Take the next step

“In a time of change, standing still is the most dangerous course of action”

~ Brian Tracy

As humans, we thrive when we adapt and change – to our environment, to the demands being made of us, to the workload and to everything really. But paradoxically, change is the very thing we humans dislike intensely.

We like familiarity. We like when we know what’s coming next. It feels comfortable when it feels familiar. Which is why we can sometimes struggle with change, even if the familiar isn’t working.

We can get caught in an inner dialogue debate of “Will I?, Won’t I?” but never make any progress unless we just begin.

And what’s funny is, that almost always, what we fear is much worse in our thoughts than in real life.

Usually, our experience is that ‘it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be”.

We have all sorts of reasons for our delay tactics

Work is too busy right now…
We can’t commit to it this quarter…
It will be easier next month when…
Funds are tight and the kids grinds need to be paid…
It’s not a great time to start…
When we lose a few pounds…
We can’t see another option…
After the Easter holidays…
When it feels right for us…

Some of these are real. Some of these are the excuses we tell ourselves, so we don’t feel bad.

Life is busy.

There’s never a great time.

There’s no evidence to suggest it will be easier next month. Sometimes, we simply need to take the next step. Get in touch if you’d like help to take the next step.

Make what matters, matter today.

This month’s theme is about being brave and taking the next step.

My brave is sharing my new website with you. It’s simple and pared back and how I’ll be working going forward.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll see changes that reflect the new site across all my social media platforms. I hope you like it. In the meantime, bear with me as I make the transition to an easier way.

We’re now mid-way through my current online programme Get Your Mojo Back on Track. From the comfort of their own homes, clients get support and accountability to make the changes needed in the areas of health, habits and happiness.

I plan to run a few more of these online programmes in 2020 and am currently taking names of those interested in finding out more. Group numbers are deliberately kept small to ensure a tailored and attentive experience so all those interested may not be able to be accommodated at the next programme launch date.

If you’re tired of being tired and of breaking promises to yourself, regarding your health and habits and want to commit to take the next step to getting back on track, get in touch to find out more.

"At a time in my life when I thought I was falling apart, I began working with Ashleigh. She has been a blessing and a rock. Her questions have helped me see everything more clearly and her support helped me make the changes needed. She is practical and real and cuts through the BS that was holding me back. I have no hesitation in recommending her work – you won’t regret it."

Clinic News...

There have been several changes implemented in how I work, in order to provide a better service and to look after my own health.

Since July 2019, I no longer see children as clients of the practice. I am happy to refer children to a colleague, who has a special interest in children’s health.

I am currently working more intensely with fewer clients as my health and energy levels permit. This new approach will mean that I will not be able to facilitate everyone but ensures that I can continue to do the work I love, without burnout.

The clinic is always heavily booked and therefore I advise scheduling well ahead to ensure your preferred appointment date and time as last-minute availability is only possible if there’s been another client cancellation.
