This episode is motivating you to exercise...I know, ugh BUT before you switch off, I've got a hack for you. We all know it's important to move our bodies but that doesn't exactly make us want to go for a run when we're exhausted, busy and time-poor. So, to reframe it, try thinking of exercise as self-care. Do it for your mental health! If you're not feeling motivated right now, you will by the end of this episode. So get your shoes on, it's time to borrow some motivation and get active
I never considered myself an organised person until I shifted my mindset. If we focus on everything we have to do, the mountain we have to climb just seems too steep...BUT if we just focus on one little win at a time, that's when things get done! In this episode of the Borrow Some Motivation series, we are organising our homes and putting systems in place to make our lives a little bit easier.

I posted on Instagram that I needed a mental health break from A Happy, Positive Life and I this episode I share why I needed to do this. Don't get me wrong, I love it so much and this is definitely not the end…more like a reset.People have asked me if I'm ok and I'm actually great, BECAUSE of doing this. In my recent episode ‘I'm going on a diet…for my brain' I shared how I'm struggling to switch off...ever, and it's taking it's toll. So this time, instead of waiting till I completely burn out, I'm going to stop. Take a breather and slooowwww dooowwwnnn. I only want to produce my best content and sometimes that means stepping away and resetting. This episode is probably my most raw and honest, no scripts, no edits, just my rambled thoughts and feelings.Join the Wardrobe Decluttering Challenge: HEREDOWNLOAD YOUR FREE WORKBOOK HERE-30 Day Self-Care ChallengeWhat Do You Truly Love To Do? – eBook: Purchase HEREFollow on Instagram: @happypositive_lifeFollow on TikTok: @ahappypositivelifeTo learn more, visit the website: ahappypositivelife.comTrack: Missing Piece — Broke in Summer [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusSupport the showIf you are loving this podcast, please subscribe and leave a 5 star review!

I have been feeding my brain with so much information lately that it's time for a diet...but what does a 'brain diet' even mean? Can you relate to this? My mind has felt like it's in complete 'system overload' and I just can't switch off. Somedays I feel so overwhelmed by everything swirling around in my head that I can't focus enough to get anything done! Being a mum means that you often have to do a million jobs to do at once and it can get all too much at times, not to mention adding in work and trying to find time for yourself. So I'm taking on a 'brain diet' to try and be more present, focus my thoughts and unblock my creativity. Listen to how I'm doing this, where I got the idea from and how you can get involved!
