Time to listen, time to think
I found this article interesting https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/aug/31/the-one-change-that-worked-stopped-listening-to-podcasts-creativity – the author found that constantly listening to podcasts was getting in the way of thinking. I certainly listen to podcasts and audiobooks a lot and it made me think about how I use them. I find they’re very useful getting through housework where plenty of distraction is vital!…

What do you like to do?
In Victoria Goddard’s The Hands of the Emperor, a character called Gaudy is reflecting on some career questions that I find very wise: “You said to go through all the things I liked to do, look hard at what I do with my free time, what makes me feel challenged and excited and creative, and…

Seeing progress
One of the things I am enjoying most with personal training is getting to see my clients make progress. With coaching I always enjoyed the sessions where people came back to our coaching sessions to report back on the progress they had made. It was always inspiring to hear people making changes and making progress…

Feeling lighter
Yesterday I went into my old office to hand in my laptop, phone and security pass. It felt very strange to be there again, like being in a dream or another world. All familiar, and yet somehow not quite real. There were some moments of sadness, of regret for all the dreams I’d had for…

Helpful boundaries
I used to stay late at the office in the evening. I felt I was getting more done and that without staying late I’d not get the job done. I could tell I was getting tired in the evening but assumed I was still being productive. Then I had my son, and when I came…

Giving yourself grace
Reflecting on my earlier post about reminders, there was one important angle I ran out of space to cover. That’s the importance of giving yourself the option to turn off the reminder when it’s not right for you. As I’ve mentioned, I am trying to establish a daily yoga practice to help me relax, sleep…

Junk reminders
It’s incredibly easy to set a reminder – our phones bristle with notifications, alarms and task management apps. They can be really powerful when you first start a habit, making the change seem easy. A well planned set of reminders helps you relax knowing that you’ll be prompted to do something in good time. It’s…

Starting early
I love getting my workouts done early in the day when I can. I have plenty of energy, which makes the workout easier to start, and easier to complete. I enjoy the morning light, which helps reset my body clock so I sleep better in the evening. Right now, it’s the coolest time of the…

Not manifesting, making it happen
I’ve always been sceptical of the industry that has grown up around the idea of manifesting your dream life. But my experiences over the last few weeks do point to the nugget of truth at the core of it: Knowing what you want makes you act in a way that helps you get what you…

A new chapter
Today marks a significant step on my journey. I’ve left a role which was secure and comfortable but deeply frustrating and demoralising. And today I’m starting to follow my dreams by taking up a new job as a personal trainer. There are mixed emotions to be sure. It’s unnerving to be going from being experienced,…
