Next Stop London Marathon

Here's a great update we received this week from one our previous programme participants:

'Just thought I would let you know - I completed my second marathon last weekend in a time of 3 hours 11 minutes and 50 seconds. This means I can now get automatic entry to the London marathon as a good for age time. 

All of this was kicked on after your session, so thank you again for the supportive inspiration.'

 

Regards,

Sleep More, Get Active, Lose Weight

Here’s a great story from one of our participants who made some resolutions on April 29.  Look how far they’ve come in such a short time. 

Inspiration for us all!

'Great to hear from you. Your email sparked renewed energy to pursue my objectives, now I know someone is watching!

You will be pleased to know that I have done well to keep to my goals and had the support of several of my fellow delegates whom I have shared my transformation and progress with.

I have been able to increase my sleep from 4 hours daily to at least 6 hours of proper sleep. This does leave me lethargic towards the latter part of my day but I’m happy with the overall progress.

I have stuck to my pre-sleep routine of slowing down my mind from 2130, by:

• Stopping any engagement with electronics, work, house chores and reading
• Shutting down the lights in the house and laying down to unwind
• Listening to soft music in a passive state
• At 2200 I allow myself to fall asleep

I do miss a day or two per week but I manage to get back on track.

I have not managed to stop drinking coffee all together but I have reduced my intake to only one cup, first thing in the morning, before work. Furthermore I consume only one additional cup of rooibos tea during the day. So, I’m well on track to be free from caffeine before I see you again.

Finally I have increased my fitness discipline and have lost 3.5kg in four weeks. I have signed up with a personal trainer to strengthen my core and trim my muscles in addition to cycling.  

Thank you for checking in, it’s great encouragement. See you in a few weeks.'

3 Great Wellbeing Tips from People Just Like You

One of the groups we’re working with at the moment is doing brilliantly with their wellbeing progress.  I wanted to share some of their observations on the secrets of their success so far, so that you can follow their great example.

1. Look for as many opportunities as you can to do the right thing for your wellbeing.  Small actions really add up so the more you do, the better you feel and the more you want to do.

2. Share your wellbeing journey with others.  The more people you have around you who are making positive choices, supporting you, and holding you accountable, the easier it is to stay on track.

3. Record your progress.  Whatever you want to change whether it be fitting in more activity, eating better, improving sleep routines or changing the balance of your life, keeping notes of your actions and the results you experience helps focus your mind and target the behaviour changes that really work.  It also helps you recognise and celebrate your successes.

Improve Wellbeing and Feel Great Immediately

Most of us know that great wellbeing simply means remembering to prioritise all the things you know are good for you.  

Here are 4 top tips to help you do exactly that right now.

1. Stand up (this moment or as soon as you can within the next 20-minutes) stretch your body, take a few deep breaths and have a drink of water.

2.  Remind yourself why making the right choices with wellbeing really matters to you.  What are your current wellbeing priorities? What would you like to do more of?  What would you like to do less of?  How do your daily choices move you towards achieving your wellbeing priorities?

3. Set yourself a new wellbeing objective and a deadline.  It could be a mini-motivational goal for the next week, or a life changing challenge for the coming months.  Make it something exciting that adds quality, value and fun to your life.

4. Schedule an appointment with yourself to check in and see how progress is going.  Never go more than 7-days without reviewing your wellbeing actions in relation to everything you want to achieve in life.
