I’ve been thinking a lot lately about fitness, physical health and my body. On my 28th birthday this April, I spent the morning in the gym for the first time in around 4 years. I wanted to start this new year/age as I meant to go on: looking after my physical body. I had a… Continue reading How to Get the Perfect Body

The Power of Routines
I think the most successful people are those with routines that work for them. Routines are systems or habits for the things you need to do that are natural and scheduled so they become familiar and expected. This may seem boring to some, but routines work in our favour… Firstly, they take the decision-making out… Continue reading The Power of Routines
Chapter 28 – birthday reflection
This year feels important. 28 is an age that seems to mean so much to me and to society. It’s the age I will be graduating from university and so I am in a position to “use” my degree and progress post-university/study. It’s an age that often means settling down and thinking about children. It… Continue reading Chapter 28 – birthday reflection
Maximise what you already do before you add more

It feels physically painful at… Continue reading What Causes Indecision?
How to have a healthy lifestyle not just a checklist of habits
I was listening to Oprah Winfrey's book this morning, The Wisdom of Sundays, which are conversations taken from her Super Soul Sundays show. In it, she spoke to Eckhart Tolle (the author of A New Earth and The Power of Now) and asked if he has a spiritual practice and if he meditates. He said… Continue reading How to have a healthy lifestyle not just a checklist of habits

Be specific with your words when defining what you want
Words hold a lot of meaning but a lot of that meaning is personal. Yes, there is a dictionary definition for most words but how we understand them can be influenced by culture, upbringing, change, the times we live in, and context. I thought about this today because I was saying to myself that I… Continue reading Be specific with your words when defining what you want
