Npowerment

Soooo what if I told you you’re not lazy, you’re just avoiding the feeling that comes with doing the ‘thing’

Your brain is basically wired to move away from discomfort

so when something feels overwhelming, scary, uncertain or like you might fail…

you avoid it, naturally

and the second you avoid it, you feel a little bit of relief

⬆️ but that relief teaches your brain: “good decision!! let’s do that again :)”

and suddenly the email gets left
the gym gets skipped (again)
the difficult conversation gets pushed back
the thing you KNOW you need to do gets bigger in your head

so how do we break the cycle?? And become HER (as we coaches usually say)

1. make the task feel stupidly small
don’t “do the work” right away → open the laptop and set the scene

2. use the 5 minute rule
tell yourself you only have to do 5 minutes, starting is the hardest bit

3. stop waiting to feel ready - I see this a lot!
action often comes BEFORE motivation

4. regulate, then move
take a few slow breaths, unclench your body + remind yourself “this feels uncomfortable, but I’m safe”

5. celebrate the action!!
your brain needs evidence that doing hard things = something you can handle

6. remember how great it’s going to feel after
doing hard things is sooooo rewarding

One thing I know is don’t overcome avoidance by thinking your way out of it!

you teach your brain, through tiny actions, that discomfort is survivable

And you can absolutely be the women you want to be, one little choice at a time :)

So let it be known I am the queeeeen of avoidance - so much so I feel I am the expert

This story may surprise you its not my fun 10 top tips of how to get motivated

It’s “HI I was at rock bottom and movement literally saved the day”

But it felt important to share this way because I know the idea of the movement feels the worst when you actually need it the most 🩵

All your important reminders are on the last slide # # #

August, say cheese 📸

Find me one woman who isn’t craving just fully being her weird little self, saying how she *really* feels and finding the people who will accept her for who she really is

It’s time to take your mask off and show the world how incredible you are as YOU 😮‍💨

I’ll go first

✨ Here’s my full skin care routine >>

Even with my very energetic dog 😅

Especially in nature with high vibe music!! Yum

My anxiety says no thanks 🫸🏼

Rob forgot to tell his face he was having a great time

Even in the darkest times

Sorry 😔

Every single day if I can!

What can’t women conquer together?!

The gym make me feel powerful I can’t lie… watch me lift these 10kg’s 😮‍💨

This was funnier than it looks

Life is for LIVINGGG 🥰 we don’t have to always do it for the step count

I think we forget how much we try to fit ourselves into little boxes

we decide who we are or who we think we should be

and then feel like we have to stay that way

the successful one
the healthy one
the sensible one
the fun one
the one who has it all together

but we are allowed to change our minds
to want different things
to be serious one day and silly the next
to have big dreams and also want a slow simple life

we don’t have to pick one version of ourselves and stick to it forever :))

because honestly I think that’s where so much of the magic is

in letting ourselves be ALL of it

we are the magic 🤍
