As the summer months wind down and September approaches, it’s the perfect time for busy mums to hit the reset button and start SeptemberSTRONG.
Despite good intentions, the summer months frequently see women neglecting self-care to deal with the seemingly impossible juggle of kids and work during the summer. All too often the result is frustration about not being more present for your kids, anxiety about not being your best self at work, and heartache as your hard-earned fitness suffers.
This used to be me too and I’m living proof that there is a better way. And it starts now, building the strong habits and a strong body that power you through everything that life throws your way.
Here are 5 compelling reasons to start SeptemberSTRONG and get back on track with good habits and a healthy lifestyle.
Overcome the Summer Slump and get PhysicallySTRONG
Building your physical strength boosts your energy, health and makes you feel fantastic. Whatever your starting point, great fitness habits start with resistance training. With all the benefits of building muscle mass, it’s no surprise that icons like Victoria Beckham swear by it. Check out my recent thoughts in The Times on VB and why like me, she’s such an advocate of being physically strong.
Re-discover your inner fire and become MentallySTRONG
My transformation was built on rediscovering my inner fire from years before. It started with some honest truths from my brother, and I continued it through sheer bloody mindedness but it was brutally hard doing it without support.
I’ve created the ISS program so you don’t have to do this alone. The initial motivation comes from you, but the mental skills, knowledge and support to sustain it comes from my coaches and I.
I won’t promise it’ll always be easy, but once you’re ready to commit and understand the process, it really is simple.
Embrace a balanced lifestyle and LiveSTRONG
Embracing a strong lifestyle enhances your overall health and well-being. Fuel your lifestyle with a diet packed with protein intake for optimum nutrition. Focus on quality sleep and stress management and build the lifestyle that will make you feel fabulous.
Small, intentional choices each day can make a significant impact on your overall wellness. Layering positive lifestyle changes upon each will compound the effect and you’ll feel your energy and motivation soar.
Create sustainable wellbeing and become EverydaySTRONG
September is the ideal opportunity to establish new, positive habits that will set the tone for a healthy lifestyle throughout the year. And consistency is key in building a strong foundation for your well-being.
Accountability is at the heart of the ISS method and it was a vital ingredient of my transformation. It’s the superpower that makes new habits stick. Share your new habits with others and keep them updated as your progress.
Prioritise Self-Care and become SelflesslySTRONG
Making time for self-care is the most selfless thing you can do as you’ll be more effective in every other aspect of your life by investing in your wellbeing. Take the opportunity to reflect on what areas of your life may need attention and make a plan to improve them. September is the perfect time to implement positive changes and set yourself up for success.
My coaches will be your guides, showing you the exact steps you need to take to become physically, mentally, everyday STRONG. We’re the shortcut that misses out all the false steps, fads and hacks that don’t work.
It’s no surprise that September is our busiest time of year. For most women it’s the real ’new year’. Schools change, routines change, jobs change. So why not embrace this change, set your intent and start your SeptemberSTRONG?
