Create healthier habits

Busy end-of-year schedules can make it easy to put your health on the back burner. We caught up with My health for life Health Coach Kate Freeman to discuss the health checks many people skip, the signs not to ignore, and the small, practical habits that can make a real difference to your long-term health.

Most people have noticed it at some point. A few days of poor eating and not much movement, and everything feels a little harder. Your thinking gets cloudier, your patience thins, and the evenings feel longer. It’s not in your imagination. What you eat and drink how much you move directly and measurably affect your mental health.

Spring has a way of making everything feel a little more possible. There’s a shift in the air, a collective exhale, and we find ourselves quietly taking stock.  This Spring let’s take a different angle to making small changes to freshen up our routines. Let’s look at the quality of our connections, and the everyday healthy habits we can build to improve them. 

As the weather cools across Queensland, our daily habits often shift without us even realising. But winter doesn’t have to mean putting your health on hold. If you’ve been thinking about how to boost your energy or build healthier routines, now is a great time to start.

Whether you’re looking to clear your head, move your body, or simply break out of the same old routine, Queensland in winter hands you every excuse to try something different and enjoy the outdoors no matter your pace, budget, or starting point. If you’ve been searching for how to get healthy, this is your moment.

After meeting Mandy in our first blog, you might be wondering what it’s actually like to work with a First Nations Health Coach, and what happens during your time in My health for life.
