Live With Greater Ease

This letter is aimed at encouraging you to try to live with greater ease. Sound worth trying?? Well, one of the factors that I think is essential is trying to remove the boxes in your life. Many of us keep our sport box and our social box and our work box etc totally separate and I wonder what life could be like if we got rid of all the boxes and just had life. Perhaps there would be more room for creativity….

Trust your Inner Reserves

I have just run the South African Xtrail again an amazing race. It takes place in the Koggelberg Mountains and nature reserves around Kleinmond in the Cape. What an event it is.... a trail race straight from the heavens. The first day we ran 26km through the Harold Porter Nature Reserve. We had the opportunity to run through an indigenous forest and biosphere on this pristine day. It was tough and demanding, but it was worth the effort!

Yet many of us stand with our hips slightly backwards and keep our pelvis in a flimsy slightly disengaged position in our every day life.

So I blinked and it was half way through January and I have a real sense of the possibility of making this year easier. I set my intention for this year and I have had huge opportunities to explore the concept of what this really means already. My intention is to ‘let go’ more fully than ever before. My philosophy is that we should be aiming at living with effortless ease and my work aims to assist people to rewire themselves to find effortlessness by default.

Reflections

It is November and if you are anything like me you are already starting to reflect on this year that has nearly gone by. I have one piece of advice for your reflection; start with what you accomplished and what success you manifested. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of judging yourself harshly and discouraging yourself with what you never managed to create. Try to do it the other way around this time. I like to write down my thoughts starting the list with:
