MY BOOKS

 

 

How easy is it to compare our lives to others? How many times do we scroll through Instagram and think ‘wow their life is so amazing’ . How often do we wish we had their body, their holiday, their success. . • I’m talking about this because I catch myself doing it too. And Comparing myself to other peoples ‘Instagram lives’ doesn’t make me happy. I have to remind myself that success isn’t measured by the number of followers you have. True fulfilment isn’t captured in one photo and happiness isn’t found in comparing yourself to others. • As much as I try to give you a realistic account, sometimes its more polished and sometimes not. I still retake videos and photos to get the right light or better angle. I’m not going to post about the mundane day to day stuff. But that’s what takes up 90% of my life and I’m sure it’s the same for most of the people on social media . • Arguments and daily struggles don’t get posted, doing household chores and paying the bills won’t get a mention but that’s REAL. Your relationships with your partner are REAL, the time spent with your family is REAL, what goes on in YOUR life is REAL. Just a little reminder to you all (and me)💕. So here’s my reality right now, stood in the pouring rain ☔️ 😜 . : : : #keepingitreal #rain #realvsfake #pinchofsalt #reallife #london #lifesupsanddowns #upsanddowns
Taken two minutes apart. Change the angle, change the pants, stand with good posture. How different can the same body look. Please remember that most of the time Instagram captures a moment (usually posed), then it’s probably filtered, then retouched. Real life isn’t posed or filtered and it hasn’t had 50 different retakes. Just a dose of Sunday morning reality 🤘👍😁 : : : : #beforevsafter #reality #reallife #keepingitreal #posed #beforeandafter #sundayvibes #sundaymotivation
How do you relax? I spoke about mental health today in my story. There is a lot of focus on the physical body but easy to neglect our mental health. Exercise is definitely a GREAT way to improve our state of mind but also it’s important to relax and give our heads some space. This could be space away from work, kids, relationships, just time for yourself. A walk in nature. Mediating. Reading. Sat quietly looking at a beautiful view. If you find it hard to find any time to do these things, then take three deep breaths. Take a moment out of your day, just stop, close your eyes and take three long deep breaths 💕 : : #lookafteryou #takecareofyourslef #mentalhealth #slowdown #relax
How does exercise make you feel? Do let me know!! A weights session always leaves me buzzing and feeling super strong from the inside out, I feel like I can cope with anything 💪. *Can I just remind my ladies out there that lifting weights WILL NOT BULK YOU UP. You might “bulk” up if you consume 4000 calories a day, spend 5 hours a day in the gym lifting VERY heavy weights plus take steroids. So it’s VERY unlikely that’s you. What weights WILL do is ✨ keep your body strong, ✨help increase your metabolism, ✨help you lose body fat,✨ reduce stress, ✨enhance your mood, ✨reduce risk of injury, improves posture. I could go on!! #staystrong : : : :#weightswontbulkyouup #nobulk #liftweights #womenwholift #motivationtuesday #exercisemakesmehappy #womenwholiftweights #bulkmyth
A very happy wet and muddy team 😁. Taken half way around yesterday’s @tough_mudder . I didn’t think being covered head to toe in mud could be so much fun. It’s totally liberating and we all felt like big kids again. . ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Our team ages ranged from 39-53. Just remember you are NEVER too old to try something new. Don’t put limits on yourself 💥 : : : : #teamfun #supporteachother #nevertooold #trysomethingnew #outofyourcomfortzone
I am SO proud of my team today, these ladies have never done anything like this before and I don’t think they imagined they ever would 😜 (a gentle hollyactive persuasion) But today we crawled, we climbed, we ran, we scrambled over 13 obstacles as a TEAM. We supported and encouraged each other every step of the way and I think I can speak for everyone to say it was amazing 😁 (they all want to do it again). Don’t let excuses like I’m too old or I’m not fit enough stop you. Is it fear talking? • Fear can stop us from trying new things and the unknown can be scary but when we challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones the rewards are huge. Especially when you have the support from the people around you. I LOVE the @tough_mudder pledge (last photo). It’s NOT a competition, it’s all about TEAM work 👍💕 : : : : #nevertooold #trysomethingnew #challengeyourself #comfortzone #toughmudder #teamwork #workingtogether #tryit
WHAT DOES YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT LOOK LIKE? Is it wrong that I’m happy to be in my PJs at 6pm?. I have to say I LOVE it 😁. Face mask, a movie and an early night for me. Off to do a @tough_mudder tomorrow with some of my clients. Ha I could have waited for a mud mask tomorrow 😜. : : : #fridaynightgoals #chilling #facemask #inmypjs #fridaynightvibes
