Don't let things go to waste


Make good use of everything!

Humans are so wasteful, even more-so these days, everything is convenient because humans are lazy.

I look at our waste every week, even in our own home, and I am super-keen on recycling as much as possible, yet still the recycling boxes are filled with waste, plastic, tins, so much packaging. I even take the soft plastics to the recycle bin at the supermarket every week, I really try my best.

We get our milk from the local farm, I wash out and take our glass bottles up there to refill. I go to the health food shop in town and get supplement, shampoo and soap refills, I really do try my best, but I am only one person, and it seems looking at the bags that the gulls rip open every week that others are not so conscientious.

Everyone bangs on about saving the planet, but how many people really do their best?

I am not a fan of waste, I plan our meals meticulously for the week to avoid any food wastage. I was brought up to eat everything on my plate, so I'm guessing my Mum was the same. We have a food waste container for recycling, peelings go in there, but I hate throwing away un-eaten food from the fridge, it really gets my back up.

Why are humans so wasteful? As I said above, it's a lack of respect for their environment, mother nature and also a large dose of laziness.

You see people going through the fast food drive-ins, paying for stuff that isn't even fit for human consumption, toxins, processed foods, sugars, poison! And then the bags, cups, lids, plastics get dumped at the side of the road out of the car window to spoil nature. Oh, but it's okay because they use paper straws! It makes me  mad.

I suppose you can say that today I am having a rant rather than writing a blog, but does anyone else care out there? Are you not worried about how the world is becoming now? How savage humans are? And not the savage fit hunters that we used to be, but fat, lazy, arrogant disrespectful savage humans that don't belong in this beautiful world.

Next time you go to put something in the general waste bin, ask yourself, can I recycle it? 

Re-cycle, up-cycle, donate to charity, to the homeless, fix things instead of throwing them away, there are many repair sheds and cafes all around the country that can help, don't be wasteful, be thoughtful, remember that we share our planet with all sorts of wonderful wildlife that rely on us caring for their environment. 

Be more thoughtful and less wasteful. Thank you.

Workplace headspace

  Working from home can be difficult for some, but I have been doing it for nearly fifteen years now. It's just a case of compartmentalising. I need an area to work from, a desk, and an area that I can transform into a virtual personal training studio at the drop of a hat! My old house was tiny, so it was really difficult, the dogs were ever-present, but they soon learned how to behave when I was training someone online. They actually learned so well, that in some of the stretch sessions they would start to get up, knowing that I would be finishing soon! Clever dogs. I have a much bigger space to work in now, and I can screen off the dogs into the other room leaving my sessions uninterrupted. My desk area is nice and light, a little chilly but I am also in the room where the woodburner is, so if I get cold I can light it, making my working space much more cosy too. The view from above my desk is of the Northam Burrows, and the beach beyond, we can even see Saunton Sands from here o...

Dive into your dreams!

HERE we go again........'you only live once! Make the most of it!' FOLLOW your DREAMS! WE all know this is a sort of a mantra of mine, and it may get boring for you, but being this way is helping me live my best life. I think you can tell by the photos that already this blog is all about the 15,000 foot tandem skydive I did at the weekend. That's the highest you can go without needing oxygen by the way! Ryan (my wonderful husband) gave me a skydive present for my 50th Birthday and I did the same for him. We have been waiting a few months for this to happen, the thing with doing things in the sky is that the weather affects it, and so we had already had three disappointing postponements.    THE day, Sunday 11th May 2025, this was the day, although we weren't sure even then that it would actually happen. We got to Dunkeswell early on Sunday morning ready for an 8am check in. There were a few skydivers and novices like us kicking about, nervous-excited, lots of visits to t...

Breaking the habit.

Image
  Some of you may have seen that I'm running a special offer on a new package that I've been working on? (04/05/24 just in case you are reading this 6 years down the line!) I've called it, 'Breaking the habit' because most of what I deal with in fitness and hypnotherapy is straight off the back of bad habits being allowed to run wild. We all have habits, not all bad either, it is possible to create habits, because life, for us is pretty much a cycle of daily habits and weekly habits strung together. Out of necessity I get up before 6am, not a habit, but I have to get up for work, and dog reasons! Once I've walked said dogs (definitely essential and not habit) I return to start my day mixed with habitual activity and clients. I mix up my vitamin drink and greens in a glass, in the same order, so I don't miss anything, I take my supplements, then move on to making my matcha, another habit and so far all good ones. I move on again, pouring water into a jug, mov...
