1. CLAIM YOUR GOALS

And NO I’m not talking about your new year’s resolutions, but actual goals… What symptoms do you want to be free of? How do you want to feel in your body? Define what your healthiest self actually looks like… then make a plan to get there!

If you claim them, write them down, make a vision board and then make a plan, you are keeping your mind focused on what you want to achieve. To quote Tony Robbins here ‘where focus goes, energy flows’. In other words, whatever you put your attention on is more likely to become a reality, so get super clear on what is it you want!

2. CREATE HEALTHY HABITS

Too often we go in with an all or nothing approach, like signing up to the gym and training everyday for the first couple of weeks, then burning our bodies out or injuring ourselves sets us back or to a complete halt

Pick no more than 3 new habits, and be REALISTIC with them. Maybe it’s going to the gym 3 x week, preparing your meals in advance and meditating daily, but make sure it is something that feels doable and just a little outside your comfort zone. 

Then pick a time and pop it as a recurring event in your calendar so it actually happens, and you can progress and increase from there. Trying to do everything all at once is a recipe for failure (take it from me – I learnt that the hard way). Let’s first build momentum and then keep progressing!

3. EAT WHOLE REAL FOODS

A healthier body is one that isn’t inflamed, in pain or highly symptomatic – and this really does start with your food. Eating food that grew in the ground, walked on the earth, and is as close to nature as possible is a real food… Tell you what you don’t see growing on a farm

A field of bagels!

Put it this way, the less processed the less inflammatory, it really is that simple. You don’t have to overhaul your entire pantry, start slow, make some swaps and increase your greens, you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel. 

Take a slower trip around your supermarket (btw I say AROUND because the perimeter is where you will find the REAL food). Plan you meals before you go, read the ingredients on the ‘food’ you pick up, and get curious about what you’re really putting into your body.
