Following on from my last podcast, I’m finally sharing my blood results, which I got back about four or five weeks ago. My ferritin was really low, my hormones were okay, and my thyroid was a bit off. I go into more detail in the episode and chat about what came back.
Motivation: Stop Waiting for It & Start Creating It Do you keep waiting to feel motivated before you start? In this episode of the EcoFitness BodyFit Show, I talk about why motivation often doesn’t come first — action does. We look at how rumination can leave us constantly thinking about everything we should be doing, without actually moving forward, and why small actions can completely change that. A 15-minute walk. An extra glass of water. One workout. Preparing tomorrow’s lunch. One better choice. Every small action gives you evidence that “I can do this” — and that’s where motivation starts to build. I also explain why we work in six-week blocks, followed by periods of maintenance and deload, rather than expecting ourselves to be hyper-focused 365 days a year. And instead of asking, “How much can I change in six weeks?”, start asking:
PROTECT YOUR ENERGY: How to Raise Your Vibration When Life Pulls You Down Have you ever felt stuck in a funk? Low energy, no motivation, not looking after yourself, eating poorly, skipping exercise — or feeling constantly drained by people, social media, news and everything going on around you? In this episode, I talk about the Vibrational Chart / Map of Consciousness and how you can use it as a simple self-reflection tool to recognise where you are emotionally and what might help you move yourself into a better state. We talk about moving through emotions like shame, guilt, fear, grief and anger towards courage, willingness, acceptance, love and joy — and the everyday things that can help: * Movement & exercise * Nourishing your body properly * Nature & fresh air * Sleep & recovery * The people you surround yourself with * What you’re consuming online * News & negativity * Positive connection You don’t need to go from feeling awful to amazing overnight. Sometimes changing your energy starts with one small action — a walk, a proper meal, putting your phone down, getting outside or spending time with someone who lifts you up. FREE PRINTABLE CHARTS I’ve created two printable PDF charts to accompany this episode. Listen once, print them out, and then listen again with the charts in front of you. Ask yourself: Where am I right now? What’s pulling me down? What can I do today to move myself upward? Vibration / Energy Chart CLICK HERE Map of Consciousness — EcoFitness BodyFit Version:
