Have you ever thought that spending money on a weight loss expert, personal trainer or fitness class was an indulgence?
I used to believe this. When I was growing up I was taught – “money doesn’t grow on trees” – I grew up thinking life was hard, and there was no place in our life for frivolous behaviour, like spending money on yourself as money was hard to come by.
Now I see things completely differently.
I feel there is nothing more important than our health and well being.
Our emotional and physical health is the centre of our existence. If we don’t have wellness and health – we don’t exist.
I believe you’re here to express our own unique gift in the world and you can’t express your gift if you are trapped feeling low energy and off track with your health and weight.
Your body is an energy generating machine with mind blogging capabilities!
Why not centre your life around getting the best out of it. Imagine what you’d do – how you’d feel?
Do you catch yourself – if you say or hear others say:
-I don’t have enough time
-I’m too busy
-I’ve got other priorities
-I’ll focus on myself when…..(the kids leave home, etc)
-I’ve got too much do
-I don’t have enough money
-I’m too stressed
This kind of talk is a habit. We put everything ahead of what is actually the most important thing for us.
We think…when things slow down, then I will focus on me.
To re-prioritise you want to become aware of what our body is communicating to you – when it is not happy.
Here are 5 signs to pay attention to:
1) You struggle to make it through the day without caffeine and you are hit with that mid afternoon slump
2) You have a ‘ping pong’ mind – you feel your mind is jumping about all over the place and you find it hard to focus on one task at a time or you find yourself really lacking focus or ability to concentrate. You also find it hard to switch off at night. I call this low mental energy.
3) You get cravings and feel your appetite is out of control – yet you don’t feel true hunger that much and you find you have strong urges to overeat at night. I call this hungry but not hungry.
4) Your emotions feel all over the place or you have a short fuse, you judge others, you don’t keep commitments or are always late and never on time. This is low emotional energy.
5) Your digestion feels sluggish and you suffer with bloating. You also feel low energy after meals especially lunch.
If you can resonate with anything I’ve just said – this is great because then you can start to do something about it!
