I was really interested is sharing these stats about what is ‘trending’ in 2022 and was so pleased that there is a real increase to improve our wellbeing.

Google is an amazing tool but the one thing that is imperative in the list below is ACTION

Tese are some of the things I found a massive increase in…

 80% increase in searches on Google for ‘mindful moving’
53% increase in searches on Google for ‘mindful exercise’
23% increase in searches on Google for ‘mindful running’

 

83% increase in searches on Google for ‘fitness tracker’
80% increase in searches on Google for ‘stress tracker’
50% increase in searches on Google for ‘cortisol level’

 

88% increase in searches on Google for ‘mood tracker journal’
50% increase in searches on Google for ‘mood journal’ in 2021

 

One ounce of action is greater than one ton of theory ( a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson)

The bottom line is SO simple and if you want the benefits of health improvements you just have to do the actions.

So why is it we see so much obesity, burnout, stress related health issues and mental health problems in our society?

I believe it is not just about education, people must me motivated, encouraged, supported and have a deep committed desire to change things.

What my clients say get in the way, laziness, procrastination, not quick enough results, it feels too hard, the list goes on.

Recently a client admitted she just makes excuses but the truth is ‘beating ourselves up’ is not part of the solution.

What I find is people generally commit to actions if they are held accountable by someone.

The real key is to become accountable to yourself.

 I feel we all take on so much that the important thing is to ensure we only commit to ‘bite size actions’.

SMALL baby steps in the right direct is the way to achieve results.

Make sure you are at least an 8 out of 10 in your enthusiasm, if you are lower its more likely you wont achieve your goals.

Make an action plan, add things in your diary so you know you have made time to do them.

Have FUN make things more enjoyable or reward yourself when they are complete.

Finally, if you really feel unable to honour your commitments to make good health choices, get help! Life coaching can look at what stops you and what are the underlying ‘self sabotage’ issues.

Whatever the reason remember people DO change and they CAN change for the better.
