Rediscover Balance Through Your Daily Routine




Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower ~Albert Camus


This week everyone is frenzied getting back on track after summer holidays.  Getting the kids back in school, filling the fridge with healthy foods and solidifying schedules for the autumn. This time of year is as Albert Camus said above “a second spring”.  It is a great opportunity get back on track starting fresh with fitness goals  and eating right.  The beauty of September in London is that it is often one of the nicer months of the year which keeps motivation high after a long and usually gluttonous summer break.

It is said that most people actually gain more weight during the summer months than over the winter holidays.  We usually go to hot and sunny locations when just walking down to the pool feels like a workout and ice cream sounds like a perfectly wholesome snack each afternoon.  Booze is usually a huge culprit when it comes to summer poundage - sugary cocktails and pale pink rose sing their sweet lure from midday into the late evening.  Don’t get me wrong, there is no harm in indulging. It’s part of the fun in life to let go and have that extra glass or scoop...but at some point it is nice to get back on track and find your balance.

If you are finding it hard to get back to your center and take charge then setting your intentions for what you want your life to look like is a great way of self inspiring. Different things work for different people and experimenting to find what works for you can be a fun way to find your focus! Here are some tips to help you get started...



  • Each morning and evening when you brush your teeth, think about and visualise what you want for yourself.  Be clear and stay positive.
  • Every Sunday night sit down and take some time to write down what you want and what you are grateful for.  Showing gratitude and clearing stating what you want in written form are very powerful tools for manifesting.
  • Set your schedule.  Book in your fitness classes in advance, consult with a nutrition expert or set up a food delivery of only healthy foods and book yourself into a course to learn something new and inspiring.  

However you decide to get back on track be clear with what you want.  It just takes a few weeks for something to become a habit but only one day of focus to feel you have regained control.  It’s time to reel it in and start now......Ready. Set. Go!
