Read about Coach Libby’s perspectives on Emotional Cheating.

Emotional maturity comes with life experience, time and understanding ourselves. When we have emotional maturity, we can regulate our emotions, understand them, let them flow as necessary and have better communication skills with others. We do not blame others for the way we feel but express how a situation has triggered our feelings. We can talk, listen and resolve. If we provide a safe space for each other to express feelings without judging, then getting heard becomes easier. If we trust that we cannot fix someone, but rather help them if they ask for it, then our help becomes invaluable.

Benefits of regular exercise:

• exercise increases gut microbes that assist in the production of short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids reduce the risk of inflammatory diseases as well as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease

• exercise strengthens your heart and improves your circulation. The increased blood flow raises the oxygen levels in your body

• regular exercise can also lower your blood pressure and triglyceride levels

For optimal health, we need to start from within. From our mouth, through our gut, intestines and out the other end… it all needs to be nourished in the right ways for balance and optimal health, reduce autoimmune diseases, allergies, weight management, mood and emotions.

It is important to communicate what you feel, and to understand the needs and wants of the other.

Asking someone where you stand can feel uncomfortable, especially as we usually prepare for rejection. We tend to give our power away. But it is just as uncomfortable for the other as well. So, to feel centred and certain about standing your ground, will give the other the same power to let their feelings out and trust you. Even if this means the relationship will end.

Having a healthy relationship with food and our bodies automatically puts us in a positive vibe, giving us the tools to make the right food choices for our bodies and mind. Listening to our intuition and feeding ourselves what our bodies crave.

So what foods should we be eating? Well, whole foods of course!! Real food that is grown, pasture fed, (preferably chemical free) and intended by nature. The more vegetables we can consume in our diet the better off we will be. Small amounts of meat, fish and whole grains will help balance out our protein, fat and carb ratio.
