Simple Health & Wellbeing Changes That Last a Lifetime

This weekend we begin working with a new group attending a leadership programme we've been part of for many years now.

While looking through some of the wellness success stories from previous participants on the programme I was reminded of a particular Senior Executive who we met in 2007 and have kept in touch with ever since.  

You can read his full review of how he achieved great results here and I wanted to draw specific attention to the simple approach he employed that has enabled him to still be experiencing positive benefits every day thanks to changes he highlighted almost 7 years ago.

'I am a morning person so I rise early and exercise at least 30 mins every day without exception, the minute I start making exceptions is the moment that making exceptions becomes easier and eventually the norm. I am also early to bed, you have to have this balanced if you rise early otherwise sleep deprivation catches up to you. Find out how much sleep you need to perform well and make sure that you get it nightly w/as few exceptions as possible.'

Wellness Updates, Inspiration & Determination

We like to stay in touch with everyone we work with and we've had some great updates this week from a group we last saw a month ago.  

They all committed to make some changes with their wellness and here's how some of them are getting on.  As usual it's simple changes that make the biggest difference.  Remember this when thinking about your own lifestyle changes...

'All is good here.  I have stopped picking between meals and I am exercising regularly (swimming and jogging).  I feel good and energised. I am working on achieving my target!'

'I have managed at least 1 off-road bike ride each week (1 hour) during the working day and I am definitely drinking more water.'

'I have been running, rowing and playing football on Sundays and meeting my aim of a minimum 3 activities per week. Have also been doing some things with the family – my youngest son and I went cycling together covering about 12K and he sometimes has cycled whilst I run.'

'All well.  I shifted my exercise routine to mid-afternoons which seems to work really well for me.  I’m doing some yoga/stretching early am and late pm too.'

'My posture in the office is improving. Actually I have changed my office chair in order to help to improve more.'

'I am doing ok. Almost daily exercise for 20 minutes on treadmill or equivalent.'

And we loved this update on one participant regarding their objectives:

• Run 10 x before end March they say the first one is the hardest… but I will make it...
