More Episodes

I'm back after taking a much needed break from the podcast!

But, I returned from my 3 week trip to Italy and London and felt quite different to how I'd normally feel after travelling...

Whilst I felt re-energised from visiting such amazing spots and doing the least amount of work I have EVER done on a holiday, I ended the trip feeling bloated, puffy and heavier. This made it harder for me to feel the same level of motivation that I had for exercise pre the trip. I've also found it so hard to get that creative spark back in me that I usually have (most weeks) for work.

In this episode, I share how and why my eating and drinking habits changed a little bit compared to my usual travels (where I've worked out my healthy balance pretty well & normally return feeling pretty good) and my thoughts on why it's been harder to feel creative for work.

I also offer tips, of course, throughout this podcast on:

How to get your motivation and mojo back if you've let any healthy habits slip after a holiday or just a period of zero motivation
How to build your healthy habits back up again AND how to ensure they don't fall away again
Why it's a GOOD thing to feel crap sometimes from eating foods that you don't normally eat

I think I jump around quite a bit in this epiode because I just had so many thoughts to share, but I really hope that my reflection helps you see that I too am human and the occasional lows in your motivation is normal. I also hope that it encourages you to constanty reflect on WHY you're feeling and acting in certain ways, because without reflection, you can't figure out what changes you need to make in your life! Reaching your goals is ALWAYS about trying new things, failing, getting back up again and learning from past experiences.
