Love this:) How so very true!

Consistency is key Embrace your inner-self whole heartedly. We are not what social media makes of us...we are real, authentic true to our self. Our energy from within affects those around us. Draw on kind thoughts, look within to make a difference and make decisions with warmth and caring for yourself first and eventually this will affect those around you for the positive. Too often we ignore the signs of stress and how social media affects our day to day interactions. Take... time for you. Don’t ignore those warning signs. If you are feeling off, draw on those feelings...centre, focus, breathe in and release it all. Those negatives thoughts do not serve you. You are real, genuine, kind, gracious, caring, warm and can make a difference. It starts from within. #focusonthegood #focusonyourself #kindnessmatters #breatheinpositive #exhalenegative See more

Are you a perfinker?! You perceive think and feel your way through life. Everything you see, think, say or feel becomes your reality as your thoughts are tied to your emotions. Becoming conscious of your thoughts can help you to get back in touch with your reality! Find something beautiful you appreciate, be mindful, practice acts of kindness, live life with gratitude, move your body joyfully and the way that feels right for you. #perfinker #mentalhealth #selfswarenesspractice #selflove #perceive #think #feel #love #embrace #1love

One of the biggest obstacles is the belief that we can’t do something. Or that were not good enough. Or that we don’t meet the perfect standards of our sport or our school or our work. Give up the societal pressures to be perfect and focus on what brings you joy! If you play a sport that demands technical excellence and the focus is on that...choose to focus on what you enjoy most about that sport as it is in-the moment experiences that win over your love and your love for ...the sport, for yourself and for performance in whatever you are doing is the single most important facet. Then your standards will be met. We seek validation from others when if fact we should be seeking it from ourselves. What appears perfect on the outside may in fact not be perfect on the inside, so don’t be disillusioned by this. Work on gaining self-confidence that radiates from the inside out and everything else will follow. Be proud of who you are and what you stand for, know your values and stand by them. BE YOU as their is no one who can ever replace the true authentic you! #focusonjoy #beyou #authentic #truetoself #selflove #innerconfidence #innerstrength #mentalstrength #mentalhealth #lookwithin #selfreflection See more

Your thoughts control your actions. What you say to yourself is what you get! I was working with a client first thing this morning and it was a nice reminder that what you can conceive you can achieve. This said client name remains anonymous for confidentiality purposes had suffered a severe stroke a few months earlier was so quick to recover his occupational therapists could hardly believe it. He surpassed others who had suffered less severe brain injuries and was sent home ...from special hospital care determined to get back to everyday living. Our brains are fascinating...the neuroplascity has always fascinated me and the more we understand that we control a lot of what we do including our movement by training our thoughts and what we chose to say to ourselves. I believe I can...I will....I am doing this...I have mastered this...I am determined...I can relearn this is I have to...two steps backward....one forward #mentalatrength #whatweconceiveweachieve #wearepowerfulbeyondmrasure #positiveselftalk See more

We are waiting for those skies to clear but the thing is then moments are passing us by! If we learn from our mistakes we will live and love in the moment...put the past behind and focus on the now. Take care of yourself but don’t forget about your environment for what surrounds you is beauty and you create you but you also have an impact on all things that surround you. Don’t take for granted for a moment as time will pass right on by while you are waiting for those skies to clear. #positivevibesonly #protectyourselfandothers #protectyourenvironment #nature #gratitude #live #love #embrace #feel

There will always be naysayers! But never let them interfere with your belief in yourself, or interfere with your desire, goals and passion. Because when you believe in yourself amazing things can happen! So lift that head up high, find that inner strength and know that you CAN put your mind to anything that you want. Never say I cant! Reframe youre thoughts and practice saying I can. I am confident. I am powerful beyond measure. I am an amazing athlete. I can handle pres...sure. Once you reframe your thoughts from negative to positive you will be completely astonished at the results. Your self talk guides your actions. What you say is what you get and What you see it what you get Imagine good things happening and send that energy out the the universe and it will return to you. #confidence #reframing #positivemindset #breatheinbreatheout #followyourpassion #youarewhatyousay #beyou #doyou #believeinyourself See more

Pursue your passion. Life will set up all kinds of obstacles in front you...but your true test of character is how you navigate these challenges. Some people will try to drive right through them as their passion supersedes any obstacles. Let your passion drive you and nothing will stand in your way. Too often when I ask people why they choose to do something and commit their time to it and their answer is they do it because they have to, or because their parent wants them to...do it for you. Choose things you are passionate about. There may be sacrifices, time spent with friends etc...but always pursue your passion. You wont regret it. And choose things you love to do. #choosepassion #pursuewithpassion #lovewhatyoudo #doitforyou

Too often we get caught up in what the future holds that we forget to take the time to embrace moments and really be fully present in our own lives and that of others. In the sporting world we are always fixed on the future and outcomes and putting our focus on these things to determine our success and happiness. We need to remember to take the time to slow down, smile, enjoy your health and happiness in the now. Embrace your ability to move and engage in activity both socially and physically #findwhatmovesyou #embracemoments #liveinthepresent #lifeisanadventure #enjoytime #respectyourbodyandmind #knowwhatyouenjoy #beopentolivinginthenow

Did you know that mental toughness is a trait that can be measured and has a huge impact on your ability to overcome adversity and failure and strive for success. Athletes who possess mental toughness and resiliency can overcome setbacks and learn from their mistakes in pursuit of their dreams. What you might now know is this trait is malleable and it can be trained. You can take a mental toughness survey to first determine your level of resiliency and then I can design a program that helps you to develop this important sport, health and life attribute.

In my opinion there is no better feeling than believing in yourself and your ability to perform at the highest level, even after overcoming setbacks. Confidence and mental toughness are two of the most important skills an athlete can possess #believeinself #resilience #determined #persevere #knowyourworth

The foundation of any relationship whether it be with yourself or others is to build trust. Building trust in our own abilities is a good place to start. To believe in oneself and eliminate any self doubt we can change our self-talk. It starts with you. Create a routine incorporating healthy self-talk practices. I am good enough. I am strong! I have a purpose. I have good values!

Choose activities and set goals that empower you. During these COVID times, we have to feel a sense of control over the decisions we make to improve our sport performance and health. Start by choosing activities that challenge you but that are specific achievable, realistic, timely, and measurable. Set your sights on what you hope for but each day set one goal to motivate you on your journey.

These are difficult times for many athletes, coaches, trainers, sports associations and parents. So much uncertainty and anxiety not knowing what will happen next. Be a listening ear for someone who needs it. Support those that are struggling. #lifteachotherup #strongertogether

If you have a chance a great read is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life. Time isnt precious at all, because it is an illusion (ET)
