"My weight concern gets me down, i can barely make it up and down the stairs, and especially after a long day my feet are so swollen i can hardly move." The voice of one of my last clients last December on their first appointment with me.

Does this not sound all too familier though for the majority of us? and I am not just talking about the un-privilidged few, I am talking about the majority of our species!

Reading thousands of articles, books and listning to hundreds of hours worth of health and wellbeing seminars, I absolutely know that the information for health, happiness and most importantly of all FREEDOM is out there for each and every single one of us. However, it is like the more we fight against obesity, diabetes, cancer's, stress, heart disease "just to name a few," the more the problem's increase and the more each of us suffers. It is just absolutely crazy!

So this is what I have done, I have taken every piece of reading material I have ever read on health, every seminar I have been priviliged to of heard on health, happiness etc and to be quite honest every piece of information that has been passed through me at somepoint, and I have simplified what all of it means. I mean every single piece of it. And it comes down to 2 things.

1) Make health and complete must in your life

2) Believe in yourself

That is it! Plain and simple. Yes there is information out there on just about every way you can get your body, mind and soul into complete shape and you can spend your entire lifetime's earnings paying some expert to fix you. But without prioritising health and then believing in yourself there is absolutely no point.

Some people say "you can't have it all." Well I say that "you can have it all!"

One of my clients approached me in 2005 and said that their doctor said if he didn't do something about his weight very soon, he would most certainly die. He said that being over 300 lbs was scaring his arteries, placing pressure on all of his organs, his colon would certainly develop cancer within 10 years. What type of life is that? Worse still, he had no self belief that he could do anything about changing it around. He knew full well health had to be a priority but didn't have the self belief to follow it through.

This is exactly why you must have both in your life! And it is never too late "as every moment that passes by is a chance to turn it all around." (Vanilla Sky.) You are not too old or too fat or even too dead "until you are dead," to make the change of a lifetime.

So my message for you today is to take control of your health your wellbeing and set yourself the inner game of ultimate self belief. As it is such a beautiful journey. Life is for living and for no less than 100%

This is what I call FREEDOM.
