My top tip for you if you are a serial snoozer is to set an alarm on your phone (the more annoying the sound the better) and leave your phone out of arm’s reach. Even better if it’s on top of your workout clothes ready to put on once you’ve jumped out of bed to reach the very annoying alarm! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/879b17fb-73d0-4f88-838f-9ff01c646e9f/workout+motivation Health & Wellbeing - 6 Tips For Morning Workout Motivation - Have your Workout Outfit ready Take away any chances of finding excuses or get distracted and have your clothes out and ready to put on first thing in the morning.

No one is going to feel motivated to get up and jump around when they have a headache, so drink up and stay hydrated. I always have a hydration tablet next to my bottle ready to go in the morning.

I could honestly eat this every day and never get bored! Opting for whole-wheat bread adds to the high Fibre of the Avocado which is great for digestion. Avocado is also full of healthy fats and can be enjoyed sliced or mashed up with added toppings to keep it interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/742d6f4f-4ef6-4bee-ac86-e404409ad40c/3.png Health & Wellbeing - Healthy Breakfast Ideas For Morning Energy - Smoothies Smoothies can be a great option for a healthy breakfast. They are typically high in sugars given the amount of fruits but by adding natural yogurts, protein powder, and whole fruits such as apples including the peal, you can up the nutrition content a lot. Smoothies are great for on-the-go and can be switched up to create new flavours each day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/034e7293-eb99-423d-b0e2-9614f6f82598/2.png Health & Wellbeing - Healthy Breakfast Ideas For Morning Energy - Porridge Another great healthy breakfast option. Porridge is great for slow-release energy keeping you going until lunch. High in Fibre, healthy fats, and essential amino acids. Banana and Cinnamon is so yummy give it a try! Alternatively, add some honey or berries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/8ddbe099-9a36-41be-a5c7-40cd616c92ec/Fruit+Bowl+healthy+breakfast+idea Health & Wellbeing - Healthy Breakfast Ideas For Morning Energy - Fruit Bowl Need i say more?

This book opened my eyes to Self Love and set me on the right path to self-discovery. Sharing her own story and insights from her personal journey, with beautiful illustrations and affirmations to go back to, this book offered so much more than I had expected. A prime example of not judging a book (or person) by the cover. My first thought was; oh well she’s a supermodel it’s easy to love yourself when you are that gorgeous and have validation printed on the cover of magazines.. but, I was proven wrong and ended up realizing how much more there is to people and the world beyond my own thoughts.

I found this book really helpful in the way it’s set out as a guidebook. Rather than just reading you participate in her teachings and do the work as the book suggests to really open yourself up and looking at how you see yourself and the world. You can also find bundles of her books making it a cheaper option if you’re interested in reading more. Currently FREE for new Audible sign-ups.

(SAD) - Be Prepared Recognize and keep track of when you feel this way so next winter or whichever season is hard for you, you will be aware and have time to process and prepare the most effective coping tools that work for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1718476438649-GOTQPDM3J6TVSK03UBXH/walk+outdoors Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Spend more time Outside This can be really difficult in those moments of feeling lethargic, fed up, and unmotivated, but I can not stress enough the positive effects of simply getting outside and going for a walk. Not only does simply being outside in nature boost your mood but the physical movement as well as soaking up the daylight is one of the best things you can do for yourself. If you are interested in the ways nature can help you heal, look here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/8eb4b9fb-05e4-4ab1-b5cf-7876fe82dd1f/light+therapy+lamp Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Light Therapy Lamp I have found this to be very useful for those dull cold days when I am stuck indoors, working on my laptop or doing the pile of daily chores. Using one for 15-20 minutes a day for me personally, had positive effects on my mood and actually gave me the boost to get outside and go for walks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/eb66a034-3cd5-44bf-aec5-c1ec74f85d97/1000043115.jpg Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Sunrise Alarm Clock This for me has been a total game changer. If you struggle in the mornings because of the dull, colder seasons then I would 100% recommend you try one of these. You basically set your alarm time and how long in advance you wish the “sunrise” to begin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1718476044491-UCWMOLWX81MR6KO5SNLQ/vitamin+d+for+depression Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Vitamin D Research suggests that people who experience SAD have decreased serotonin levels, which Vitamin D is believed to help promote. Taking a Vitamin D tablet each day can help regulate the production and release of serotonin boosting your mood and mental health. I personally use this Vitamin D Liquid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1718475785950-F13ANRIS65EPNMRBVQIZ/image-asset.jpeg Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Feel Good Playlist Party for one? My kinda party! Never underestimate the mood-boosting power of a great song! As soon as you feel your mood and energy lacking put on your favorite happy songs and sing and dance along, move your body, and allow yourself to feel good. FYI this is a daily practice in my home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1718475643071-G976Y8V8C1JBLLPDMH5X/good+nutrition+to+heal+depression Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Good nutrition Nutrition plays such an important part in your mood and overall well-being. Get those fresh fruits and veggies in and hydrate as much as possible to give yourself the best chance at feeling good. Food really is our fuel and we don’t give good nutrition enough credit for its healing abilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1718475582060-XLEHWV92BABB5SEVPMQC/Talk+therapy+for+SAD Health & Wellbeing - I Feel Depressed in Winter. (SAD) - Talk Share how you are feeling, I know that is easier said than done sometimes but talking to friends or family about how you are feeling can feel liberating and life the weight from your shoulders. Chances are you will also find many others who feel the same or similar to what you are experiencing. https://sweating-rainbows.com/health-wellbeing/homeworkoutchallenges monthly 0.5 2025-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1701686740609-MV4JMZRX971LU1A88J0H/image-asset.jpeg Health & Wellbeing - The Best Home Workout Challenges - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/eee40c43-12b6-4956-8dd8-806be3791b43/youtube+workout+daily.PNG Health & Wellbeing - The Best Home Workout Challenges - The Fitness Marshal Great for those days you're not feeling up for weights or the usual HIIT workout and just want something fun to get you sweating!

Fill it with things they are interested in, toys, books, games, stickers, kids’ tattoos, bubbles, and i-spy books (these are brilliant if you haven’t already heard of them!) Having a new book, toy, comic whatever it is they are interested in, helps keep them occupied but also excited and it’s a nice little tradition to keep up, it doesn’t need to be anything expensive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1715850252195-00668NFCRA55YNP86RGR/image-asset.jpeg Lifestyle - Single Parent Travel Tips - Take a copy of their birth certificate if going overseas.

Ask yourself, where are your limits? What is it that holds you back? Perhaps it’s a lack of confidence in not feeling capable? Feeling anxious or worried that you will fail or make a “bad” decision? The best way to figure out where your limits are and what is causing them is to Journal and become aware of your subconscious thoughts throughout the day. Notice the way you speak to yourself. Are you encouraging or holding yourself back? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/5cf40f25-1171-4582-9a3f-c606b1edba88/Get+comfortable+being+uncomfortable+%283%29.png Mindset - Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable. - Break through your Limits Take the next step in going further than your current limits. Once you’ve done it once your limits slowly increase and your comfort zone expands. Feeling scared, anxious, or worried are very normal feelings and responses to trying new things and stepping into the unknown. However whilst there are situations in which these feelings prevent us from danger, they can also prevent us from growing, expanding our skills, and experiencing new things. We must challenge ourselves to feel the fear and do it anyway. Nothing changes in our comfort zone. https://sweating-rainbows.com/mindset/getting-un-stuck monthly 0.5 2025-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1716732291214-FQZ4ZELKF5DDJZBVV7F8/Feeling+stuck Mindset - Getting Unstuck - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/8131d718-c1a2-41a9-afff-cdbe775c2c22/Limiting+beliefs Mindset - Getting Unstuck - Having limiting beliefs can stump our present and limit our futures. We become a faint shadow of ourselves and merely float by in life unable to take control and often not even realizing how much power we have over our lives and the ability we have to change it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/35eaacd6-dd58-45ea-85a4-8798fcba9a7d/change+your+life Mindset - Getting Unstuck - If you’re feeling stuck chances are you’re ready for a major change. You’ve likely been living on autopilot and now the plane has landed you are ready to go off and explore new possibilities. Maybe you’re just not sure how, or perhaps you’re not even sure you’re able to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/0aaaa0f3-3660-471d-ab4a-8244179e7bd1/Journaling+prompt+getting+unstuck Mindset - Getting Unstuck - What areas of my life do I feel held back in? Example 1: My job, I feel capable of more but I am too embarrassed to ask for a pay rise, and I don’t feel good enough to apply for a higher position even though I pretty much do the same work. Example 2: I want to travel more but I never have enough money and it’s hard to get the time off work. Example 3: I want to start my own business but I don’t know where to start. Don’t over think this question, write whatever comes to mind first and then think a little more on it as you go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/0eb27f29-663c-4ab8-93de-871dd1a092af/journaling+prompt+getting+unstuck Mindset - Getting Unstuck - What negative beliefs do I have about those thoughts? Example 1: My manager will think I am rude for asking. I won’t get the higher position because I am not good enough. Stuck points: Not feeling good enough or worthy enough. Example 2: I never have enough money, I can’t save because I don’t earn enough. Stuck points: I can’t save. I will never have enough money. Example 3: I don’t know where to start, it’s too confusing and I will never figure it out. Stuck points: I’m not smart enough to understand. I will never make it happen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/19466c0d-0e9f-49c0-8365-446f8aeebe31/stuck+in+my+head Mindset - Getting Unstuck - Reprogramming Thoughts In order to take the steps to changing your life and getting unstuck you must believe you are worthy and capable of the change. And believe me, you totally are! Use those thoughts and stuck points you have identified and work at rewording them. For example: Instead of saying to yourself; I can’t save, I will never have any money to go on holiday. Replace it with; I save my money and spend within my means so I can afford a holiday. You don’t need to change it completely but take out the “I can’t attitude” and the roadblocks because if you repeatedly tell yourself you can’t you will subconsciously believe you can’t meaning you can’t… see the problem. Change the way you speak to yourself. So it might be difficult to save but there are steps you can take to solve that problem but you must first believe and accept you can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/50f898fc-aa66-47a3-ab98-8d94cdc48f7a/feeling+stuck+and+getting+unstuck Mindset - Getting Unstuck - Take Action Now let’s think about what can you change and what needs to change. What small step can you take today to progress towards your goal, new life, or whatever it may be your wanting to get unstuck from? You’re already on the right track simply by reading this and taking the time to think about what it is you want and what is currently stopping you from getting there. If like I was, you are feeling lost, and stuck in the daily grind and hamster wheel that is society think about what actions you can now take to make the change. Apply for a new job, leave a dead-end relationship, or open a new savings account.

Then re-read it and write a letter in response. Acknowledge and accept your feelings, reassure yourself, and remember to be kind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62054a5031d1f3092fbcbd8d/1707071637975-3VUYAM452XDFTGO38A13/image-asset.jpeg Mindset - Learning to let go - Release Your Emotions Whether it’s anger, sadness, betrayal, or a mix of many, you can learn to accept and put the thoughts out of your mind but if you don’t feel into and release all the emotions that have built up you will never truly let go.
