Commitment to daily exercise tip #1:
You don’t need a gym membership or fancy equipment, all you need is your body!
Step outside and take a walk. Use the environment around you – hills, stairs, and benches for step ups, press ups and dips. Try some simple and effective body weight exercises like squats or lunges and intersperse them with walking or jogging intervals. Learn some yoga sequences that you can do at home, rain, hail or shine.

Psychology of Healthy Eating Tip #5.
The principle behind sustainable healthy eating is to make good decisions MOST of the time.
So my favourite advice is, IF you are going to indulge, THEN SAVOUR IT!

Get in touch if you need some strategies to keep a healthy balance.
Identify your swaps – what are some of the things that you can (relatively painlessly) swap for something else more life-giving, or less troublesome.
For example, for me coffee is a ‘gateway’– I’m tempted to add sugar and then I want more sugary things like cakes and muffins and biscuits… Green tea on the other hand has me reaching for healthier snack alternatives and keeps sugar cravings at bay. But that’s just me, what works for you? What can you substitute?
