My biggest lesson from my 2019 goals

It feels like I stumbled at the end of 2019. I left things to the last minute and then got sick and couldn’t do anything I was planning on busting a gut to make happen. I couldn’t get goals for the year finished. I also couldn’t get my head into a space to finalise my […]

High Performance Habits (book review – it’s awesome!)

This book is NOT about getting up at 5am, meditation and green smoothies. It IS about what you do, why you do it and how you feel about it. And it’s not just for high performers, it’s for anyone wanting a better life. I loved this book so much. It’s definitely a keeper (a big […]

You are tired because of the heavy weight in your head, not because of what you have done physically. Last Friday I went for a run. Little miss marathon couldn’t even do 5km. I had to walk a lot. What happened? I tried to piece together what was happening and why it seemed so hard. […]

All the pieces are there when you start a jigsaw. But you can’t force it and do the big beautiful ones all in one sitting. You need patience, to take breaks, to keep trying, to sleep on it. You keep finding 5 minutes here and there to try and get another piece to fit. Sometimes […]

My latest lightbulb moment

I recently finished Belinda Anderson’s 21 day change your mindset challenge and had such a lightbulb moment on one of the days. There was so much wisdom and important practice every day that I am really looking forward to coming back to reviewing the challenge again but I couldn’t go past implementing this one thing. […]

My celebration struggle

I think this is probably surprising to many people because I appear to be celebrating everything in life all the time. Especially with a drink. But every time I do any sort of wheel of life, review of life type program, I come up with really low scores in this area. I’m therefore putting in […]

It’s all in your mind

And your mind lies. I can’t believe this lesson comes up for me every single day. It’s Sunday. I’ve already hit my quota of running this week. But I just wanted to do a little run this morning because we missed park run on Saturday and I didn’t want to go 3 days without running. […]
