 Christmas can bring out some feelings, an anxiety is one of them. Perhaps you're away from family, struggling with finances or feeling overwhelmed with the kids home from school for weeks on end.
Firstly, it's okay to feel this way. Recognizing how you're feeling is important because then you can do something to help yourself feel better. So what can you do? Here's my top 3 tips: TIP 1 - GIN. No, not a🍸🤦♀️... GIN = Get In Nature. Studies have shown a decline in anxiety levels of participants after exposure to nature. Lifting your mood and lowering anxiety are two ways being outdoors may be good for mental health. Memory improves, as does the ability to focus. Some people also experience a boost in creativity after being in nature. TIP 2 - Speak to someone. If you don't have a friend, partner or family member you can safely vent to, call Beyond Blue 1800 512 348 or go to your GP for a mental health plan - 6x 50% subsidized (through Medicare) sessions with a psychologist. While we're on it, let's remove the stigma around seeing a psychologist - it doesn't say anything about you other than the fact you care about your mental health. TIP 3 - Less 🍷🍺🍹 🖥📱, more 🥑🍎🥦🥪🏃♀️🌳. I'm not saying pour your Moet down the sink and disconnect all your devices... just a little less of the stuff that makes you feel like crap and a little more of the stuff that makes your body more fun to live in. 💜 If you're lacking motivation and need a friendly push - we can help!

Hello and Welcome!
Hi! I'm Amanda and I'm so glad you found us. We would love to help you reach (and maintain!) your health and fitness goals.
I started She's a Knockout in 2009 after discovering for myself the life-changing benefits of healthy eating and regular exercise and becoming a qualified personal trainer and boxing instructor - I wanted to empower other women by sharing this knowledge! I've lost over 20kg myself and have kept it off many years and 2 kids later. Along the way there's been challenges - learning about nutrition and exercise, struggling for years to fall and stay pregnant, then sustaining a healthy and active lifestyle while raising young kids. I've personally selected a team of positive, empathetic, encouraging and professional female trainers to help you lose weight, get fit and feel strong, sexy and confident! We specialise in training women in all stages of their lives, including prenatal and postnatal. We come to you in many locations across Perth & Brisbane - whether it's your home, local park, apartment gym or office. We bring all the equipment and will come at a time and place that suits you. |
