Overcoming procrastination and taking action towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle requires commitment, discipline, and a strategic approach.
Here are some steps to help you stop procrastinating and start taking action:
1. Set Clear Goals: Define specific, measurable, and realistic health and fitness goals. Having clear objectives will give you a sense of direction and motivation to take action.
2. Break It Down: Break your larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks. This makes them less overwhelming and easier to tackle. Create a step-by-step plan that outlines the actions you need to take.
3. Create a Schedule: Establish a regular schedule for your health and fitness activities. Set aside dedicated time for exercise, meal planning, and self-care. Treat these appointments with yourself as non-negotiable and prioritize them.
4. Start Small: Begin with small, achievable actions to build momentum. For example, commit to a 10-minute workout or incorporate one healthy meal into your day. Starting small helps you overcome inertia and build consistency.
5. Find an Accountability Partner: Seek support from a friend, family member, or fitness buddy who shares your goals. Having someone to hold you accountable, offer encouragement, and celebrate your progress can be highly motivating.
6. Remove Distractions: Identify and minimize potential distractions that hinder your progress. This may include reducing screen time, turning off notifications, or creating a dedicated workspace for exercise or meal preparation.
7. Use Positive Reinforcement: Reward yourself for taking action and reaching milestones along the way. Celebrate your achievements, whether it's treating yourself to something you enjoy or acknowledging your progress with positive self-talk.
8. Practice Time Management: Improve your time management skills to maximize productivity. Break your day into blocks of focused work, incorporating designated time for health and fitness activities. Avoid multitasking and allocate specific time slots for different tasks.
9. Find Your Motivation: Discover what truly motivates you to be healthy and fit. It could be improving your overall well-being, boosting your energy levels, achieving a personal fitness goal, or setting a positive example for your loved ones. Connect with that motivation regularly to stay committed.
10. Embrace Mindset Shifts: Cultivate a growth mindset and embrace the belief that you have the ability to change and make progress. Replace negative self-talk and self-doubt with positive affirmations and self-compassion. Focus on the benefits and the joy of living a healthy lifestyle.
11. Seek Professional Guidance: Consider consulting with professionals such as a fitness trainer, nutritionist, or wellness coach. They can provide personalized guidance, support, and expertise to help you stay on track and overcome obstacles.
Remember that change takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and stay committed to your goals. Each small step you take is a valuable move towards a healthier and fitter life.

On May the 26th 2023 I did my first VLOG - Video Log.
Since starting my "Great Wellness Reset" 2022 - about a year ago, I have had so many people contacting me saying how much they liked following my journey on Facebook and said they would like me to share more.
I have always felt a little "shy" when it comes to sharing more personal stuff, but I decided that if I don't start sharing now, when will I.
In the first video I am just sharing a little bit of my paradise here in Porepunkah, in the Alpine Region of Victoria.
We are just a few days of winter now, and the colours are changing as the leaves are falling of the trees.
I have loved the colours of the autumn here in Bright. The colours are incredible.
I do hope you enjoy watching my little paradise VLOG. Please make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel, turn on the notifications and like the video. I will be my adventures and wisdom with you.
I look forward to hearing your comments.

A MALA is a string of beads used for meditation and prayer in various spiritual practices, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is similar to a rosary in the Christian tradition. Malas can be made from various materials such as gemstones, wood, seeds, or crystals, and they typically consist of 108 beads, although variations exist with different bead counts.
The number 108 holds significance in many spiritual and cultural traditions.
Here are some interpretations of why the mala typically has 108 beads:
1. Sacred Number: In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the number 108 is considered sacred. It is believed to represent the wholeness of existence, including the individual self, the universe, and the divine. Each bead is a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things.
2. Cosmic Relationships: The number 108 is said to reflect various cosmic relationships. For example, it is believed to represent the 12 zodiac signs and the 9 planets, resulting in 12 multiplied by 9 equaling 108. Additionally, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 108 times the diameter of the Sun.
3. Energy Centers: In yoga and Ayurveda, it is believed that the human body has 108 energy channels or nadis that converge to form the heart chakra. Each bead on the mala can be seen as a symbol of these energy centers and serves as a tool for aligning and balancing them during meditation.
4. Mantra Repetition: Malas are often used to count repetitions of mantras during meditation. A mantra is a sacred word, sound, or phrase that is repeated to focus the mind and enhance spiritual growth. The mala with 108 beads allows practitioners to track the recitation of the mantra by moving one bead at a time, helping to maintain concentration and awareness.
It's important to note that while 108 is a significant number, not all malas have precisely 108 beads. Some malas may have fewer beads, such as 54 or 27, and there are also wrist malas with around 18 to 27 beads. The symbolism and purpose of the mala remain regardless of the specific bead count. Ultimately, the mala serves as a personal tool for meditation, prayer, intention setting, and spiritual practice.
Using a mala necklace for meditation and spiritual practice is a simple and effective process.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a mala necklace:
- Set Your Intention: Before you begin using the mala, take a moment to set your intention or purpose for your practice. It could be a specific mantra, affirmation, or quality you wish to cultivate during your meditation.
- Choose a Comfortable Position: Find a comfortable seated position for your meditation practice. You can sit on a cushion, chair, or in any other position that allows you to maintain an upright posture while being relaxed.
- Hold the Mala in Your Hand: Hold the mala in your dominant hand, allowing it to rest on your middle or index finger. You can let the mala drape between your fingers or hold it loosely, ensuring that it is comfortable and doesn't restrict your movement.
- Start at the Guru Bead: The guru bead is the larger bead at the center of the mala. Begin your practice by holding the mala with your thumb and middle finger and starting at the bead next to the guru bead (the bead before and after the guru bead are not counted).
- Recite Your Mantra or Affirmation: With each bead, gently move your thumb or middle finger to the next bead while reciting your chosen mantra or affirmation silently or aloud. You can use a specific mantra or simply focus on your breath or a word that resonates with your intention.
- Keep Count: Continue moving from bead to bead, repeating your mantra with each bead until you reach the guru bead again. You can choose to go around the mala once or multiple times, depending on your preference and the time you have available for your practice.
- Pause or Reverse Direction: When you reach the guru bead, you can pause for a moment of reflection, gratitude, or to transition to another practice. If you wish to continue, you have the option to reverse direction and move back along the mala without crossing over the guru bead.
- Closing Your Practice: Once you have completed your desired number of repetitions or reached the end of your meditation, gently place the mala down or wear it as a reminder of your practice throughout the day.
Remember, the mala is a personal tool, and you can adapt its usage to suit your individual practice. You can use it for meditation, mantra repetition, mindfulness, or any other spiritual practice that resonates with you. Enjoy the process and let the mala serve as a supportive tool on your spiritual journey.

It will more than likely come a time when you ask yourself "Who am I", "Why am I here?", "What should I be doing with my life?" We may hit a point in our lives when we feel confused or completely unaware of the reason for living.
As a life/wellness/nlp coach and hypnotherapist I have helped many people understand themselves, gain clarity and find their purpose. I have noticed that people who are not as self aware often experience anxiety, depression and burnout. When we are "out of balance" and our body-mind is disconnected, we suffer consequences which can affect our health/wellness, relationships, finances etc.
Having a clear understanding of one's values, beliefs, strengths, weaknesses can assist in making important life decisions and makes us feel more aligned and whole.
As a coach I use many different techniques and tools and a while ago I came across something called Human Design and the amazing Samantha Selby from Super Natural Coaching.
Samantha has developed an in depth personal report using Human Design. I purchased the report myself and was so blown away with how valuable this tool was. I will now be incorporating it with my coaching clients and encourage EVERYONE to have this report done. The report is 135 pages long and it's all about you. It contains such valuable information which can gain so much more clarity and help someone develop more self love, acceptance and step into their authentic self.
I was so impressed so I asked to interview Samantha for my "Transform Your Wellness" Podcast.
If you have not listened to it, make sure you do.

The Equinox is powerful and occurs twice a year as the Sun crosses the celestial equator. It's when the day and night are approximately of equal length.
This time is a time of inner renewal and rebirth. It's the time we release blocks in our subconscious mind.
Last night was intense with dreams and the morning was emotionally charged. Today was a huge day from start to end but I "made it" to the end and I am now sitting in stillness with some candles reflecting of the intensity of this day. Extraordinary amount of light is flooding our planning right now. This means we are literally shedding the density of the past and rebirthing our light bodies. It's an incredible time to be alive.
So much happened in one day. I also interviewed an amazing lady - Marion OMace. Marion is a leading international teacher with over 30 years experience in the mind, body and spirit technologies and inner time as a practitioner she started observing matrices and number codes which lead to a burning desire to understand what these meant.

It used to take me a long time to manifest, but that seem to have changed lately. I am now manifesting so much faster. Do you find the same? Did you know that Universe likes to do things fast?
I am starting to wonder if it's even possible to manifest instantly? What are your thoughts on this?
I believe it's possible to manifest instantly or close to anyway. The thing that keeps us from doing this is your fear and limiting beliefs. Imagine if you could let go of your limiting beliefs and thoughts that does not serve you so you had no resistance. Then we could manifest extremely quickly. So today I thought I'll share you a few things that are going to help you manifest quicker.
- Write down what it is you want to manifest. It's important to get the thought out of your head and on paper. This will bring it to life and start the process of manifesting. You then need to read this at least 3 times a day - morning, noon and dinner. I also suggest you reflect on them as you are about to go to sleep, so that your subconscious mind can start working on it.
- Believe it's already here. This is so important., If you don't believe it, that you are worthy of it and that you can have what you want - then you won't manifest it. If you want to manifest quickly then you must suspend your limiting beliefs and change them to ones of confidence.
- Calm your mind. You must clear your mind in order to be able to focus on what you want and to make it your reality. Thinking about a whole lot of other things that has nothing to do with what you want to manifest is not going to help you manifest what you want. A great way to calm your mind is to do deep breathing.
- Act as it's already yours. This creates the vibration of what it is your want to manifest. We must match the vibration of what we want to manifest. I like to close my eyes and tune into the feeling of what it is I want to manifest. I see it, feel it, hear it and so on. Did you know that everything we experience in this life is based on feeling.
- You have a choice. Remember that it is your choice to feel what it is you want to feel. Act as you already have what it is you want by tuning in to the feeling and remember that you choose that feeling now, that feeling of already having it. Start to feel good in everything you do. It's about choosing your feelings.
- Get rid of limiting beliefs and fear. This is one of the most important thing when it comes to manifesting!
You can be, do, or have anything! The only thing keeping you from that is your thinking that you can’t. You fear that you can’t achieve it and you’re going to fail. You don’t want to fail because you hate the feeling of failing. Failing produces a negative feeling. So really the only thing you are scared of is a negative feeling. The thing is, that negative feeling can't hurt you.

“When you no longer split your flow of Energy with contradictory thoughts, you will know your power.” - Abraham Hicks
- Raise your vibrations When you are in this low vibrational state you are going to attract more low vibrational thoughts. This won't help you manifest quickly! You need to move up your vibrational spiral and begin to think thoughts that are in a higher vibrational state such as happiness and joy!
You can join me for my 30 ways to FREE Raise Your Frequency here >>Raise Your Frequency
- Learn to let go of resistance
The only reason the things you want are not coming into your life is because you are resisting them in some way. Instead surrender and let go. Obsessing over something won't bring the things into life that we won't. The key is to instead to simply relax and allow it to come without resistance. Be confident and trust that the Universe is on your side and is going to deliver the very thing you wish to manifest. It's about detaching yourself from the outcome of what you want. Instead be happy and grateful for what you have in life.
I'd love to hear your experience with manifesting quickly.

I’d like to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!
Have you got a special Valentine? That special soulmate?
I speak to many women and that’s what many express they long for - for a deep connection of love, understanding and closeness. But here’s the thing, we gotta love ourselves, become acutely aware of oneself (know oneself) and have addressed the wounds from the past. We have to then be open and on the frequency of what we want to attract. It’s a delicate act, it’s a beautiful gift when it happens.

We have to then be open and on the frequency of what we want to attract. It’s a delicate act, it’s a beautiful gift when it happens.
The woman you see in this photo is loved, deeply loved and appreciated. Not by someone else, but by the woman again you look at.
I’ve come to a place in life where I truly love myself. I am grateful for my past experiences and I’m thankful for my learnings.
The learnings have been steep and difficult and there has been many times I’ve thought, this is it.....I can’t do it anymore. I can’t allow myself to fall again, to open myself to be vulnerable, to receive love, to experience fully. But my inner voice, my spirit has always nudged me and said “you are worth it” and it will all happen when you totally surrender.
There is no rush. I’m loving getting to know me more everyday.
But I know this time now is just a transition, I love giving, I am nurturing and I love joy, connection and creativity, to build something extraordinarily beautiful.
The past is the past, I am the beautiful soul and being because of it. I’m excited about the future but more so happy and peaceful in this moment.
The unity and connection when two souls come together that were meant to be together comes together is time altering. Everything stops, the senses are highlighted. There’s a sense of peace and homecoming.
All in good time. I feel it, see it and hear it all. Wow! Amazing.
I for now sit in the space of love for myself, for the woman I am, have become and will be. It’s a nice place to be this Valentine’s Day in paradise.
Know that you are never alone.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING THIS VALENTINE'S DAY?
Post your thoughts in comments. Sharing is Caring!
Much Love
Karin xx
