May it flow well for you.
I wonder how you are, your business, life, family. You?
When I started to bring this month’s newsletter together I was struck by how many ideas we can have, yet time keeps moving forwards. I was going to message you around Valentines, Single’s Day and Random Act of Kindness, to remind you to connect with those you love, do something you love for yourself and be kind to yourself and those around you. So I thought I would pop a reminder in here 🙂
I wondered how helpful and kind you are to yourself?
I believe kindness is also doing the hard stuff, making decisions, getting uncomfortable, making changes, for this is actually kind to yourself and allows growth away from things which may challenge you. With others, kindness is different to acceptance. You can still be kind to others, whilst perhaps not agreeing with their behaviour or setting a boundary. Let me know what you think. I like David Hamilton’s Kindness books as they are linked with science, research and date, as well as the more spiritual side.
Here’s a quick journal prompt for you:
If you could answer these four questions what would you do:
– What will you give up, perhaps a negative thought pattern or behaviour. The key is what you will replace it with and why, so there is a positive incentive and step by step plan, we can help you if needed.
– What big decision, or little decision, risk or change will you make? And do you need accountability for it?
– What, who, where brings you joy and how can you nourish this before Spring begins?
– If you refleted back to 2022 what have you learned, loved and keep saying you are going to do? Then, if you project forwards to 2024 (or 4 months if easier), what will you have achieved, commited to, explored and changed?
Using events like Easter, Bank Holidays and Birthdays are great times to edit our journey in life and make sure we are on the path that feels best for us now, not being scared to take a new path…
I’d love to know how you get on with these.
Like anything, we can control how we look after ourselves in terms of sleep, hygiene, managing stress, good foods, happy times. I’d love to know what you think.
I’m training some athletes for events all over the world, including Olympians, and then many local races. Do what works for you, taking into consideration the uncontrollables like isolation.
I remember when I went to Sierra Leone and Ebola broke out, all you could do was manage the variables you could control….
March is packed full of thought provoking dates…..here’s just a few, let us know if we can help:
17th March: World Sleep Day
15th March: Sport Relief & Crufts!
19th March: Mother’s Day – let us know if you would like an Energised Gift Voucher
30th March: Autism Awareness Day
As you set and flow into your March goals and focus, take a pause and decide smartly what could be different and most effective, and if we can help you discuss a change, pop me a message.
Make sure, third month into 2023 they are feeling ‘right’ for you….. remember, to get something different, you have to do and think differently…?
Change is key for change, if you don’t change something consistently, nothing changes.
It’s a huge pleasure supporting so many of you through February and we are looking forward to supporting you even more in March. Check out the courses and events below, and as ever, don’t be shy to get in touch and ask a question to see how we can help.
Finally, Daniel Levitine’s book and thoughts on Ageing are profound, simple and good for us all. Here’s some Golden Rules from GP’s to live well – do you agree with any or what would you add?
BIG good luck if you are racing, adventuring, making life changes.
We are here to support you, do contact us and share your news.
