If you are disgruntled at the state of the world and you feel that you can’t change it, you are probably right but remember, the world changes when individuals change themselves and focus on their circle of influence (their family and local community).
The world is a better place when we are each individually a better version of ourselves.

I am relaunching THE SWITCH CHALLENGE and I NEED YOUR HELP!

My goal is to improve the health & wellbeing of ONE MILLION people with this low cost, highly scalable digital health campaign.

I believe the global burden of disease can be drastically reduced by just making health simple again and going back to basics.

This program contains THREE components:
1. It provides easy SWITCH ideas that cover physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing
2. It includes an exercise to help participants find their life's purpose
3. It encourages participants to build their health tribe

HOW CAN YOU HELP ME?
1. Connect me with organisations that would be interested in this program
2. Give me ideas on how to reach one million people
3. Give me feedback on how to improve the program and make it more accessible (what would make it easier for you to follow the program?)
4. Share the SWITCH CHALLENGE to create a positive ripple effect around you

Do you have any limiting beliefs that hinder you from reaching your potential or being your true self?

Try this exercise: The first video entitled "I'm not good enough". You can substitute any limiting belief instead of this sentence and do the video with your limiting belief in mind. The video is designed to show you how your beliefs are created by your mind and if you think of alternative interpretations of events in our childhood, you can eliminate limiting beliefs.
