  • Do You Get White Line Fever or Fear in the Final Third?

    This weekend I spent many hours in front of the tv watching sports. It’s the 6 Nations Rugby tournament at the moment, and also my football team were in the FA Cup. So, I enjoyed watching men running round after balls…don’t judge me! As I was watching one of the rugby games, the commentator mentioned…

  • OnTheBeach: Don’t Curse the Dark, Light a Lamp

    When I did my daily practice of Laughter in October 2012, I came across a video from Dr Madan Kataria, the founder of Laughter Yoga, in which he talked about the ancient Indian wisdom which says ‘don’t curse the dark, light a lamp’. Most of us have a tendency to curse the dark, to complain…

  • Daily Practice Wrap Up: Lighten Up!

    So, did you join in with this month’s Daily Practice? Did you lighten up? What did you notice? Do you feel lighter? I’ll be honest here, I noticed more the darkness, not the light this month! This can sometimes happen when you focus on something new – you notice the opposite of it more. If…

  • February Daily Practice: Lighten Up

    So, I was sat at my desk a few days ago, pondering, mulling, thinking, considering, ruminating, and racking my brains for ‘the right’ Daily Practice for February.

    OnTheBeach: Lighten Up

    So last week I told you that when I chilled out about getting stuff done, I got more stuff done. It’s ironic, right? And yet today, again, I’m experiencing the truth of it – as soon as I relaxed about getting this article written (in fact, I’d decided not to write it today!), I started…

  • What Rules Do You Live By?

    I have been working my way through the Goddess Guide Book by Leonie Dawson, which has given me a fabulous focus for my planning and considering life and business in 2013. I am loving it! One of the sections is about setting Life Rules. Not, as I said last week, to make your life regimented…

  • Video: Setting Yourself Up for Success and Self Criticism

    Watch the video here. My Daily Practice for January is “Setting yourself up for success in 2013”. This week in a few of my coaching sessions, the subject of self-criticism has come up, and it’s not a great way to set yourself up for success! The positive intention of the part of you that is…

    Setting 2013 Up For Success

    For my newsletter this week, I expanded on the blog post from last week about the January Daily Practice, so if this looks familiar, that’s why! So how do we set ourselves up for success in 2013? Not by starting a diet we won’t finish, not by getting a gym membership we’ll never use, not…
