You’ve heard people say you cannot pour from an empty cup, and it’s true. By looking after yourself, by putting yourself on your list of priorities, you are not being selfish, in fact, you are being selfless. Everything else and everyone else benefits when you look after yourself. So, not only should you start taking care of yourself like you would a friend, colleague or family member, but you NEED to. If you want to start thriving in your career or business you must be well. If you want to be there for your family, you must be well. You are useless to your work and your loved ones if…

Bounce Back From Burnout With Food – A How to Guide
Here’s a controversial statement from a health coach – your diet cannot solve your problems. However, when you put together a healthy diet with positive lifestyle, movement and stress management techniques, it sure as hell can make all the difference, in fact, it elevates the others. Did you know that every moment you spend in a stressful state you are using up valuable nutrients that your body needs in order to function properly? Particularly B vitamins, which are the energy vitamins. “Chronic stress can affect the body’s use of calories and nutrients in various ways. It raises the body’s metabolic needs and increases the use and excretion of many nutrients.…

The Perfect 3pm Slump Snack For Busy Professionals
Millionaire’s shortbread is one of my favourite sweet treats, but the ones we buy in the shops are SO full of refined white sugar and refined white flour. Here’s a more wholesome recipe, using natural sweetness from dates and jaggery (available in eastern food shops) and gram flour which is naturally gluten free. Thanks to the protein from the gram flour and the good fats from the ghee, and the fact that cardamom aids digestion these will give you more sustained energy and brain fuel then that chocolate bar you usually have at this time. Cardamom Millionaires With Gram ShortbreadShortbread:– 150g gram flour– Seeds of 6 cardamom pods (ground, or…

Work With me – Recover From Burnout Fatigue Without Compromising on Time
I help time poor women in business take control of their diet and lifestyle so they can thrive in work and in life. If this sounds like you keep reading. I came to study health and nutrition after suffering from burnout from my first business which I ran for 2 years. During these years I had a part-time job where I worked 35 hours a week, and used my spare time to work on my business. This meant that every hour of every day I was working. I was so passionate about my business at the time that it was all I did, I stopped socialising with friends, I hardly…

Finding it Hard to Concentrate? Your Diet Could be the Reason Why
When you don’t nourish and nurture yourself you starve your body of essential nutrients that you need in order for you to function properly every day. Without these essential nutrients your cells cannot thrive, and you need your cells to be in peak condition for your energy levels and for your brain to function. Before I studied nutrition and health and became a coach I was someone who could work from dusk ’til dawn, grabbing some sort of food on the go, denying myself snacks “to be healthy” and forgetting to drink water. It’s no wonder I was often slow to do my work, feeling resentful and frustrated all the…

Investing in Your Health is Easier Than You Think – Here’s Why You Should
Are you scared of spending money on yourself? We often talk ourselves out of investing in our health and wellbeing because we tell ourselves we don’t have the money. But a lot of the time it’s not that, it’s actually because we are scared of investing in ourselves, we don’t think we are worth it. We don’t make our health a priority. We tell ourselves we don’t have the money, and yet we buy things that give us instant highs like shopping online for clothes that we can’t even wear out at the moment, or we save the money in our bank accounts, we like knowing that it’s there just…

Do You Love Yourself? It Could Help You to Recover from Burnout if You do
“You must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first.” Unknown I saw this quote earlier today and it made me think, we really must learn to love ourselves for all that we are, flaws and all, because at the end of the day we cannot get away from ourselves can we? So we might as well think nice things about ourselves then horrible ones. The negative thoughts are a total waste of energy. And no one needs to know, if you’re shy, you don’t have to say the nice things about yourself to other people. I believe most of us were brought up in a society…

Burnt Out? Perfectionism Could be Holding You Back from Thriving
“It’s not all or nothing, it’s about progress over perfection.” Will Bulsiewics Hands up if you’re a perfectionist! As a typical Virgo I struggle with this notion every day, my natural instinct is to have everything in my life “perfect”. But this is why I love this quote so much, and I remind myself of it every day. When we are self-employed we try our very best to make everything in our business perfect, we expect to have success overnight, because that’s what everyone else achieves right? “If I want something done right I have to do it myself” When we work for someone else we try our very best…
