I'm not going to go on and on about myself here. But I’d love to share a very small bit about me so you have context as to why you can trust me and follow my recommendations. I am very grateful. To be an entrepreneur the owner of 3 companies MNW UCW and Wellbusi. I get to do what I love everyday- helping, supporting and inspiring people to get out of their own way and live a life they love and they are proud of.
My background is in Health & Fitness & Wellness, personal and professional development. Human behaviour fascinates me. I’ve worked throughout the world in events, marketing, hospitality, admin, retail, massage, pt., consulting, speaking and coaching. (When I say that it sounds like a lot hey! I've been researching, learning, teaching and training in the wellness space for over 20 years, before the word became trendy & confusing! :) I am proud of the awards I have received, but what I am most proud of and grateful for is the connection I have with fellow humans, Helping solve and prevent their problems, become resilient and resourceful and step up into the person they know they can be. It wasn’t always this way though…

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 5: VICTIM – Playing Below The Line. I had a victim mentality. I’d blame, make excuses, I was in denial. I was waiting for something, someone to fix things, to save me. A knight in shining armour to rescue me, you know? I had no direction, in debt, I've lied, stolen, cheated, followed others, chased what I thought was fun. Drinking, drugs, I ‘ate’ my feelings. I was extremely jealous and angry at others who had ‘more than me’ who were ‘better, more attractive, thinner, fitter, you name it. I was bitter. I was embarrassed and shy and felt not worthy. And I gave up when it got too hard…. This is how I got there…

Chapter 6: The Naughty Wall. I was the one of the ‘naughty wall’ in kindergarten at least once a week. There were only 2 rules: 1. Don't go up the stairs to the big kids’ playground. 2. Don’t pick up or carry other kids. I did both!
11
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
As soon as I heard a cry, or even felt like someone was in trouble, up I would go, find the source of the crying, usually a scraped knee from falling over on the tarmac, pick them up and carry them to sick bay. Often times injuring myself on the way! The minute I got there, I would say, I know Mrs. Lees, and off I went to sit on the naughty wall painted with humpty dumpty characters, ate my lunch and thought of wonderful adventures and made up stories. I guess what I knew I wanted to become even back then, was a life supporter. A people helper. I was ‘creative’ with the rules and I still am. What I didn't realise at the time that I know now, is that I had a great strength and intuition. Gut instinct. And, all I wanted was for someone to notice me. To be aware that my grandfather was crossing the boundaries with me at home. I wanted to be heard, for someone to listen to me without judgement. To simply be able to be ME. All of me, good bad and ugly. Accepting me, my authentic self, not this show I was putting on, hiding what was happening. To be noticed - but not in the way I was being noticed. While I was busy saving others and waiting for someone to save me I got very good at hiding feelings, being sneaky, lying, you name it. I was so busy trying to fit in and now, in business, all we try to do is stand out!

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
But I learnt that if you spend your life waiting for something, someone, guess what? You will always be waiting.
Chapter 7: What Are You Waiting For? Cause the effect! Not when I have time Ill… when I have this I’ll feel that.. I’ll do it when… Later in life, I learnt that by helping others, I was really helping myself! I ‘saved’ myself. I was watching everyone around me get what they wanted while I got jealous. But something happened one day at an athletics carnival. I was in my little green bloomers, (undies) and I was ready to run.
At the starting line. (I was about 6). I waived at mum and dad in the crowd and chatted with the other competitors, making sure they were readyas usual. BANG!! 100m sprint. I was off. I couldn't feel my legs they were going that fast. I suddenly thought, something's not right. I thought maybe because no one was in front of me I had false started. I turned around and saw everyone else running behind me and I yelled,,, come on guys! I started to run and came third. Looking back at this story now, I see this was a pattern, I watched everyone ‘over’ take me and I doubted myself. In fact, I had no idea what I was capable of, who I was I just went along with everyone else. This went through high school, jobs, business, marriage. Until one day my now ex-husband said who do you think you are to be running a business. (Probably the best thing he ever did for me)
13
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 8: Who Do I Think I Am? I suddenly thought shit, who do I think I am? I have no idea! I was helping other people and you know what probably some of them didn't want help! You can't want it more for someone than they want it for themselves. I realised I wanted it for me! I wanted to know who I was, what was I here for and who I wanted to be was up to me to make it happen. I was not a victim. No blame, no excuses, no denial. I was responsible & accountable for my life. AND LIVING IT! So I connected with myself, found out who I was, what I liked and what I didn’t. What I was good at and what I brought to the table. I became non-judgmental, open and aware of my life and others. I found teachers, practitioners, instructors, coaches you name it! I went to the University of Me! I saw both sides of the stories, not all perceived ‘bad’ was actually ‘bad’ I mean, surely there was a reason why part of my childhood was that way and why I felt the need to help others at such a young age. By teaching others, you are really learning what you need to learn.

Chapter 9: Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants. So, I have spent the past 20 years becoming an expert in resilience, resourcefulness, accountability authenticity and seeing power in vulnerability. How to live an inspired life- all in an effort to support the people that can be truly helped by my message, in my events, programs and memberships. That’s more than enough about me - let’s get back to you! And specifically, how you can live a well-inspired life and avoid the damage of siting down all day. As I said, there are 3 very common, incredibly costly mistakes that over 30’s make that keep them unknowingly on a path to mass burnout, at risk of major health concerns, in pain- pain that prevents them from doing what they love, and in many cases a life of disappointment and destruction! And, if you read the report I wrote on ‘why sitting down is killing you’, you will know that physically, sitting down for more than six hours a day, is bad for your health. Really bad ... and here's why…
15
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
According to Dr. James Levine, director of the Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University Obesity Solutions Initiative, “Sitting is more dangerous than smoking, kills more people than HIV, and is more treacherous than parachuting. We are sitting ourselves to death.” The human body simply isn’t designed to spend a large amount of time sitting down. As soon as we sit down, we start to experience the negative effects of it. If we are only seated for a short amount of time, our bodies can usually counter these effects. However, if you work in an office and spend the majority of your time sitting down all day then you risk damaging your health in a number of ways. So why is sitting down for long periods of time so damaging? Sitting down for long periods of time affects the whole human body - organ systems, muscle groups, skeletal structures and joints.
Organ Systems After prolonged periods of sitting, your muscles burn less fat and your blood flows more slowly. This allows fatty deposits to build up more easily and clog blood vessels, which can cause:
High blood pressure
Elevated cholesterol
Excess body fat
16
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Which can in turn lead to heart and blood vessel problems, weight gain and a loss of brain power. Brain power is affected because slower blood circulation means that less oxygen reaches the brain, which causes brain function to slow down. Poor circulation can also cause fluid to pool in the legs which can cause problems; from swollen ankles and varicose veins to deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Muscle Groups Whilst sitting, different muscle groups relax and tighten compared to when we are standing. In particular, the abs relax whilst the back muscles tighten and the glutes relax whilst the hip flexors tighten. This results in multiple problems:
Unused muscle deteriorates. Weak glutes can reduce your mobility and stability when walking.
Tight hip flexors can decrease in length, resulting in reduced balance and a limited range of motion and stride length.
Sitting for long periods of time, especially in a poor posture encourages tight back muscles and weak abdominal muscles. This can affect the spine’s natural arch which continues to negatively affect posture.
Idle muscles don’t react the way they normally would to insulin (a hormone that the pancreas releases to transport glucose around the body for energy). This can result in an overactive pancreas and excessive levels of insulin which can lead to diabetes.
After 2 hours of sitting:
Good cholesterol drops 20%
After 24 hours of sitting:
Insulin effectiveness drops 24% and risk of diabetes rises
17
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
After 2 weeks of sitting for more than 6 hours a day:
Measured increase in fatty molecules, bad cholesterol and insulin resistance
Blood sugar levels go up which can cause weight gain
Maximum oxygen consumption drops which makes physical exertion more difficult
After 1 year of sitting for more than 6 hours a day:
Possible weight gain and high cholesterol levels
Studies in women have shown a yearly 1% loss in bone mass
After 10-20 years of sitting for more than 6 hours a day:
Risk of dying of heart disease increases by 64%
Risk of prostate or breast cancer increases 30%
Unfortunately, spending a few hours a week performing physical activities doesn’t compensate for the amount of damage that long periods of sitting down can do….
That brings me to the #3 biggest mistake….

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 10: Biggest Mistake #3 - Shiny Object Syndrome. Shiny object syndrome. Know anyone who sounds like this….
‘Oooooh, there’s this thing that's so exciting, check this at! I'm sooooo doing that! It’s a 12 week course that’s…. no... it’s now an app- I found this amazing time saving, life changing app, look, you just press these buttons, stay up all night staring at this screen….. ah, noooo that's so yesterday.. now, I am doing this new thing! Its standing on one leg, waving your arms in the air, reading this mantra, eating air dust, while unicorns and rainbows fly out of my arse and my head turns into a golden tree…. When you ask these guys how their unicorn rainbow poo making golden tree is they look at your all weird and say…. I'm not doing that anymore because today I found this… ARGH!! Its obsessive, frustrating and exhausting keeping up with what they are up to, I imagine it’s the same for them! I mean, what works? Is it a diet, an app, a gadget, a thought, a retreat, a beverage, a pill, Meditation, mantra workout? Isn't it easier to do nothing, oh and that's the new thing, to do nothing. Take a breath! Is it who to follow on insta-jealous?
19
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 11: Insta-Jealous. Less of this
More of this
Come on, you know the pictures all white, filtered to the inch of their lives, on an island, in a bikini, pashing some dude with abs for days, or a puppy or green smoothie salad jar bowl super berry thingy. More real life- why do we feel the need to hide the ‘bad’ days? Except if we need a sympathy vote! Here’s one thing I know. Following people on Instagram will not make your life better. There. I said it. So, SOS shiny object syndrome may go back to the original meaning of sos - save our souls! The people with SOS - I was one of them admittedly, they seem to be doing all the right things, but are they the right things for them? Or are they following the fads? Most of these Shiny objects -Leave them stressed out, confused and in some cases worse off than before. Many of these guys only focus on 1 out of the 9 areas of wellness and focusing only on this area is a costly mistake.
20
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
1. It's not sustainable 2. Its costs more time, energy, effort and money
Learning something new and often with these sorts of things, it's on your own, no support, perhaps worse, no accountability, takes a lot of time and effort. AND, if you are anything like me, I will admit, I have purchased from shiny object syndrome. I had so much stuff I didn't know how to start or wasted so much time trying to figure it out in the end it wasn't solving my problems or improving my life. I wasted time, money and all I got was frustration and disappointment. And some occasions I didn't even remember what I had purchased! To start with, I checked all my bank accounts and apps, orders, emails confirming my purchase and or subscription – my people I was ‘following’ etc. and make a list of them. Any of the ones I hadn’t used yet or were too tricky to work out, didn’t enhance my life or challenge me, I just STOPPED. Deleted, unsubscribed, terminated ceased. It’s not about adding it’s about TAKING AWAY – less really is more and easier to manage AND you can see what’s working and what isn’t!
Can you see you don't want to waste your time and effort?

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 12: Biggest Mistake #2 - ‘Quickie Fixie’.
Band aid solution
This is also known as the broke fix model or a band aid solution. Most people concentrate on buying something, even if it’s something they got free, that focuses on one action: a quick fix. Relieve or get rid of symptoms, pain, suffering, quickly. The promise to: Improve physical wellness fast! Some people implement everything they are told to, or what's in the instructions, use it religiously, yet they don't get the results they want. Some, like it, get some results, yet the problem comes back. Like dealing with a break up, fighting with partner, same arguments over and over, like not fitting into their clothes, losing weight and putting it back on, like getting pain relief and eventually the same pain or another pain comes back again. Perhaps not knowing why they feel tired and anxious and not having any direction - Groundhog Day!
22
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
AND they have different people they see, or things they do in a multitude of places it takes more time to run around getting help and support. Why? Because these are all quickie fixes. They are designed that way and that's ok, that’s what they do but it’s not ongoing. Once it’s done, they stop, and go back to the old way and old results. There’s no follow on, or follow up. No moving as you move, changing as you change, growing as you grow. Before you start anything and have quickie fixie or even Shiny object syndrome … first take these 4 steps:
23
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 13: Action Step #1 - Ask Yourself. Ask yourself, seems obvious but, ask:
1. Where am I/how do I feel right now? 2. Where do I want to be/how do I want to feel? 3. Does this bridge the gap? It’s that simple. A check before you SOS or quickie yourself! You can see how a little tip like this can save you so much time, energy and $$
24
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 14: Action Step #2 - Up Or Down.
OR
Is what you are doing or going to do actually helping you get closer to reaching your goals or taking you further away?
25
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Ever noticed that time doesn’t go backwards, but you can! Is it going to sustain/maintain your current state of being or goal when you reach it? Or will you revert? Will it enhance your life? (LIFE GIVING)
YES=Give it life NO=Don’t give it life. - Its life TAKING
If it’s a no, it’s going to help you procrastinate from doing the things to reach your goals. High priority tasks? Or Low priority bullshit?
Are you following me so far? GREAT! This leads us right into #1 massive mistake So, how DO you know if you are doing high priority tasks or low priority bullshit? It comes down to one thing.
26
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 15: Biggest Mistake #1 - Inspiration Vs. Motivation.
If you don’t want to do it, have to be motivated =lpb low priority bullshit If you are excited about it and love to do it, inspired=hpt high priority task. SIMPLE RIGHT? Motivation is the push, inspiration is the pull. When I try to motivate myself, nine times out of ten I’m pushing myself to do something I don’t really care about or don’t want to do Motivation is about firing yourself up.
27
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Inspiration comes from a completely different place. The word inspiration means to be in spirit. When you’re tuned into your spirit, you are naturally drawn to do whatever feels best. Motivation, on the other hand, usually has a lot to do with fake growth. You think you should be doing something (without thinking about why) and it often leads in the direction of something that doesn’t really matter. It’s what you’re “supposed” to be doing. It’s just a good idea, not a passionate, burning desire that emanates from the core of your being. So, motivation is about things that you think you should do or that you’re supposed to do. Inspiration is about being called to act because you’re in direct alignment with your values.
When you’re inspired you know because…
Life feels effortless. You don’t let anything hold you back from starting right now. You feel called to do this; the feeling comes from your core. And, you don’t make excuses Want to find out if you are inspired or motivated?
28
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 16: Action Step #3 - Watch Your Language! Inspired: Love to, love not to Motivated: Have to, ought to, must do, should do, need to Inspired humans know their top 3 values and live their lives in accordance with these. Motivated people – they are motivated (have to force themselves to do something) because they are not inspired. If they were inspired, they wouldn’t need the motivation to do what they love. They do what it takes to reach their goals. – Make sense? Now, it’s simple, we’re either living a life by design, (inspired) or we are not! Closing the gap between what’s important and how you spend your time is the key to making your life more fulfilling and to free yourself to live to your highest potential.(My best me) So, what’s the starting point to closing the gap? To simply stop and think! With our busy lives this is easier said than done….
29
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 17: Don’t Justify Just Say. But, next time when someone asks you to do something, invites you to something, when you have to make a choice or decision, listen to your response. Do you justify it? By saying oh sorry no I can’t come to that I have to go see my xxx and then I’m xxx and … you know what I mean. Or do you say, I’d love to or I’d love not to. Yes or no. Full STOP. As soon as you say…’’because ‘’and explain why you can’t, it becomes about them not about you. Are you inspired? As I mentioned, inspired people know their top values and life their life according to those values. I get surprised when I hear how many people don’t know what their values are and have not ever done anything to find out.
30
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Chapter 18: Action Step #4 - What Are My Values? Hey, shall we just quickly find out what our values are right now. Ready? Ok, this is a really simple 3 step process: 1. Find 2. Finesse 3. Focus
Step 1 Find Grab a piece of paper and write: “What, in life, is most important to me?” Choose only 10 words When were you happiest or most excited? What was your proudest moment? These are a potential values. What do you regret the most? Again, this is a way to figure out what’s most important to you.
Step 2 Finesse Now, ask yourself, “What does (value word) mean to me?” For example if you had money on your list or wealth, you may ask, “What does money mean to me?” To which the answer could be, “money means achievement, security, or freedom.” By answering this second question you uncover your core or underlying value. In this example money is the means security, or freedom. These are the core values. (If you need help write the top 10 that jump out at you.)

Loyalty Making a difference Mastery Merit Obedience Openness Order Originality Patriotism
Traditionalism Trustworthiness Truth-seeking Understanding Uniqueness Unity Usefulness Vision Vitality
Is it truly YOUR value? (I.e. is it internally motivated or is it external … a “should”) is it how you were brought up – a belief or is it truly what sets you a-light inside? Personally, when I was going through my divorce, I noticed that I had been going along with the flow so long, got stuck in such a condition and had ‘too busy’ disorder that I forgot to work on me! I had no idea who I was, what I loved to do and it all came to a head when I awoke alone on my birthday on a couch at work in a sheer panic….. I had realised I was at my business! I was alone, I had not made any plans to celebrate my birthday, I didn’t know what to do or who to call I could hardly breathe! But I thought I’m not spending my birthday alone! - in my business! (And it wasn’t even a work day).
33
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
I took a ride on my bike towards my friend’s house and started to think, what do I love? Bike riding! = freedom, hanging out with friends!, = connection, and bit by bit, piece by piece, and with some help from some great practitioners and coaches, trainers, you name it, I gradually found my me!
I started to find my genius too. My skills, things I am great at.
I wrote my 100, =100 things I bring to the table. (Funny this is how I attracted my partner my silver fox – but that’s another story…)
I questioned everything! I looked at all the things I was currently doing and not doing. I was bush walking because my husband loved it - I don’t love bush walking, I wasn’t eating olives and anchovies because my mum doesn’t like them, I love olives and anchovies, I wasn’t playing sport, I love playing sport =connection, openness, awareness.. Do you see how this was unfolding?
So, is it a TRUE value, or someone else’s you have taken on? A means or an end? If one value is simply to accomplish another, then look to the value you want to accomplish. If you want economic security because you think it leads to freedom, then freedom is the one you value most.
34
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Looking at all your values you have written, ask yourself this question, “If I had to live my life without one of these values, which one would I give up?” Cross out ones you can live without, Out until you get to 5 and, If you can, get to just 3.
Now, look at your 10 value words and cross ones you can live without, out until you get to 5 and if you can, get to just three.
Now, rewrite your top three values in order 1.2.3.
Then, for each value, write a definition, a statement of what it means to you to be successful in living that value. At the end of your life, looking back, how will you know if you’ve been successful in that area?
If ‘Family’ is one of your values, how will you know you’ve been successful as a family man or woman? If you put ‘Happiness’ what does that look like to you?
I’ll show you mine as an example: #1Value= Connection “Success to me means being able to create meaningful relationships with people. To be completely ourselves, to connect.”
#2 Value = Awareness “Success to me means being aware of myself, my actions, my feelings and thoughts and of others. To be conscious of what’s going on around me”
#3Value=Open-ness “Success to me means . . .”
35
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Get what I mean?
Now what you can do, is merge the three paragraphs together into one overall statement. It could be several sentences, several paragraphs or even a poem. Whatever works for you!
E.g. I live my life in accordance with my top 3 values, being aware of myself, my thoughts, feelings and actions. I am aware of my surroundings and aware of others. I create meaningful relationships, connecting with people by being open and by doing this, ‘allowing’ others to be who they are, and also be open with me.
Step 3: Focus
Do your actions show your values? Actions speak louder than words.
Reaffirming your values Check your top-3 high priority values, and make sure they fit with your life and your vision for yourself.
Do these values make you feel good about yourself?
Are you proud of your top three values?
Would you be comfortable and proud to tell your values to people you respect and admire?
Do these values represent things you would support, even if your choice isn't popular, and it puts you in the minority?
When you consider your values in your choices, you can be sure to keep your sense of integrity and what you know is right, and approach decisions with confidence and clarity. You'll also know that what you’re doing is a high priority HPT task and is helping you achieve your goals and being the person you want to be.
Your values will reflect who you are and what’s important to you. Let these become your benchmark, your standard of the best you.
Measure yourself against your statement and continuously ask yourself if your current activity is moving toward your vision and goals or against.

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
For example, if taking care of my health is important to me, and I eat mc Donald’s, drink a few bottles of soft drink, and sit on the couch mindlessly eating a bag of chips and constantly watching shitty T.V, then I’m not living with integrity, am I?
There’s a gap between what I value and my actions. If I do this I also feel guilty, like a fraud.
Have you ever felt that? Like, you get that feeling, a bit like a nervous, anxiousness, mind racing, can’t relax, feel I don’t know… weird? It may be because what you are currently doing is one of those things you feel you shouldn’t be doing perhaps and it’s not in line with your values.
Committing To Your Focus
In summary you now have 5 actions: 1. You now have your top 3 values and know what they mean and why. 2. You know to ask yourself, is this in line with my values, YES/NO 3. If it’s a yes, you give it life, if no, you don’t give it life. 4. If yes, you know it will bridge the gap and move you closer to your goals and you will be inspired and living with integrity. 5. You know it’s a HPT high priority task not LPB low priority bullshit
Final step, reverse engineering! One of my fav things
Ask yourself, “How does my current life, work, and relationships reflect my core values?”
Just for fun, why not over the next 7 days, find out how much you are living your core values or personal values statement. Track the way you are spending your time.
Each time you do something that fulfils one of your core values write it down. By the end of the week you should have a few examples under each of your core values!

Review So Far We have revealed #3 Massive Mistakes. #3 SOS shiny object syndrome – going from one thing to the next and next exhausting and overwhelming, not consistent or sustainable.
#2 Quickie Fixie – broke –fix or band aid model. Waiting till something breaks then trying like mad to fix it – until it comes back again or you have a new break

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Asking that 1 question, “is this in line with my values, bringing me closer to my goals” YES or NO is KEY! Most people get waaaay ahead of themselves and complicate their lives, causing unnecessary distress. This is a fast track path to mass burnout and destruction with devastating results.

Chapter 19: 8.33. WARNING!!< SCARY STAT HERE!
8.3 Australians commit suicide Every. Single. Day. It’s the highest death rate for people aged 14-44. 2nd highest is accidental poisoning and 3rd highest is transport accidents.
Now, I’m not saying we are headed for being one of the 8.3 BUT people who don’t want to be here anymore, I imagine can’t cope with the pain and suffering , the heart ache, the burnout, the unable to function and have nothing that makes them happy anymore. They aren’t inspired about their lives and that makes me really sad.
What I am hopefully doing with you now, is providing you valuable insight, not just information. (Anyone can google information, right?)
My job, is to know what you don’t know, teach you what you would love to learn: how to bridge and close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. I heard this great saying I’d love to share with you:
‘If you could have done it on your own, you would already be there by now.’
You know, there are some people on this book that will have SOS, some Quickie Fixies, some have more M than I in IM and some, all three!
Don’t get bogged down with LPB – low priority bullshit!
But hang on……..all this is well and good, but what’s the solution?
Do you know where you want to be and where you are now?
This is one of my FAVOURITE actions and one we do with all our clients and members 1:1…

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Most ‘Wellness’ stuff doesn’t work for everybody. Everybody consumes it- the get bombarded with it and most of wellness is only promoting physical health and or fitness. That’s not wellness, that’s PART of wellness. People consume it then go on with their day to day habits, and pushes the high priorities into the ‘I’ll do it when’ category. Why does this happen? Real wellness has 9 elements, areas, dimensions of you like. Most wellness out here has 1 but not all 8 others.
Give Insight Not Information
Element #1 of REAL WELLNESS is Give insight not just information In the form of connected communication that solves a problem for you. (Program, course, workshop event etc.)
49
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
That’s where ‘Wellness’ Stops. Focusing on 1 area, physical wellness, health and fitness, that’s lumped into wellness. And it’s because they don’t know about the other 8 elements, and without the other 8, it’s not real wellness and it won’t work AS without these other 8/9 areas, we are missing out on 8/9 areas of our lives. Real wellness must give insight ideas, inspiration and implementation not just information! Support, to get where you want to be in these 9 areas:
Physical, Occupational, Social, Environmental.
Spiritual,
Mindset,
Financial,
Intellectual,
Emotional,
Don’t we need these? Take a look at each one and have a think about what it would be like to be broke, no friends, no identity, no career….you get what I mean Once you focus on these areas and get them handled, you really FLY! Save time, energy, money, confusion, stress, frustration, have more energy, relaxation, fun & inspiration! Now, your life is much more unique than the blanket model of ‘physical; wellness’ that’s being advertised to you.
50
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Real wellness is designed for YOUR LIFE specifically. Which you use, when and how depends on where you are at and where you want to be. Bottom line: You must learn how to implement real wellness that gives you insight and inspiration and that you can IMPLEMENT and is in line with your values -not just play hit and miss with physical wellness and cross your fingers and hope it works! There is another choice, which I doubt is for you since you have taken the action to be here.
DO NOTHING By doing nothing, nothing changes. Or, focus just on physical wellness, (health and fitness) which is a great start and it works BUT without an over archine REAL WELLNESS strategy and plan you’ll work waaaay to hard for little in return and spend too much time and money in the process. AND, you know what, the ripple effect doesn’t work as well. Real wellness is designed to effect other areas of your life sometimes even at the same time! Real wellness is a strategy that’s is a way of life that’s simple, easy and fun and is implemented across all 9 areas, you are a whole person after all! Not just arms and legs Here’s what I recommend, learn it, implement it into your life at least the fundamentals because…. RW gives your entire life meaning, support and value. It’s the most leveraged. It’s a flow on, ripple effect, (that’s why my logo has a ripple)
51
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
RW doesn’t just create +ve changes to your life and effects your family, colleagues, friends, partner, children, and community too! Imagine what your impact and influence can be inspiring others! It’s the most versatile and flexible as you change, so does it! Most programs are static, no consideration for when ‘stuff’ happens in life. A curve ball, made redundant, a break up, a family members news, loss of a relationship or loved one, even those days when you just need to press PAUSE. You are still supported with real wellness. In fact, these are the times when you will feel the most benefit! Thrive not survive! RW is the only strategy that works for those who want to live their best lives anyway. There are other ways to get what you need: Spend years researching studying, practicing, buying all the programs, courses, apps, books, workshops, events, spending TONS of money and not really knowing what’s working and what’s not. Not really addressing ALL Your needs. And some actually cross over and contradict each other! Most over 30’s don’t have the time to waste on that. I know I don’t That’s why you have to use real wellness. But very very few people are using it effectively. Most wellness out there is not getting you what you want or what you need. Often people ask me, what do you do? I say, I live a well-life, implement real wellness that is designed specifically for me. Nothing else will enable me to BE who I want, DO what I want and LIVE the life II want to live. We are all in the same business. Of being the BEST version of ourselves possible! Nothing else will bring you everything you want. I work primarily with open and teachable humans.
52
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Women in their 30’s who are conscious and committed not expecting a quick fix or a do it all for me. Those who are accountable for their lives. I simply want to help millions of people look back on their last day and say – what a ride! So many beautiful people say, ‘I just want to look and feel my best’ and, in doing so, inspiring others. WOW! Remember the story of the little green bloomers, where I stopped running and came third?
It’s time to lead your race. Your life. No one is going to come third or 3nd all the time to get you to number 1. It’s up to you. It’s out duty not to shrink. It’s our time to shine because in doing so you inspire others. By implementing real wellness, you are serving more people and if you think working on you is being selfish it’s not. I didn’t think like this, I especially as a female thought I was selfish to look after myself & be my best, but that wasn’t serving me or anyone else!
53
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Would you be a member of a wellness centre where the owner and team didn’t give a shit about being their best and simply selling shit? That may be ok for some but not for me. I have an obligation to be inspired and evoke inspiration in others because I love seeing people be their best.
This change isn’t coming from the big players. I don’t consider myself one of the big players. I’m just like you. Heart based, conscious, grass roots trailblazers we are, you and me Tragically, most over 30’w make real wellness very low on their priority list. IF they aren’t saying, I’ll wait till I get a new job, or move or after my holiday, or when I have more time, more money etc. etc. enter excuse here___________ They are saying, I already go to a gym, I have a physio when my back plays up….
54
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
And for many, it’s either one or both of these two excuses 1. I feel so good so I won’t come in 2. I’m not feeling good so I won’t come in
Either way, they still need to be actively working on real wellness or what happens? They never get what they want or need to live the life they deserve. _ it’s an expensive belief! Those two types of people have it ½ right but not the right half! The right halves together they make a whole. GET REAL WELLNESS If they don’t learn and implement real wellness, they’ll never know what life would have been like without regrets. Working their butts off trying this and that trying to take care of themselves. Friends, family, to make a difference and live an inspired life! Wasting thousands of $ and hours of precious time on strategies that don’t work for them. They may work, but not for THEM. Desperately wanting the freedom that real wellness gives. The enjoyment, the support, the fun and connection and having that third space between work and home, where they can truly be themselves. Please remember your life is calling!
The only thing that will give you the lifestyle you want, when you want and with whom! I’ve seen many people in my closest friends and family struggle to live a life they love and give up or have a break down because it’s all too hard and complicated and confusing! It’s tragic because it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why I combined my two decades of education, all my mentorship, training and experience and my entire heart and soul to create a membership called real wellness.

Do more with less! ^ Productivity and energy v Stress confusion overwhelm and less work!
Pretty much do more of what you love and less of what you don’t! Many people get a physical wellness plan, app, book, etc. and think, that’s it! The 1 thing I need to do/follow. Or several things in some peoples cases (SOS) BUT is it the RIGHT TIHNG that will get them the results they are wanting and needing? Did they take the time to ask the questions and find out if it was right for them? Tried it for a while, didn’t get the results they thought they would get, or got some results but went straight back to where they were before! They get distracted and start messing around with other stuff or scrapping it before they have even given it a good go!

I hear of a great idea, buy it, no result, scrap it, move on, find it, buy it… And the reason it’s not working is this… it’s a cookie cutter model, and only focusing on physical wellness.

An open, aware and supportive environment to be REAL! Life is not all +ve. Why should we be part of something that doesn’t allow for us to be ourselves? Have our moments as that is when we really need the support. Not being happy happy happy all the time? Many are doomed in a world of trial and error. Never knowing if you will fly or flop! False promises and fakery. Fluffy woo woo as I call it. Following ‘general’ advice you heard or got, trying it, crossing your fingers!

It’s so much fun getting to know all the members, we learn a lot from each other too! RW, we show you EXACTLY how to do it, step by step No one wants to go somewhere they know the same as what you know! We want to go somewhere to know more right? We open the ‘hood’ and take a look at how well you are running Just like a car, you need to check all the moving parts to make sure everything is working well together. We must go back to simple solutions for success and this is checking your foundation. If you aren’t getting or haven’t been getting the results you want, we’ll find out why and show you how to up level. This will set you up for your next level of LIVING! – The way YOU want. Then, once the plan is in place, foundation is set, my team get to work with your number 1 area and for some, maybe even work on many at once- as many services and classes have a flow on – a fab side effect!
These are the systems I currently use to create Real Wellness for my life, my friends, family and my RW members lives. You need templates!
65
WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Templates allow you to replicate what works again and again like your guide to real wellness! A resource guide to come back to over and over to get instant support. You need workbooks! Workbooks allow you to measure your progress and keep all your RW bits and pieces in one place. Here’s a hot tip for you…… The #1 way to get results faster is with other people!
Lots of people have heard this strategy but don’t know the why behind it! People can support you! You all have wellness as a common value and as a RW member, even if you prefer to work on yourself by yourself, you still know that you have support of others if you ever need it. You never know, you might also have the very thing someone else needs so just by sharing your experiences can not only help you, but others too! Often Times Wellness Providers have the best intentions but end up sounding like a pitch fest. Breaking trust and credibility. Others have tons of value but aren’t connecting, so no one gets the help from their fantastic program. With a RW membership, one of the templates I give you is my tried and true yearly set up for success calendar! Doesn’t even matter what month you start it as it will enable you to get what you want from your year. It’s really simple and fun to do as well!

In 2012 ASIC reported the average household spends $69,166 on general household living costs that’s $189.04 a day! WTF? Can you afford not to invest $5.57 in yourself, in your life?? And, you know my best advice is this becomes part of your life, routine, like brushing your teeth, but way, way better! Ok, bad analogy, more like going on a holiday – a LOT! But not coming back feeling like you need a holiday to get over your holiday Not needing another ‘quickie fixie’, your life IS a holiday! A vacation is vacating from your life! If you love your life, you don’t need to vacate from it! Take the emption out of ‘having’ to do a class. Put it in your diary and schedule it like a meeting with a friend, or special occasion. I don’t understand people who don’t show up. I mean would they not show up to a wedding or a meeting with their boss? Maybe? They wouldn’t have many wedding invites or a job for long I imagine. Well, you are your BOSS! Don’t do it to yourself, be true to your word, you are worth more than that. You are #1! So start putting yourself there. What’s the worst that could happen? Um… you LOVE IT!! The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. Imagine sleeping soundly waking up refreshed! Eating food you love for fuel and boundless energy. Having fun and productive days at work! Coming home to a happy family and enjoying each other.

Fit as! Going to that charity challenge and being proud of your effort. Friends saying how good you look Time for you! Reflect, relax and enjoy your body. See what you are made of Lower risk of cardio vas disease, diabetes and heart attack I could go on but imagine you know the benefits of wellness vs illness Invest in wellness or pay the price for illness Practically all dis-eases are from not looking after ourselves. REMOVE THE CAUSE FROM THE ROOT, NOT SIMPLY GIVING IT A TRIM I get it! Life gets in the way- what does that even mean?? It’s the stuff you have to do that gets in the way LPB shit Isn’t life the highest priority? And living it well? Look at who you want to be. I did a long time ago when I forgot who I was and had the excuse life got in the way. I got in my way! One thing fell apart at a time and I felt so out of control very quickly. Business, career, finances, health, relationships, it all came crashing down. But I took control, started getting help and support Naturo, chiro, kinesi, coaching, Pilates, yoga, workshops. I became a real wellness member and created MNW do you don’t have to run around like I did place to place person to person. It’s all here for you. We are all here for you!

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
I have a motto:
If you could do it on your own, you would already be there by now. If I didn’t make real wellness a part of my life I can’t imagine what state it would be in right now! This is YOUR LIFE Be the best it can be or coast through? You know what? Sometimes you don’t even know you are on a path to mass burnout, over scheduled, overworked, over run until something forces you to stop. And that’s not always going to end well! Remember learning how to drive? Stalling, remembering indicators, mirrors, road rules, speed, wipers! Now what’s it like? Follow a GPS, select music, talk, follow Instagram, fix your hair, eat your breakfast…. Not that we all DO this but sometimes I don’t even remember how I got to my destination! It’s in our subconscious now, we don’t have to think about how to drive anymore, we know it. It’s a habit and the qualities of our habits=the quality of our lives. Many people don’t have good habits- ones that serve them like real wellness, a habit like this has real benefits! I have found sooooo many people look after their ‘stuff’ belongings better them their lives and when life is broken you can’t buy a new one- not yet anyway! BUT YOU CAN RENOVATE THE ONE YOU HAVE! Let’s have a life renovation! Because you know what? It doesn’t have to be perfect, just perfect for you So, what does it take to renovate your life?

We are opening registration for the general public in a few days for a short window of time. However, this exact deal the one I am offering now, will only be made to those who have this book. One of our clients wrote me a letter shortly after she became an Ultimate Wellness Member: She wrote: Dear JC, Things are amazing for me since I started RW Ultimate membership. I was in a bad place and I didn’t realise how bad it had become, trying to cope with work, fighting with my partner all the time, no time for myself, I was eating on the run and skipped the gym because I felt so tired and like I was always on a treadmill! The irony

WHY WELLNESS IS F*D
Your team have made me feel like part of the family. I get why you call it the 3rd space now – it has become a second home for me, I can really be myself here! Who knew I would love yoga classes and reformer HITT holy … changed the way I looked at fitness. I’m toned, slim and in control again. I was made redundant a month ago and almost lost it. I even tried to cancel my appointment but when I called your wellness coach Gemma really listened to me and I came in to see Ilana for Kinesiology – never had that before! I thought I would mainly use the massage and osteo every now and then when my back played up at work. But man, I had no idea all this was possible. I feel so empowered and alive and I can do anything. Thanks to you. Forever grateful to have you guys in my life and in my corner! Love Sally Morris –Jones
