Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin.
Beginning makes the conditions perfect.

Summer holidays are a great time for making New Years resolutions as you relax on the beach with plenty of time to enjoy your friends and family. However, often you can get back into work and slip into your old patterns of constantly being busy and rushed. Slowly the idea of change seems all to hard in the reality of real life.
So here is a little New Years challenge to check in on your mental and physcial wellbeing and make a consious note of how well you are tracking.
Try to become aware of what thoughts are holding you back and what action you need to take to get yourself back on track. Starting in one area that you want to work on and making an easy first step is a great way to get started. Small daily steps can help you create the long term outcomes you are looking for.
Focusing on an outcome rather than a goal can help you to get motivate and keep you on track. What behaviour do you need to change to get the outcome you are looking for?
Take a moment to consider the following checklist.
Sleep, nutrition and exercise all contribute to your mental wellbeing and help support you to be at your best. If you aren't sleeping well this can often be a catalysis for poor eating habits and lack of motivation to exercise, which can lead to poor mental wellbeing, The irony is that good nutriiton and exercise will both help you to relax, unwind and sleep. They will also help support and improve your mental health. Your thoughts and your self talk can create a mindset that can either de-motivate or motivate you to get the outcomes you are looking for.
Challenge yourself to take some action that feels right, is in tune with your current energy levels and is working toward the outcomes you are looking for. There is no right or wrong place to start.
Wishing you Health & Happiness

Take a moment to consider the following checklist.
- Am I sleeping well most of the time and waking up feeling refreshed? If not, what is keeping me awake? What is the first step I can take today to resolve my sleeping issue?
- How am I tracking with my healthy eating? What is one thing I can do today to nourish myself with nutrition?
- How long have I been sitting? Am I moving regularly throughout my day? What exercise can I do today that will suit my circumstances and my energy levels?
- Am I over scheduling myself and creating busyness? What are my priorities and what can I let go of today?
- Am I scheduling in time for myself and enjoying the thing I love to do? What small thing can I do for myself that I will enjoy?
- Am I actively relaxing at some point in my day? What can I do to relax?
- Am I feeling supported? Who can I ask for help?
- Are my thoughts postive or negative toward myself and others? What and who am I grateful for today? What is going well for me?
