I recently had a clear out, or rather “a passing on” of a few books, primarily to make way for new ones, but nevertheless some where more difficult to part with than others. I love my books, I feel a sense fulfilment in finishing a great text, I always have – but with space atContinue reading “A given book, a given place…”

Finding the mood? From classical to heavy rock…
I posed a question earlier… “Do you let music dictate your mood or your mood dictate your music?” It’s an interesting one as I sometimes want music to a) inspire me – when training for example – the right tune can definitely impact the velocity I feel in an opening lift. Other times I knowContinue reading “Finding the mood? From classical to heavy rock…”
Cut the Crap!
Recently I’ve been mindful of the difference between “wants” and “needs” and in the midst of a declutter, it was amazing (perhaps as I’ve got older) to think how much more you are aware of a) a requirement or b) a ‘want’. This process has equated into a reduction of possessions and a desire forContinue reading “Cut the Crap!”
The Idea Train…
Where do we start? An idea, a small idea can blossom, I’ve been writing and learning a lot more recently. I’ve previously feared what do I write? To whom? about what? The very existence of this blog originally was to generate a positive window on the world and it will continue to be that –Continue reading “The Idea Train…”
“Limiting Self-Belief”…
Self Belief… It’s a challenge for everyone at some point. I have had to manage massive doubts – a lack of confidence, uncertainly, fear of feeling am I good enough? I think it came from a personal pressure of not having ‘experience’. How could I hold crediability without experience? Eventually, the penny dropped – howContinue reading ““Limiting Self-Belief”…”
Resting Resting 1 2 3…
Taking stock where you want to go is as good as the delivery of action. “Rest day”* presented itself with two opportunities… 1) The need to food prep the night before as with the rest of the week could be relaxed AND 2) The mechanical alarm didn’t need to be set A 9 hour sleepContinue reading “Resting Resting 1 2 3…”
Change?…Scary?
Changes that you can make can be as big or as small as you make it. It’s often been said the rest is how you react to it. We are always in a flux of change in some way, our body, our world around us but it is how we react to the things weContinue reading “Change?…Scary?”
The Fitness Sponge…
The 1.25kg plates, the endless salads, the single Olympic bar… …All starting points once upon a time (And I will never forget it). Training and knowledge of my chosen sport will continue to evolve, I’ve only just begun. We all have a thirst for knowledge in some capacity – the strive to get better, developContinue reading “The Fitness Sponge…”
5/6/7/8am Steps to Success
Step to it! (Yes I grew up in the 90’s/2000’s – BUT no I haven’t got a reunion tour ticket) I’m talking about how people start their day… I’ve been taking onboard lots of differing opinions of what folks go for in the mornings to start their day, successful business people, athletes etc. There areContinue reading “5/6/7/8am Steps to Success”
The 200 in 1 Book…
It was meant to be so well timed. A book a month, a commitment to self improvement, an obsorbing period learning from a host of authors….And I’m still on March’s text. And I am thrilled that is the case… Why? Because the book in question is Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss – The review wasContinue reading “The 200 in 1 Book…”
