Taming your Pocket Pest
If I told you that there was something in you life that caused you a huge amount of stress every day, would you want to deal with it? What if I told you that it makes you feel shit about yourself by presenting impossible ideals to live up to, wastes hours of your time a day, affects your sleep & stops you being present with your loved ones? That it robs you of your focus, concentration, creativity & productivity. It would be a no-brainer to deal with it right? But we don't. I'm talking about that pocket-sized stress pest - your phone. I know you've just read that sentence, felt a...
Are you food obsessed?
I had an interesting chat with one of my clients recently. She's noticed that since all this virus fuckery kicked off she's obsessing about food even more. Using it as a reward, a distraction, something to look forward to, an outlet for feeling restricted in other areas such as not being allowed to go where you want/see who you want 😔 Now this is a super smart business woman running a 6 figure business.....all the logic when it comes to business decisions and getting shit done....completely ruled by emotions when it comes to food. Is this unusual right now (or in fact at any time)? No. But...
Do You Need A Break From Your Brain?
I know I do sometimes 🤯 It’s easy to find something to be stressed about these days - stress caused by work, health, relationships, or a combination of all of them. At least those things SEEM to be the cause. But are they REALLY the root cause, or is there something else going on here? Around 70% of business owners report having mental health issues at some stage during running their business, which is pretty fucking shocking when you think about it. But, it’s a bit like a chicken and egg situation. Does running your own business and being an...
7 Ways to stay healthy while working
Back in 2013 I was working in an office, managing IT Projects. I found it pretty stressful. I was working long hours, eating in the canteen, then going home and thinking about work all evening. Worry-free sleep was a luxury. I decided I wanted to take back control of my declining health before it got any worse, so like many people, I embarked on a healthy eating and exercise regime. My new habits certainly raised some eyebrows in the office. Bowling up to work with three or four Tupperwares full of food (which took up all the space in the communal fridge!)Refusing to be part of the cake...
What is ‘self-love’?
Some confessions. My name is Hayley and I am a Health Strategist. But I don’t use activated charcoal, green tea powder, drink chaga mushroom lattes and I hate the term ‘superfoods’. I hate fish (one of the ‘healthiest’ foods out there). I sometimes use sauce from a jar because sometimes I’m fucking lazy. I don’t always do my food prep on a Sunday. Sometimes I’m running around on a Monday morning boiling emergency eggs and cursing myself for watching that extra Netflix episode. The truth is I’m more Deliciously Stella than Deliciously Ella and I’m totally OK with that...
Food Tracking – Why Should You Bother?
Do you ‘eat clean’? 🙄 Smoothie bowls, superfoods and avocado toast all day right? Maybe you’re an avid CrossFitter, 7 WOD’s a week (what’s a rest day), plus interval training and Barbell Club. Or training for a marathon, racking up the miles and ‘fuelling’ yourself with aaalll the carbs because your body ‘needs’ it. So why do you still have excess fat? Because you don’t know where you’re going wrong – that’s why. Acceptance around what you eat is important, and the first step is knowledge and awareness of what’s in the food you’re eating. That way you’re empowered to make a decision about...
Diets Are Bullshit
Do you think you’re shit at dieting? We’ve all been through the cycle – got on the bandwagon with the latest diet fad or joined a slimming club. We follow the rules and restrictions religiously for two or three weeks and start to see some results. We are winning at life – everything’s going well! But then it starts to get harder – we’re craving those foods we’re not allowed and having dreams about running through the streets chasing a giant block of cheese. (No? Just me then?). Maybe you reach your goal weight & think you can stop the diet and go back to what you...
