  • OnTheBeach: Too Much of a Good Thing is Toxic

    As you may know, this year I have got into the habit of switching off my computer on a Friday night, and not switching back on until Monday morning. It’s a nice habit, and one I’m happy to continue – you wouldn’t believe how much more time you have at the weekends when you’re not…

  • The Nuggets of Gold That Pave Your Golden Path to a Joyful Life

    A couple of weeks ago, in my wrap up of the March Daily practice, I talked about treating the things you try as experiment, rather than just assuming you failed if things don’t work out exactly as you planned. After having similar conversations with all of my current coaching clients (plus a few friends, old…

    OnTheBeach: Stop Feeling Powerless and Become A Terrier

    I was talking to my yoga teacher last night about problem-solving, and how if there’s a problem you try a solution and if that doesn’t work, try something else, and if that doesn’t work, try something else…and so on. My yoga teacher says “yes, you’re a terrier – not everyone is like that!” Really? They…

  • OnTheBeach: Stand Up For Who You Are

    Most weeks I notice a theme developing in coaching sessions, where all my clients that week (and often me, too) are dealing with a particular issue, whether it’s focusing on self-care and rest, taking action, blasting away fears or a myriad of other themes. It’s not often that a theme runs into 2 weeks though…but…

  • OnTheBeach: Ditching What’s Not Working

    A couple of weeks ago, I finally got the site stats sorted on my ‘other’ website – this is a website I set up specifically for my ebook. The idea was that through this website, I would promote this ebook, and boost sales. Now, I knew this hadn’t worked, because sales had not been boosted…

  • OnTheBeach: A Triad Of Newness for the Real New Year

    Can you feel it in the air? The newness? The awakening energy? The revitalisation? The uncovering, unfolding, blossoming? The revival? It’s in the air, it’s the Real New Year. Humans might decide to call the New Year January 1st, but for me, nature has a better handle on when to celebrate a New Year. Spring.…

  • March Daily Practice: Send Your Peeves Packing

    We often ‘put up with’ things because they seem unimportant, not a priority, something to do ‘tomorrow’. All those little peeves, things that irk and irritate you, that pique and vex you, that are annoyances and gripes…but not quite so irksome that you need to do something about it NOW. After all, there are usually…

  • OnTheBeach: Embrace Your Ebbs

    OnTheBeach: Embrace Your Ebbs

    As regular readers may know, I do a practice called the morning pages every day. As part of my Morning Pages, I check in with body, mind, heart and soul. On Monday, I was feeling very Monday-ish. I have a to-do list as long as my arm, I’d got a busy week ahead, I really…

  • The Love You’ve Always Wanted

    The Love You’ve Always Wanted

    Imagine being loved the way you’ve always wanted to be loved – unconditionally supported, encouraged, nurtured, empowered, adored and cherished. Imagine someone seeing in you the beauty, the unbridled potential, the wonderful qualities you embody – seeing the best in you, even when you are at your worst. Imagine someone seeing right into your heart…
