It’s easy to change the outside of our lives, but I think it’s hard to change the inside and I think the real value for us lies in inner change. In fact I know that nothing exists on the outside that doesn’t exist on the inside first, but I think sometimes we change the cosmetics of things and then pride ourselves in changing. While our address, surname, or work title changes, little else does. I am not sure this is necessarily very valuable.

For me, I want more relaxation and still time in my life right now, so I am working towards finding the change within me that makes this possible. I have made many changes on many levels, none have really shifted this. I wonder what still needs to change within me to allow for this! I will keep you posted, if you are interested.
What do you really want to create for yourself? What needs to change within you to make this possible for you to find?

One minute USA was celebrating, the next they were fighting for a position in the quarter finals and the next they were preparing to fly home. The England team has had a similar rollercoaster ride. If we can learn one thing from these brave, committed players’ experiences in this World Cup it would be, to live in the moment fully and accept whatever comes when the next moment takes its place.

“Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.”- D. Thompson

Some how life has become even increasingly more sedentary. Our bodies have not evolved for this yet and maybe they never will. We have remotes for our gates/ garages/ TV’s and evens our hifi’s. We have washing machines to do our washing and portable phones to ensure that we never have to run to the phone. I wonder if all this is actually good for us. Why not see how you can move more instead of less in your life?

The human body was made to move. The more we move, the better our bodies function and feel. Do some of the physical things in your life yourself. Wash your car, run up the stairs, and walk to your local shop for a change instead of driving. Watch your basic level of fitness rise as you do.

Pain is more related to how much danger you think you are actually in, not how much danger you actually are in (Lorimer Moseley)

Thought for the day: did you ever consider that pain is just an alarm your body gives you to alert you to something that may be threatening your survival. In other words, pain has nothing to do with tissue pathology, it is simply a message of threat. that’s why an ingrown toenail, which is hardly very severe, can be agonizingly sore and a bullet wound recently sustained can be relatively painless.

This doesn’t suggest you should ignore pain. On the contrary, you should listen wisely to it and understand why your brain perceives threat.

Stress management is a buzz word, these days. What are you doing to manage your stress and is it working?
I wonder what your stress levels would be if you evaluated them out of 10. People know that stress is dangerous and they know that it is harmful to their health, but they never really measure it or take an active step towards managing it for themselves. I can help, call us to book! I can do a workshop for your company or for you in your private capacity.

Posture is a subject very close to my heart. I believe that how we stand and how we hold our bodies is critical to our ongoing well being and thriving. If we slouch, we strain our spines, we load our tissues, and we also change our energy.
When last did you look at your own posture and assess it with a view to improving it? Maybe when you see a side profile of yourself  as you walk past a shop window, or when you see a picture of yourself, ascertain how aligned your spine is. If it is not well aligned I can help you.
 As I teach you to stand straight, you will communicate a different message to the world and you will energise yourself while at the same time enabling your spine to stay healthy.
