Will Sizeable (tackle everything at once) Change or Small (little by little) Dietary Change, have the most Impact on your Health, Weight and Performance?

 

Purists believe that only simultaneous dramatic changes, will do. While pragmatists believe that large scale changers are unrealistic and are actually slow to take permanent hold. Instead they embody the small steps produce significant lasting impact, model.

Personally, I like a mixed approach.

Big dreams teamed up with small acts of change produces lasting success. Allowing my clients to lead the way in their change model accelerates individual progress but encouragement of a successful gentle build of new habits, with small transitions often provides for a lasting victorious result.

Introducing small shifts in thoughts and focusing on achieving small one percent improvements in your movement, sleep, recovery, nature time in addition to one percent upgrading in your nutritional knowledge and habits has proven to be the most advantageous to continuity.

Never underestimate the power of momentum!

Once you have the one percent rubric on nutrition continue searching for the one percent improvement everywhere including; movement, strength, recovery, sleep, hydrating, time in nature, breath work and meditation, creating meaningful relationship and being creative. Dream big - imagine yourself often moving way beyond you current progression but continue to embrace the benefit of the aggregation of marginal gains.

If you want to rise from where you currently stand with your nutrition and performance, you need to put the effort in. Each and every time you turn up to train or pass on those fried chips, you’re adding an extra one percent!!

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 …
