I love being a health coach.
I love being part of my clients’ journeys to better health and happiness.
I love being inspired by their achievements.

We all know we should be exercising regularly, but so many of us skip it. Why?
I think for many of us, we have so much other stuff going on, that we don’t make it a priority. I hear so often from my coaching clients that they just don’t have time to exercise. What they’re really saying is that it isn’t a priority.
Why, when we know that it is so important for our health, is it not a priority?

Last blog post we talked about the Circle of Life, an exercise to identify which areas of your life you are finding satisfying, and which less so.
If you’ve not yet completed the exercise, take a few minutes to do so now.
How was your satisfaction score for physical activity?
Perhaps
… 10 … love it, I move my body regularly and reap all the benefits for physical and emotional health
… 5 … fit it in when I can, don’t really like exercise (or love it but don’t prioritise it)
… 2 … I dislike exercise and it dislikes me

One of the first exercises I do with health coaching clients is the Circle of Life, as it’s a great visual picture of aspects which are fulfilling at this stage of your life, and which need a bit more love and focus.
To feel truly happy and healthy, most of us need to feel satisfied in a range of aspects, including health, physical activity, home cooking, home environment, relationships, social life, joy, spirituality, creativity, finances, career and education.

As Joshua Rosenthal, founder of Institute of Integrative Nutrition, says ‘someone who spends their entire day hating their job is probably not going to go home and make a salad’.
A perfect example of a self-perpetuating cycle easy to get caught in. I certainly have, many times.
When we are feeling stressed, anxious or tired, we’re more likely to make poor food choices, which in turn feeds the very feelings we are trying to dampen.
And while what we shouldn’t be choosing to eat is familiar to us all, such as processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, refined sugars, artificial sweeteners and other inflammatory foods, did you know there are certain foods that are particularly good at boosting the feelings we wish to have more of, and reducing the effects we wish to have less of?

‘It all started here, in Queenstown’ my husband chimes in.
Which rather took my breath away.
It had indeed.
Just over five years ago, in late summer, I lay curled in the foetal position on the bathroom floor of a Queenstown hotel, in between bouts of vomiting from the sudden pain. Absolutely unwilling to miss my 40th birthday present, trekking the Milford Track with hubbie, my parents looking after our children, I somehow struggled onto the transfer boat and along the 4-day hike. Each time the pain took over, every ten minutes or so, I’d assume the foetal position, initially on the dry track, later in the mud, trying to focus on the rain on my face, rather than the wave of agony rising, and thankfully also falling, in my groin.

It took a health crisis for me to radically reduce harmful chemicals in our household. I’m now passionate about sharing what I’ve learned with others – before the health crisis.
These 10 ways to reduce harmful chemicals in your household are not expensive, ineffective or difficult, they simply require a shift in perspective.
I look forward to your questions.

‘When one door closes, another opens.’
Cliché, but oh so true for us at the moment.
This is the thought process we’ve traversed over a tumultuous few months:

15 major moves.
6 countries.
Every decade of my life.
Not all have been healthy. I get better at moving in a healthy and happy way with each relocation.
And it makes all the difference to the overall success of the move!
As a certified health coach, I help women and men relocate and resettle in a healthy and happy way, so they have the energy and enthusiasm to enjoy their new location all the sooner.
I don't help you pack the boxes, hire a removalist, find the perfect house or book your travel - although I do have a handy FREE eCourse to assist with these logistics.
What I do is help you clarify what is most important to you, so you can embrace this next chapter of your life with confidence, inspiration and radiant good health.
