Happy September!
Grab a drink, settle in and take a moment to share your priorities for the month. What do you want to achieve this September? Take a moment to jot down some notes, and feel free to share if you’d like any support.
I was listening to a podcast which said the size of our problems is the size we can grow too – so if you have problems, distractions, procrastination or overwhelm, what can you do solve these, who could support you? For if we get help with this, we can evolve our life…. and interesting thought.
Adventures in Nature
The top photo was taken on the 1st Sept at the Summit of Pen Y Fan by an amazing couple – carrying their 7 month old, breast feeding on the summit and being 4 months pregnant with number three. I loved their resilience and courage, the little one giggling despite the weather.
Summit 2, Sugar Loaf saw a little more of a view, and the photo was taken by the father of 7 children, in dresses, skirts, climbing for the first time – I loved meeting these two different families. With the weather, I didn’t see anyone else, aside from the Mountain rescue doing an rescue…..so that’s my final training sessions done for the MacMillan Triple Charity challenge on 8th, 14th and 21st Sept, eek! Thank you for all your support, I value every one of you.
MacMillan Triple Charity Challenge and Fundraising
You can read more each week here for MacMillan, I will be carrying several golden souls in my thoughts, friends who have lost loved ones with every step, thank you for sharing all your stories.
Whilst the charity triple is for MacMillan, they have asked for a mini fundraise, which feels awkward to add but relevant as we remember Jenny (pic in red) this September and for Suicide Awareness and Support day on the 10th, you can read more if this resonates for you here and if I can support you in any way, please do get in touch.
Energised questions which could help you refine your focus and make the Autumn count.
Take half an hour and get creative, let me know how you go….
ENERGISED MINDSET ACTION
– What are your top 3 priorities to make happen before the end of 2024 and do you have time for them? What can wait for 2025…sometimes it can help to plan Jan – March and April – June priorities to get focus.
– What’s your WHY for these priorities and goals? Why do you want to do it, and why does that matter?
– When is best for you to achieve these goals, during the summer or winter months in terms of daylight, wellness, family and life commitments?
– What do you need to make happen? Plan your key actions to take in your diary as a commitment. Ask for support and factor in recovery weeks and a couple spare weeks for unexpected illness, life stuff etc which may delay your goal, commitment is key yet flexibility and adaptability perhaps even more so. Remember to make something happen you have to change your habits, mindset and daily routines, that’s the key.
– Make time for basic self care, good sleep and nutrition, movement, strength and happiness. Although these sound simple (or maybe tricky if short of time), they will totally help you make your goal happen and stay well doing it. If there was one thing, it would be sleep and digital switch off each day, they are your hidden ninja’s.
– Support and accountability, get your friends and family involved or ask for professional support – investing in this can be a game changer and make you accountable. Start to believe you can and enjoy the journey – be brave to share to a few people who really matter to you.
– Have a what if plan to embrace your fears….what if you get injured, ill, family /life / work gets in the way, etc how will you cope and adapt?
-Enjoy every week – adapting, celebrating, learning and finding joy in a great or tough week.
I’d LOVE to know how you get on and if you have any questions. There is quite a lot here but I feel it will be really helpful for your Autumn if you take action on it.
