Our 'Mommy Weight Loss' clinic on de-cluttering and fitness

Our experts introduce us to new moms Sarah, Lila and Miranda and how their mental, emotional, nutritional and fitness needs were energized.

1) Life Coach: 5 Tips for Physical De-Cluttering:

1. Use a paper towel tube to focus in on one area of a messy room (look through the tube!) 
2. Lay white sheets over the areas you won’t be working on
3. Set a timer for 10 minute turbo tidying sessions
4. No analysis in turbo mode – Quick decisions!
5. Give yourself lots of pats on the back and savour the energy boost you get from de-cluttering!

5 Tips for Mental/Emotional De-Cluttering:

1. Stop worrying about what is going on with others. You’ve got enough problems of your own.
2.  Stop worrying about what others think of you.  It is more important to focus on what YOU think of you (that’s how you access your wisdom!)
3. De-clutter your calendar:  If an activity doesn’t rate at least an 8 out of 10, ditch it!
4. Break your “to do” list into smaller and smaller chunks – Avoid overwhelm!
5. Give yourself a break…You are ALWAYS doing your very best to make good choices and do the best you can with the resources you have at the moment!   Give other people the same break: Hey, we’re all doing our best, and we’re not perfect, but we are all special and valuable and deserving of love.
