Rainbow Blessing

Over the last couple of days, the song “Somewhere over the rainbow” kept coming to my mind.

It Brought to my attention the saying, “you will always find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” and as a little girl I had the belief that I would find that pot of Gold.

However, as I have gotten older, I have come to realise that the Gold or the blessings are in the middle of the rainbow.

When we search outside of ourselves or we are busy looking too far ahead, it distracts us from being truly PRESENT and we miss what is right in front of us or inside us.

When we are truly present, we have gratitude in the now and are constantly aware of what our Subconscious mind is saying to us about us.

This enables us to be fully ENGAGED to our emotions and in doing so we are AWAKENED to our AUTHENTIC self. It’s here that dreams begin to become a reality as you work out the true desires of your heart.

Your Flow

So I want us to think about what it means to be in FLOW.

When we are in flow we are CREATIVE beings. We are co-creating our external reality by deeply and authentically connecting with our internal reality. Using our mind and emotions as our Satellite Navigation System.

When we are out of flow it feels uncomfortable or a Dis-ease. This is our body’s way of trying to realign us and keep us on the right road for our individual destiny.

To be in Flow means you feel protected and secure and are not carried away by negative external factors. Your emotions do not control you. You control them.

You are firm, fixed and focused and will know the right thing to do or say and your timing will be perfect. When you’re in flow, your Intuition is 100% accurate and you will learn to consistently trust its guidance. This could be described as a still small voice or your Gut feeling.

When you’re in FULL FLOW you believe and feel that you have unlimited favour and everything you touch feels like a blessing from above. This is where constant gratitude compliments your daily existence.

Frequency

I like to imagine a Radio when thinking about frequency. A great example of being tuned into the wrong frequency is when you get a mix of two different sounds but neither is clear.

When we are tuned directly into our frequency there is no distortion. You can hear loud and clear what your life’s purpose is. You will have a heightened sense of awareness and as you meet people on a daily basis, you will see clearly what the connection for purpose is and have the courage to follow through.

When we are tuned into the wrong frequency our lives can become wis-hey was-hey, we can say one thing but do another. We feel we are always second guessing. This is dangerous as the wrong Chanel can sound like this “who do you think you are” “you will never be like them” “you will never be good enough”. This is the frequency of Fear and doubt as a-pose to love and acceptance.

When you are in FLOW and tuned into who you really are, your path will be straight and you will feel like a beacon is lighting the way, especially for you. There is never any second guessing or procrastinating. You are constantly TUNED in and TURNED on. You feel at total EASE with every day and are excited and expectant for all that is on its way to you.

When you haven’t found your true frequency you will know because you will be DESPERATELY seeking to tune in on someone else’s Chanel. The problem is it will always feel and sound foreign. Your Chanel has been pre-destined and only you will know when you are walking in true authentic power. After all we are energy and when you are plugged in you will feel POWERFUL.

Freedom

The evidence, of living a life in constant flow and frequency is daily events and happenings all compliment your dreams and hearts desires. As a result it feels like it’s getting closer and clearer everyday. This is powerful and gratitude is the language of love that brings more of what we are looking for. As whatever you focus on expands or draws closer.

It’s so important that you are not just living by chance. Using the mantra “what will be, will be” learn to set your ATTENTION on your true INTENTION (Growth, Abundance, financial freedom to name but a few).

To be free is to let your light shine as when you do this you automatically give others the permission to do the same. Dare to dream big. Have the faith to believe something not yet seen but hoped for. Be the change that you want to see happen. For you hold the reigns that draw your destiny and dreams closer to you and all you were created to do and be.

Overcoming Resistance to Change

Do you need to overcome resistance to change?

It may be a job you need to change, a relationship, a place you live, elements of your personality or habits.

The dictionary’s definition of resistance is “ The refusal to accept or comply with something”

I personally have learned that the thing I resisted the most, was the thing I need to start doing, to get results.

A couple of examples of this include eating healthy, wholesome foods and running. As a personal Trainer you would think that the above would come easy and be a no brainer. But for a season all I wanted to do was eat the opposite of healthy food and despised the thought of running.

One day I decided to put into practice my belief that we resist the things we need the most and make a note of the results I got.

I started by creating a healthy, nutritious menu that was low in simple carbohydrates and sugars and high in Protein and healthy fats. The results were astonishing within three days I felt amazing. To quantify this I had clarity in my thinking and emotional stability. It was almost like a veil had been lifted. I could see the world clearer and it looked beautiful.

Another benefit was that I felt more motivated to move. So with this new found energy I decided to go running and to my utter surprise I really enjoyed it. I started listening to audio books such as The power of the subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The Code to the Extraordinary Mind by Vishen Lakhiani.

As I listened to these life changing books, I began to get even more clarity in my thinking which lead to business ideas and the enthusiasm to follow them up.

The motto of the story is this, what are you resisting? Could it be the thing that you need to do to get a break through?

I could not imagine what my life would look like today if I had not committed to try the things I was resisting. I suspect I would not have the busy Personal Training Practice that I have today and my Life coaching clients would not get the best from me if I didn’t have the clarity and knowledge that I have gained whilst running and eating healthy.

The key in all of this is, ask yourself, what is it I am fighting against?

Then rather than resist it, face it head on with the intention of getting a break through.

In conclusion to the above, another benefit to resistance training is you become stronger, leaner and a force to be reckoned with.

You are powerful and have great potential but the distance you travel will be determined by the motivation to challenge all you have been resisting.

Lose Weight Without Dieting

I may have said this before and I will say it again… DO NOT DIET.

I will help you Lose Weight Without Dieting. It really does not need to be crazy difficult. Just some small changes will help.

Going on some special cabbage or potato diet is not doing you any good. You may lose weight quickly, that’s because you have drastically reduced your calorie intake. But you will regain the weight if you do not change your long term eating habits.

Going Through The Change.

The thing you need to be doing is make some small changes that will bring a long term gain.

So, what changes?

Take a look at what you already eat for a start. Record what you eat, either a mental note or good old paper and pen.

The foods you really need to eat are a protein source such as Meat; chicken, beef, pork, lamb, Beans & lentils; Haricot, broad, kidney, or you could try Quorn.

Carbohydrate Source such as Vegetables, fruit, wholemeal pasta and brown rice. Eat more vegetables than the other carbohydrate sources as they are lower in calories and high in fibre so they will keep you feeling full and you will not eat too many calories.

Drinking Water is vital for your body to function correctly. If you can’t drink plain water, try flavouring water but stay away from all soda drinks.

What Not To Eat.

They are foods that you need. Looking at your list, do you eat foods that you don’t need?

Do you eat or drink the following…

Crisps
Biscuits
Chocolate
Drinking Chocolate
Coca Cola, lemonade (even “diet” is bad news)
High sugar cereals
Take out pizza, chips and burgers

The list above are foods that you need to cut out of your diet. Keep Calm, you don’t need to get rid of everything at once.

What I am suggesting is to lose weight without dieting, you gradually cut items from your diet. It all depends on what item you really like to eat and would struggle not eating. If your favourite high sugar food are biscuits and you normally eat a packet every day then try eating less, like half a pack a day or buying a smaller pack of biscuits.

If you marry this with some more movement (exercise, gardening, sports) in your lifestyle you will lose weight without dieting.

Keep up the momentum.

Pick a time period of 1 or 2 weeks and decide what steps you will take to reduce high calorie, sugary foods. Then at the same time increase your movement gradually.

Keep this process going at a pace that suits you. The gradual changes will do great for your body and mind and you will feel like you are not depriving yourself.

You Can’t Just Change Lifetime Habits Overnight.

Brace yourself for long term results. To lose weight without dieting is the best way but will take a while to get to your desired goal whether you have a few stone to lose or just a couple of pounds. It has taken a lifetime of habits that you are trying to break.

Just stick at it. You will start to feel better.

How Many Calories Should I Be Eating

The only way to control your weight is to monitor your calorie intake and the amount of energy/calories you burn from activity.

Your age, height, weight and activity levels all determine how many calories you should consume during each day.

If you want to lose weight, then all you have to do is one of three things.

Eat the same amount of food but increase your activity levels.
Keep your activity level the same but decrease your calorie intake.
Do both. Increase activity and decrease calorie intake for maximum weight loss effectiveness.

Cutting calories can be easy enough if you take it gradually. Use the Calorie Calculator from Health Line to determine how many calories you need to either maintain weight or lose weight.

At first try just reducing your calories by 200 calories per day and see how you feel. If you can manage, reduce your calories closer to the recommended amount for you to lose weight according to the Calorie Calculator.

Remember to keep checking the Calorie Calculator as you lose weight as your calorie intake will change according to your new stats and if you increase your activity levels.

Take a look at my Healthy Recipes to help you with your calorie intake efforts.

Mental Health – My Vulnerable Story

Most people have experience with mental health issues.

My experience is with my Husband. He has suffered with depression and anxiety for many years.

Thankfully, with help and support, he is managing well.

A major part of his mental health improvements have been reducing stress. We as a family have Temple Spa to thank for this as working with Temple Spa has meant that I can earn enough to make sure that my husband doesn’t have to have a paid job.

He works with me on my website and admin and he takes care of the kids and the home. In his words “it is the dream job and very rewarding”.

Richard and I are living the dream.

It isn’t plain sailing by any means but we have both learnt how to manage our lives a bit better and we keep improving.

Please watch my video on this page. It is in conjunction with a Temple Spa offer where Temple Spa will donate £6 for every Repose Collection sold to Mind.

Online Personal Training & Nutrition

It can be quite difficult sometimes to get some exercise. Getting to the gym or my personal training studio can be a struggle at times if you lead a busy lifestyle. Work, kids, time with the husband/wife, relaxing, learning, all take up time.

We have been looking at the possibility of using an app to accommodate such difficulties. Not only will the app provide tailored exercise programmes that suit your likes and environment but we will be able to share with you nutrition that will suit you too.

You can stay in contact via the inbuilt messaging service and you can keep Jen updated with progress with your measurements and photo’s.

We will have varying membership options for this online Personal Training Service to help people in different circumstances. We will then keep adapting the packages to suit as time goes by.

We have the app almost ready to go. There are a few things that we need to learn and a some packages to set up so we think it will be ready in the next couple of weeks.

We will have the information on the front page of the website when it is all ready for you to try.

How Much Water Do I Need to Drink

Knowing how much water I need to drink in a day is vital for the body to function at it’s very best.

As our bodies are made up of around 60% of our bodies composition it is quite clear that we need water for our bodies to survive, perform and repair.

Drinking Water benefits;

Skin condition
Athletic performance
protects the bowel from bacteria and cancer
Aids weight loss and management

I list only a few benefits but as you can see it is vital.

But the real question is, are we drinking enough water?

Are You Drinking Enough Water?

I need to point out that there is no definitive answer to how much water our bodies need each day. There are so many factors to consider.

Our diets and varying activity levels play a huge part in the consumption of water in our diet.

Sugar
Salt
Caffeine
Alcohol levels

All influence fluid balance in some way. Even food contributes somewhat to overall cellular hydration levels.

There are other additional factors that may change the levels of water needed include:

environmental temperature
amount of lean muscle mass
intensity and type of exercise

All of these factors must be considered when determining the hydration needs of any individual. Several different health professionals recommend that water intake should be guided by drinking half of the body weight in pounds in fluid ounces of water e.g.

a 150lb person should drink 75 fluid ounces of water.

This system is only intended to provide a basic guideline, but at least provides a starting point.

The table below provides a summary of suggested water intakes for different body weights.

Body weight (kg)	Estimated daily water intake (litres)
55kg	1.70
60kg	1.85
65kg	2.00
70kg	2.15
75kg	2.30
80kg	2.45
85kg	2.60
90kg	2.75
95kg	2.90
100kg	3.05
