Blog: The little things really do matter

I hope you all had a great weekend. For me, it was quite a busy one.  Yet on paper, it would look like I did nothing.  I finally reorganised my home gym into a more organised structure and on with some work towards the new life coaching course I am developing too. I also enjoyed…

Article: Preventing Burnout

Burnout is real, its that point where you go over the cliff. It can come in many forms, but either way its bad. Finding a way to cope is critical, and so is recovery.

Blog: Self Deprecation Achieves Nothing. Lets stamp it out!

I am worthless. I am pathetic. What Am I doing here? I am an imposter. I cannot do this. Do you tell yourself these things? Its called self-deprecation.  And let me tell you one thing, self-deprecation solves nothing and will only make you feel down / sad / bad / worthless. The way you talk…

New running shoes have really helped make a difference for me. I was rinning before in a more general pair of gym trainers. Which are great for weight lifting, but not so supportive for running. I have always struggled to find comfortable shoes, especially for fitness activities. To add to it, England is currently in…

Blog: Maybe I am dreaming out loud

MIDWEEK: 26 November

Today is the American holiday of thanks giving.  Whilst not American, therefore seeing no personal reason to celebrate the day specifically, the general theme of being thankful and grateful in life still rings true.  Gratitude is important, and it is a really good idea to always remember what you are grateful for. If you are…
