Fascinated by the power of the mind and how we can use it for our own personal growth or allow it to literally stop us in our tracks! I'll be sharing my journey of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable in fitness and how a good mindset is the key to success. As an Online Fitness Coach, Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer as well as a Wife and Mum of two I will be sharing my experiences including why I switched to being plant based 🌱 Alongside guests episodes discussing their own mindset journeys.
Available on: iTunes, Spotify, AnchorFM, Google Podcasts, Breaker and more.
This is the last episode of this current series as will be taking a podcast break for the Summer. So thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about goals having just completed my recent photoshoot - a goal that was set over 16 weeks ago!
Feel free to peruse the podcast content as there's a library of over 100 episodes spanning the topics of fitness, mindset and nutrition to choose from should you miss the weekly Thursday slot.
Goals are what we wish to achieve; specific and measurable objectives. They can be focused on the short-term or the long-term, and can be personal or professional, but the common link is that goals are what we do (or wish to do).
So I want to share a little about my photoshoot, my reasons and motivation and 6 further benefits of why you should set them!
As author Tony Robbins states: “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
1. Control/direction - It allows you to be proactive (not in auto pilot) to carve out the things you actually do want
2. Progress/ Assessment - Setting goals allows you to evaluate your life.
3. Focus. When you set your priorities, you can focus your attention on the things that align with your goal.
4. Accountability not to others, but to yourself. Will you continue to show up for your future self?
5. Inspiration/motivation - Know that all things are created twice: first in the mind, then in the physical world
6. Happiness - When you set and achieve your goals, you increase your happiness and satisfaction in life..
I hope this has been insightful if for any reason your focus has been diverted away from setting some this year. Remeber it's never too late to start!
“You need a plan to build a house. To build a life, it is even more important to have a plan or goal.” — Zig Ziglar

#3.24 Weight anomalies - My peak week
In this episode I share my peak week experience and how weight anomalies affected me despite tracking 100% and being in a calories deficit. All in all it did not go well or according to plan! However, did this make me throw in the towel....NO WAY! Did it make me feel crappy...HELL YES! Did I struggle...ABSO-F**KING-LUTELY! The way I had to frame it to myself and my Coach...I AM giving it all I can, I'm trying my best and my results will be the true reflection of that. Could things have been better...YES...but in life they rarely are and you just have to learn to 'roll' with the punches. So I did!
Stay tuned...to listen to my post photoshoot episode.

#3.23 Consistency - My Photoshoot Prep
Life is always going to deal you 'lemons' and it's uo to you to choose to make 'lemonade' with them or not! How many times have you heard the phrase...'I'll be ready when...' 'I just need to get x sorted first'... 'I'll start tomorrow, next week...' The reality is that these (whilst completely valid) are just excuses. We have to make a decision if we want those excuses (and they will be genuine...well most of them are!) to stop us, or do we just find another way! When you still with small habits and you build on them every day, it's amazing how you can find a way (to keep those habits alive). This is where the magic starts...in the very un-magical place of consistency. Showing up for yourself on a daily basis. Stay committed and focused on your goal (and even when you don't want to) you get it done. For me, this prep has been incredibly challenging and if I've wanted to throw in the towel once, then I've actually thought about it x100. However, whilst the photoshoot is like the 'medal part' of a race. It's actually the journey you've gone on is where the growth happens. I've had everything that life can throw at you, even to the point where my Coach said...'Do you want to do this?' But here's the thing, I never can know what I truly can achieve until I try (and I mean really try). So here at 49 years perimenopausal, I've shown myself that it IMPOSSIBLE is just I'M POSSIBLE if you don't give up and you stay consistent.
Stay tuned for next week where I will be sharing my journey through 'peak week' and all the thoughts, emotions and stress I've encountered. (For information purposes, the release date of this episode is a week behind where I am at). I would love to hear from you and if anything in the episode resonated. Do let me know by snapping the episode and sharing on your stories. Be sure to tag me in @NatashaBEfit and @plantbased_FM with what you took away from it. Also listen in for the next couple of shows if you want to know how it goes. Until then....keep pushing for your own dreams to become reality! Natasha x
