Yes & No. What choices are you making?
Your life is a series of yes and no choices. What are you saying yes to? What are you saying no to?
Every time you think a thought, move a body part, eat something, say something, do something you are saying yes to one thing and no to the opposite. You are declaring to the universe what you want, what you commit to, and what you will accept in your life. It is a vote for your life.
Each of those tiny little choices might seem insignificant, a drop in the ocean of time and choice, yet every single choice matters. Every choice you make reverberates through time and has impact now and later.
A choice is a decision, decision comes from the latin de “off” + caedere “to cut.” A decision literally cuts off other options. What options are you unwittingly or unconsciously cutting off?
For example, a choice to eat a McMuffin for breakfast on the way to work, is a vote for convenience, processed food, taste of excess salt & sugar over natural simple flavours. It is also vote for an insulin spike, hormone disruption, excess calories, and excess fat. It is a vote for long term health impacts like diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity.
It is simultaneously a vote against another healthier option that you might have eaten in its place, you have cut off all the other options when deciding on that drive through. A vote against nourishment, a vote against preparing your food in the morning, a vote against empowerment, a vote against believing you are worthy of nourishing food at every meal, a vote against a slim and healthy, vitally alive and energetic body.
Now of course one Mc Muffin will not bring down an empire, nor will it bring down your health in one bite. It’s never as simple as black and white, all right or all wrong. And it might help to think of how you’re voting every day with your choices. Water or coke? herbal tea or coffee with cream & sugar? Vegetables on the side or fries? Late night TV or early bedtime?
The big picture.
The big picture will help you gain perspective on these choices. If every day you make 9 healthy choice votes and 1 unhealthy choice vote, you’re doing well, but once the balance comes down to 50:50 or worse then the flow-on, long term impacts and effects begin to multiply.
Consider always…
- What are the long-term impacts of my choice now?
- How will I feel in an hour after doing this?
- Will this lead me towards or away from my goals and dreams?
Beware “F#ck it” choices.
I’ve said before that every choice you make after “F#ck it” is usually a bad idea, it’s a choice for short term pleasure with a hefty long term cost. excess spending, unhealthy eating, rash, impulse decisions you later regret, begin with f#ck it!
Taking this long term view of your daily choices will naturally lead to you making consistently better choices, and after a very short time, those choices, those little healthy votes become inherently pleasurable in themselves.
Every time you invest time, energy and focus in better thinking, your life will improve dramatically. Your thoughts are the greatest predictor of your future. They are the creators of your future.

“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.”

“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”

“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.

“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.
