchard, author of “Hacking High Performers & Productivity Tricks,” has a beautiful bio-hack for tapping into your own direction and what matters to you most. Once we are clear on where we would like to head, it is easier to get motivated and to stop the running in fear and find the love in taking steps forward. We can then let the love and aspiration drive us past our fears.

Brendon, suggests finding three words that describe your highest, best self and writing them down where you’ll see them throughout the day. (I have mine on my note in my phone). I then set a phone alert to go off three times a day to remind me of these words and to check in if up till that point in my day, I am adhering and choosing options and tasks that keep me inline with my highest self.

This trick is perfect for moving you out of your comfort zone and towards who you want to be and be seen as, remembering your motivation as you get started.

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
