Lean For Life

Have you got a compelling reason to change? We all suffer with lack of motivation from time to time, and in fact for many it’s the number one reason why they say they can’t get into the health and fitness that they desire. You lose your way when you lose your why. We all have great intentions to get into shape but to get to our goal we all need a compelling reason to get us there. The right carrot will pull us forward so that rather than feeling like it’s a lot of hard work, we’ll happily do the work to get there. In this episode, we explore the importance of having a deep big why, how you can begin to uncover it and use it to sustain your motivation and perseverance toward your goal.Contact us and find out more on our website:http://www.leanforlifepodcast.com.au Join our free community group on facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/leanforlifepodcast/Find out more about Miranda Marriott: https://www.pliable.com.auFind out more about Kirsten Jones: https://www.kirstenjones.com.au

You’ve probably heard that we are the product of the 5 people that we hang out with the most. When it comes to getting in shape, mentally and physically who we surround ourselves with is key, as well as getting the support of those closest to us. Join us in this episode where we discuss the different members who can make up your support network and how to work with them to help you get your best results.Contact us and find out more on our website:http://www.leanforlifepodcast.com.au Join our free community group on facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/leanforlifepodcast/Find out more about Miranda Marriott: https://www.pliable.com.auFind out more about Kirsten Jones: https://www.kirstenjones.com.au

We become what we believe about ourselves. There are so many stories that we tell ourselves, that hold us back from getting what we want. We may say ‘we’re too old’, ‘lazy’, busy’ or ‘unwanted’. We may believe we are ‘unattractive’, ‘not sporty enough’, ‘we never get what we want,’ or ‘it’s too hard’. These thoughts get in the way of living in a healthy way and from getting the health results that we are after. In this episode we explore the power of our beliefs, how we can identify limiting stories that are holding us back and replace them with empowering ones that can help us move forward.Contact us and find out more on our website:http://www.leanforlifepodcast.com.au Join our free community group on facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/leanforlifepodcast/Find out more about Miranda Marriott: https://www.pliable.com.auFind out more about Kirsten Jones: https://www.kirstenjones.com.au

Fluctuating motivation is a common problem for most of us. On Monday we wake up with the strong resolve to be healthy, and by morning tea time, when the birthday cake at the office party and cheese comes along, our old motivation goes out the window! Do you find that your motivation fluctuates all the time between resolve and can’t be bothered? Maybe just in the space of one day, or maybe over weeks or months. Our challenges can be from motivating ourselves to exercise, to procrastination, to trying to be more patient, or whatever it may be, we could all benefit from improving our understanding of motivation. In this episode we delve into the idea of motivation, how to find it, build it, maintain it and what else we may be able to rely on, so we don’t need to put so much emphasis on motivation and willpower all of the time!Contact us and find out more on our website:http://www.leanforlifepodcast.com.au Join our free community group on facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/leanforlifepodcast/Find out more ab

Stress is our brain and body’s natural response to threat. We all experience it, and there are good types of stress but too much stress can wreak havoc on our health wellbeing, work and relationships. In this episode we shed some light on the topic of stress, what it is and how to manage it better to feel more on top of yourself and all that life throws at you. Stress doesn’t need to hurt you or your life by leading you to over-eat, having no time for exercise, gaining weight and increasing mental/physical health problems like it so often causes in our lives. If you apply these tools to better understand and manage your stress then you can maintain calmness, balance, stay aligned to your values and achieve your health goals.Contact us and find out more on our website:http://www.leanforlifepodcast.com.au Join our free community group on facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/leanforlifepodcast/Find out more about Miranda Marriott: https://www.pliable.com.auFind out more about Kirsten Jones: https://www.kirste

Self-sabotage is one of the biggest hurdles we face in attempting to achieve our goals and creating the life that we want for ourselves. Have you found yourself stuck on the hamster wheel of committing to a course of action, to eating healthier, to exercising more regularly, to putting an end to comfort eating, to losing weight and maintaining that shape but never getting anywhere? Perhaps you’ve recognised a pattern of getting in your own way, interfering with your progress and backtracking. It is like one part of you wants to move forward and another part wants to stay right where you are. In this episode we discuss this harmful and often infuriating issue of self-sabotage.
