Exercise is stimulation and ‘food for your mind!’ We are designed to move. Designed to think, to find solutions and to contribute. When we have depression, our mind struggles to do the smallest task. Research has proven the first step to recovery is to start to move. Any exercise is a good exercise. Get up off the sofa. Walk around the kitchen, then around the house, or to the letterbox. Take baby steps every day. Build your way back to health – one step at a time! As you can add in more strenuous things like weights, aerobics, boxing, pilates…. anything will do to get the blood moving in your Mind and Body. Take your first step today.

We Are Australians

25 January 2022 / Leave a Comment / Work Life Balance / By Joslyn Gardiner / Australia Day, respect / 3 minutes of reading

I am, You are, We all are Australians. We may have different backgrounds, may eat different foods. Perhaps we even pray to a different God, or in a different way. It doesn’t really matter. We all are Australians. Every culture adds to the ‘melting pot’ that is Australia. We recognise all the ‘imported cultures!’ NOW, is the time to sit down and really listen to what our First Nations People – our original culture want / need to be happy and content in their own country – on their land. Time for change is now. New flag, New anthem, new attitudes.

Money flows to where it is most managed! If you lose control of your finances, you lose control of your life! Managing your Money is not savings, skrimping and starving yourself and your family!

21 October 2021 / Leave a Comment / Weightloss / By Joslyn Gardiner / gastric banding / 5 minutes of reading

Overeating is a national problem. In 2018 two out of three or 67% of Australian adults – that’s 12.5 Million adults – and 24% of our children were overweight. Something has to change!
Gastric Sleeve Surgeries have double in recent years and in reality all that does is ‘stop you over-eating!’ So isn’t it time to stop dieting and overeating.
Focusing on the critical drivers of eating – What, When, Why, How, and How Much we eat is essential to change our bad eating habits.
There are three drivers to overeating – what we eat; why we are eating? And how much we eat each day. Our health and weight will not change until we change our relationship to eating and take back control of our nutrition.

Alcohol and Anxiety Don’t Mix

30 September 2021 / Leave a Comment / Excessive Drinking / By Joslyn Gardiner / anxiety, bad habits / 3 minutes of reading

Australian culture has developed with alcohol being ‘the’ drink for happy, social, in fact, every occasion. But the truth is, alcohol coupled with loneliness, anxiety, stress, fear is a cocktail made in hell. Alcohol and anxiety do not mix. Yes sure, we have all seen the ‘happy drunk!’ But, more often, alcohol fuels the worst in people. Alcohol may numb your mind, but when you wake up the regret can last a lifetime.

Overcome Emotional Overeating

23 September 2021 / Leave a Comment / Hypnosis, Weightloss / By Joslyn Gardiner / addictive habits, weight loss hypnosis / 5 minutes of reading

Do you find yourself reaching for a snack whenever you feel: bored, stressed, angry, sad or just need to fill in some time? Emotional eating is one of the major reasons people struggle to maintain a healthy weight. Fact is, most of us were taught to overeat, eat to please others or simply to eat when we needed comfort at a very early age. We no longer wait for our stomach to let us know it’s time to eat, we just eat. Eating is so much a part of our society. If you know you eat when you are already full, maybe its time to start listening to the signals your body is sending you and change your eating habits.
