So on Tuesday night I fractured a finger on my right hand playing netball. Not just any finger, my little finger thus rendering the break even more comedic.

It was freezing cold, we were in the final quarter of a nail bitingly close netball match and I got a tad aggressive determined to get the ball to shoot and score a much needed goal. My GK and I collided as we both went to grab the ball, with the ball somehow smacking my fingers head on.  Netball 1 Sarah 0 – but hey at least we won the match!

I spent yesterday in pain, feeling tired and sorry for myself. I’m right handed and all the simple tasks such as brushing my teeth and washing my hair were suddenly a lot more complicated. Amongst this was the feeling of embarrassment that such a small injury could render me feeling so useless. I spent half the day trying to push through the (legal) drug-induced sleepiness before giving in to a night on the settee catching up on Dickensian.

I was fast asleep by 10pm with the lavender Lumie diffuser going and woke up feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed. Today really is a new day and I’m full of beans, blog posts and determination 🙂

So what did I learn from a ‘woe is me’ day?

  • That it’s OK to take a break
  • Everyone needs a duvet day now and then
  • If you’re pushing and pushing and not getting anywhere, take a step back, take a break and rethink it
  • Allow yourself time to breathe deeply, stretch, rest, hydrate and smile

The nagging thoughts of ‘but I SHOULD be doing xyz’ reminded me of how I used to feel on the corporate treadwheel of constantly fighting to wake up at 6am, leave the house at 7am, commute for over an hour, be in desperate need of caffeine at 9am, need a chocolate fix at 10.30am, feel guilty about eating chocolate before 11am and eat some fruit (even though i wasn’t hungry), deny myself a lunchbreak until I had completed half my to do list, feel guilty about a grumbling tummy and wolf down a sandwich at my desk whilst ‘taking a break’ surfing the net, push through the blood sugar yoyo until I fell asleep on the train home, threw an instant meal into the microwave, collapsed in front of the tv and then felt frustrated as my mind wouldn’t switch off until it eventually succumbed to sleep around 1am. Tired just reading that? I know I am.

My life was a constant pressure cooker as I rushed to and from feeling guilty for what I wasn’t doing rather than ever enjoying what I was doing. I never allowed myself a moment to rest. My poor adrenal glands were so overworked I swear you could see smoke coming off them. Guilt, responsibilities, commands, imperatives and commuting were just part of life I reckoned.

How many of you feel like this? That your boss will think poorly of you if you take a lunchbreak? That you’re letting your children down if they aren’t perfectly prepared for school with correct gym kit in the mornings? That you’d love to take some time just for you, to go to the gym, flick through a magazine or cook a meal from scratch? How many of you think you’d love to do but  there is just no time?

WRONG! It is completely acceptable to take time out for yourself, to put YOU first, to SAY NO* and for goodness sake –  take a lunchbreak! The world isn’t going to collapse if you leave your desk for 30 minutes (minimum!). Trust me, you really will feel better for it, more productive and awake. You don’t have to be Superwoman, nobody is perfect so stop trying to be.

So… I’m sorry I didn’t write a blog post yesterday or clean the house like I was supposed to, but I feel so much better for resting. I’ve already been more productive in 3 hours this morning than I was all of yesterday.

Today I challenge you: do something just for you – and enjoy it while you do 🙂

Right, time for a cup of tea…..Sx

 

* Say no – try acknowledging the needs of others and then push back so it fits into your agenda when YOU want to do it.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE

I’m on a super high after a fabulous and motivating goal planning meeting this morning. I’m bursting with ideas for health + wellness expansion in the future and how to help more people feel better, be happier, have more energy and do what YOU WANT to do.

Remember that great scene in Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeiffer asking her class if “I choose to die”? Well that’s what I mean.

dangerous-minds-choose-jpg

It is both liberating and challenging thinking about what you want to do with you life but incredibly empowering in allowing you to see just how you MAKE THE CHOICE with what you want to do with my life. We all have bills, we all get tired and run down and we all need to keep going and earn money but you get to CHOOSE how to do this.

 

Sounds simple? Maybe but it’s taken me years to learn! 4 years ago I would’ve laughed at this and dismissed it saying I had no time, 3 years ago I started noticing I wasn’t happy, 2 years ago I actively started working towards it and now I’m self-employed as a health and wellness expert practising kinesiology which I love.

Teamwork is essential. I’m part of a fabulous group of 4 professionals (finance, property, marketing + complementary medicine) who meet on a monthly basis to discuss both professional and personal goals for the upcoming month. Having people to help with priority setting and accountability really keeps you on track. Plus having your goals, hopes and dreams written down provides a clear focus and less room for procrastination and ‘excusitis’!

 

STEPS FOR SUCCESS

 

 

Goal planning

 

  • Dream Book 
    • A Blue Peter style moodboard with loads of images of what you want your perfect life to look like. It’s about whatever you want to achieve. This is just for you, where you can store my secrets about what you want my life to look like (second holiday home by the sea anyone?) and keep adding to it.

 

  • Annual plan
    • Time for action planning. You now take those picture perfect images in your head and draw up a plan of how to get there. It could be to get a promotion, to change your job, to exercise more or to finally renovate your house, it doesn’t matter, each require a series of steps towards it. Write down where you want to be in a year and work out measureable steps e.g if you want a career change, Jan – investigate new career courses, Feb – sign up and work one night a week etc.

 

  • Monthly goal setting
    •  This is where the magic happens. Aim to set 3 professional and 3 personal goals for each month, after all don’t we all want a WORK/LIFE balance? Break each one down. For example, I might say: Introduce more people to kinesiology. How? i) Offering Monday discovery sessions, ii) Writing a weekly blog post iii) Giving local talks

 

Want to feel in control of your life? Give it a go! My productivity rate and achievements have soared since start this starting this in January.I know you can do it too! Write down what you want to achieve between now and Christmas and break it down into small sections.

Get in touch if you’d like to take part in a goals planning session.

 

 

 

 

Summer holidays are here – who needs some of this??

I’ve just returned from a fabulous honeymoon in Malaysia and definitely feel that I need some more of this vitamin!!

There’s something about feeling the heat on your skin and sand under your feet that lets all your troubles melt away. Get yourself outside into the sunshine to increase your Vitamin D levels and boost your happiness……

A summer essential!

I love the sense of tranquility and escape you feel on holiday. It’s a real chance to think and take stock of how you’re feeling. Ask yourself 3 simple questions: am i happy, am i healthy, am I doing what I love?

Are you happy in your job? Do you feel fit and healthy? Do you think you have the elusive work/life balance? If not, allow yourself time to think away from the pressures of daily life and just evaluate where you are right now. We are always striving to do more, achieve more, earn more but sometimes one of the kindest things for your mind and body is actually to RELAX more. Sit down, take a breather (ideally on a hammock sipping a cocktail) and just visualise what your would like your life to look like. Then picture taking a baby step towards it and think about how that makes you feel. It’s perfectly healthy to feel both fear and excitement, change can feel scary but oh so good.  Just imagine how you want to feel by next summer and start making small changes.

Want to make changes to your diet?

Let’s talk through what you’re eating and how much time you have to prepare food. I can help you devise a healthier diet that suits your body and we can use food intolerance testing to identify any foods that are triggering negative reactions.

If you want to banish that stomach bloating before you have to get into a bikini, pop in for testing and we can see if you need some digestive enzymes to help fully digest your food and reduce the bloated feeling.

Know you want to make a change but not sure how?

If you know you want to make some changes but just don’t know how, book in for a 2 hour goal balancing session where we can discuss how you’re feeling and where you want to get to. We can talk through a plan of action and work out how you can achieve it. This can be on any subject: relationships, work, diet, exercise or even house hunting. We can use muscle testing to work out where the stumbling blocks are manifesting themselves in your body and use a combination of techniques to release these and allow you to move forward.

 

Wishing you all a happy, healthy summer.

Sx
