23.01.2022 The results of me just doing me, saying no, over committing, and not feeling guilty all the time because of the pressure I put on myself to do all the things I thought other people thought I should do and worrying about being perceived as lazy if I want working... a huge reduction in anxiety and 22kg weight loss! I am running my business better and spending more time with my kids
23.01.2022 Self reward... an important part of goal setting... those of you who know me will know I have a small obsession with @camillawithlove I just reached a personal goal and splurged on these gorgeous leggings #treatyourself #goalsetting #reward #steppingstones #colour #pilatesaustralia #pilatesinstructor #pilatesnewfarm

15.01.2022 14 years ago... prior to The Body Refinery and children I hated my job and enrolled in a masters of animal physio so I could work with horses... the course got cancelled and I bought my business... sliding doors! Today I went to a fabulous body work for horses course with Inline Equine... Awesome day! Thanks Naomi so cool learning new skills

14.01.2022 Another great session with the oh so gorgeous Nicholas Psarros from @themovementrefinery and @tmr.academy . Our sessions have gone from basic complaints from me to full on swearing but secretly I love every minute. . #rollover has long been a nemesis but is rapidly becoming a favourite!... . At the end of our session we had a great chat as I have made a real shift in my mental status this year. I realised I have been putting so much pressure on myself to do what I believed people thought I should do and in the process I really lost me. . As we come towards the end of 2020 it important to think what the year has taught us and for me 2020 has been saying no, distinguishing between home life and work life and realising running a business of this size I have to maintain discipline and focus on the the big picture which makes it easier to say no. Remember what other people think of you is none of your business. And just do you See more

08.01.2022 This time last year I finished an amazing course The Australian Owner Manager program which was run over 5 months. It was a fabulous course about business but also about balancing life to be better owner managers in business. I have to say it really changed how I look at my role in my business@and I truely believe I run @thebodyrefinery better thanks to all I learnt! . One of the best things I learnt was the importance of having a hobby... something that you love to do that ...isn’t work, that isn’t your exercise. I realised that I didn’t have a true hobby. I worked, I exercised and I ran around driving my kids supporting their passions and interests. . This year I have really focussed on me which felt so selfish initially. But I have found my hobby in horses (expensive hobby! ) and I truly feel like life is much more balanced. It is also an activity that I can share with my daughter. . I really thought I was too busy for a hobby... despite having an awesome family and business everything was becoming a chore. . Do something that you truely love as a hobby it doesn’t have to mean you’re the best at it just something that makes you smile and leaves you feeling joyful and life will feel more balanced I promise. . #getahobby #dothingsyoulove #happinessis #balance See more

02.01.2022 Got to break my 97 year old grandma out of her assisted living today... lock downs are hard but for the elderly who live in aged care facilities the lock downs have been so awful and isolating... Looking forward to having Grandma back in @thebodyrefinery soon! #ageing #keepactive #useitorloseit
