Health = 50% how we treat the body + 50% how we think
The only way to get lasting results is to address and support both sides of the equation, where nutrition and exercise is of equal importance to the way we think and speak about our bodies and our health.
Our philosophy is that weight loss and health goals fall into place naturally and can be maintained for life if we use the right tools to understand what the body needs, and develop positive thinking patterns that are supportive.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
— Viktor E. Frankl
When it comes to our health, we all have certain things that bother us maybe stubborn weight that won’t shift, continuous stress or lack of energy. For some of us these ‘stimuli’ can be in the form of ailments and conditions: on our skin, like acne and eczema; in our digestive tract, like bloating, unexplained digestive issues or IBS; or even in the mind like depression, anxiety and sometimes just a ‘can’t be bothered’ feeling.
Often the response to these issues is frustration. Why can’t I lose the weight? Why don’t I have more energy? Why am I depressed? Why am I so stressed all the time? But every health complaint is actually a positive thing, because it is the body warning us that “something we are doing is not good for the body”.
The Body Toolkit retreats will guide you in recognising your own power to respond proactively and positively to any health or weight gripes you may have. By inviting the mind to support you and choose a positive response, and also understanding what the body really needs to thrive, you will be amazed at how genuine “growth and freedom” can be achieved in a short space of time.
