Bend Like Bamboo: A Personal Journey of Resilience

Bend Like Bamboo: A Personal Journey of ResilienceAmanda Campbell and I met last year and I was fortunate to interview her for one of our Be Well Conversations and join her podcast with David. Amanda’s path to becoming a Sports Kinesiologist and intuitive coach began with a life-altering diagnosis. At just 24, Amanda was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), followed by a left-side body paralysis at 29. These challenges, rather than defining her limitations, became the catalyst for her remarkable journey into the world of holistic healing. The Birth of Bend Like Bamboo In 2013, drawing from her personal experiences and professional training, Amanda established Bend Like Bamboo. Her mission? To help individuals overcome stress, adapt limiting beliefs, and optimise healing, with a particular focus on autoimmune diseases through Kinesiology. Kinesiology, for those who might not be aware, is the scientific study of human movement, encompassing disciplines such as biomechanics, physiology, and neuroscience. It examines how physical activity impacts health and performance. Applications of kinesiology include programs that can enhance overall health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve mental well-being. The Power of a Flexible Mindset Amanda’s core philosophy is simple yet profound: flexibility builds resilience. She believes that a flexible mindset impacts everything that matters – our body’s ability to repair, our capacity to adapt, and our potential to heal and perform. A Holistic Approach at Be Well Amanda combines Kinesiology with coaching to offer a comprehensive approach to wellness with sessions tailored to individual needs to support: • Letting go of stress, mental and physical symptoms• Building resilience and confidence• De-stressing with actionable tools• Connection back to yourself, your relationships and new friends• Repair, rebuild your health and life. The Essence of Bending Like Bamboo In a world where stress and illness can often leave us feeling rigid and limited, with the right mindset and tools, we can all learn to bend like bamboo, adapting to life’s challenges while growing stronger in the process.

Discover the science-backed method transforming health goals in 2025

It’s the end of January already and some of us have been into our day to day routines for a few weeks, others are just returning to dive into the year. No matter where you are on the 31 January there is no way we can do all the things we do, juggle all the commitments we have, be there for all the people we need AND maintain serenity and equilibrium without first putting on our own mask! (as the flight attendants tell us so diligently). Breakthrough research by James Clear, Adam Grant and others tell us building our health, fitness, and overall wellbeing goals for 2025 is more than a decision, it’s a system. Whether you’re trying to eat healthier, exercise consistently, or manage stress better, motivation alone isn’t enough. This is where WOOP comes to the rescue. I recently found this science-backed method which helps turn aspirations into achievable goals by addressing potential roadblocks in advance. What Is WOOP? WOOP, developed by psychologist Gabriele Oettingen, author of  Rethinking Positive Thinking, is a simple yet powerful mental strategy to help us change behaviours. It consists of four key steps: Wish – Identify a meaningful goal. Outcome – Visualize the best possible result of achieving this goal. Obstacle – Recognize internal challenges that might stand in the way. Plan – Create an “if-then” strategy to overcome these obstacles. Why WOOP Works WOOP is based on mental contrasting, which balances positive thinking with realistic planning. Research shows that those who use WOOP are more likely to achieve their goals because they: Are mentally prepared for setbacks. Feel more committed to their goals. Build better self-control over time. Unlike traditional goal-setting methods, WOOP helps you align your mindset with real-life challenges, making success far more achievable. Using WOOP for your health & fitness 1. Define Your Wish Start by identifying a specific, meaningful health or fitness goal. This could be: “I want to exercise four times a week.” “I want to reduce my sugar intake.” “I want to improve my sleep quality.” The key is to choose a goal that is challenging yet achievable. 2. Visualize the Outcome Imagine how achieving this goal would make you feel. Picture the benefits clearly: More energy throughout the day Feeling stronger and more confident Reduced stress and better mental clarity This positive vision serves as motivation and a reminder of why your goal matters. 3. Identify the Obstacles Now, get real with yourself. What internal barriers might prevent you from reaching your goal? “I often feel too tired after work to exercise.” “I crave sweets in the evening.” “I stay up late scrolling on my phone.” These obstacles often stem from habits, emotions, or thought patterns rather than external factors. Recognizing them in advance is key to overcoming them. 4. Make a Plan Create an if-then plan to tackle your obstacles: If I feel too tired to exercise, then I will do a quick 15-minute workout instead of skipping it. If I crave sweets, then I will drink a glass of water and have a piece of fruit first. If I find myself scrolling late at night, then I will set an alarm to put my phone away at 9 PM. By planning in advance, you remove uncertainty and make success more automatic. Give WOOP a try! Take 5 minutes to apply WOOP to one of your health, fitness, or well-being goals. Write down: Your Wish Your Outcome Your Obstacle Your Plan.   Practice WOOP regulary to reinforce the habit. By consistently identifying obstacles and planning for them, you’ll transform your mindset and take real steps toward a healthier, happier you. Here’s to living younger, longer, better and healthier in 2025! Be Well is all about helping you stay Well On Track with our expert team of physios, personal trainers and allied health practitioners; an amazing community of like-minded people and a ‘third’ space to nurture you.

How to close the gap between knowing and doing

After spending seven hours with our little pride and joy, 18-month-old Sophia, balanced on my hip—chasing her around the house, toddling down the road as she pushed her pram instead of sitting in it, and even squeezing in a bit of yoga together—I had a moment of clarity: there’s no way I could keep up without my regular yoga, fitness, and recovery practices. We all know what we’re supposed to do (or at least we think we do): move more, eat healthy, sleep better, being the big three. But how often do we fall into the gap between knowing and doing? I’ve stopped and started (and stopped and re-started) health, fitness, and sport more times than I can count over the decades. What’s truly amazing about our bodies, though, is their capacity to adapt and recover. It’s never too late. Our muscle memory is extraordinary—I’ve experienced it firsthand. Each time, my body has shown me its ability to bounce back with the right effort. One thing I’ve learned through all of this? Health, fitness, and wellness don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of deliberate actions, intentional effort, and proven strategies. By focusing on mental, physical, neurological, and longevity goals, you can achieve transformative results. In just 12 weeks, you can develop the tools and habits to start or re-start your journey to a healthier, stronger, and more vibrant you. Why 12 Weeks? The Science of Transformation Twelve weeks isn’t just a convenient timeframe—it’s a scientifically validated period for meaningful change. A study from University College London found that, on average, it takes about 66 days for a new habit to become automatic. That’s roughly 9-10 weeks of consistent practice. Interestingly, the study observed a wide range, from as shoft as18 to as long as 254 days, depending on the complexity of the behavior and individual differences. This highlights how personal the journey of habit formation can be. Be Well’s 12-week Well On Track program is designed with this research in mind. It about supporting people to have new habits take root and become part of their routine. Twelve weeks is the right amount of time to: building consistency, which is the single most important variable overcome challenges, whether mental or physical achieve measurable progress, in strengh and flexiblity create neurological changes that strengthen new behaviors. Remember, everyone’s path is unique. Some habits might form more quickly, while others may take longer. The key is persistence and patience. With the right support and time, lasting change is absolutely achievable! 12 weeks to a Better Body & Life Well On Track is tailored to your needs, preferences, goals, and time constraints. Step 1: It starts with a comprehesive assessment with one of our amazing physiotherapists. who will invite you to tell your story about how you got here and where you wish to go. You will be assessed using a variety of tools and techniques. This may include an examination on a massage table and a full Styu 3D body scan. Your physiotherapist will work with you to develop your 12-Week Roadmap, tailored to: your health and wellbeing challenges, aspirations and priorities the demands on your time and energy the forms of exercise and recovery you most prefer. Finally, your will be onboarded onto our HUR SmartZone, a complete, stylish training studio suitable for all fitness levels. where every push or lift you make is uploaded to your personal HUR profile, tracking your progress over time. Step 2: Over the next 12 weeks. follow your Road Map. which combines progressive strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises to boost your overall fitness safely and effectively. Step 3: After 12 weeks, review your progress, and celebrate your achievements. Your physiotherapist will invite you to share the story of your journey, update your Styku results, and review your HUR data and other data indicators with you. If you wish, your Road Map will be updated for the next 12 weeks, as you continue your journey to a longer, younger, better life. 12 weeks to a Happier Mind Exercise isn’t just about physical fitness—it’s a powerful tool for mental wellbeing too. Over the 12 weeks, you’ll experience how regular physical activity can boost mood, reduce anxiety, and improve cognitive function. Studies show that exercise releases endorphins, our body’s natural stress-fighters, and can be as effective as medication for mild to moderate depression. By committing to this journey, you’re not just adding years to your life, but enhancing your mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall quality of life.

What Lisa said…

Happy Friday “At the beginning, I justified coming to Be Well because having everything in one place made sense logistically and fiscally. What was so surprising was how it felt to do yoga, weights, cardio, sauna, and hydrotherapy all in one place. I can now bring a yogi mindset to my inner critic when I can’t keep up in my Peloton session. The perseverance I learned in Pilates class helps me stay in the ice bath longer and so on. This holistic act of caring for myself under one roof has amplified my capacity to see what each practice can teach me.” This message was sent to me by my friend Lisa who has been trying out Be Well over the past week.

A Year of 1%: The Key to Lasting Health & Wellness

Happy Friday   In 2004, British cycling suffered a crushing disappointment, winning just two gold medals at the Athens Olympics. Fast forward to 2008, and they stunned the world by claiming 14 golds in Beijing. What changed? One man’s commitment to tiny, consistent improvements. Enter Dave Brailsford, the newly appointed Performance Director. Now Sir Dave, he implemented a philosophy of achieving 1% gains in every aspect of cycling—even teaching the team proper handwashing to prevent illness. The remarkable turnaround is a testament to the transformative power of micro-improvements. Building a daily fitness, health, and well-being routine is about embracing micro-steps instead of drastic changes. Amazingly, improving by just 1% each week over a year makes you 1.68 times better than where you started—a 68% improvement. Even more exciting, a 2% weekly improvement over a year nearly triples your results! The key is continuous improvement, one micro-step at a time. Focus on progress, not perfection, and take time to celebrate the positive changes in your body, your life, and your well-being as they unfold. You’re invited I’ve explored the latest research on creating good daily habits and blended it with a dose of common sense. It’s not about following rigid schedules—it’s about building habits that fit your lifestyle and work for you. Take a moment to review the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening sections below. Choose just one to focus on for the next seven days. Aim for a 1% improvement each week, and when you’re ready, move on to another part of your day. Remember, slow and steady wins the race! Morning: Start Strong Wake Up Early Begin your day between 5:30 and 6:30 am to align with your circadian rhythm and take advantage of the cooler morning hours. Early rising boosts productivity and taps into your natural energy peaks.ural energy peaks. Embrace Morning Sunlight Step outside within your first hour of waking for natural light exposure. Morning sunlight signals your brain to wake up, regulates your internal clock, and lays the foundation for better sleep that night.hat night! Move Start with gentle exercises like yoga, stretching, or pilates. These activities gently awaken your body, especially if you’re fasting, without draining energy reserves. Meditate for Focus Spend 5–10 minutes meditating or practicing mindfulness. Morning meditation reduces stress, enhances mental clarity, and sets a positive tone for the day ahead.for the day ahead. Deep Work Window The neurological research is compelling. Between 8–11am our brain is primed for learning, problem-solving, and deep focus. This is the perfect time to tackle demanding tasks, creative projects, or strategic planning. Minimize distractions by setting clear boundaries around meetings, workspace, and notifications. Afternoon: Stay Productive Break Your Fast Wisely Around noon, enjoy a nutrient-dense meal with lean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbs. Think grilled chicken, avocado, and quinoa or a colorful vegetable stir-fry with tofu. This combination provides sustained energy without the dreaded afternoon crash. Midday Meditation Combat post-lunch sluggishness with a quick 5–10 minute meditation session. Simple breathing exercises can refresh your mind, reduce stress, and help you stay focused throughout the afternoon. Beat the Energy Dip From 12–3 pm focus on meetings or collaborative brainstorming sessions that don’t demand intense concentration. Stay hydrated to prevent fatigue and incorporate light movement into your routine. A short walk or stretching session can re-energize you without interrupting your workflow. Afternoon Creativity Boost Between 3–5 pm, many people experience a second creative peak. Use this time for brainstorming, writing, or problem-solving. The mental fatigue from earlier in the day can help loosen rigid thinking and spark innovative ideas. Evening: End Well Exercise for Energy and Fitness Late afternoon or early evening is ideal for more intense exercise. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity to improve physical and mental health. Balanced Dinner for Recovery Dinner includes complex carbs, lean proteins, and vegetables. For example, grilled fish with sweet potatoes and steamed greens. This combination promotes serotonin production, which aids relaxation and better sleep. Relaxation and Screen-Free Time Start winding down at least an hour before bed. Turn off screens to avoid blue light, which disrupts melatonin production, and opt for reading, journaling, or meditating. And now to Sleep ….. Spend 10–15 minutes in a calming meditation session to prepare your mind and body for rest. Practices like deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation( such as yoga nidra) can ease stress and enhance sleep quality. I’ve also recently discovered a new ‘cool blanket’ for hot nights and sweats which I can’t wait to try!

How to break up with New Year resolutions

Happy Friday As the clock struck midnight and the world cheered for a fresh start, many of us are already bracing for the annual ritual of New Year’s resolutions. But what if 2025 could be different? What if, instead of resolutions, you embraced a healthier, more sustainable way to approach your goals? Let’s dive into why it’s time to break up with resolutions—and what you can do instead to make 2025 your best year yet. Re-imagine 2025 without a Resolution List New Year’s resolutions often fail because they’re based on unrealistic expectations. According to studies, 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February, leaving people feeling frustrated and defeated. Resolutions are typically: Too rigid: Sweeping goals like “lose 10 kilos” or “quit sugar forever” leave no room for life’s unpredictability. Guilt-driven: They’re often fueled by a sense of inadequacy rather than inspiration. Outcome-focused: Resolutions fixate on results instead of the habits needed to achieve them. If they worked for you in the past, sure, go for it! But if you are like me and most people, think about a new way to start 2025 anew. Make 2025 About Consistency, Not Perfection Instead of chasing resolutions, commit to small intentional actions & micro-habits: Movement over metrics: Explore yoga, dancing, or nature walks. Mindfulness over outcomes: Focus on the process, not the results. Connection over isolation: Join groups or spend time with loved ones to boost mental health. Most importantly, think about today, rather than everyday. If we tell ourselves, ‘Im going to [insert new habit] everyday!’, we are guaranteed to fail. Because the day will arrive, soon, when we don’t. Rather, in the morning think, ‘today, I’m going to [nsert looking after my health and wellbeing by doing this’], and do it. Then you never fail and quickly build your success muscles (followed by real ones, if your new habit involves resistance traning!’). Your Healthiest, Happiest Year Yet When we prioritize consistency and kindness, we create a foundation for lifelong health and happiness. So this year, step off the resolution hamster wheel and embrace a sustainable, compassionate approach to health and well-being. 2025 can be the year you create meaningful, lasting change—without the pressure of resolutions. Our Be Well team are here to help, guide, support and cheer you on! Let’s make it a year of joy, growth, and balance. You’ve got this!  Happy New Year! Navigate to more articles!

Peace and Love

Happy Friday After a full, busy and sometimes overwhelming year, I’m in a reflective mood as we approach the end of 2024. For the past 12 months our family has experienced the loss of friends who have passed, life threatening illness, the incredible joy of weddings and welcoming new babies. All the things, all at once, as they say! Beyond our shores, life has been unimaginably difficult for many around the world. Family, community, place and safety – things most of us in Australia take for granted every day – are only dreams for too many people I meet and work with here and elsewhere. I am deeply grateful for our stated and declared Australian values: treating every person as we find them, with care, compassion and support where needed. We stand for freedom, tolerance and a fair-go. We stand against racism, anti-semitism and discrimination in all forms. For generations, people from across the globe have chosen to come to Australia to escape war, oppression, conflict, discrimination and threats against their life, identity and culture. I know a good number of Be Well Members, and their families, have gained refuge in Australia for a diverse range of reasons including safety and new opportunities. This includes my husband, David, who came to Australia as a political refugee from Apartheid South Africa. These experiences can be both lifesaving and deeply traumatic. They can impact our mental and physical health for decades, and unexpected events can trigger traumas we have long thought repaired. One of the excellent books in the Be Well library is The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma. The author, Bessel van der Kolk, M.D is one of the world’s foremost experts on traumatic stress, offers a bold new paradigm for healing. As his book’s title indicates, our bodies store past traumas, so to achieve true healing its essential to involve the body. Dr van der Kolk focuses on the integration of body and mind. He emphasizes the importance of regulating the body’s physiological responses to trauma through practices like yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and other activities that promote equilibrium and self-awareness. Trauma or not, the weeks’ leading up to the end of the year can be particularly stressful, including anticipation of family time. Not every extended family revels in spending up close and personal time together! However and wherever you land this Christmas or Chanukah, please be kind and gentle with yourself. Be Well will be Open for you so you can take timeout to look after you whilst you look after everyone else 🙏 Happy holidays from our fabulous team to our wonderful Be Well Members. And from our family to yours, we sincerely wish you peace, joy and love this holiday season. Navigate to more articles!

The power (& science) of gratitude

Happy Friday Summer. Beach time in Australia. Family visits and gatherings. Gift giving. The optimism and hope of a whole new year. All these and so much more can fill us with a deep sense of gratitude. We believe expressing gratitude benefits the person we thank. However, gratitude may most best benefit the person who is feeling grateful.  We know this from personal experience, and the research is in: the practice of gratitude positively effect both our physical and mental health. Gratitude helps us feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improves our health, helps us deal with adversity, and build stronger relationships. In fact, studies have found that a single act of thoughtful gratitude produces an immediate 10% increase in happiness, and a 35% reduction in depressive symptoms. When we express, and receive, gratitude our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions, immediately enhancing our mood. Gratitude has the power to rewire our brains, by reinforcing positive neural pathways and diminishing the prominence of negative thoughts. And the area of our brain where anxiety comes from is the same part of your brain that feels gratitude. Which means you can’t be grateful and anxious at the same time. I saw a guy in the airport today with a hoodie that said: ‘I’m so happy we met’ I walked past and said: ‘me too!’ 😁 I am particularly grateful that it is my 41st wedding anniversary this week.Thanks for coming to Australia DJ 🙏😍 I’m so happy we met, grew a family and, in the third chapter of our lives, I am filled with gratitude that we have been able to build Be Well, together with our wonderful team, to share our passion for living longer, better and healthier 🥰 I am beyond grateful to the Be Well community, so many of whom are friends, and more to come whom we just have not met yet 😁 Feeling the gratitude!

There is still plenty of time to get ready to feel and look fabulous for the summer. The holiday season is also coming up and for most will be a time of celebration with family and friends. I noticed when I got to a certain age, maybe 50 (late starter, my kids are way better at this now!), that more ‘stuff’ just didn’t do it for me anymore. I wanted life, health and wellbeing experiences: large, small, short or long and unique try outs as gifts. So I started giving those I love and care about the gift of health and wellbeing. If you are feeling similarly, we can help you out at Be Well with a few special gift ideas for you, your family and friends to enjoy!
