Check yourself out, inside and out
Often we’re so busy worrying about others that we forget to regularly check in with ourselves. Whether you’re a busy parent, active worker (or even both!) so much of our day can be taken up with our family commitments, job requirements and the never ending round of bills, housework and errands to run.
Taking the time to check yourself inside and out can be a positive life strategy to ensure that you’re always firing on all cylinders and don’t get run down. Take 5 to 10 minutes out of your week to consider the following things and enjoy the benefits!
“Inside”
Let’s have a look at 3 ways you can easily “check in” with how you’re doing on the inside.
Feelings
How are you feeling today? Take some time out to think about what’s bothering you and what you feel grateful for. Put relaxation time in your diary and search out quiet activities. Plan to spend “you time”. Try to achieve a better work-life balance.
Goal setting
Make a time in your week to look at your personal and professional goals – how are they tracking? It’s never too late to achieve something that you desire, whether it’s an overseas holiday or starting a new course. Need some ideas? Explore some new careers here.
Any toxic situations?
Do you have any toxic friends in your life, overly demanding family members or bad habits that you could give up? Make a list of these and slowly work out a strategy to rid yourself of things that are no longer suiting you.

“Outside”
Now, let’s have a look at how you’re tracking on the outside, how your body is feeling – after all, it is your temple!
Sleep health
How well are you sleeping? Over 6 million Australians suffer from disorders of sleep and wakefulness and of those, 60% have a chronic disorder! Make sure you plan on getting to bed at roughly the same time each night and avoid over stimulation at the end of the day.
Healthy weight
Keeping within a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the best ways to ensure that you feel your best. Have a look at the National Heart Foundation’s BMI calculator to see how you’re tracking. Make small improvements one step at a time and be gentle with yourself until you reach your goal.
Glowing skin, hair and nails
Looking at these parts of your body can be a sure way to check out your inner health. Is your skin sallow, your hair lacklustre and are your nails brittle? Make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, drink ginger tea and incorporate healthy fats such as avocado and grilled salmon into your diet.
Take time out for yourself – you’re worth it!
Remember the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert? The author has said, “We don’t realise that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace.” Give your inner and outer self a moment of thought every week and let yourself truly shine!

“We couldn’t recommend Kylie highly enough.”
“Having ongoing training is essential for our team and our business. It’s important to look after the people that look after others. Kylie has the experience, professionalism and knowledge to engage with our team and help them understand about human behaviour and why people do what they do. In the wellness and health industry it’s a different sales and service delivery and it’s imperative to keep on top of these understandings to perform at our best to help others. We couldn’t recommend Kylie high enough.”
- Amanda Bracks - Owner Soulful Fitness (2019 Fitness Australia Boutique of the Year)
“She’s the best speaker they’ve ever seen.”
“I have worked with Kylie over many years. She has helped me as a Business Mindset Coach, as a motivational speaker for my gym clients at both Vision Personal Training & now at Flow Athletic. I bring her in to train my Personal Training teams in mindset, communication and how to coach our clients better and excel in our own personal mastery as fitness leaders. At my recent Fitness Business event, my gym owner colleagues were blown away by her talk, saying she is the best speaker they have ever seen. After every event we always get rave reviews about her talks and training. I highly recommend Kylie’s work as a coach & speaker.”
- Ben Lucas - Founder & CEO, Flow Athletic
“So many things are just falling into my lap.”
“I finished the Spiritual Awakening Course yesterday and I found it truly amazing. An incredible next step after our coach training. I feel so much more enlightened and “opened-up”. It has really opened my eyes to the power of the universe and the energy flowing in each of us. I loved it – thank you.
I am feeling so lucky at the moment. So many things are just falling into my lap. I visualise it and set my intention to manifest it and it comes. Things such as getting more clients, needing help to put my business online, not knowing how to get known in my local community etc. Courses / insights / clients have just fallen into my lap at the right time.”
Of course I am still learning and growing, but the course has really helped. Thank you”
- Katharine Williams - NLP Coach, Limitless Growth
“I have never been this happy or powerful.”
“Before I signed up with Kylie I had a busy PT business… I was exhausted and on the brink of burnout and no matter how hard I tried, I had reached a ceiling in my income that I just couldn’t break through. After completing my NLP Coaching certification, I found my true voice and the energy of my business has been completely transformed. I’ve created an online program, up-levelled my entire business and totally smashed my previous income goals. I make decisions more confidently and I can help my clients create change in their life even faster. On a personal level, NLP gave me the inner strength to leave a toxic situation and rebuild myself which lead to me discovering the love of my life! Today I am living the life that I’ve always wanted – but just hadn’t been able to put into words. I have never been this happy or this powerful. If you want to manifest the life of your dreams I would not hesitate to reach out for help from Kylie.”
- Danni Vee - Women's Health Coach, My Fit Tribe
“I’ve noticed big improvements in my finances and client retention”
I signed up with Kylie because I knew that to have a bigger effect as a PT I needed to improve my understanding of how the mind works. Through NLP Coach training I now have great coaching techniques that break through all sorts of negative behaviour patterns. I’ve noticed big improvements in all areas of my life including my own personal finances and my client retention. This has allowed me new freedom to work on scaling my business and helping even more people with less one on one time from myself. The coach training has given me the ability to fully unlock the power of your mindset and those that don’t have this skill are only tapping into a small amount of their potential.
- Blake Worrall-Thompson, Performance Coach & PT
“Magick happens every time!”
This morning I had a kick-ass coaching session with Kylie Ryan. We’ve been working together for a couple of months, and she’s the perfect person to help me integrate the rapid transformations I go through regularly. I’d been getting this vision of my fully mature creative and entrepreneurial self. His discipline, commitment, and command of wealth was 10x what mine is now, but it wasn’t really about money for him. Our coaching sessions usually roll with me saying, “Kylie, I want to be, do, and have EVERYTHING” and Kylie helping me find the archetypes and parts that aren’t integrated and bringing them together. MAGICK HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
