🔐Unlock the power of 'yet' and transform your m 🔐Unlock the power of 'yet' and transform your mindset to achieve your goals! By adding this one word, you open up a world of possibilities and acknowledge that success is a journey, not a destination. Let's embrace a growth mindset and keep going!
Hey everyone! I'm excited to re-introduce myself t Hey everyone! I'm excited to re-introduce myself to you all. 

📚I'm a self-proclaimed hybrid bookworm who loves nothing more than a good read. Life's too short to finish a book that doesn't hold my attention, so I'm always on the lookout for a gripping story. Whether it's a physical book or on my Kindle, I'm always turning those pages.

🚴‍♀️When I'm not cosying up with a book, you'll likely find me on a walk, or bike, or doing my home PT program, all while jamming out to my favorite tunes. Music is my jam, and I love creating my own playlists on Spotify.

✂️I'm a creative at heart and find joy in simplicity. Whether it's making soul collage maps, building Lego sets, or sculpting playdough, if it lights me up, I'm all in. 

♈️ Some might call me "woo woo" because I love astrology and Human design, but I consider myself practical woo. I'm grounded in reality but love exploring my inner self through these modalities.

📝I live with my husband, Mike, and our fur baby, Bubbles, in Wellington, NZ. Writing has been a passion of mine since I was young, and it's still a big part of my life today. You'll always find me with a pen in my hand, whether I'm writing morning pages, a to-do list, or sharing my health and wellness journey. I'm a lifelong learner and always investing in my personal development.

So now you know a little about me, I would love it if you share what makes you happy and light you up in the comments below👇
DOES COACHING GIVE YOU THE CREEPS? Maybe you've ne DOES COACHING GIVE YOU THE CREEPS? Maybe you've never seen yourself as "coachable"? Or maybe the idea of being "coached" makes you feel icky or brings up bad childhood memories (that scary year 11 teacher, ick). Whatever the reason reframing your experience of being coached can be a helpful way to move past those negative feelings. 

Instead of thinking of yourself as being "coached," try thinking of coaching as a collaboration between you and your coach. 

Your coach is there to provide support, advice, and guidance. As well as help you learn and grow. They are not there to criticise or judge you.  Ultimately, it's up to you to make the decisions that will help you grow and reach your goals. Which  can help you feel more comfortable and open to the coaching process.

It’s easy to get stuck in the mindset of “I ca It’s easy to get stuck in the mindset of “I can’t”

💕Here are 3 tips to help you turn those “cants” into “cans”.

🔹️Be realistic about what you can achieve. 

It's easy to get carried away and set unrealistic expectations for yourself, which can lead to disappointment and frustration. Instead, focus on setting achievable goals and then breaking them down into smaller parts. This will make them easier to manage and help you stay motivated and on track.

🔹️Failure is a part of success.

Don’t be afraid to take risks, as it’s only through trial and error that you’ll find what works best for you. And if something� doesn’t work out, don’t be too hard on yourself – use it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

🔹️Surround yourself with positive people who will encourage and support you. 

Having a network of people who believe in you and your goals can be a major source of inspiration and motivation.

💕The next time you are feeling the "Cant's" - Take a deep breath, and remember: you can do it!
I don't know about you, but I find that some of my I don't know about you, but I find that some of my best ideas + solutions come to mind when I spend some time in solitude.
In my opinion 'Me’ time is underrated.

Here are 3 benefits:
⏳️When you spend some time by yourself, get more clarity and inspiration.
⏳️Time spent alone is a great way to recharge and slow down for a bit
⏳️You can tap into your intuition and reflect or come up with a solution to something that has been bugging you. 

If you are struggling to find a solution, try giving this a go sometime over the next few days: 
Schedule 30-60 minutes of solitude during the week. 
Limit your distractions and disconnect from tech. 

⏳️ challege yourself to spend time alone over the next week.

Feeling tired? Struggling to keep a clear head? We Feeling tired? Struggling to keep a clear head? We've all been there! Here are 5 suggestions to help you stay focused and refreshed when you're feeling that way.

✅ Take short breaks throughout the day

Taking a break can be as simple as stepping away from your desk for a few minutes. Grab some fresh air, or stretch. This can help clear your head and give your mind a chance to reset. 

✅ Move your body

Go for a walk or do some other form of movement. It can help release built up stress and give you a boost of energy. 

✅ Express your overwhelm

Don’t keep your feelings bottled up. Talk to someone you can trust about how your feel. That someone can give you a fresh perspective which is very welcome when your mind is only focused on your never-ending tasks.

✅ Focus on 1 thing at a time

Forget multi tasking. Give yourself a time frame (for example, 30 minutes) to focus on 1 task before moving to another.

✅ Take time to do something you enjoy.

When was the last time you did something that you enjoyed? Write a list of 3 to 5 things you enjoy and schedule one of them in this week. When we make time for the things we enjoy, it can help reduce stress and overthinking.

💛What suggestions would you add to the list?
