How much do you love your job? I have only ever worked in a few jobs I disliked. For the first 5 years I was in the workforce I hated every job I had. My body was stressed before I even stepped into the office and it was because I wasn’t enjoying my work. Now I can’t think of anything more horrible. When I became a journalist I thrived. While there were many stresses like deadlines, I had passion and drive because I loved what I did. Same with the job I am in now, except I don’t have any stress this job, wait there is one stress... but it’s a good stress to the body. It’s called exercise. The rest of my day runs smoothly because I understand what my body needs and when. I understand when it needs to move, eat, be mentally stimulated and need mental rest. It’s called chronobiology and it’s one of the most important parts of health. Yes, more important than exercise and food. So I have your attention now...... . . . #personalisedhealth #ph360 #shaewellness #ph360me #shaewellness30 #chronobiology #stress #lifestyle #lifestylechange #health #healthischanging #geteducated #knowyourbody https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Os1s-nYGb/?igshid=u083rrohilg3

This weekend I took that step backwards in my health journey. But it was all for a good cause. I flew to Byron on Friday for a hens weekend for my sister in-law. So definitely a good cause. Personalising your health is not about strict diets and training regimes. It’s about finding a healthy balance where you can still have the things you love as well as reaching those life goals. When we arrived we headed out for dinner @themezclub I ate more then my tummy could hold and drank till I was happy. Saturday I took that next step forward with an amazing lunch put on by one of the girls staying with us. Super healthy and very yummy. But having the night out before, staying up late, plus eating outside my food range and my body was starting to scream at me. I do the cha cha at least once a month. It makes me feel alive and reminds me why good health is a far greater lifestyle. And without the little reminders life would gets quite boring. Don’t punish yourself for having fun! Enjoy the cha cha and live up to your full potential. . . . #ph360 #shae #shaewellness #shaewellness30 #personalisedhealth #kaizen #kaizenwellness #lifebalance #worklifebalance #worklife #rest #rejuvenation #listentoyourbody #mindbodysoul #health #holistic https://www.instagram.com/p/B2GjFxeHpY1/?igshid=ratrog9httht

Are you an early bird or a night owl? I have always been an early bird. But waking up early means you need to go to bed by a reasonable hour. That’s normally around 9 for me, if I want to feel at my best the next day. But, as a mother I find myself pushing that time out just so I can have me time, to read or watch a television show and before I know it 10pm comes and goes. The next day I feel shattered so I drink coffee (for those who know about ph360 coffee is not great for Activators), only one or two but enough so I feel like I am buzzing all day and by the time I reach 5pm I am wired, overtired and a little cranky. All this for a couple of hours to myself in the evening. Sound familiar! The funny thing is if I listened to my body or followed my chronobiology and went to bed at 9pm, I normally sleep much better and wake up early, go for a run, feel amazing and ready to take the day head on. I get twice as much done at work because I feel great, my kids are perfect because they don’t have to deal with a crabby mother and then I don’t feel like I need to stay up late just to get away from the world. Chronobiology is so powerful and not just for sleep. It affects the times you eat food, the times you exercise and the time you are most productive during the day. In many cases it can be more powerful than the type of food you eat. It’s the base to synchrony in our bodies. But is often overlooked because it’s not understood. . . . #personalisedhealth #ph360 #shaewellness #shaewellness30 #chronobiology #bodyclock #scienceoftime #nightowl #earlybird #health #lifestyle #life https://www.instagram.com/p/B1d3NSOnbX2/?igshid=1ejoztejeqozd

I used to be one of those people who when on a health binge if I stuffed up and accidentally ate a cup cake 😉 or ordered McDonald’s my whole eating well plan was over for the whole day. That was my excuse to continually eat bad for the rest of the day because tomorrow is a new day. Right! 😩 I learned very quickly how terrible this mindset is. How it’s a mindset that gives me the excuse to continually sabotage all the good I have done to my body. What I realised over time and especially when I got into the personalised health space is that it’s ok to eat a cupcake and it’s ok to have McDonald’s... once. What makes it terrible is when I used that excuse to then continually destroy my body with bad decisions. One bad decision is ok. In fact I plan those bad decisions into my week three times. Yes three times I am allowed to eat an unhealthy meal. But once I have had that unhealthy meal or treat I then eat well again. This means I have made 18 good decisions to eat healthy and 3 bad decisions to eat unhealthy during that week. Choosing to eat healthy is not one decision. It’s many times during the week that you have to make that decision over and over. When you plan unhealthy meals into your week you can avoid the guilt and shame that goes with those decisions when they’re not planned and end in a junk food fest. Because now is another chance to get it right, this minute, this hour, this day. Not tomorrow, not in summer or when I get back from holidays. Now! You can choose now. Because now will get you the results you want. . . . #shaewellness30 #shaewellness #healthyfood #healthyfit #healthyrecipes #choices #wellbeing #wellbeingcoach #healthybody #healthyimage #food #quotestoliveby #foodquotes #fit #fitness https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bRhG2HrWc/?igshid=17w95gisz1gpn

At the end of last year I lost about 5 kilos. Because I am a small person it was very noticeable. I was trialling a few things in my diet, one was the type of food I ate and the other was chronobiology, the science of time. There are some major benefits to your health when you eat at the right time or even train at the right time of day. I changed my breakfast from oats to eggs and all my other meals stayed the same. And I stopped eating any foods between the times 3-6pm. That’s it! From these two changes my body was hugely impacted. You don’t need to change you whole diet to make the changes your looking for. You just need to make the right changes for your personal biology. . . . #shaewellness30 #shaewellness #corrievan #cvph #diet #dietfood #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #bodygoals https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TfwWTHUzk/?igshid=1ki8juia2d51r

What do you see when you look at this body? This is a body that is unhealthy, stressed, lives in pain everyday and is exhausted. Not the answer you though your would get.. right. Because society has taught us thin is healthy and fat is not. How wrong they got it. Because it’s not about how big or small we are. It’s about putting our body into the right environment so it can thrive. At this point in my life I was working a full time job that I hated = stress, a part time weekend job that I loved but it was in another city x 6 hour drive =stress, daily headaches, unhealthy relationships and the list goes on. It can be so easy to judge, assume and compare.... but if I can take care of me, and understand you, we’re all in a much better place to start with.

Ahh tricky hey, you like that one? I thought this would be a good time to talk about being social. Have you ever wondering why ‘Jack’ from work never comes to social functions. He works all day tucked away in his office, works late then heads straight home. Everyone needs a different social lifestyle and if they’re put in one that’s not right for their body it actually causes stress in their body. Jack is an introvert and a drink in front of the fire place with his partner is the perfect social night out. While Annie is the life of the party, the more the merrier in her eyes. But if Annie is left alone for too with no socialisation she actually gets depressed. We are all different, we are all unique. Understanding that each of us needs something different to the next is just the first step to understand ourselves and also the needs of others. . . . #ph360 #ph360me #shaewellness #shaewellness30 #emotionalwellness #emotionalwellbeing #wellbeing #social #friends #community #health #holistichealth https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JPL3zn6xI/?igshid=vizonqap5s2t

Office dynamics are the soul to any work environment. We’ve all worked in a place that was unhealthy for our mental wellbeing. It’s stressful and draining and you don’t want to go into work because you know it’s going to make you feel terrible. Can you imagine the stress on our politicians. Despite what we see in the media they are still human, they have families and loved ones who know who they really are. They don’t get the choice to have a wellbeing program to sort through the abuse and hatred that they deal with daily. Or a program where everyone is taught how to treat each other, because those people are us, the Australian public. But you have a choice whether it be in the workplace or towards our Polly’s. You have a choice to treat someone good or treat them bad. Emotional wellbeing is just as important as eating healthy, exercising and resting our mind and body. But it’s quickly overlooked in the workforce because people don’t speak out or support others when a bully is at play. Learning to know your colleagues and understand why they are who they are can play a major role in building a strong and cohesive team. It can help build passion and trust and create a powerful building block within any company. . . . #shaewellness #shaewellness30 #corporatewellness #wellness #businss #kevinrudd #buildingastrongteam #teamwork #emotionalwellness #emotionalwellbeing https://www.instagram.com/p/B05zH-FHHY0/?igshid=1fduhzd8gr17r
