Heal your gut, heal your life. Did you know over 70% of your immune system is in your gut? This is exactly why leaky gut healing is a huge part of my consultations as it is vital to address in the perimenopausal years. Your gut wall is there to protect you from anything getting out into your bloodstream and causing inflammation. If your gut is breached or leaky, inflammation is brewing in your body, making your peri-menopausal symptoms worse.

Healing my gut was integral to elevating my health! I have taken all that I have learnt personally in my gut health journey and as a Kinesiologist, to ensure your gut health will thrive. Every Kinesiology session is completely unique to you and is 100% natural and it is always my role to help heal all aspects of your gut health, both nutritionally, emotionally & physically.

Your gut health is imperative to your long term health and disease prevention.

If you feel a sense of overwhelm or defeat over your new year, goals and aspirations, you’re not alone. It is human nature to reflect on what we’re not doing, and create a superhuman new year, new me transformation list that feels empowering at the time, but putting it into action with life’s demands can feel impossible.

If this resonates, then I’d love to share a few “back to basics” to help you move forward in a more gentle, harmonious journey. You absolutely do deserve your hopes & aspirations but if your foundations are shakey, it will feel like a hard arduous slog to get there.

I’m here to ask you about your resilience.

How is yours resilience to stress?
How is your resilience to illness?
How is your resilience to being judgemental?
How is your resilience against negative self talk or self-loathing?

It’s worth a moment of reflection, as I genuinely believe if we all take small steps to build greater resilience/ a strong foundation…..…

You will be more aligned to take positive action on your aspirations that excite & energise you!

This is not about focusing on what you’re not doing, It’s about adding in small (achievable) steps that add value, and feel like it will make a positive impact in your life.

Ultimately we can’t strive for our dreams & goals if we’re feeling flat/stressed/low/ unwell!

Grab your journal/diary/post it notes & choose 3 things today from each category
that you can answer a “YES” to if you can stick to adding these actions in your life for 3 weeks….

Then in 3 weeks time, review what has stuck, and challenge yourself to build in more of it’s a resounding YES…
Side note (this is a guide, you are welcome to customise, but it has to be adding in, not removing!)

BUILDING MY RESILIENCE PLAN

1.Building physical resilience
*First thing when you wake up, take 5 to 10 minutes to MOVE
EG: Stretch, Squats, Yoga, 7 min HIT, Rebounder, Star Jumps
*End of the day: 10 minutes of movement (EG. walk outside, as above, bonus: add a friend!)
*When desk bound: MOVE every 20mins (eg, stretch, toilet break, make a cuppa)
*Once a week or a month: take a class to move

2.Building emotional resilience:
This is all about nurturing self love and self-worth with words & actions.
In moments of negative self-talk, judgment, dismissal…..ASK What can I say/do to pause this EG:
*Say out aloud or in your head, use what resonates
“I am worthy”;
“I love myself”;
“I am loved”
“I deserve __”

*Acts of self love:
EG: x2+ a week to have a luxury bath (epsom salts. lavender, book, music);
– A monthly holistic therapy to help nourish my body (I deserve!).

The post How to Build Resilience to Realise Your Dreams appeared first on Kinesiology with Karen.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes Mondays roll around and I can’t fully recall what we’ve even done on the weekend! And so with all this busyness & ‘soldier on’ mentality, we rarely take a moment to assess where we are at with are health & happiness.

So are you ready for some reflection? 

Let’s run through acronym B.R.A.I.N, and write down 5 actionable steps you can take to invest in your health & happiness! As without a healthy happy brain, we aren’t living to our fullest!

#1. B  –  is for Beliefs

Sometimes when the going gets tough, we can face a victim mentality. 

Why me? Who to blame? And re-playing damaging thoughts that pull us down.

Do they serve us? A resounding NO! Can we choose a different outlook? Absolutely YES!

For me, I choose to believe I am worthy of living my best life, I deserve happiness, love & bucketfuls of belly laughter.

So now ask yourself: What do I want to believe about my life?

You can help re-train your brain by repeating this to yourself in the morning & evening

#2. R  –  is for Rest & Rejuvenate

Reflect on a poor nights sleep. How was your mood & function the following day?

For me, it’s all a bit downhill. The fact is during our sleep, our brains are literally detoxing via the glymphatic system and we need about 8 hours to re-boot. So just like our phones need re-charging, we need sleep to re-charge too!

For example: try avoid screen time an hour before bed. Use this time to have a relaxing bath, or reading a book before bed in dimmed lighting. This is a great way to signal to your brain, you are slowly shutting down, ready for sleep!

? time:  What bedtime routine/environment can you create to boost your sleep duration & quality? 

A  – for Active

There are 2 tiers to think about here. 1. Being physically active &  2. Being mentally active.

If boosting your mood, focus, & energy appeals to you, then really engage in creative ways to explore these two tiers. It is honestly a no brainer!

Both tiers have to interest you, or light you up, and make you feel good….so stay in tune with how you feel afterwards. Thinking about it brings no credit here folks, you actually have to do it. 

Personally I love variety. So a mix across the week of  yoga, dog walking, gardening, a run and then mentally active wise:  using an APP like Luminosity or the game Banagrams/(attempting) Sudoku!

So….What could you explore each day to challenge yourself both physically & mentally?

TIP: Explore these ideas in the morning, when our motivation is highest. And for an extra boost, get yourself outdoors & into nature if you can!

I  –  Irrigation

Water is life. On a cellular level, it is integral to our health & wellbeing, so let’s all make the effort to stay hydrated! 

Try to drink up to 2L of water throughout the day. Ideally away from food & filtered if you can.

As a reformed cuppa O’many a coffee to get me through the day, this action step has really transformed my adrenal fatigue, brain fog & energy!

So here is your action step: I am going to try to drink more pure water!

N  –  Nourish

This could be a chapter in itself but let’s keep it simple as Hippocrates so insightfully said:

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

Easier said than done, I know, especially in the cooler months. I personally never connected the dots with what I consumed vs. how I felt both physically & mentally. But once I switched to a rainbow diet of natural foods, with healthier treats, I was really struck how it improved my energy & especially my skin (the window to our inner health).

So answer this….

What nutrient poor foods (eg.processed/man-made) could you kick to the curb? And which fruit/veg that you like can you eat more of?

Ps. I have focused on food here, but please feel free to explore what ‘nourish’ means to you beyond diet eg. your relationships, personality, habits, friends, family

A little footnote for you!

Be kind to yourself, stay curious, and don’t beat yourself up if your ideas don’t quite go to plan. The measure is always in dusting yourself off, and to keep trying until all the incredible hard work sticks (according to research, just 3 weeks to break habits that ill serve us) uniq product nail place instock looks
