Intention setting helps us behave more consciously rather than passively. When we’re working to change our behaviour it’s going to be a conscious effort, it’s not going to happen without thought or intention.Often social occasions are where people feel like they’ve ‘slipped up’ with their goals whatever they may be, or behaved in a way they don’t want to behave. This can be down to factors such as being out of routine and the challenges that come with that, being surrounded by lots of delicious food, or the mindset we have around the occasion if we have tried to enforce a restrictive approach throughout the rest of the week or if we have an all or nothing mindset for example.It’s common when we’ve struggled with our relationship with food in the past for challenging thought processes to come up during social occasions - or for us to fall back into old patterns of behaviour such as overeating or restriction.So here are some questions you might work through prior to any social occasions you go to, that might help encourage you to behave in a way that is supportive of your goals and relationship with food, and allow you to enjoy these occasions so much more!If you'd like a written copy to work through some intention setting prior to your next social occasion or meal out, you can get yours here:https://www.canva.com/design/DAHEHonOA9o/3-zYnh9rYkSyd31IYoRgPg/view?utm_content=DAHEHonOA9o&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h1732b17159(it's free!)Or DM me the word 'intentions' on IG and I'll send it over on there,See you next week!Danni x

Period tracking apps CAN be incredibly helpful. I use them myself at times, and I have clients who use them too!But there are occasions where they could be doing more harm than good for you as an individual - for example if they're becoming a self fulfilling prophesy, driving up your stress levels, or if you can't stop checking them.So in today's podcast I discuss that. Talking through the facts as well as my own experience personally and that of working with 100's of clients over the last 10 years. I also discuss why it's important not to become too attached to other forms of data such as steps and scale weight, and share my own journey with moving away from meticulous with numerical data after transitioning away from bodybuilding!As always, thank you so much for sharing your time with me.For enquiries:www.dannibosworth.comIf you'd like to reach out with feedback, requests, or just to chat:@dannibosworth on Instagram

In today’s episode of The Female Fitness Podcast I talk about what people often get wrong about consistency.Because consistency IS key if you wish to achieve long-term success with your health and fitness goals.But looking at it as ticking every box every day, never missing a training session, or eating a perfect diet, is going to prevent you from achieving your goals by making it more likely for you to end up feeling like you’re failing as a result of setting unrealistic expectations.As always I love hearing from you lot - so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, requests, or if you’d like any support with your own goals!For coaching enquiries ~ www.dannibosworth.comDanni x

In today's episode of The Female Fitness Podcast I talk about all things social media and how it can impact our body image.Social media is not inherently bad! In fact, it can be used for a lot of good. But in order for the outcome to be positive we have to be intentional with the way that we use it and how much time we spend on it.So in today's podcast I talk about how you might audit your social media use to make sure you have a more positive relationship with it, and to reduce the likelihood of it having a negative impact on how you view your own body!So I’d love you to reflect on the content you choose to expose yourself to on social media and ask what effect it’s having on your relationship with yourself, others, and on how you feel on a daily basis.If you’ve been on a journey when it comes to your relationship with social media - I'd love to hear from you!Danni x

I've recorded today's podcast to help you understand WHY you might be struggling to sustain your efforts, and course correct so that you're able to actually achieve long-term success with your goals rather than you throwing in the towel.Let me know if you enjoyed today's episode,And please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or feedback. I LOVE hearing from you lot!Danni x

I often talk to clients who want to get into resistance training, but are a little worried they might feel 'bulky' as a result of doing so.I understand this fear, especially when you might be exposed to many people on social media who do look more jacked than you might like!But here's why that doesn't need to be a concern for you, and why you SHOULD incorporate resistance training as a part of your life - because it could genuinely transform the entire trajectory of it and how you feel in your own skin.Danni x
