Easter, the start of Quarter 2, 2025, to the end of July, or the school holidays. The opportunity for a reset. Stop the car, handbrake on, into neutral, ignition off, the speedometer at 0. Time to breathe… and think. What’s going on for me right now? What’s most important, my priority, one thing (there’s no…
Are you complete? You’ll know if you’re not. There will be something niggling on your mind, something that keeps you awake at night. Or an uncomfortable sensation in the body. We will never get everything done, complete, as there will always be something else. But what you can do is have everything handled. An outstanding…
What do you do if you have a good idea? Or someone says something that would be good to remember? Today, more than ever before, we are exposed to so much potentially useful information that we hit the paradox of choice wall. With so much to take in, never mind act upon, the options become so…
What happens happens. Resist reality and reality wins. Every day. But you do have the option to reframe what has happened to something that empowers, rather than disappoints you. Like it’s a lesson learnt. An investment in my future self. Or a stepping stone to whatever’s next. You choose. I’m currently compiling content for…
What’s in your diary this week? What’s there are the things you’ve said Yes to (and yes, you do have a choice – sometimes we forget we can say No). If you’re clear on what’s most important to you, then it’s a quick integrity check how life is going. I use 3 priority values –…
63 years young today. If you had asked me in my teens what I would be doing in my 60’s I would have said pretty much that life was over and winding down. I’m actually enjoying coaching small business owners as much as when I started 10 years ago. Completing three insane CrossFit sessions a…
I love the concept of appropriate effort, which I discovered from the Alexander Technique. I don’t drive my car any better by tightly grasping the steering wheel. Hit a golf ball further by squeezing my hands around the golf club. Or lift heavier weights in the gym by clenching my teeth. Anything more than appropriate…
Distinguishing a bloody good reason to do something helps to have the discipline to follow it through. If you are clear on your values – what’s most important to you – and you visualise the desired outcome, you create bigger picture perspective. For example, a few years ago I thought it would be a good…
If I’m sweating the small stuff, a lot of my energy goes into things which in the bigger perspective are not that important. When I play a bigger game, I go beyond being concerned about the smaller things, which then, rather than occur as the ‘be all and end all’, seem to take care of…
