Many do not achieve their goals for a few reasons:
- you have set a goal that is not in alignment with your highest values
- you have set unrealistic time frame for your goal
- you have not dedicated daily actions towards your goal
- you have not set rituals and routines in place to remind you about your goals and your actions
- the goals are too vague

As you start 2021 - which is your issue preventing you from achieving your goals? 

Let me know so I can guide you or hold you accountable to your goals.

We are open officially tomorrow; we hope you had a restful start to 2021.

I went for a forest run; what did you do on Jan 1st?

.

Take care of your spine.

Remember in weight management the output has to match the input...that is to say you need to exercise more than you eat. 

Despite popular demand, Christmas eating is not valued at half the calories so make sure you keep your exercise high over the festive season!

I think I got it 💥 the more you keep checking your perceived reality with reality .... the more you remain in the moment 🎉..... I think when your perceived reality is not regularly checked against reality you overfill and things become unmanageable both psychologically and physically - the trick is to not ignore the body’s signs cos it’s telling you way before your mind become unmanageable. Your mind/ thoughts can be (or are) causing the dis-ease 💃🏼💃🏼

I got this message from a patient - I love the light bulb moments that guide you forward on your personal journey to the level of health and Happyness you desire...what light bulbs have turned on for you recently?

Please take note - the practice will be officially closed on Saturday the 19th of December. 

However; with EXCITEMENT Dr T will be back on the 18th of December and will be seeing patients by request until the 23rd of December. 

Please call the office tomorrow to schedule your last spinal check for 2020. 

The practice will re-open January 11th 2021.

A great way to activate your energy 1st thing in the morning (without coffee!) is to have protein. 

Protein has a great way of increasing your metabolism.

Here is some great recipes - https://www.healthline.com/health/12-high-protein-breakfasts#The-bottom…

A great way of determining how your body functions is by determining how effectively you eliminate...we have 5 normal means of elimination: 
- defecation
- urination
- sweating
- breathing 
- tears

Are you eliminating through all means daily?

When last did you take time to rest and relax? What do you do to rest and relax? 

What calms your mind and your body?

We have a video on our YouTube channel about this; please teach it to your children...they will be the most influenced by it in the long term

Can you feel your current internal physiological state? 

Think of it as you would the ocean;
Either 
- flat calm
- rolling waves but calm
- rolling waves and unpredictable
- choppy
- raging storm

There are two controlling forces for the body neurologically - the sympathetic nervous system which engages your ability to be alert but also your stress response. The parasympathetic nervous system which engages your ability to rest, digest, recuperate and heal. 

Now in everyday life there are activities that facilitate (switch on) either the sympathetic or parasympathetic and there are activities that inhibit (switch off) either one. 

Think about it for a moment...
You can have one switched on and one switched off. 
You can have both switched on. 
You can have both switched off. 

It helps to think about it in terms to accelerator and brake of a car...
Pushing either the accelerator or the break
Pushing both at the same time
Cruising down the hill but neither your accelerator nor break work. 

During your daily activities; what are you switching on and what are you switching off?

December holidays are coming up...whether you going away or staying at home do you know how to holiday so you can recuperate and start 2021 in a better state? 

It does not matter even if you take one day off; you will need to know these skills...message me directly
