People often ask me how I stay on top of my fitness plans, family, business Etc and I always say planning is key.  <\/span><\/h3>\n

Take action<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay motivated  <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep organised.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gratitude <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow the above, and you will boost your lifestyle. I\u2019ll share some of my hacks that have helped me immensely.<\/p>\n

Avoid snacking with nature\u2019s gifts.<\/b><\/p>\n

To run at optimal energy without <\/span><\/p>\n

constantly feeling like you need a sugar fix or caffeine fix. I drink aloe vera gel early in the morning to lay the correct gut support for the day. This optimises my nutrition and food absorption for the rest of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n

I also take bee pollen and garcinia. Both are completely natural (nature has everything for us). The natural <\/span><\/p>\n

protein and a boost of over 100 <\/span>vitamins, minerals, and trace elements keep my energy high without having to take processed sugar or caffeine. I also take it throughout the day when I have my energy dips. It also helps to regulate my blood sugar levels.  <\/span>This has been a lifesaver for me because I struggled with energy and weight for a long time!<\/p>\n

Get enough sleep and relaxation.<\/b><\/p>\n

Our mood and sleep are inextricably linked. Aim to go to bed at the same time each evening and try to be <\/span><\/p>\n

technology-free at least 2 hours before bedtime. If that\u2019s impossible for you, try to make it an hour. <\/span><\/p>\n

The blue light from mobile devices has been shown to impact the quality of sleep. If you are one of the majority, who use a phone as your alarm, ensure notifications are switched off. iPhones, for example, have a Night Shift setting that subdues brightness.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Try not to eat too late into the evening.<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Optimally your last meal should be at least 3 hours before bedtime. <\/span>It also makes sense to not be stimulated by caffeine and alcohol in the evening, and a night-time routine can ease you into a better night\u2019s sleep; a warm bath, relaxing music and reading are all activities that allow your body to wind down and make a good night\u2019s sleep more likely. I take a herbal formula of Royal Jelly and Herbal Tea. It literally helps me sleep like a baby.<\/p>\n

Food equals mood <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Support your body with nutritious foods and hydration. Too much food or processed foods will not support your mood or your energy levels. Indulgence is acceptable as long as it isn\u2019t every day.  <\/span>Save those treats for the weekend or when you can have a more relaxed start on your days off. Instead of reaching for that sweet snack in the afternoon, take 5 minutes to focus on your breathing; it\u2019s amazing how <\/span>shallowly we breathe when we are busy. <\/span>Just a few rounds of slower, longer breaths stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, making us feel <\/span><\/p>\n

calmer and more relaxed.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Manage your diary<\/b><\/p>\n

I use a time blocking system in my physical diary, where you colour cod activities and prioritise. Block out time to spend with your family <\/span>without your phone. <\/span>Also, learn to say \u2018no\u2019 and perhaps set some rules about how many social <\/span>activities you will accept during the course of a week and weekend. It\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed when rushing from one thing to another, even if it\u2019s for pleasant social encounters. <\/span><\/p>\n

It can rob us of being in the moment and genuinely appreciating the here and now as we get consumed mentally by what\u2019s next. This is within our control; we just need to exercise it. By doing less, we achieve more, and the people we are with also benefit as we are more present and at our best when we are not running on empty.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Marine Collagen<\/b><\/p>\n

So, have you been intrigued by the <\/span><\/p>\n

sudden rise in popularity of Botox and face fillers? I have been fascinated, but I hate needles. That\u2019s why I\u2019m so glad we now have a non-invasive filler that smoothens out fine lines and wrinkles! <\/span><\/p>\n

The reviews cover all age categories, and they are absolutely raving!<\/p>\n

I have been trialling this new <\/span>collagen for two weeks now, and I\u2019m not only impressed with the firmness of my skin, but I have noticed my knees feel so much more comfortable after a workout. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is because collagen is proven to smooth wrinkles and boost elasticity in the skin. It also supports cartilage <\/span>repair and is a natural anti-inflammatory effect. I can now lift weights at the gym without having significant aches and pains.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Look after your gut<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s becoming increasingly accepted and understood that the gut and brain are inextricably linked; hence, we call the gut our second brain. <\/span>There is bi-directional communication between the gut and the brain, and an imbalance in our gut bacteria impacts our mood. It\u2019s also where 70% of your immune system is housed, so it <\/span>deserves our attention and care. <\/span><\/p>\n

Get active<\/b><\/p>\n

We became a nation of walkers during the lockdowns \u2013 let\u2019s hang on to that good habit. Being outside and moving around is a natural mood booster, plus it\u2019s free and accessible to us all. <\/span>As Laurette Mortimer so beautifully said, \u201cWalking brings me back to <\/span>myself\u201d. I love the gym as I have a <\/span>personal goal of toning up and <\/span><\/p>\n

building my strength, but walking is excellent, and I often walk my <\/span>daughter to school. <\/span><\/p>\n
