I’m a firm believer in the adage ‘if you give a busy person something to do they will do it’. I know when I am moping around, with time up my sleeve, I procrastinate and make poor use of my time. When I am flat out and everyone wants a piece of me, I am super productive…until it all comes crumbling down. Finding a...
Some people love to be busy, some like to look busy, and some would prefer the notion didn’t exist. There’s nothing wrong with any of the above, particularly when we consider Shakespeare’s statement “nothing is right or wrong, thinking makes it so,” however it is interesting to analyse the different ways in which people...
Change! It’s scary but necessary to move forward. I’ve written about the concept of change before – it’s a part of life that I have always struggled with. I embrace the fact that to be successful it’s essential to move outside your comfort zone. As I always say, if you keep doing what you are doing, you’ll keep...
It’s time to start practicing what I preach. For the most part I do follow my own advice but the one area where I often fall down is my meditation practice. I had a session with a Chinese Medicine Herbalist and acupuncturist last week. Francis from Balance Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine suggested that I had way too...
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…that was my anthem for my 25th birthday. When I turned 25 I had a bit of a meltdown – I called it a quarter life crisis. I cried at my party, into my glass of red, and continued to for the week that followed. I had so many things that I had planned to achieve before turning 30 and...
The other morning I was getting dressed for work, with my phone in one hand texting a photographer about a client photo shoot planned for later in the day, coffee cup in the other, with my mind on everything other than what I was doing at that particular moment in time. Now tripping up the stairs and spilling my...
“One of the worst things you can do is kill somebody’s TA-DA!” I’ll never forget these words spoken by the amazing Amanda Gore. Amanda was a keynote speaker at a conference I was managing back in 2009. I have listened to hundreds of guest speakers over the years and Amanda’s speech really stuck with me. Amanda’s an...
Meditation is one of the best tools to balance our emotions and let go of stress and tension…that is until you get so frustrated with the incessant thoughts running through your head that it defeats the purpose of meditating. I have always struggled to meditate. My brain goes a million miles an hour and I used to get...
“Walking is man’s best medicine” – Hippocrates I’m sitting back reminiscing about my trip to Europe last year thinking how healthy and full of life I felt. We walked miles every day. In Santorini we meandered through the streets, took a trip down to Oia and walked down to Ammoudi Bay for a dip in the ocean. Along the way...
I am a hoarder. I admit it. I really struggle to let go of my belongings. I have clothing that saw me through my teens and I keep it, not only because it still fits which makes me feel super, but because fashion is cyclical right? Animal print will always come back, so will florals and ripped denim so I would be...
