Receiving disability benefits?
This issue comes up a lot. People who are clearly having daily challenges NOT being eligible for benefits because they “don’t look sick”. Or the fear of being caught having a good time on social media and getting a call from your local benefits officer to take back some of the money you’ve gotten in …
Eustress vs Distress (Good vs Bad)
Hi Folks, What’s the biggest stress in your life? Stress is often seen as a bad thing, and rightly so but it’s not always bad. Allow me to elaborate.

Is anyone REALLY happy with their body?
“I’m happy with the way I look” “I don’t want to change my physique. I just want to get fitter” These are quotes I hear on a regular basis. Both of them interest me somewhat. Take me, for example. I’m certainly not overweight. Most people would consider me to be in fairly good shape. Some …

When the going gets tough…
Word up, folks…you might like this. I’ve been working remotely with a client for the past 8 weeks or so. We’ll call her “Sally” for privacy’s sake. Sally has been following my plans to a T!! Checking in over the phone every week, following the nutrition plan, exercise programmes and as a result she’s seen …
Feeling Fatigued? Why don’t you just sleep it off? lol – i’m kidding!!!
Howdy folks, Isn’t it annoying when people don’t understand that you can’t simply “sleep off” your fatigue? You’re probably tired (excuse the pun) of people saying things like “maybe you need to do a bit more exercise” or “maybe you need to lose a bit of weight” or even the classic “maybe you need more …
