  • When you need time off, do you take it?

    So this week I’ve been confronted daily with an energy drop to zero. On Monday I woke up more tired than when I went to bed. Sometimes, the morning routine will refresh me. This week, not so much. In the past, I would have forced myself to do the things I wanted to do, until…

  • Embracing the concept of hygge

    Here in the UK, it has turned decidedly autumnal. Well, actually it’s been decidedly autumnal for a few weeks. But now I have less hope that summer will reassert itself, so I’m preparing for the inevitable coming of winter. I have always hated winter – I thought I suffered from SAD, but it’s actually CAD…

  • Do you work on your feel-good foundations?

    I’ve been thinking about how much you work on your feel-good foundations. I check in most days with my foundations to keep an eye on them. I have daily practices that support my self-care, joy, energy, and self-love. But deliberately working on them? Not really. I need a challenge (like Joy Challenge every April) to…

  • What are the consequences of ignoring your body?

    So, you’re exhausted, stressed, wrung out. Your body is saying “rest” and you do…what? If your answer is “of course, I listen to my body and rest” you may miss this article and go about your day. For the rest of us (including me), what would you do? And, before you read the rest of…

  • What is your body telling you right now?

    I’ve had 4 migraines in 3 weeks. Plus a stung foot that led to all sorts of fun with antihistamine, itching, swelling, and ended up with me worshipping the mighty Aloe Vera plant.  So it got me thinking:  What is your body telling you right now?  And are you listening?  My body was telling me…

  • Measuring Your Feel-Good Foundations

    At the heart of my coaching program is something I call the Feel Good Foundations – they are self-care, joy, energy, and self-love. If these 4 foundations are strong, life is easier, achieving goals and ambitions is easier and life is a great deal more fun! I’m writing the book on this as we speak…

  • 368 Days of Meditation

    I recently hit the milestone of meditating for 365 days in a row. I am so pleased with myself. I first started meditating (off my own bat, not when told to in a yoga class) probably 15 years or more ago, and up til this past year, the most I ever did in a row…

  • What stops you loving life?

    I’ve been asking over on my Facebook page what stops people from loving their lives right now. Obviously it’s tough times at the moment – crazy killer virus, lockdown, job stress and uncertainty, financial stress, future stress, the list goes on and on. So what exactly is stopping you from loving life right now? Before…

  • What is Life Teaching You Right Now?

    I was pondering the other day what life is teaching me right now. I think it’s ‘surrender’, and staying in the present moment (because the future is even more uncertain than usual). What do you think life is teaching you right now? Life isn’t the kind of teacher who has a cane and a difficult…
