I am always on a mission to find the things that make a big impact to my health and happiness. But when it all boils down, it is those repeated simple habits that have the greatest impact.

For example, I know when I repeatedly (day after day) drink enough water I feel more energetic, less bloated, less hungry and more focused.

Worth drinking enough water every day I would say.

What do you repeatedly do, that has a great impact on your health and happiness?

I love this thinking ... although not a huge fan of Kale ?
Thanks Jon Gabriel for the wisdom

Exactly!!!

My whole life I have been working towards the new improved me. My diet, my home, organisation, fitness, career, relationships, parenting ... always wanting to be better, smarter, thinner, wealthier, more organised.

Self improvement is my middle name and I am a self help book ju**ie!

But it has always come from a place of not enough, not skinny enough, not good enough, not rich enough, not successful enough, not smart enough ... until now.

As I get older (and wiser) I am beginning to learn to appreciate the current ME right now. I have realised by doing so, I can still work towards a better me (we are all a work in progress) but it now comes from a place of "I am enough right now". The goals I work toward give my life meaning and purpose and as I improve in any life area and expand who I am it is growth and a beautiful bonus ... but I am already enough.

Working towards a New You is a worthy goal, but lets remember to be thankful and respectful towards the current YOU in the process. After all the current YOU is as equally worthy and valuable right now.

As we start this fresh week lets give thanks for who we are right now x

This article is worth a share. Dr Libby is a master at explaining the science around the effects of stress on our weight x

Why We Tend To Make Poorer Food Choices When We're Stressed I have never believed that weight-loss or weight management is as simple as calories in versus calories out. Our bodies are not inert and what contribute...

I remember clearly when I first starting dieting in my teens but it is only recently that I have fully understood why ... and it wasn't what I thought back then.

I have written this blog post to help women still misunderstanding the diet culture to come to terms with just how it quite literally go under our skin.

Enjoy the read x

Where did our Diet Mentality come from? Have you ever stopped to think about why you started dieting in the first place. Sometimes we may need to understand this to give ourselves permission to let it go.

Sometimes we make the simple complicated. This is never more true than in the world of diets and nutrition. \We seek the one perfect diet and obsess over measuring and counting our calories, carbs, points till it drives us crazy.

It can be simple and sophisticated ... When you are hungry eat real nourishing whole food you enjoy.

( No calorie counters, measuring cups or scales required)

I came across this article and thought it was worth the share. To lose weight many people think the calorie count is more important than the nutrient quality of the food.

However as you will discover here, sustainable weight loss comes with consistent sensible consumption of high quality nutritious foods (yes including fats) not a restrictive low calorie diet plan.

Want to Lose Weight? You Should Stop Counting Calories No more meal math: Eating high-quality foods—including plenty of fat—is the new golden rule of weight loss.

What a wonderful way to look at self improvement of any kind ... just master the day.

They got me at 2 minutes, 2 ingredients!

2 minutes, 2 ingredients, no more sugar cravings When the sugar cravings call, don’t reach for the Snickers bar. These hunger-busting snacks can be made in just 2 ingredients in 2 minutes!

This is such an important yet often overlooked step in any weight loss effort. You can't make positive changes from a place of self loathing, it must come from a place of love and acceptance x

Wow, this is very true and something to remind ourselves every time the worry becomes overwhelming x

Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace. Pause, breathe, proceed.

Said no dieter ever!!

But when we learn to distance ourselves from diet deprivation and instead truly nourish our bodies, relax and accept more awareness and pleasure in our lives, dessert and indeed food in general suddenly becomes something we can enjoy and savour without any regret or guilt. It's a lovely peaceful place to be x
