    How to Overcome Back Pain if You Are an Office Worker

    How to Overcome Back Pain if You Are an Office Worker

    Many office workers suffer from sedentary lifestyles, constant stress lifestyles and a lack of sleep. These are related to one another and may lead to serious health conditions as well as severe back problems.

     

    Prolonged inactivity, stress and lack of sleep can increase lower back pain. As the pain increases, many people reduce movement, resulting in even more back pain and aggravating the cycle of inactivity and back pain recurrence.

     

    From physical ailments, to impacting mood, memory and relationships, chronic pain can have a huge impact on your quality of life. 

     

    In this episode I share highly effective lifestyle changes that will help you eradicate your back pain so you can gain your life back.

    Don’t Burn Out, Take Care of Yourself

    Don’t Burn Out, Take Care of Yourself

    Parenting can be hard work, and without consistent self-care parents can easily and quickly burn out. Taking care of yourself makes you better equipped to take care of those you love. 

     

    When you fly on an airplane, the flight attendant instructs you to “put your oxygen mask on first,” before helping others. 

     

    Why is this an important rule for ensuring survival?  Because if you run out of oxygen yourself, you can’t help anyone else with their oxygen mask. 

     

    Making self-care a priority is not only a gift to yourself but more importantly to everyone in your life. 

     

    In this episode I share a mind blowing question that will help you put your selfcare first.

    Prioritize and Become More Productive

    And the only way to do it is taking care of yourself first.

    Avoid Burnout with These Self-Care Tips

    Avoid Burnout with These Self-Care Tips

    Burnout is an extreme stress condition that leads to severe physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Much worse than ordinary fatigue, burnout makes it challenging for people to cope with stress and handle day-to-day responsibilities.

    People with burnout often feel hopeless and may dread getting out of bed each morning. Burnout doesn’t go away on its own and, if left untreated, it can lead to serious physical and psychological illnesses. 

     

    Burnout can be avoided by making self-care part of your daily routine. When you feel physically and emotionally well, it’s often easier to navigate stressors in healthy and productive ways and avoid going down the burnout rabbit hole.

     

    In this episode you will learn how to face challenges and avoid burnout from a place where your selfcare is a strength or a superpower

    When is the perfect time to start putting YOU FIRST?

    When is the perfect time to start putting YOU FIRST?

    People often sacrifice self-care because they are too busy trying to save everyone else. To many, putting their own needs first feels somehow wrong, or even selfish.

     

    Taking care of yourself is the opposite of being selfish, as it strengthens you and enables you to support your loved ones better. It is a number one priority that must be taken care of NOW. 

     

    In this episode I share tips to help you actively prioritise time and effort into looking after your physical, mental and emotional health and well-being NOW.

    This is How You Develop Healthy Habits

    This is How You Develop Healthy Habits

    Certain habits contribute to your health, whereas some habits can have negative consequences. For this reason, it’s essential to remove habits that don’t serve you and establish new sustainable healthy habits 

     

    Although it may be challenging to develop new healthy habits, in the long-term, it will make your life so much easier. There is a lot more you need to do besides having that willpower. Habits often develop from things you keep doing in your everyday routine, rather than from just making decisions and not taking regular actions. 

     

    You need to focus on small habits that you can stick to so you turn your selfcare into a superpower.

     

    In this episode I share the key steps to create and maintain good habits, and avoid returning to older unwanted habits.

    When you’re overextended, overscheduled or overtired over a long period of time, those things you know are good for you are often under-prioritized. And when that happens, the concept of self-care can turn into a weakness or even a problem.

    Get Rid of Knee Pain

    Get Rid of Knee Pain

    As you become older, your knee joints causing pain and discomfort will only increase. Often, this is a result of the natural wear and tear of the cartilage between your knees causing it to wear away, decreasing the protective space between your bones. However, many other factors can lead to the chronic pain and stiffness that prompts knee surgery, including overuse, an injury, a sedentary life, a poor diet or even bad night’s sleep.

     

    Luckily, holistic approaches exist to increase your mobility, reduce pain and swelling, and build your knee strength. In many cases patients who opt for natural solutions can avoid knee surgery entirely or significantly delay it.

     

    The key is to move with confidence. Most people think that moving joints further damages their knees. This concept is wrong. By moving your joints, you are lubricating them and making them healthier. 

     

    In this episode I share tips to get rid of pain and help you get back into the shape of your life physically and mentally. 

     

    In this episode, I talk about: 

    • The impacts of knee pain on your life: (00:23)
    • Confidence to get back on the right track: (00:53)
    • The side effects from NOT moving: (04:02)

    Lifestyle Tips to Feel Your Best During Menopause

    Lifestyle Tips to Feel Your Best During Menopause

    Menopause is a natural biological process all women experience. Many people are familiar with some of the physical symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, but there are many emotional symptoms that occur as well. These symptoms can disrupt your life by affecting your ability to get a good night’s sleep, lowering your energy levels and even causing feelings of depression and anxiety.

     

    It is easier to deal with something that you have some understanding of. Emotional symptoms are caused when the hormones that normally regulate mood and emotions are out of balance. Swing moods can be frequent, extreme, and easily triggered making you feel as if things are not quite right. Some women experience them and others don't. 

     

    When you are healthy, you are more resilient to face and understand this natural process of your body. 

     

    In this episode I share six effective tips to help you minimize the symptoms and feel at your best during this natural yet confusing period of your life. 

     

    In this episode, I talk about: 

    • Taking control over menopause symptoms: (00:17)
    • Lifestyle tip 1 / Prioritize quality nutrition: (01:39)
    • Lifestyle tip 2 / Minimize alcohol: (03:03)
    • Lifestyle tip 3 / Commit to an exercise routine that you love: (03:43)
    • Lifestyle tip 4 / Practice self compassion: (05:03)
    • Lifestyle tip 5 / Prioritize sleep more than you've ever done before: (06:31)
    • Lifestyle tip 6 / Refine your recovery
    • Menopause symptoms when self care is a superpower: (07:55)

    How to Support Your Family with a Newborn

    How to Support Your Family with a Newborn

    With a newborn, your family life enters a new era, where family dynamics undergo tremendous changes. These affect you, your partner, and any other members of the family living with you. Your family members must prepare to face radical transformations and challenges that accompany the arrival of the new loved one.

     

    Parents who choose to breastfeed may experience changes to their sleep. Sleep deprivation, or not getting sufficient sleep, extracts a toll on all of us in terms of mood, health, safety, and even longevity in all of us.

     

    I have two kids in the house and a newborn.

     

    Self-care during these weeks is very important. Settle sleep, modulate movement and  filter food are key to taking your self-care to be a strength or a superpower. Once you are in that zone, you will be able to support your loved ones and manage your business successfully.

     

    In this special episode, my daughter shares what it is like to be a big sister for the second time and I share tips to get into that zone where everything falls into place.

    How to Achieve Permanent Weight Loss

    How to Achieve Permanent Weight Loss

    A lifestyle with a lot of sitting and little to no exercise is bad for your health. It affects your body and you can have health risks. By not getting regular exercise, you gain weight, your immune system may not work as well, you raise your risk of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure amongst more. The more sedentary you are, the higher your health risks are.

     

    You can change your lifestyle. You can jump from a sedentary life to a place where your health is a strength or a superpower. 

     

    In this episode I share the key core ingredient to losing weight and gaining an ideal weight for a healthy long life.

     

    I suggest creating and maintaining a new body image for yourself. It starts with one step, visualizing how you want to feel and act in your new body. It is important you keep that in your mind and repeat it over and over again so it becomes part of your unconscious identity. This avoids you from falling back into the “yo-yo cycle” and gaining weight again. Thinking everyday of that new version of yourself is going to be your set point of a thermostat that you always can come back to.

     

    Where your mind goes, action flows. To live a positive life you need to change that self image 

     

    In this episode, I talk about: 

    • Talking about the key core ingredient to lose weight for life: (00:17)
    • Consequences from my innactive lifestyle as a teen ager: (00:47)

Books can hold and keep all kinds of information, stories, thoughts and feelings unlike anything else in this world. The importance of reading as a repeated habit, is that it BOLSTERS YOUR BELIEFS.
