Be productive, even when lazy….

In all of my training, healthy eating, reading and coaching clients, I've found one thing to give me the most powerful boost in energy.

How to control your emotions.

Not being in control of your emotions can have massive repercussions on your life.


Take, for example, the inability to manage your stress levels at work.


Say, somebody in your team does something wrong. Not catastrophic. But bad enough that you get reprimanded by your boss.


That will have a ripple effect in someone who is emotionally unstable. Leading them to feel MORE stress from their NORMAL workload later on that same day.

Why discomfort will save you

I believe a little discomfort will toughen you up

And being tougher means being happier

Reason is, we are wired for a challenge...

Not too long ago the human race struggled every day.

> water couldn't just be purchased in bottles whenever you pleased

> the next meal wasn't on-call, on-demand, contactless and delivered to your door

How to Actually Get to Sleep

Finding it hard to switch off at night?

I ALWAYS ask my clients if they're sleeping well

Because if they aren't bad things will happen

Sleep helps regulate appetite, mood and mental health

Meaning you'll snack more, feel crap and perhaps a bit down or lost each day

Not enough sleep also increases markers of inflammation

Chronic inflammation has been linked to certain diseases such as heart disease or stroke, and may also lead to autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis

Problem is, nobody knows how to sleep properly!

So today, my sleepy friends, let's go through THREE ways you can sleep bette

life without meaning

almost 10 years ago I started Raw Strength Gym

in a tiny storage room. With no idea of how to run a business.

Fast forward four and a half years and I'd grown the business into a large, really professional looking gym

...but I was DEPRESSED!

Growing the gym was my goal, it got me out of bed in the morning and fired me up!

But once I'd achieved that, mentally things went downhill…
