We are taught to put a bandage on a wound to stop infections and we are taught to brush our teeth daily to prevent tooth decay. Right from the very first day of our lives we are taught how to keep our bodies safe and healthy. But what are we taught to prevent our mental […]

The Things That Make You Feel Alive
You know all of the things that truly make you feel alive. The things that make your heart race with excitement. The things that can’t help but make you grin from ear to ear. The things that ignite that fire in your belly. The things that bring you pure joy and happiness. The things that […]
My ‘Why’
Today somebody questioned why I do what I do – why I post pictures of myself on social media. A few hours later I was also asked to fill out a questionnaire, one of the questions was ‘Why did you decide to get into the fitness industry?’ The simple answer to both of those questions […]
Start Being Happy
How many times have you heard someone, or even yourself, say ‘I’ll be happy when.. X, Y or Z happens’? How often have you heard someone, or yourself, say ‘I wish X, Y, Z would happen’? (Obviously changing the X Y Z part, that would be weird if someone actually spoke that cryptically). My point […]
Does Stress Equal Success?

I haven’t written anything for a while. After travelling I have kind of felt like I wanted to take a step back from the social media world. I wanted my life to be MY life. With so many new things happening in my world, I feel like I don’t really want to share it with […]
My Adventure
I’m writing this whilst sat on the most beautiful beach that I have discovered. White sand surrounds me and clear blue water laps at my feet. I’m sat under a palm tree on a little towel with only a few other beach goers joining me in this tiny paradise. All sounds so cliche and idilic […]
