    OnTheBeach: 10 Tips For Getting Through to Christmas Without Losing All Your Marbles

    So, today I felt like that character in Ice Age – you know the one who is always chasing the acorn and being really stressed out and hyperventilatey? Scrat. That was me! And I had to text a couple of friends to arrange stuff…and they were kinda the same too…and I’m guessing that we’re not…

    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…

Chaos screaming, chaos dreaming, Gotta be more, gotta do more.” I was listening to something today that made me realise how much I have been trying to push myself to ‘more’ – more work, more hours, more focus,…

  • In Praise of Laze

    I was talking to someone I coached about 5 years ago the other day, and she reminded me of something I’d asked her to do – get comfortable with, and allow herself to be, lazy. Like so many other things, laziness gets such a bad rap that many of us will work ourselves into an…

  • Awaken Your Inner Tortoise

    On TED I found this talk from Carl Honore, the author of “In Praise of Slow” – one of my favourite books. If you are living life in the fast lane and finding it’s not as much fun as it used to be, watch this video! Let me know what you think – leave a…

  • Chill Out

    Time’s might be tough, there may be lots of things to worry about and fret about, but how does that fretfulness help you to survive the tough times? It doesn’t…it makes it even worse. Remember always that you are a resourceful, wonderful human being and you can cope with whatever life throws at you. And…
