25.01.2022 Did you know that increasing your sleep from 5-6 hours a night to 7-8 hours can increase the cells in your body responsible for fighting of viruses? There are so many benefits to a decent night’s sleep yet there are so many of us that struggle to drift off to, and stay in, the Land of Nod for a decent length of time - myself included. Sometimes it can seem like it’s another pressure we put on ourselves to hit the target of 8 hours EVERY NIGHT. ... Join me today at 1pm for a FB Live chat about sleep, and a few tips that may help towards a better night of

23.01.2022 If you are on a farm you know that you have to move. ALOT! It's hard work & while some people love it others can feel exhausted by it all. If you love it then what is your secret? If it depletes you then what is one thing you could shift, by either mindset or physical, that would make it more enjoyable? Remember that it doesn't have to be a major shift. In fact, the smaller the better, as we are more likely to stick with it if it's realistic. What about this - ever thoug...ht about adding 5 extra minutes to your lunch break OR maybe even having a lunch break to start with You have a chance to sit down, re assess the day & then get on with it See more

23.01.2022 Let’s K.I.S.S.

20.01.2022 I wondered why my phone wouldn’t accept facial recognition This is what happens when I work from home but chose to work in the lounge instead of my office and have a 4 year old underfoot Who am I to turn down the opportunity to be Gecko for a few hours?

20.01.2022 I don’t know about you but sometimes there seems to be so much advice/stimulation/cheat sheets/plans - whatever you want to call it - that it’s hard to know who or what to listen to The husband and I were having a chat about this morning and so naturally I have decided to share mine (and his ) thoughts with you today at 12:30 Hop over to the FLF Facebook page for a live chat about the fact there is so much information about EVERYTHING available to us and how and why we should keep it simple

20.01.2022 Tasty Tuesday - Chocolate Bubble Slice This slice is made weekly in our household - there's always a container full in the fridge This time I didn't have enough Rice Bubbles so used 40 grams of Cornflakes and then added a handful of pumpkin seeds. Kiddies and I decided it was even better than the original - thumbs up - 50 grams medjool dates seed removed - 130 grams coconut oil liquid... - 120 grams rice malt syrup or honey - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract - 40 grams desiccated coconut - 1 tbsp chia seeds - 15 grams cacao powder - 160 grams Rice Bubbles or similar line a slice tin with baking paper place the dates in Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds, speed 5 scrape down the sides of the bowl and add coconut oil, rice malt syrup and vanilla. Cook for 6 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 2 add the chia seeds, cacao powder, coconut and rice bubbles and mix for 15 seconds, speed 4, reverse scrape down sides of bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, speed 4, reverse to make sure rice bubbles are covered in melted mixture transfer mixture into tin and flatten the surface with a spoon. put in the fridge for 3 hours then cut into squares So simple, delicious & packed full of goodness

19.01.2022 MANAGING UNCERTAINTY IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR If there's one thing farming & running a business has taught me it's that life is full of uncertainty! And that can be really stressful if you don't watch your mindset. Way back, Stephen Covey designed a framework reviewing your power and concerns. He defined 3 levels set within concentric circles - Circle of Control, Circle of Influence & Circle of Concern. If you are feeling stressed, try writing all of your worries on post-i...t notes and sticking them within the Circle of Concern. Then you decide whether the worry is something you can have influence over or whether you can in fact control it. Move the post-it note to the corresponding circle. If there are items sitting in the Circle of Concern, then this is a chance to acknowledge that you can't change them - eg the wool price or the weather! So give yourself permission to be aware they are a concern but you won't be able to change them by worrying. Those things within your Circle of Influence & Control - focus on them and be proactive Did you know that included in the Farm Life Fitness Tribe subscription is a free online talk delivered every 6 weeks These talks can be about anything & everything to do with health and wellness These talks are open to non-Tribe members at a cost of $15.

19.01.2022 Stay patient and trust the journey How many times have we been told slow down and enjoy the ride all good things come to those who wait... have patience slow down I would say pretty much all of us at one time or another. It doesn’t matter whether you have fitness goals, health goals, emotional goals, friendship goals..... any goals, if we move to fast and try to get to the end point to quickly we can miss so much along the way. not only that, but if we rush we can become careless and mistakes and mishaps may happen. that being said, it’s not realistic to suggest that we have time to slow down for absolutely everything in our day-to-day life, so where do we draw the line? How do we learn to accept that to grow things take time? How do we learn to accept that if we don’t always get there the first time round it doesn’t mean we’ve failed, it just means we need more time? How do we effectively and realistically learn to have patience? I’m not too sure have the ultimate answer but why not join me at 2:45pm today for a FB live where we’ll have a chat about that good ol’ ‘P’ word

17.01.2022 Exercising isn't always easy & our mind can be a tricky character sometimes - it loves to convince us to do the opposite of what we want & need to do So how do we know when it's an excuse not to exercise & we need to ignore it OR when it's a legitimate reason & we need to be smart and listen in. Often it isn't black & white and you need to make a judgement call, but remember that your mind is not always on your side. Do the test of reasonableness - what what you say to a mate in the same situation?? Chances are you should be pulling on your socks and tying up those laces

16.01.2022 Lupin choc brownies here I come!!!

15.01.2022 Our world is lazy Everyday we miss the opportunity to move. Want to move more? Then look for opportunities for incidental exercise. Checking the water trough?? Park a bit further away to get in some extra steps. Heading to town?? Don't park right outside the post office, have a little stroll into town.... Have a meeting but don't need to take notes?? Go for a walk and have a chat. How do you add in extra movement to your day See more

12.01.2022 I’m not going to lie to you - if you exercise sometimes it’s gonna hurt the next day But why though I hear you ask Because muscle soreness is actually your muscles thanking you for working out and means they are getting rebuilt stronger than before Pain is different though. That means that something isn’t quite right and it’s totally ok to stop and figure out what that it. ... Is your technique spot on? Have you given yourself enough time to recover between training? Have you actually injured yourself? There is no point being in denial about these things. Pain is your body telling you something isn’t right and you need to STOP Don’t think you are being tough or have to man up to push through the pain - this could lead to potentially causing long-term, irreversible damage to the most reliable, consentient home you will ever have - your body

11.01.2022 Let’s talk about a bit about accountability, a bit about old habits creeping back in and always pushing to the next level..... who knows where this will go

08.01.2022 Be Mindful In any industry, you’ll face challenges. Around the farm on a given day I might deal with a gate that won’t latch properly, a stubborn ewe and a fuel truck that’s running way behind schedule (and stopping me from picking the kids up from the bus on time) It’s incredibly easy to get frustrated and let a few challenges turn your day into a bad one ... I aim to be mindful about my thinking and notice the stories I’m telling myself. And reframe them when they aren’t helpful That gate? It gave me the chance to get out the Ute for a few minutes and stretch my legs (and enjoy the winter sunshine). That pesky sheep? She’s going to make someone some bloody delicious chops soon (and help our bank balance). And the fuel truck, I’m grateful they fitted us in on a super busy schedule and that our kids are pretty resourceful and will enjoy an extra ten minutes scouring the road verge looking for treasures.

07.01.2022 Well!!! What an emotional, fast paced, happy, sad, overwhelming, exciting time the past few weeks have been Mount Romance Farm is now our new place to call home and for us, as a family and business, the move was well needed and definitely the right thing to do Yes, it’s scary to start again in some ways, yes we have left some absolutely stella friends and family behind, but those people will always be there for us, and we are so humbled by their support and encou...ragement And so now, a new chapter begins for Team O’Neill. One that will not only grow our love of farming, and improve our own health and well-being but also see FLF take on some pretty exciting business ventures - one of them being health and fitness retreats this has been in the making for a long time, and we’re so excited to put our plans into action from February next year Retreats for ..... businesses men only (a demographic very close to my heart) women only families we want to focus on improving the mental, physical and emotional health and well-being of everyone that takes part This is such an exciting time, and a venture that is so important to me spread the word and please get in contact for more information

07.01.2022 Saturday Sweat Session I’m normally the kind of person that likes to work out alone but as part of our weekend routine the hubster and I have committed to working out together There are so many benefits to working out with someone, it doesn’t have to be your other half. It can be your kids, friends, neighbour..... whoever. But having that contact, and working together can be great for the soul ... it’s also great for accountability It only takes one of you to the plant the seed, be the leader and get the other one moving, because let’s be honest, there are times when we.just.don’t.want.to.exercise but once we’re moving we feel

06.01.2022 Food glorious food!

06.01.2022 A very sweaty, late night workout for me! So sweaty that I had 2 little pools by the end of it Working out in the evening isn’t ideal but sometimes you have to ask yourself if that is a REASON or an EXCUSE not to exercise The day ran away with me today so I couldn’t train any other time. I wasn’t super tired from my day, I needed the time to unwind but didn’t want to sit in front of the tv, but I’ll be honest I was split 50/50 about whether I wanted to workout... for an hour. If I was totally drained from my day, if the thought of getting on my bike filled me with dread then would it have been worth it? Probably not. But I chose to go with the 50% that wanted to exercise and I’m glad I did! But remember, it’s not always going to be that way..... be kind to yourself, listen to yourself and know when you have a valid reason to do nothing See more

06.01.2022 Have a little patience, They say

04.01.2022 Virtue Signalling In it’s truest definition it is about ‘the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue’ ... But if we look at VS in a broader aspect it can relate to any aspects of our life, not just about social and moral issues. The majority of us have good intentions when it comes to our health and well-being right? We SAY we deserve better, we SAY we will commit to giving ourselves more time out, we SAY exercise and movement and ‘healthy eating’ must be a priority. Aren’t these all virtue signals? Aren’t they all morally correct statements said with the truest of intentions? But what happens when we don’t follow through on our health and well-being virtue statements? Instead of giving ourselves a hard time about not seeing it through, would it not be more beneficial to think about WHY it didn’t happen? Sounds a bit intense for a Tuesday morning, but why not join me at 12:45 today for a FB Live chat about this and see if anything aligns with you?

02.01.2022 TAKE TIME OUT Farming can be all consuming. Most of us live where we work. From the moment we wake up, work is RIGHT THERE! And we all know that the dreaded To Do list never ends. This means that being a farmer 24/7 is a recipe for major burn out As a family we consciously take time out to be us - not farmers. We put it in the diary!! We connect as a family unit and importantly as a couple. There's nothing better than kicking back (with the kids tucked up in bed ) and enj...oying a beer together, talking about life and not sheep Chilling & connecting Whether it's with a partner, a friend, a family member or even solo - hit the pause button and take time to just be you Did you know that included in the Farm Life Fitness Tribe subscription is a free online talk delivered every 6 weeks These talks can be about anything & everything to do with health and wellness These talks are open to non-Tribe members at a cost of $15.
