    Recovery Time Is Not Just For Operations and Little Old Ladies!

    I like to make a joke that I am a little old lady (and have been since the age of about 25!) and I need my nap time, rest time and recovery time. In my late twenties I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue, and I thought that was why I needed so much recovery time…

  • OnTheBeach: Keep Your Stuff Safe

    Picture, for a moment, the scene: The Blue Screen Of Death Pops up, your computer switches itself off…and WON’T SWITCH BACK ON. Imagine the horror of realising that ALL your photos, e-mails, documents, videos, music is inaccessible. All the programs you use are gone. All your bookmarks in your internet browser are gone.

  • August Daily Practice: Let Yourself Off The Hook

    During my trip to Tenerife, I had such expectations of myself that I would do loads of work, and loads of yoga, and loads of meditation, and loads of other stuff that I would do if I was perfect. After 3 weeks of trying and failing to live up to my own impossible expectations I…

  • Podcast: What’s Wrong With Me?

    If you ever think “what’s wrong with me?”, I want you to know there is nothing wrong with you! You’re just asking the wrong question. The question you want to ask is “what do I need to learn, clear or do?” Maybe you’re missing a vital part of the puzzle – the mortar that holds…

    OnTheBeach: Stop Thinking It’s You

    Have you ever had this experience? You find a new ‘system’ for success/making money/time management/dieting or whatever…and you try it and it doesn’t work? So you perhaps try again and it still doesn’t work. So you blame yourself for being lazy, good for nothing, stupid, having no willpower, being in the wrong somehow and everyhow.…

  • Podcast: Keeping Yourself In Peak State and Your Big Dream

    There is a natural ebb to your flow – staying in Peak State ALL the time is not natural. In order to stay in Peak State as much as possible, you need rest time. Sometimes it’s not a natural ebb, but something getting in the way of your Peak State. I recommend the 3 Pillars:…

    Stop Pretending to Be Superwoman

    WARNING! This article contains swearing…if you don’t like bad language, please read no further! Last week, I posted about the gap between fantasy and reality, and shared some of the problems I’ve had since I’ve been here in Tenerife. There are those who think I should not share this stuff, either from some odd belief…

  • Podcast: Jealousy and Your Big Dream

    Jealousy is a Big Bad Monster of a feeling…but it’s also quite natural and normal. It’s also a chance for you to shine a light on what you really want, and find the aspect of their lives that is making you feel envious. Once you’ve done so, you can start taking action in the direction…

  • OnTheBeach: The Gulf Between Fantasy and Reality

    OnTheBeach: The Gulf Between Fantasy and Reality

    Working in the sun in a lovely warm country is one of my Big Dreams – it’s one of the reasons I’m creating my business the way I am, so that I can easily work from anywhere in the world. The trouble is, there is a bit of a gulf between the fantasy of working…
