MENTAL NUTRITION


" Nourish your mind as well as your body...That's Holistic."

"Insert motivational quote here..."

Sometimes we need a good hard push to take the first steps in better health. For some it is a 'health scare', a 'wake-up call' .. for others it's actually paying attention to the words of someone like myself, who WILL hold your hand BUT will be truly honest with you. I WILL let go at some point.

I consult with so many different, dynamic, beautiful and unique individuals and am confronted time and time again by the same barriers.

What are they?
  • Fear of change (because food is still being used as an emotional crutch)
  • Lack of priority for self and health (but still has self and health as a goal)
  • Catastrophic thinking and actions (letting one square of chocolate equate to a failure then spiraling into 'why bother' 
  • Excuses Excuses Excuses (based on above i.e. time or money - because lets be honest a bad action can be done in the same amount of time as a good one and cost just the same)
  • Procrastination 
  • Lack of ownership and accountability
  • Misguided and unrealistic expectations/goal setting (do your goals factor in all the variables?
  • Height, physical status, life-stage, hormone status, surgical status, skin, previous damage, mental health, physical health etc...I've said it before, if while obese you hinged your happiness on being thin, you may find that your feelings are unchanged when you get there.... )
  • Inability to accept and appreciate yourself truly for who you are, regardless of the skin you are in... (this one is a huge trigger for the one above)
  • Unaddressed emotional triggers
  • Acceptance of failure due to a 'I know best' attitude (sometimes you have to trust that someone else may know better)
  • Failure to try...

My challenge for you, or my takeaway message...
Living and challenging the negative causes discomfort, but you aren't alone.
​
Have your own back, just get up and TRY.
Stop procrastinating, making excuses, being scared and Just try!
