Reform Your Lifestyle – Meet Kata the Personal Trainer

Many mums don’t seem to be happy with their appearance or in general with their bodies. When working with Kata, she addresses this issue and helps to find the right exercises and a balanced nutrition for better physical health. 

However, there are often other issues that need to be sorted too. Adding coaching to the program helps parents explore their motives for change and find their core values.

Kata says: “Realizing that aims, goals and values are changing according to the stage you are in can help a lot in letting go of broken dreams and bitterness and can open a door to a more forward focused approach to life that has a place for reflection, learning from the past, enjoying the present and having constructive but fluid vision for the life ahead.”

1, Don’t let society’s perceived expectations hold you back from delegating tasks to others.

Society puts great pressure on women. Break free! Find a way to be happy about yourself and don’t let anyone else guilt trip you!

You are not a neglecting, non-liberal mom if you expect your kids to chip in around the house or at least put on and away their own clothes. This is where you teach them to be independent.

You are not going to be any lesser wife if you share the household chores with your husband or you hire help. Don’t think short about yourself if your family orders food instead of cooking every single day, or you have a cleaner. As long as everyone is fed in a balanced way and the place is reasonably clean, you work as a team, you are all good.

And sure, have “me-time”, but by all means, don’t create extra stress to find time to release stress.  

2, Be clear on your expectations and communicate them clearly.

We are good at overthinking things. But when was the last time we actually said or heard what we thought or what the other had to say? It is hard sometimes not to get hurt ahead of actually saying what we think and receiving the answer to it. “I won’t even start explaining this to you, you’ll never understand”. Sounds familiar? 

Instead, try to explain your problem, Say what you think and what you feel, and listen to the other and hear their words instead of making up their answer. 

It is surprisingly hard and extremely rewarding.

3, Move and exercise like your life was the playing field where you are the Champion.

Exercising has great effects on your body, on your mental health, your longevity, your family, everything. But there is no reason to do something that you don’t like. 

Find a routine that supports your lifestyle, that makes you stronger and more successful in what you are doing and what you are after.

4, Focus on variety and colours when it comes to your plate.

Make sure that your plate is always a rainbow of colours, your food is seasoned with herbs rather than salt, and balanced between food groups.

Pre-washed salad, seasonings, canned and frozen -but not processed- vegetables and fruit, microwave to prep, reasonable takeaway …. They are all options if you run out of leftovers.

5, Consistency is the key… A small, thin, easy-to-lose VIP key.

Changes aren’t happening overnight. But If you do your work to change, let that be food plan, exercise, or coaching, and as long as you are consistent, your progress will be there.

Don’t give up because it is easier to go back to the way you were. There was a reason for you to start breaking out from there.
