When you want something bad enough...

When you want something bad enough...

...you'll make it happen.

Hey Reader,

It's the first official day of holiday break - since the company I work for goes into 2 weeks of forced shut down over the holiday New Year period.

A part of me wants to chill out and relax, and the other part has a burning desire to use the time I have now - away from my 9 to 5 - to focus on my 5 to 9 coaching business.

I started with going for a walk to get sunlight into my eyes. It's what I advise my clients do each morning to regulate their circadian rhythm which optimises our overall health and well-being. More on that in an upcoming Insta reel.

By 10am (after 40 mins of walking around boring suburban Sydney neighbourhood) I had clocked 5k steps - 50% of the daily step count goal - WINNING.

Had my coffee and protein oats and then got straight to my to do list, there are about 20 items on the list - all supporting my online coaching business and the clients within the True Wellness Transformation Project.

I also revisited my goals for the business next year, and the thought not only excited but made me nervous, all in one breath.

BUT

The list, the to do list, having it written down so I know what inputs are required to support this vision and goal, is so satisfying and much more digestible.

Now I just need to put in the reps, tick off the list, and get my ass into gear.

No full time work, no excess mental load, no excuses.

This is also how I approach my health and wellness, I know the inputs and actions I need to take...

...all I need to do...is to action and improve on each rep over time.
​
It's what I also remind my clients as well. That it's not going to come overnight but if you stick with the required and suggested inputs, you will reach your goals.

And if you want something bad enough, you will make it happen.

I hope you have a most enjoyable break, if you too are on a break from work right now. And if you want something bad enough, I hope you put in the work to make it happen!

Hey Reader, Have you ever had blood tests done, been told everything looks “normal”…but you still feel tired, stuck, or off? You get told to keep an eye on it and test again next year.Yet in that time, you don’t feel 100%. This is not uncommon. But by the time you test again, the results may have now significantly changed. What once wasn’t a problem or something to monitor becomes something you’re suddenly told needs medication. I believe we should trust our female intuition.If you don’t feel...

Hello Reader, One of the biggest barriers I see isn’t a lack of discipline.It’s fear of committing to something before you feel completely ready. We tell ourselves:What if I can’t stick to it?What if I fail again?What if this becomes another thing I start and don’t finish? So instead of taking action, we stay in the comfort of thinking, researching, and waiting. We read the books.We listen to the podcasts.We follow the right people online.We tell ourselves we’re learning and improving. And on...

Hello Reader, My new years goal was to read more and I have been honouring that by reading at least 10 minutes each night. If you knew me when I was younger (in my teens), I was SO AGAINST reading. I used to think, if I have time (or tbh any interest) to read, I'd be better off reading a text book (the Asian mentality was to get ahead in the sciences..) Then in my 20s, I tried reading on the train during my commutes to work. The first few books I remember reading (which were suggestions by a...
