Sometimes we often overlook the good and focus on the bad or the things that are causing us stress or worry…..especially at the end of a busy day.

One thing I learned a few years back was how thinking about the positives of my day before I go to bed and writing them down, helped me to shift my mindset and focus more on what had went well and be grateful for that.

Just like your granny would say “never go to bed on an argument”…..never go to bed in a negative mindset 😌 Focus on what made you smile, what made you happy….

I have had 3 ladies today say….

“I haven’t been in the gym in so long”
“I haven’t slept all week with the baby”
“ I can’t be arsed, I had a load of gin last night”

Well you got here ladies and you should be proud of yourself for that alone, yous all trained your hardest, pushed those reps out and left with nothing left to give and I bet you feel f**king great for it!

Life doesn’t always give us the perfect conditions to train and waiting to feel motivated, for a full nights kip or for the hangover to subside, can mean waiting a frigging long time or never!

Showing up means:

• You are prioritising yourself!
• You are building consistency!
• You are getting closer to your goals!
• You gave a s**t about yourself!

Getting in that gym……especially on the days we can’t be arsed…..those ones matter most and honestly I get some of the best training out of my clients on those days 💪 A little bit because I’m a harsh cow but only because I know how important it is for you all to show up for yourselves!!

My sister is soon to be doing the National 3 peaks challenge, climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland & Wales all in 24hrs, hardly no kip, hundreds of miles in driving and all with her own health conditions that should make this extremely difficult but she will push through and complete this for her daughter…..my one in a million little niece Emie Blossom 🌸 and her amazing school The Priory in Hexham.

Even if you can spare a few pounds to give to this amazing cause, a local school to our community, she would be extremely thankful 😌

Day off today…..haven’t been to the gym, I’m still sat in my pjs at 2ish in the afternoon with no eyebrows, but guess what…..I’m super proud of myself this morning 🤗

I’ve had a cushty big breakfast
I’ve washed my mattress toppers
Sat on my arse in the garden
Hoovered the stairs
Sat on my arse in the garden
Done my roots….

…… now I’m off to get ready at 2:40pm because the kids fancy Krispy Kreme’s 🍩 Such a simple morning but I’m not proud of what I’ve done…..I’m proud of what I haven’t!

I haven’t sat doing work, I haven’t worried about emails, exercise, meal prep, were I need to be, what I should be doing, who needs what🤯 everything can just p**s off today as I wanted to sit in my pjs and wash my mattress toppers! 🤗

Reminder to slow down when you need to 🥰 The rest is as important as the graft we put in. The fitness, the nutrition, the wellness has to be sustainable and it has to fit into our everyday lives. 🥰

A prompt a few of us have needed this week and what better day to use it 🤗 The sun is out and I’m sat on my lounger reading a book this morning (granted I’m doing socials and admin in between chapters but let’s ignore that) if you have time today grab yourself some vitamin D, read a bit book, get your feet in the grass and don’t wait for the kids to get that pool out!

If you’re in work or busy today then how can you use your break to be kind to yourself?……. or maybe you can nip for a paddle tonight or make an extra special dinner in the garden 🏊🏻‍♀️

Either way do something nice for yourself, this last week has been a tough one for me and so today I’m being a selfish t**t (coz we need too) once I’ve finished reading I am going to get my tootsies done off the lovely Lauren Staples before school runs, dinners, lifts, washing, more admin etc 🥰

Enjoy the sunshine everyone and just give yourself an hour if you can ☀️

Being fit & healthy isn’t just about workouts and nutrition …..yes exercise and nutrition are important but looking after your mind, managing stress, and making time to truly switch off is extremely important for us busy ladies who spend so much of our time looking after everyone else and everything else!

Over the last few weeks I teamed up with the lovely Rachel from to provide all my ladies with a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, relax their nervous system, and switch off!

Rachel put us together a lovely evening of Cacao, Yoga Nidra and a beautiful soundbath on 2 separate nights.

The feedback from this was amazing, most people had a good well deserved 2hr deep sleep, some of us had a huge release of emotions and everyone managed to switch off and relax.

20 less stress heads in the gym this week 🙄 Let’s see how long it takes us all to need another one 🤗

Ok so maybe the things that made us feel alive in our 20s aren’t so doable now with a few kids a spouse, a dog and bills coming out our ears but we can create newer versions of what make us feel alive and get rid of the expected s**tty diary inputs, food shop, coffee with Karen, Get kids holiday clothes, go to post office 😴😴😴

Not saying you should all go on a mad one 😉 but get the food shop delivered and go axe throwing …..pie Karen off and book tickets for a gig instead……go camping with your besties……jump out a plane if you need to or do mushrooms in a field (maybe not that last one) but we need to not get bogged down with the mundane ladies at least not 100% of the time.

So make a list ladies, get it on the fridge and let me know what’s going on them 🤗
