Transformation – What Does It Take?

Transformation – What Does It Take?
I was making reasonable income at my job.
I dreaded Sunday nights.
I felt tired and stressed.
I was a carbohydrate junkie and had trouble sleeping.
I had forgotten to dream.
I felt trapped.
Some people call it the golden handcuffs. Addicted to being paid just enough to keep me at a job sacrificing my quality of life.
The fear of change paralysed me and for many years I plodded on.
However, I hit a wall of burn-out.
I felt overwhelmed, fearful, hopeless. My life was in chaos and tatters.
I had reached a point that I knew:
If things were going to change…..it was up to me to change.
What is it that you want to achieve in your life?
I knew if I got another job there was no security and the same stresses.
I wanted flexibility in my time.
I wanted to positively contribute to the world and positively impact the lives of countless numbers of other people.
I was so grateful I was introduced to an online business…and I knew the future will be online.
I now have time flexibility.
We enjoy the healthiest version of ourselves.
We live our passion and delight in helping as many people as we can design their lives and live their passion.
What lifestyle do you want for you?

My Health Defining Moment – Why Do We Take Health for Granted?
My Mother and Father
My defining moment was when I experienced the pain of watching my mother suffer from a heart attack and the utter terror and fear of losing her in that moment.
When my mother was 46 years of age, a leading heart specialist said to her “Do you know you can drop dead any minute”. She looked him in the eye and said “Did you know that you can too”. The irony of the story is that the doctor that spoke with her died of a heart attack within 6 months in his forties. The difference being that she knew she had a heart condition and he didn’t.
I had been trained at a very early age (aged four) to call an ambulance if anything was awry with my mother as everyone appreciates the first symptom of a heart attack can be fatal.
I would pray to God not to take my mother while I was young. I prayed to at least leave her with us (4 children in the family and I was the youngest child) until I was 16 and could look after myself.
Rheumatic fever had indeed weakened my mother’s heart but THANKFULLY, she knew she was responsible for her own health and taught us the same way and she changed everything in her life….her diet…her daily choices of what she ate….she refused anything with white flour and white sugar, and introduced a daily walking exercise program into her life, and reduced her stress.
Due to her simple lifestyle changes and exercise program, she lived until 91 (and died while talking with my two sisters) and my father died aged 96.
Interestingly, she went to the funeral of four of her cardiologists in her life journey.
Her journey and her suffering has changed everything in me. Firstly, I was raised on the importance of healthy eating, fitness, and taking high-grade nutritional supplements and what role they play in prevention of lifestyle diseases. I was also raised on the importance of a spiritual life. I am ever so grateful for this foundation.
My heart aches when I see so many lifestyle diseases and will do everything in my power through education and empowerment of others to do something about it.
They say the fear of loss is the greatest motivator to take action.
Just imagine for a second what would be taken away from you if you, or someone in the family, became debilitated from a lifestyle disease such as a heart attack or a stroke.
Hence, why my unwavering passion for health for everyone and my unwavering passion for education about feeding your cells exactly what they need on a daily basis (along with a good diet and exercise) so your health can benefit.
How valuable is your health? Do you do everything you can to prevent the diseases of our modern lifestyle in your body?
A healthy, happy life is within reach for us all.

Tips To Improve Your Digestive Health
How would it make you feel if you woke up energetic, you looked younger, your skin was more radiant?
What would that be worth to you?
In my own journey, when I worked in an office, driving to work each day, sitting at a computer for most of the day, driving home, sitting again to relax, my weight crept up over time. 1 kilo here, 1 kilo there, 1 kilo extra over time. I had become a carbohydrate junkie. A muffin with a coffee break for a quick pick-me-up at morning tea etc.
I remember going to my doctor at one stage and she said it would be a good idea to manage my weight. I returned one year later and I was the same weight.
I then realized there was more to it than meets the eye.
I started my research and learnt much more about low-glycemic foods to eat and sourced a science-based program.
The most important part for me was to reverse weight creep, to reduce abdominal fat around my middle and around my vital organs, and transform my eating habits.
I started a program and joined in the incentives and was one of several winners in a weight management challenge to reduce 3% of my weight over 1 week and 9 weeks later was one of several winners to reduce 5% of my weight.
I now coach people how to have a healthy lifestyle.
I am incredibly thankful to offer a science-based approach to weight management.

Why Do People Get Stuck In A 45 Year Job?
I grew up surrounded by the philosophy of go to school, get good grades so you can go to university and get a good job.
One of the main reasons I worked during my life was to earn an income to pay for all the things that I needed or wanted. I enjoy traveling a lot which comes at a cost. I also wanted to pay off my home and live my dreams, follow my passions, and have a life full of adventure.
The concept of becoming an entrepreneur and having a number of ways of earning an income appealed – especially income that we could leverage from our efforts rather than our time.
Work Smart
If a CEO of a company earns a $1 million a year, and a gardener earns $10,000 a year, does this mean that the CEO works 100 times harder? Did the CEO put in 100 times more hours a week?
I doubt if a CEO can work a 400 hour week. Why is it that some people earn much more than others? Everyone still has 24 hours in the day.
Develop Ways To Provide More Service
The CEO has found ways to provide more service, to be more efficient…..ways to lead others to more productivity. In other words, the CEO produces more value in the same allocated time.
If we wish to earn more, we must find ways of working smarter.
Build A Pipeline
If I needed a one-mile-ditch excavated, and was willing to pay $10,000, you could apply for the job.
You could take a trusty shovel and begin digging. At the end of one year the ditch would be completed. For that one-mile ditch, I would then pay $10,000 because you have performed $10,000 worth of service.
On the other hand, a friend of yours could apply for the job. Your friend then rents a ditch-digging machine for $100 and finishes the ditch in one day. Has he also provided $10,000 worth of service?
Who worked smart and who worked hard?
Working for someone else is working hard, and having your own part-time business is working smart.
A Better Way To Be Empowered
A young mother decides to get a full-time job to pay the many bills that come with raising a family.
There are many sacrifices she must make:
1. She will be away from the house for 8 – 10 hours a day. Housework and meals will suffer.
2. The children will no longer have the advantage of a full-time mother at home.
3. She will miss the wonderful experience of helping the children develop.
4. There is less quality time with her family, as evenings are spent catching up on household duties.
5. But in return for these sacrifices, she finds a job paying $5,000 a month. Does she have financial empowerment? After deductions, what is she really earning, and at what cost?
Starting your own home-based, low cost, no risk business is a better way to be empowered, and have flexibility in your time.

Having A Healthy Balance In Life
It is wonderful to have swims in the ocean and long talks and walks on the beach and coffee catch ups with friends whenever I choose to.
To assist me with my exercise program, my daily ritual is to ensure I have my top-of-the-range nutritionals, eat nutritious fruits, protein, and eat a wide range of vegetables.
I like to be in optimum health (body, mind, and spirit) at all times so I can live life in happiness and health and travel to fabulous destinations.
How about you?
