I deliver self awareness and self confidence training and it literally blows people away.  It is because I am and always have been passionate about helping people.

Basically without taking action nothing ever changes, for example; fitness, weight, health, employment and relationships.  Some people suggest "constantly doing the same things and expecting change is madness".  Yet this is what people do.

I love this saying and use it daily at work to emphasise that action is essential for a change in life style.

"IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS GOT".  Basically if your life is stuck life is stuck, then taking action must be your only action.

There is a massive self confidence shortage in the UK and I am hoping to help a little with these tips.  I help shy, anxious and nervous people every day and assist the into being their best selves.
​BECAUSE its just a process after all.

Cultivated confidence or lack there off has been caused to you and by you.  Perhaps negative self talk telling you can't do it or others always telling you that you can't do something has sunk in.
So if you listen to the negativity and start believing that you can't do something....You're right.

"What ever you believe you're right"

The good news is, if you start building a positivity habit and reframing negatives into positives and adopting confidence hacks daily not only can you change you will....   
It is like a confidence snowball.

​
"THESE TIPS WILL WORK IF YOU FOLLOW THEM SERIOUSLY"

.....Basically our cultivated lack of self confidence can be reprogrammed and cultivated for huge self confidence with time.  For example think of the shy, nervous anxious recruits that join the Army and then 12 weeks later after basic training these recruits have grown physically and mentally beyond all recognition by family and friends.  Conditioned to believe in themselves, simple really.  WE CAN ALL DO IT -WE CAN ALL BE MORE CONFIDENT-TRULY.

Good luck trying these techniques for some extra inspiration watch this  .....

I listen to loads of morning motivation on the way into work, Robbins, Goggins, Sinek etc  and this ensures that every morning I am buzzing, motivated and confident to deal with a normal day training people.  

One common theme that all the experts agree is that you need to constantly take action (progression)  to be happy and/ or successful.  When I think of my happiest times I am doing lots of stuff and constantly taking action.  When I think of my lowest times I am sitting and overthinking.

If motivation or mindset is your barrier then I can help, I understand the mindset battle more then most and I have developed strategies that can  actually help someone change and become a better more confident version of themselves.

Don't let injuries de-rail your fitness

So bit of a tear of the distal bicep whilst sat in the garden playing with the dogs.  New one even for me, I have torn both ankle ligaments badly numerous time, thumb badly and shoulder but never my arms.

What I have learned over decades of coaching fitness, adventure activities and sports rehab is we can learn from everything.  


Often a small tear or injury we can get back to be even stronger if we take timely actions like:

1. Timely actions like ;
2. RICE (rest - ice - compression - elevation).
3. Soon as feel as though you can, breaking down scar tissue, with your fingers.
4. Warm up areas around injury to keep blood flow to the area, touch the area often for the same reason.
5. Don't lose your movement - as soon as you can, carefully and safely try and use your full range of movement.
6. Continue steps 3 & 4 and then add resistance, bands initially, then plated machines slowly.
7. After you have added enough weight on the plates to build muscle, then move back to free weights.

Most off all which ever area of section of your body is injured, exercise every other part through out your rehab.  This will make your life better and happier, also your rehab time shorter.

​Good luck

This is something my new boss said to me recently, I decided to do a normal job as well as health coaching.  Its all linked in, I help people now with health coaching, rehab, mindset and caring as a PA and now I will also help job seekers find meaningful employment.

So yes I will be super busy, but its amazing, I have more energy drive and motivation even with working extra hours helping job seekers.

Its all congruent to my values, the Army was not always congruent to my values, so not really helping people too much.  An amazing job, but never aligned to my personal values.

Helping people is, below is my typical week:

• Caring PA
• Sports therapy and complex issues
• Holistic personal training
• Employment advisor
• Multi adventure coach

"so yes give a busy man more work"

• Interestingly as soon as i applied for another related helping job I had an influx of clients.
• So if you would like help in life, we all do ... me too, get in touch
