Happy New Year to you all!\u00a0 I am a little late in getting this out to you as I’ve enjoyed a break from all matters work related for a sneaky week’s holiday with the family in the sunshine.\u00a0 I find the change of pace helps me to focus and relax (at the time) but now back and raring to go I crave the routine that regular exercise and fitness brings.\u00a0 That niggling little voice in the back of my mind is reminding me how many glasses of wine I’ve had and how many classes I’ve missed.\u00a0 I need that now but it was important at the time to allow myself to relax and unwind.\u00a0 Everything in moderation.<\/p>\n
Balance is SO important in SO many ways.\u00a0 Whether it’s Exercise V Rest, Work V Life, Run V Wine or Fun V Chores, there is always a happy medium.\u00a0 We all need to find the right balance and allow ourselves the opportunities that arise from being at both end of the spectrum.\u00a0 I am not going to lie and try to say that I haven’t enjoyed a lazy week off!! The hardest part is finding that little bit of discipline required to\u00a0get things back up and running again.\u00a0 Re-fire.\u00a0 Re-focus.<\/p>\n
New Year can be a tough time for some people who know that reaching goals regarding lifestyle, weight loss, dress size and body shape can be tough to achieve.\u00a0 Self discipline doesn’t come as easily for everyone.\u00a0 The excuses have a mind of their own and sometimes you don’t even realise that you’re influencing them.\u00a0 Ultimately, changes will only happen if\u00a0YOU make changes to your routine.\u00a0 Don’t be scared to STOP and take stock once in a while.\u00a0 Don’t cheat on yourself but allow for balance, it lets you live.<\/p>\n
Rewrite the rule book.<\/p>\n
Make a change.<\/p>\n
Make time for yourself.<\/p>\n
Reap the rewards.<\/p>\n
Try something new.<\/p>\n
Invest in yourself and your well being, let’s be honest, no-one else will!<\/p>\n
