As we approach the end of the year, it's a perfect time to reflect on the past year and set new goals for the upcoming one. At Whole Warrior Solutions, we believe in taking a holistic approach to goal-setting. This means not just looking at the tangible achievements but considering how our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being contributes to our success.
To start, take inventory of the past year. What were your biggest accomplishments? What challenges did you face? What did you learn about yourself? Once you have a clear understanding of the past, you can start thinking about the future. When setting new goals, it's essential to make them SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound. This approach ensures that goals are clear, concise, and actionable. For example, instead of setting a goal to "get in shape," make it more specific by saying "exercise for 30 minutes, three times a week." Another critical aspect of setting new goals is to make sure they align with your values and priorities. At Whole Warrior Solutions, we provide person-centred services by considering each client's unique needs. Similarly, when setting new goals, make sure they are meaningful to you and align with your values. As a trauma-informed organisation, we understand that setting new goals can be overwhelming, especially if you've experienced trauma in the past. Take small steps and be kind to yourself along the way. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small. Reach out if you'd like help with this. As we move forward into the New Year 2024, let's remember to approach goal-setting holistically, taking into account our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By setting SMART goals aligned with our values and taking small, intentional steps, we can achieve anything we set our minds to. For empowerment with developing SMART goals reach out today! Engage in one of our services including life coaching, startup business coaching, counselling or psychosocial recovery coaching or support coordination. There's a few more tips on manifestation in the graphic below. Write the vision and believe in yourself! Happy new year! Light and Love Tania x

The Gut-Brain Connection refers to the connection between our gut and mental health. Recent studies have shown that our gut plays a crucial role not only in our physical health but also in our mental wellbeing. Different mental health issues like anxiety, depression, anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more have been linked to an unhealthy gut microbiome.
Having been a vegetarian most of my life, together with an interest in the social determinants of health, I have had the benefit of attending hundreds of lectures, workshops and courses on healthy living including gut health. For me there is an opportunity to make good choices daily as part of my lifestyle. With a lot of head knowledge, the challenge is to incorporate healthy habits consistently into my lifestyle including leafy greens, fermented foods and ensuring I eat the colours of the rainbow. I certainly notice when I do make good choices like these I have more mental clarity and my mood and productivity increases. This happens for me more regularly when I plan ahead and have healthy food available in the fridge and cupboard. Research shows one of the primary ways to improve gut health is by incorporating probiotics or prebiotics which help to promote the growth of gut-friendly bacteria. However, good gut health involves more than this. Other factors like following a healthy diet, consuming antioxidants, reducing processed foods, fasting, and adopting a gut-friendly lifestyle are all important for a healthy gut. In psychosocial recovery coaching, I believe that it's important to consider the role of the gut in mental health and work ethically with clients who may be struggling with gut issues that are affecting their mental wellbeing. By educating my clients with information on the importance of a healthy gut microbiome and promoting gut-friendly practices into their daily lives, I empower them not just in their physical health but also in their mental wellness. At Whole Warrior Solutions, we are committed to a holistic approach to mental health that includes gut health.
