One of my favourite quotes - my husband looks at me like I’m a complete wierdo when I love it every time I hear it! “What the hell has this got to do with WellbeingFIT?” I hear you ask. PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE. That’s where I’m going with this. Being yourself. Actively pursuing your passions and hobbies. No hiding. No molding yourself to expectations or status quo. What does this boil down to? Authenticity. Being your authentic self. And feeling happy and comfortable with

“I have earnt my crumble and custard today!” “If I eat this now, I must do that 45-minute HiiT tomorrow” “I am feeling down today.
