Five Simple Ways to Honour Your Body

Your body is where you live. It is the thing through which you experience this life and it's constantly conspiring to keep you here on this planet. Your lungs breathe, your heart beats, your neurons are firing, your digestive tract is working... all with no conscious effort on your part! Personally I think that's pretty damn rad!! Yet so many people struggle with a negative body image. With hating the body they live in. With the self loathing that can come along with it all.

Taking Responsibility for your Body Image.

Do you take responsibility for your body image? For the negative voices in your head? For the things you say to yourself when nobody else is around? For the way you judge yourself? You may be shouting 'YES!!!' from the rooftops! Or you might be in the 'umm... NO! It's not my fault!' category. Lately in my life, the subject of taking responsibility has been coming up A LOT. Responsibility for your actions, for your words, for your finances, for your relationships, and for y

What Do You Do When You've Fallen "Off the Wagon"?

We've all been there. You were on a roll. Whether it be with a new exercise regime, adding a healthy food to your daily routine, or integrating more self care. Maybe you changed your mindset and were feeling optimistic and excited about what the future holds... Then you fall off track. Whatever you were doing, you stop. Maybe life got in the way.

How Learning to Move my Body in a Loving Way has Changed My Life.

Moving your body. Exercising. Training. There are lots of ways we can describe this seemingly simple thing, yet it can be incredibly complicated and difficult for some of us. There are physical challenges that arise, but more often the mental and emotional blocks are deeper and more challenging to face. I was born into a family that was fairly average as far as activity went. As kids we ran around the backyard and played catch with our Dad. Always at the park, on our bik

31 Body Positive Affirmations to Kick Start your Body Love Journey!

Daily affirmations can be a powerful tool in growing and lovingly transforming your body image. So what is an affirmation you may ask? It is a positive sentence that you repeat to yourself on a daily basis. It is something you aspire to achieve or grow into, yet said as if you're already there. Typically written down and kept somewhere you'll see it often (such as taped to your bathroom mirror), affirmations are read out loud to yourself each day. Affirmations are somethi

5 Surprising Ways Being Grateful Makes You Happier.

Being grateful has, for hundreds if not thousands of years, been one of those things that people have always done in some way. Whether it was praying to the Gods for abundant crops and giving thanks when the rains arrived, or saying Grace before sitting down to a meal. People have always inherently given thanks for what they had because they knew just how easily it could be taken away. In the past 100 years or so, this has drastically shifted.

Paradigms part 2: What makes you so uniquely broken?

So what makes you so uniquely broken? This is perhaps a strange yet deeply profound question. It's one I was asked by one of my coaches and that literally changed my life path. This is part 2 of the paradigms that I live and coach by. As a refresher, a paradigm is a guideline.
