This blog has been set up because I believe in what I do. 

I’ve set it up because I care about your health & your happiness.

I care because I know what it feels like to be unhealthy and unhappy and when you’re in this state you also feel like know one cares. Well I care and I believe I can make a difference.

Here is what I genuinely want for you:

I want you to feel well, really well, all the time.

I want you know what you need when you need it and I want you to be able to either get it yourself or ask someone to help you get it.

I want you to treasure your body & mind and therefore be committed to behaviours which support this.

I want you to feel confident about who you are and how you look so that you don’t waste precious time worrying about it. Confidence also helps to steer you in the direction you most desire, I want this for you too.

I want you to truly accept the fact that ‘everyone is different’ and to build the compassion and tolerance necessary to live by this.

I want you to focus on and be grateful for what you today have whilst you work towards attaining your desires for the future.

I want you to have the courage to love and be loved.

I want you to believe in yourself and your visions and to never stop moving forward.

I want you smile a lot and laugh as often as possible.

I want you to love living your life.

Finally, I want you to know that I am here for you, I’m here to support you in anyway I can so please, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Love,

Sometimes when people come to see me for Smiler Sessions (health & happiness mentoring/life coaching/rocket under arse kind of stuff) they spill the beans about their lifestyle and then burst in to tears. It’s a common occurrence and it’s because they are sad and mad at themselves for getting in to the state they’re in.  I usually shed a tear too then we get on with making things better and I always start with this: be your best friend.

We all want best friends who will keep us on the straight and narrow, who will guide us through tricky sitautions and tell us that we don’t need that second piece of cake/bottle of wine. This is fine but they are  not with us all the time plus it’s really not their job to keep our behaviour, habits and morals in check, it’s ours. After all, they too have issues to address and monitor.

We all need to be our own best friend first and treat ourselves with love and respect everyday.

We need to be the one to nurture our health.

We need to be the one to encourage us to stay on course with our visions.

We need to be the one to pull us up if we say something unpleasant and to congratulate us when we achieve something, small or big.

We need to be proud of everything we do, including the lessons we learn when we make mistakes.

We need to be the one who is responsible for meeting our needs on every level – even if that means asking for help.

Life is unpredictable. It is amazing and challenging and to live it with gusto you (and me and everyone in the world) require the unwavering support of someone and I believe you are the best person to rely on in this regard.  I’m not saying that you’re best friend/spouse can’t be there for you, of course they can and how wonderful it is to have them, what I am saying is that they can’t be everywhere all the time for you – it’s just not realistic OR fair.

You are only person who can ensure all your needs are met, no one else can do that for you so take the lead today and book a 90 minute massage (or tropical island holiday) because that’s what any ‘best friend’ would do for you right!!?

Enjoy!

Have I mentioned I used to be a 90 kilo, 20 ciggies per day whingeing pessimist?

It’s true, I was and the thing I remember most about being that way was how little energy I had – physically, mentally and emotionally. I couldn’t do anything physical for very long, I couldn’t concentrate for very long and I boy was I easily stressed. I was never very enthusiastic about anything because everything seemed a bit too much effort and I cried a lot because, well, I was bloody miserable!

These days I’m the complete opposite and it’s due to 3 things:

1. Daily exercise

2. Healthy eating

3. Thinking good things

NOTE: I am far from an obsessed health nut nor am I a self righteous reformed smoker

By making small contributions to my health and well being on a daily basis means I have abundant energy to do everything I need to do plus take on a few challenges to keep life interesting. I enjoy my work and seldom feel over burdened by it. I have a good social life which occasionally renders me hung over from over indulgence in both alcohol and food. I have (most days) good tolerance levels to help me navigate my way forward as a full time single parent PLUS I have the time, energy and courage to embrace a love relationship with my gorgeous new beau, Bobby.

All of this happens because I have the energy and attitude to make it happen.

It happens because my health is my priority.

It happens with great ease and plenty of smiles because I highly value the benefits – I love life!

Want more energy to live and love your life?

Do the daily 3.

Love,

Smiler

How flexible are you?

Are you flexible enough to touch your toes?

Are you flexible enough to adapt when plans change?

Are you flexible enough to peel your spine up like a cobra?

Are you flexible enough to accept someone elses opinion or ideas?

Are you flexible enough to ‘make do’ when your usual preferences are unavailable?

Are you flexible enough to try a new activity and THEN form an opinion?

Are you flexible enough to bend your arm around your back & touch your shoulder blades?

Are you flexible enough to manage the inevitable changes life brings?

Hopefully by answering these questions you will realise that flexibility is an extremely valuable thing to work on – physically & mentally.

Stay flexible: exercise, eat well and think good things!

Love,

Smiler
