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

    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…

  • Do you work on your feel-good foundations?

    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…

  • Measuring Your Feel-Good Foundations

    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…

  • Are you ignoring your energy?

    Are you ignoring your energy?

    One of the biggest problems with energy that I see with myself, friends and clients is that we ignore our energy in favour of what we plan to do, need to do, want to do. We push through, force ourselves forward, burn the candle at both ends and in the middle, and generally take little notice…

  • Obstacle Busting: Energy and Health Issues

    Obstacle Busting: Energy and Health Issues

    There are times in most of our lives when our health and energy become a problem – to the point that it gets in the way of us having the most magnificent life possible. Those damn bodies of ours, right? Er, no. Listen, your body is the machine that gets it all done, so taking…

  • 5 Ways to Restore Your Equilibrium

    5 Ways to Restore Your Equilibrium

    In the past 12 months, I seem to have talked a lot about world events and how they affect us. Shocking election and referendum results, dreadful acts of terror, violence, shock, fear. And yet again, an act of terror has rocked my country. And yet again, the energy of the country’s gone hinky. And we’re…

  • Fill What is Not Full

    Fill What is Not Full

    I’ve realised lately that I’ve been chronically depleted. The signs were there…tiredness, trouble sleeping, not wanting to start work on a Monday, not getting to do my creative work til late, feeling joyless and lacking in energy. But of course, I have been ignoring the signs. Because I am extremely busy and important don’t you…

  • Are You Ruled By Your To-Do List or Your Intuition?

    Are You Ruled By Your To-Do List or Your Intuition?

    One of my friends is a deeply intuitive, gifted coach. This week she shared on Facebook that after resisting ‘the list’ for a while, when the energy was right, she did everything on that very big list in 2 hours. As I thought about this, I started to laugh…because this is exactly what I do.…

  • 6 Tips For Overcoming Writing Resistance

    6 Tips For Overcoming Writing Resistance

    WARNING!  I swear in this post, so if you don’t like bad language, don’t read tip 6! So, I book myself a writing day every week…and the idea is that on that day, I’ll work on articles, guest posts and perhaps even future books… But for the last two weeks the reality has been very…

  • It’s OK To Honour Your Needs

    It’s OK To Honour Your Needs

    So, I did a stupid thing last week. A really stupid thing. I stayed up late. We’re not talking an hour late…we’re talking I went to sleep at 5.30 in the morning! And not for a good reason, like dancing, or partying or a new lover…I stayed up to watch the election results! I know…how…STUPID.…
