Welcome to episode 2of the Midlife Reboot with Heather, me, your midlife coach and host.

Today I am talking about key takeaways when it comes to how I've approached my health, my body, fitness and that over the past 10 years.

I delve into how this approach has changed and my key mindset changes that help me navigate my changing body!!

I spent a lot of years during my forties haphazardly making decisions never really doing the deep work to understand what I really wanted. What was working, not working and why.

Today I share my lessons learned and few BIG insights to help you navigate midlife in a more efficient, goal directed way and hopefully save years of doing what I did - making decisions based on outdated beliefs.

Being motivated and STAYING motivated is crucial to getting  things done and being successful in our lives. If we live our lives on autopilot, allow our tendencies to derail our efforts to succeed and stay in a state of feeling unmotivated - we may give up on goals that can bring us happiness and wellbeing. Understanding motivation is really important when you want something, but feel umotivated to start or perist at taking the necessary steps to achieve your goal.

In this episode I break down what motivation is, what gets in the way of feeling motivated and how to increase motivation to reach your goals.

Step two on how to create a life you love!! In the first part of this series on How To Create A Life You LOVE - I introduced the idea around taking responsibility for your choices and evaluating all aspects of your life to find the areas you most want to change. It took me throwing a lot at the wall and many years and a lot of money on mistakes trying to figure this out lol. So, if you are feeling stuck and want to make changes, but feel unsure about where to start, go back an episode and listen to the first part of this series. Part two in the series is how to identify your result in life and construct an action plan to get there!! Be prepared to get moving. Buckle up for the ride. Things are going to get interesting!!

Part one on how to create a life you LOVE! 

Turning forty was a news flash for me and NOT a good one. I was feeling tired, overweight and less than satisficed with my career. I had so many things to be grateful for which made me feel guilty for wanting more and feeling unhappy with where I was at. At forty, I made a decision to make changes and it eventually led to me becoming a life and health coach. It has taken me 9 years for this all to come to fruition even though I started my business in the end of 2018. What I learned along the way, I hope to help you create much faster and with less starts and stops, and misguided detours. Becoming a coach has helped me not only create better awareness in my won life and create more fulfillment - BUT also a process for helping others do the same. In this episode, I share the first part of creating change by identifying what it is in fact that you are actually not-happy with in life. On the journey of creating a life you absolutely freaking LOVE -you need to first evaluate all the areas of life and decide which ones need changing and why. So, welcome to part one - How To Create a Life You LOVE!

When we are overly critical of ourselves, our bodies and come from a place of self-loathing - we want to hate ourselves thin as a way to be motivated. Our bodies, our results will always reflect how we feel on the inside whether we are living in negativity or denying it exists.

To move forward we must be honest with ourselves and practice loving, compassion. We open to the imperfect nature we all exist as...
