One of the questions I am always asked is how do I stay so motivated and consistent 

I pride myself on my consistency and dedication to my training, I know the continual growth and improvement of my performance comes from that commitment. I can probably count on one hand the number of training sessions I have missed in the last 2-3 years of training. But it has not happened by accident or luck and surprisingly it also hasn't happened by being motivated all the time. 

No one is motivated 24/7 that is not possible but what I have learnt is the relationship between motivation, discipline, consistency and habits. I have learnt how to hack the system and now I want to share that with you! 

So that is what today's episode is all about, the tips and tricks I have used to stay consistent and committed to my training and how motivation plays a role in that. 

The key things covered: 

• Understanding the relationship between motivation, discipline, habits and consistency. 
• How to remove the friction in your life and make training easy 
• The importance of understanding your why and getting clear on your goals 
• How to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling motivated 
• Find something you love doing 
• How to create fail-safe habits 
• Creating the ideal daily routine
• How to outsmart yourself 
• Make your mistakes your superpower 
• The importance of a game plan 
• Know the difference between excuses and reasons 
• How to build your champions mindset 
• The power of visualization
• Upgrade your language and use mantras 
• Finally, I threw the kitchen sink at you with all the other tips and tricks I have learnt over the years. 

This is a powerful episode that will not only upgrade your attitude to training but also translate to all areas of your life where you need to upgrade your motivation and consistency.

In today's episode, I have taken inspiration from the lessons I have learnt being a plant mum, I have realised they are so applicable to all other areas of life and I need to share these with you.

2020 ... What. A. Year! and we are only half way through

This year is one for the history books, natural disasters, worldwide pandemic, riots, political instabilities, it is a far cry from the 2020 we all expected to see unfolding as we sat on New Years Eve planning our resolutions

A spur of the moment podcast on my drive to work today, sharing my thoughts on the energies, the shifts and the purpose behind why 2020 is shaping up the way that it is

I belive it is the turning point the world needed, the energy has shifted, what has served and driven us in the past is no longer needed, relevant or tolerated in this new energy.

We need to clear the old, get rid of the shit that no longer serves. All of the ugliness of humanity needs to come to the surface so that we can clear it and make way for the new. For the lighter, more compassionate, more open, more loving, more creative energy that the world needs.

This is an uncomfortable and uncertain time for many but it is the world shifting, be open and watch the energy change and intensify in colour.

We all have areas of our lives that we want to improve, change and get better at, yet so many of us fall into the trap of never actually starting!

How do we get ourselves into the position or the mindset of actually committing to that change. How do we force that turning point on ourselves, give ourselves the boost, the motivation or the fright to turn that idea or dream into an action

Step 1 in designing your life for growth ... actually make the decision to! 

This episode takes you through the big questions I asked myself to shift my mindset and force me into a place where action and moving forward was the only obvious solution

• Make where you are so uncomfortable you have no choice but to move and grow
• Make sure the fear of failure pales in comparison to the fear of staying the same 
• Why you need to start now 

Because what is the worst that can happen ....
