25.01.2022 Are you a people pleaser? With your time, energy and actions? - All too often I meet people who struggle to take ownership of their life and be more responsible for themselves because they can’t fight the urge of wanting to please others. - You may unconsciously do this by ... - Struggling to say no to people who ask you to do things. - Say yes and take on more workload at work when you mentally can’t fit more in. - Agree to go to binge drink or eat because They offered it to me I couldn’t say no or They ordered it and I had to eat it. - You do not need to set yourself on fire to keep others warm. - Trying to please people (especially people who don’t mean shit to you) may not be serving your goals and the life you want. - It’s your responsibility to say No and say it because you know it’s best for you! - Rather then saying Yes.. just to make others feel comfortable or to avoid confrontation. - Being responsible is finding the courage to be yourself, and to do what is best for YOU! - #ChannelEarth See more

25.01.2022 With the absence of quality sleep our life in all aspects only gets harder and shorter. - Simple tips to improve your sleep - Expose yourself to early morning sunlight.... Take time throughout the day to practice stillness and thought processing. Switch all electronic devices to filter out blue light 4 hours prior to bed. Avoid electronic devices 1-2 hours before bed. Use candles and soft dimmed lamps. Have a warm bath/Shower before bed. Have a warm/cold shower if feeling highly stressed. Journal and write your thoughts down on paper performing a brain dump. Play sleep music prior to bed. Meditate before bed. - When thoughts arise before sleep or during the night, meditation will improve your ability to allow thoughts to pass without adding further meaning to them. - People commonly keep themselves up to to racing thoughts and noisy heads. - With meditation your ability to notice thoughts and allow them to simply pass without creating a long story that drags on for hours and hours is another skill that will certainly improve your sleep. More in depth sleep info to come. Now go unwind. - #ChannelEarth See more

23.01.2022 It’s the end of an era! - After 9 years of working in commercial gyms in the Sydney CBD today was my last day! - I’ve had the amazing opportunity to work with a wide range of clientele from CEO’s, business owners and entrepreneurs to uni students and hospitality staff.... - I remember that first day I started as a PT I was nervous AF and shitting bricks going into my first session. - I kinda feel the same way now entering into the next stage of my career and life. - All it’s telling me is amazing things are coming and stepping out of your comfort zone is gangsta AF and leads to nothing but amazing experiences, knowledge and people you meet along the way! - I ain’t leaving the beach for a while! HEALTH HOUSE 2020 LETS DO THIS! - #ChannelEarth See more

23.01.2022 ArE yOu ReAdY fOr SuMmEr?? - Summer is that time of the year when everyone gets excited for the social gatherings, weather and holidays. - But for many (many many) it’s a time of feeling a deep anxiety and low self worth due to not feeling enough.... - It’s when the state of our physical bodies is brought to further attention Omg I’m not in good enough shape. - It’s when our relationship with food is highly tested Omg all these social events going to be eating so much shit this isn’t good. - It’s when we begin to try on our summer clothes again Omg these clothes don’t fit like they used to. - What happens when people start feeling anxious and experiencing low self esteem? Well that’s when they are easily taken advantage of. - By f*ck knows how many 6-12 week fat blasting shred programs designed to - Feed into your desperation Give you a short term solution that doesn’t last Further reinforce your negative relationship with training/dieting Gotta cut out all the shit in my diet and overly train myself now Doesn’t teach you gradual habitual change therefore only putting you back into the poor physical/mental state you were in before.. - And people go through this loop for years... every f*cking summer doing some extreme diet/program that doesn’t teach them anything about sustainability! - If you’re sick of going through this cycle then it’s time to follow a customised system that allows you to find balance that you can maintain FOREVER! - #ChannelEarth See more

22.01.2022 This is Alex and he’s 8 years old. My mate who’s apart of my band. - We both noticed we were getting thirsty while jamming on this cracker day today. - So he asked me You want a Icey pole? A Zuper Duper?.... - I was like Man I haven’t had one of those since I was like a kid... fuken oath I’ll have one. (Probably shouldn’t have sworn but whatever he’s a kid he’s going to hear it at some point). - It was awesome sharing that moment with him, it really brought me back to my childhood of having icey poles in the hot Aussie weather with friends and family. - At the moment I think people are overly demonising foods and even though the intention is good in their mind to draw themselves away from sugar or bad foods. - All it’s doing is creating a negative relationship with food and taking away all the enjoyment out of it. - Yes there’s a lot of high calorie foods around us. I agree their shouldn’t be as much as there is in our faces. But while we work on the food corporations selling it to us less, we need to work on ourselves and be responsible at the same time. - When you enjoy it guilt free you’re more likely to be content with what you’ve eaten and move on with it being apart of a balanced diet. - But when you restrict those foods completely, and use language like THATS GOT SUGAR THATS BAD. - That leads to craving, which leads to binging.. because you say things like I haven’t eaten them all week I’ve been good or I should eat as much as I can now because I won’t be able to eat it in a long time. - Let’s teach our kids and ourselves good language around creating a positive relationship with food. - Because you can be 100% healthy and function well while enjoying some things you enjoy from time to time GUILT FREE. - #ChannelEarth See more

19.01.2022 Check out my online client @discovering.this.jess progress so far! - Jess came to me after losing 45kgs. She was doing excessive amounts of cardio and under eating meaning that her - Energy levels were very low... Wasn’t building much muscle Wasn’t eating foods she enjoyed Developed a negative relationship with food - She was confused where to go next after losing the weight.. (A place where ALOT of people who lose weight get to after using a method that isn’t sustainable). - She knew she didn’t feel right, and was worried she was going to lose control and gain all the weight back. That’s when she asked for help! We focused on - Structured weights training Reverse Dieting (gradually increasing calories slowly) Reintroducing different foods into her diet (She was too scared to eat out at restaurants while losing weight). Improving her relationship with food and herself. Celebrating her wins and working on removing any judgement, perfectionist and fear of failure self sabotaging mindsets! - This is taking healing to another level. It’s not just about fat loss and muscle gain here. It’s a complete full mind, body and spirit transformation. - #ChannelEarth See more

19.01.2022 Environmental systems are all either taking or giving energy. If the systems you’re in are doing nothing but taking energy from you then it’s time to become aware and transfer yourself into systems that serve you better. - #ChannelEarth

18.01.2022 Ownership. Responsibility. Wow. What a way to speed up the transcendence toward achieving your goals. - Im so spiritual I know right. - Anyways, if you still got ... - Work Lack of time Social events Etc etc.. As your answer. - Cool.. that’s a good start. But eventually once you see that you’ve decided the entire time to - Overwork yourself from your high expectations and perfectionism. - Over schedule yourself leaving no time to spend on yourself and your health. - Blaming your friends for the reason why you over drink, over eat etc - They bought it for me I had to go It’s rude not to eat. - Once you own that like.. Hey it’s actually me all along then BANG! - That’s when the BIG THINGS start elevating into the highest outreach of the universe!! - #ChannelEarth See more

15.01.2022 Change your language. Change your mindset. Change your life. - Getting stuck in these language loops will only create a negative relationship with food.... - You want to become healthier, happier, and nothing but a better version of yourself!Sabotaging yourself with this mindset will only make it harder for you to achieve that. - #ChannelEarth @ North Bondi See more

15.01.2022 Learn a couple of handy tips I use with all my clients - (Plus how to take a cheesy photo with a fruit & veggie board). - Any questions? The message option is available for you to use anytime. ... - #ChannelEarth See more

14.01.2022 Going inside is just as important as working on the outside. - Outside work will improve your state. Therefore in many cases making them stronger and calmer to be able to go and work on the inside. - Or, in many cases. People go straight on the inside once they’ve reached their absolute lowest points.... - Some people never go inside.. which is why you get people who look ‘happy & successful’ but hey.. clearly are not. - I see both important in conjunction. Normalising inside deep work is fundamental in our society. It’s not common but it’s a very very normal part of being human. - #ChannelEarth See more

14.01.2022 A one size fits all approach to your health & fitness? It’s a yeah nah from me.. - And yes.. this post is directed to the hordes of people doing home HIIT workouts, F45, generic training/meal plans and fad diets. - Firstly: It’s amazing that you’ve taken action toward your health & fitness, let’s just sus out whether the methodology you’re using will suit you for the long term..... - A one size fits all approach is like chucking a bunch of random people into the same job and expecting them all to last and enjoy working there coz This will make you all money . - Everyone is at a different level. Not just with their fitness level and diet.. but with their overall HABITS. - Generic methodologies will jam pack a whole bunch of things for you to do at once. - A customised approach will have you gradually building habits in all areas of sleep, stress, nutrition and training. This approach pays respect to how you will gradually change over time forming a lifestyle that suits you. - This isn’t to say that your ENTIRE plan needs to be 100% customised. That’s just another extreme of the spectrum. - You can totally implement generic components into your training plan like Yoga, Group classes, sports into your plan along with your step target & training program. That works sweet as and keeps you doing things you enjoy. - And as for the fad diets.. f*ck me don’t get me started. If you can honesty tell yourself I can’t see myself doing this diet for the long term. Then it is NOT FOR YOU. - #ChannelEarth See more

12.01.2022 PORTION CONTROL - One thing I notice whenever people are trying to lose weight is the ridiculously small meals they think they need to have for the meal to be healthy. - Meal size does not depict calorie density... - What that means is that just because food quantity is bigger then something else it doesn’t mean it’s got more calories. - Example: Nut bars, smoothies, sweets, oils etc can be small in amounts but they are higher in calories compared to fruits, vegetables and lean meats which can have a larger serving size. - When you’re trying to lose weight, regulating your appetite is important. It prevents cravings, low energy levels, snacking and eating things you didn’t plan on eating. - Filling up your plate with a generous amount of whole foods will keep you feeling fuller for longer for the amount of calories is in it. - So it’s wise to enjoy more food and not feel bad because there’s a lot of food on your plate (especially if it’s all quality stuff!) - My advice for meal portions - Half a plate of fibrous vegtebalez Quarter plate of a protein source Quarter plate of a carb source - Men have a large dinner plate size. Women have a smaller dinner plate size. - A good start is for those portions to consist of 70-80% of your meals. - You’ll feel fuller, more energised, not as restricted, less snacky and in a great position to start modifying your diet to keep you progressing. - Any further questions? Send me a message. See more

12.01.2022 Charles all you must eat is healthy vegetables I bet you never eat shit I couldn’t eat the way you do it’s way too healthy I love my pizza You’re a PT you shouldn’t be eating that I wish I was as motivated as you to eat healthy ... - All of the above comments state that a person has a negative relationship with food. - It’s like being in a toxic relationship with a person only it’s with you and one of the most enjoyable things on the planet. FOOD! - When you associate foods with good and bad you are more likely to trigger guilt immediately after consuming something like pizza. - When the guilt takes away the pleasure, you aren’t as content with what you’ve eaten so you crave it more. - When you crave it more you create an even worse relationship with food to deter you away from it further, or you over eat on it which activates more guilt.. (this cycle continues). - Food is food. They all have a certain amount of calories and nutrients in them. Some keep you fuller for longer. Some hit the reward centres of your brain harder. - You can have them all, life is meant to be enjoyed. And food is such an important part of enjoying life. - Here’s the secret. It’s all about being responsible and managing your food. (No way right?!) - Once you learn how to interstate this into your life. Food won’t be your best friend and worst enemy. Food will just be food! - #ChannelEarth See more

12.01.2022 This was pretty cool. Along my hike yesterday one of my followers came up-to me and asked me for a photo. I’m an instagram celebrity omg look at me. - But srsly it was an amazing feeling knowing that the message I’m pushing is actually being listened to. - Before I started posting. I used to have a negative relationship with social media. ... - It’s disconnecting people It’s creating unfair social comparisons It’s taking people away from Mother Nature Just another way for people to get a hit of dopamine numbing their unresolved issues - They were all limiting beliefs. I knew if I wanted to reach and help more people I needed to start making silly videos of me wearing a wig (it was the only way) . - In honesty I knew I couldn’t control how many people had their heads buried in their phones. But I could control a part of what they saw on that screen. - Rather than complaining about it I decided to start pushing a message of connecting with each other, improving your health and spending more time in nature. - And I think it’s starting to catch on a little bit nice meeting you trust that it was while experiencing an amazing show of CHANNEL EARTHHope to bump into you all soon. - #ChannelEarth See more

11.01.2022 What I want you to do is notice every time you say I can’t before ANYTHING relating to your goals. - I can’t get my steps higher I can’t find time to go gym I can’t stop eating... I can’t do this right now I just can’t sleep earlier I can’t get a good nights sleep I can’t say no to my friends - The more you notice it, the more self aware and mindful you become. - When you notice that you’re saying it to others or to yourself in your own head. - Do yourself a favour and create some space. Just have a silent moment, and acknowledge how illogical you sound saying that you can’t do something that isn’t impossible. - #ChannelEarth See more

10.01.2022 Amazing changes from my client. - Along with the obvious physical changes, the biggest transformation I can see is the shift in his normal day to day state. - His body is screaming higher confidence and energy just by how he’s holding himself now compared to before.... - A persons posture is a lot more than just what muscles are tight and weak. It also displays a persons deep emotional state. - If an individual is tired, fatigued, drained and holding onto a lot of stress. It can show in this type of a posture. - We’ve worked together to form a program that involves movements that respect his body and putting more emphasis into recovery and reducing stress. - And it clearly worked well for him! Very proud! - #ChannelEarth See more

08.01.2022 I can’t do this it’s too confusing Now isn’t a good time for me this feels too intense I’ve got a lot on I failed this must mean I can’t do this - Drop the bullshit. Start embracing that through this journey you will feel and experience ALL OF THE ABOVE.... - Perfectionists People who fear failure People who are not in touch with their emotions and get scared of them when they arise. - Get ready to break away from the parts of you that aren’t serving you. - Accept the journey for what it is. - This is how change and growth occurs. If you do not go through this process of being confused at times, uncomfortable and wanting to go back to what’s more comfortable (but not fulfilling) and only beat yourself up every time you fail rather than learn from it. - You won’t change. - #ChannelEarth See more

07.01.2022 Do you feel unproductive when you try and perform your hobbies? - I never thought when I became a PT that suggesting my clients perform hobbies will be an important part of them reaching their goals. - Here’s why ... - Client is over worked. Client is finding it hard to sleep well. Clients stress is a overflowing. Client is emotionally eating. Client is struggling to reach their goals. - We can identify here in this so common situation that I’ve come across thousands of times. - That the client is spending a lot of time stressing and not enough time unwinding. - What do we do? Tell the client to chill? Relax? Take some magnesium to sleep? - How about suggesting something that puts them in the moment. - Music, Art, Dance, Singing, Hiking, Sports, yoga, surfing.. (endless options here). - Where the fuck did all the hobbies go straight out? - You ask someone what their hobby is now they say shopping? Wtf kind of hobby is that. - You know why? Because everyone thinks hobbies are a waste of time. - The value of putting ourselves in the moment is lowering with things that take abit more effort compared to mindless mind numbing social media scrolling, eating food or drinking alcohol. - If you don’t our value on how important that stimulated activity of a hobby is for your mental health. - Then it won’t be long until you’re struggling to manage what’s going on in your head and how it’s impacting your goals. - #ChannelEarth See more

07.01.2022 The day you don’t want to is the day you most need to - These are the most valuable moments for us. Where we come head to head with the parts of our personality that hold us back from reaching our goals. - Picture your personality like a business. Everyone has a different business structure that functions in its own way. ... - In your business personality you’ll have some workers that just run around light fires and cause nothing but f*king drama for your business and all the other staff. - If you want your business to run smoothly and handle things when shit hits the fan in the most optimal way possible. - Then be the boss! Take ownership for YOU! Begin to pick apart the dodgy workers, put them in line, replace them or get rid of them completely! - So you can DO The things that will produce results even when you don’t want to. - #ChannelEarth See more

07.01.2022 The quality of your life is the quality of the day to day state that you’re in. - Tired? Stressed? Anxious? Fatigued? Low fitness levels? Unhappy? - Why do tennis players try and play centre court? So they can move left and right when they need to.... - That’s their core state. And it increases the overall quality of their game. - Your core state is necessary to deal with whatever comes your way in life. - The more balanced your core state is both physically and mentally, then the better you will be at coping with reality. - Reality such as - Raising children Managing stressful situations Levelling up in your career Healing from sickness/injury Building a business - Can be coped with better by being in a better quality core state during your day to day life. - Happier! Stronger! Fitter! Energetic! Grateful! Content! Fulfilled! - Improve your position on the court and you will improve your life. - #ChannelEarth See more

06.01.2022 We often hear the word sacrifice in the fitness industry. - Meaning - To give up (something valued) for the sake of other considerations.... - I think if majority of people think they need to give up something they value they will be deterred to even start. - A lot of fat loss methods do create a complete sacrifice. This is often unsustainable and the only people who can often sustain them develop eating disorders. - You don’t need to SACRIFICE your diet to get results you need to MANAGE your diet to get results. - Notice how much better that word makes you feel. Manage. - Start to use that word a lot more, it will create more responsibility around reducing the amount of higher calorie meals you’re consuming, rather than trying to instantly cut them all out completely. - #ChannelEarth See more

Wouldn’t be possible without everyone who likes, shares, messages me, attends my classes and continues to support the work I’m doing. - To all my spiritual gangsters, keep representing. This big movement has only just begun! - #ChannelEarth #BondiHealthHouse

03.01.2022 Check out the progress on Elvis - After a few months he has packed on a lot of muscle, quicker, more agile and co-ordinated. - Over the past few months he’s made a lot of ‘mistakes’.... - He’s fallen, ran in the wrong direction, jumped and not reached his target many times. - Now let’s compare this to fitness shall we, what would some humans do in this situation? - Oh I missed my target.. no point to try anymore (perfectionist). - Oh this other dog Dre is a lot faster and co-ordinated than me it’s not fair.(Comparison). - I shouldn’t play.. there’s no point I’ll never be that good (Fear of failure). - Im not motivated and positive enough to play (even though play will make me feel more positive) so no point I’ll do it next week. (Procrastination). - Fortunately for Elvis he’s a dog and doesn’t create bullshit stories in his own mind that hold him back from progressing. He just does it. - Be more like a dog Or better A responsible human who takes ownership of how they are the only ones holding themselves back with their current mindset. - #ChannelEarth See more

03.01.2022 Failure is never a lack of resources, it’s a lack of resourcefulness - Take a moment to think about what you want. How do you want to feel, look, perform and move through life? - Identify what areas you’re struggling with. It could be your diet, training, recovery, mindset, relationship with food etc.... - If you’re actually doing this right now, congratulations, you’re Fucken amazing. You’re actually using social media to benefit you. - Now! You have directed a level of focus toward what you want and what needs to change to help you get to where you want to be! - Your brain uses up more energy than any other organ in your body! So wherever your focus goes energy flows. - Have you ever thought about something, then almost instantly you saw it! (That’s because you were focusing on it, so you just noticed it more in reality ) - This is the same with changing your life. Focus on what you want, what needs to change and you’ll begin noticing the resources that have always been around you! - In fact there’s more physical and mental health resources around now then ever before but obesity and mental health issues are still rising.. lack of resourcefulness right? - When you become resourceful and use the tools to create success you’ll be flying high baby. - P.S - I fucking love Mondays, The Health House is coming to life! - #ChannelEarth @bondihealthhouse See more

02.01.2022 It’s time to stop living unaware and unconsciously programmed in a way that’s not serving you well in life! - Take ownership and responsibility by first becoming aware of the things that need to change. - Measure it, be aware of it, manage it!... - Over time it will become programmed in you habitually, but before that you need to take massive action and create momentum. - #ChannelEarth See more

01.01.2022 Sleep deprivation is a vicious cycle. - Sleep increases stress Stress decreases sleep quality & duration ... (Cycle continues) - Sleep decreases energy levels (Human consumes caffeinated stimulants) Stimulants increase alterness and sympathetic activation for up-to 12hrs post consumption. Sleep quality & duration decreases (Cycle continues) - Some people stay in this cycle for years to the point where it becomes normal for them and they develop beliefs around it I’m good for just 6 hrs sleep I don’t need to sleep much. - Really what they don’t realise is they are in a physical & mental state that’s running at lower quality and capacity compared to if they provided themselves further sleep. - Not to mention increasing the risk of an array of diseases and illnesses.. setting themselves up for an earlier death. - Once you are running at a higher quality and capacity because you’re allowing one aspect of your health to be taken care of. Boom. Watch yourself grow into a stronger, smarter and happier human being. - #ChannelEarth See more

01.01.2022 Improve your sleep and make your life easier - Time and time again I see people trying to improve their diet but not addressing the causes of why they are struggling to improve. - Sleep being one of them. It doesn’t matter how much ‘you want it’. Fighting against your body will just lead to burn out.... - If you want it so bad, then get holistic and improve all aspects that impact your goals. Sleep is a BIG one of them. - #ChannelEarth See more
