The Weight Loss Myth Revealed

August 25, 2009

Hi All,

Thank you all for your questions, opinions and enthusiasm. You have enriched my life and you are what has kept my passion alive for 30 years. I don’t know what bought you to my site but if you are someone with a passion for learning everything you can about living a long, healthy and happy life I would love to share with you the things I have observed and learned on my journey so far and as I continue on my path.

If you live anywhere in the western world I’m sure at some time in your life you have ridden the diet/exercise roller coaster! Without exaggeration it is an epidemic in our society and no one is immune. These days you can’t turn on the TV or pick up a magazine without being confronted by yet another advertisement for the latest weight loss/detox/tummy flattening/thigh shrinking/anti-ageing miracle pill/potion or exercise machine/.

I don’t know about you but I can’t take it anymore….I have spent most of my working life picking up the shattered pieces of people who have been sucked in and spat out by unscrupulous marketers and profiteers. My question is who counts the cost?????

Almost every single one of these products makes promises it can’t possibly deliver on because it’s just not possible. As a result it’s not too long before you are left feeling like a failure because once again you have regained even more weight. Not only is this disastrous for your health but even worse for your self esteem! Please let me help you to STOP BEING A CONSUMER SUCKER!!!!

I’ll start by dispelling just a few of the myths of modern advertising for you:

You cannot lose weight by using a nutrient deficient meal replacement shake without affecting your metabolism and compromising your health.

You cannot lose weight and get fabulous abs, thighs or any other body part from just using exercise equipment that targets a specific area.

You cannot effectively detox your body by going on a product based massive short term detox.

PLEASE PUT YOUR CREDIT CARD AWAY, GET OUT YOUR COMMON SENSE AND ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION. ARE YOU READY TO GIVE UP YOUR “QUICK FIX ADDICTION” AND LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY?

If your answer is yes, then you have come to the right place. I am not here to tell you what to do but rather to provide you with my opinion, an opinion developed over 30years by studying the work of the world’s foremost authorities from naturopaths to medical doctors and scientists and then applying that information to my own life and the lives of those I have coached.

I have also bought together some of the amazing people I currently work with who also want to share their expertise with you.

Chat again soon

Josie :-)

Ps If you have a story or anything you would like to share that might inspire someone else please leave a comment below…cheers!

OXYGEN & BREATHING-THE MOST ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT FOR CREATING ENERGY & HEALTH

August 18, 2009

If you want to bound out of bed and have limitless energy all day long the first thing you need to do is get more oxygen into your cells. Oxygen is the source of all energy in the body and energy is what drives every bodily function so it’s important to make sure you are getting a good constant supply from all sources.

Here are the three most essential things you need to do to maintain optimal oxygen levels in your body for good health.

1.      Breathing exercises can help with everything from increasing lung capacity to relieving stress. Most human beings are shallow breathers so it is essential to learn to breath deeply and effectively.

2.     Physical exercises help develop your lung capacity and help deliver oxygen around the body.

3.    There are many foods you can include in your diet that actually oxygenate your cells.

So the number one thing to do to increase your energy and health is… Remember to Breathe

Emotional Fitness & Well-Being

August 17, 2009

Would you agree that without a strong enough reason for doing something it’s probably not going to get done? This is the essence of emotional fitness. Unless you are emotionally equipped you will find it hard if not impossible to be successful in any area of your life. I believe it is the foundation for everything we experience.

Almost every person I have ever coached came to me because they had reached a point in their life where they knew something had to change. They all wanted this thing really badly but had figured out that just wanting something hadn’t actually worked for them since back in the day when they still believed in Santa Claus.

In my early years as a coach I couldn’t understand why some of  the people I coached excelled and changed their lives forever while others, no matter how hard I tried, just never got there. How could people with the same desire and being offered the same level of care and attention have such different experiences?

I am not a trained scholar and have no letters after my name, I have always prefered my life lessons and experience to come from taking a broader, less rigid view of things. I don’t believe there is ever just one right answer or one right way of doing something, so for the last 30 years I have studied human behaviour from every perspective I could find and these are my observations.

Whether it comes from an intellectual or spiritual base the underlying message seems to be the same. Are you ready.. here it comes.. the answers to all life’s challenges….

Your mind is the most under-rated, untapped, undervalued, powerful resource available to you on this planet. Did I say my guidance was going to be simple? Mmmm….

Right now you might be wondering, “How on earth can I access my minds full potential?” Thankfully once again the answer is simple and all seem to agree…they just have different methods of delivering what once again appears to me to be the same message.

Every moment of every day we are making choices about absolutely everything and the decisions we make as a result of those choices is what we act upon. Those actions then create the circumstances of our future.

The more fully we learn to understand and appreciate the power this actually gives us over our lives the more excited we become about the idea that we can deliberately design our future experiences. If in this moment you are feeling more overwhelmed than excited, don’t worry there is of course a simple way to sort through the vast variety of choices life offers you.

In every moment that you are faced with a choice just ask yourself this question,

“How am I really feeling right now?”

By constantly asking yourself how you are really feeling about everything that is on your mind you will start to train your brain to get more and more clarity about what you want and what you don’t want. There are no rules, no right or wrong answers, no appropriate or inappropriate responses. This is all about you discovering what authentically feels good to you without fear of other peoples opinions.

An example of what I mean by this is to think about all the times you have done something because you thought it was ‘the right thing to do’. Even though it didn’t feel good to you, you went ahead and did it anyway only to regret having done it later on.

By taking action on things that feel good to you instead of acting from a place of conditioned response you will start to feel more in control of your life and have a greater sense of personal freedom. You will be more pumped up, enthusiastic and motivated about everything you are doing. This choice alone will make your life more fun and enjoyable. You will start to find purpose in everything you do which will give you the massive reason you need to get whatever it is you want.

Of course, I am only giving you the basics and it can be greatly expanded upon from here. The process is simple but it does require you to manage and monitor your thoughts. You are creating thoughts all day long and and it is just as easy to look for hopeful, happy thoughts that let you enjoy each day of your life as it is to look for pessimistic ones that make you feel angry, frustrated and overwhelmed and diminish your health and happiness.

Emotional Fitness is currently one of my favourite areas of coaching. If you are interested in knowing more about my  coaching program please email me on the contact us page.
