Important of Strength Training

"I really would urge every woman to consider some form of strength training. It is one of the most important things you can do to keep you mobile and active as you go down the path of life and it is never too early or late to start. Not only does it improve your balance and stability, it increases bone density, which is vital for protecting against osteoporosis. Plus there is something very satisfying about picking up a heavy box and realising you are quite capable of moving it by yourself."

Don't Cloud Your Own Judgement

"Some people’s identities get caught up with where they ‘should be’ at certain points. It is a very human thing to compare ourselves to others. But this can cloud our judgement and get in the way of going after what we really want."

Stress and Meditation

"Stress can keep us stuck in a place where we can’t focus on anything else other than the source of our stress. I find that it affects my memory and focus, and meditation is a great way to manage this."

While Financial Goals Are Important

"I do think when you focus too much on a financial gain, however, it doesn’t create good energy. It can make you feel fear because it involves putting a certain value on what you deem to be success. So while financial goals are important – we all want to feel financially stable and money is a fact of life – they shouldn’t pull all of our focus."

The Value of Excerise

"The value of exercise for mental health is widely discussed now, as well as the health dangers of having a sedentary lifestyle. Though I do think that can feel dispiriting if you have never enjoyed exercise, if you feel you are starting from a place of low fitness or if you are lacking in body confidence. The main thing is to choose a form of exercise you enjoy – or can at least bear to do – and find a way to stick with it.  Recognise what motivates you. Does being outdoors make you feel good? Are you more likely to go to a class where there is a social aspect, at a set time every week? Does it help to listen to music or podcasts when you work out?"

The Wonders of Meditation

"I find meditation and visioning useful for so many reasons. It brings me clarity, it renews my energy and it clears my head of a tremendous amount of noise. It also helps me to deal with stress."

First Imagine Your Journey

"Imagination is such a powerful thing. We can’t do anything unless we can imagine it first. So imagine practical and emotional challenges of the journey too, as well as visualising the outcome, and it will help you to get there. You can put it on a mood board so that it visually exists too."

-- Trinny Woodall

Do You Really Want It

"Don’t be afraid to set a goal even if you don’t initially know how you will make it happen. If you really want it you will find a way. You can break it into stages, find people to help you, learn a skill to get you there. Set the goal and challenge yourself to make a plan."

-- Trinny Woodall

When You Have More Clarity

"When you have more clarity about what you need to do and what is important to you, you can create space to allow you more focus. You will have a greater understanding of what your priorities actually are and you can move forward with greater intentionality and give importance to the things that nurture you too."

-- Trinny Woodall

Ninety-Nine Per Cent of Your Worries

"Bad things will happen, and you will stay strong and keep going. Ninety-nine per cent of the things you worry about won’t happen. But the fear will sap your energy and keep you stuck. For me, the sense of freedom that comes from conquering fear is one of the best feelings there is."

-- Trinny Woodall

What Did You Nurture

"Confidence, self-belief, self-esteem and tenacity are like an ecosystem, they all feed each other. When we practise or nurture one, it grows the others."
