September is well underway… how are those good intentions going? 🍂

September can feel a bit like January.

We start the month raring to go. New routines. New goals. New rules.

I'm going to exercise 4 times a week.
I'm going to cook everything from scratch.
I'm going to stop snacking.
I'm going to get 10,000 steps every day.
I'm going to bed by 10pm.

And suddenly… looking after ourselves has become another full-time job. 😂

So before it all starts to feel a bit overwhelming, maybe this is a good time to check in.

Are the goals you set actually realistic for your life?

Do they feel doable?
Are you enjoying what you're doing?
Can you imagine still doing it in November?
And perhaps most importantly — is it making you feel better?

If the answer is no, you haven't failed.

Maybe the plan just needs changing.

Make the goal smaller. Make it easier. Pick one thing instead of six. Find something you actually enjoy.

You don't need a perfect September.

You just need something that works in your real life

📚 LOVE A GOOD SELF-DEVELOPMENT BOOK?

Then you might love The Wobble Book Club 💜

It’s a small, relaxed book club in Sheffield for women who enjoy books that get us thinking about life, happiness, habits, confidence and generally figuring ourselves out as we go along!

No serious literary analysis required 😂

Just 6 women, a good book, coffee, cake and plenty of conversation.

Our next get-together is:

📅 Sunday 20th September
⏰ 2.30–4pm
📍 Merchants House, Neepsend
☕ FREE — just grab yourself a coffee (and cake, obviously)

This time we’re reading Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman — a fascinating book about our ridiculously limited time on this planet and why perhaps the answer isn’t trying to cram even MORE into our lives, but getting better at deciding what actually deserves our time.

Very Wobble. 💜

There’s no ongoing commitment — just come along whenever the book takes your fancy.

We deliberately keep it tiny with just 6 places, so it’s friendly, relaxed and everyone gets a chance to chat.

Fancy spending a lovely Sunday afternoon talking books and life with us?

A little throwback 💜

A few years ago I was asked to contribute to Woman Magazine for a feature on core strength.

And I found this again recently and had to smile, because years later I'm still banging the same drum 🤣

A strong core isn't about getting a six-pack.

It's about supporting your body in everyday life — getting up, carrying things, moving well, maintaining good posture and staying strong and capable as we get older.

Fitness trends come and go.

But getting stronger for LIFE?

Yep, still all over that one 💪
