It’s Important To Understand This When It Comes To ‘Caring’   

Today’s article is inspired by a recent client conversation. 

To be more ‘specific’, it was about their wife. 

Their wife had spent the last couple of days in bed, and was feeling pretty crook and miserable. 

We’ve all been there ourselves no doubts. 

His wife had also just been the director, producer, and creator of a major school production, which had 19 different acts, and included three separate performances over a few days. 

It was an epic performance by all accounts. 

And knowing the multiple day event experience like I do – having consulted and worked on four Olympics Games and mega sporting events – I know full well what it is like when you finally get the event over the line.

What To Do When ‘Feeling Off’ Just Keeps Lingering   

Have you ever had one of those ‘bad days’? 

Of course you have. 

And then that ‘bad day’ turns into ANOTHER bad day. 

Which is followed by another ‘bad’ day of feeling off your game

And before you know it you are in a bit of a slump and left spinning your wheels, with a lingering sense of unease or overwhelm or anxiousness or apathy.

Can you relate?

I am sure you know what I’m talking about.

The truth is that I have had a bit of that antipathy for life feeling (aka: a ‘blah’ feeling) going on for a bunch of days, and now I have decided that it needs to stop. 

Enough is enough. 

So…what to do? 

This is where we are going today.

Over-Thinking, Under-Thinking And The Sweet Spot  

thought today I would write about thinking

Covering the whole spectrum.

For me, today, I was doing the OVER thinking thing.

Which is probably the one I am most often grappling with (aka: the one that needs my attention).

My OVER thinking today was actually in regards to what I would write for you.

Ha ha ha.

I was asking myself how I could best serve you today?

And my mind was spinning in over-drive.

The Upside of Doing Things You Suck At

And yes, there is an upside.

Actually I wasn’t sure if I would be able to present this article now, as I was not sure if my carpentry project was going to make it across the line.

But let’s start with a bit of background and context.

My dad was a manual arts teacher, who did an electrical trade at a sugar mill in far north Queensland.

My brother also did an electrical trade at a sugar mill in Bundaberg, plus when we were growing up, he was forever tinkering with motorbikes and the likes.

Me; I was playing a different game

3 Essential Practices To Help Avoid Chronic Diseases

I am a big fan of simplicity. 

The other thing I am a big fan of is “ROI” – return on investment. 

This applies to my work, my relationships and especially my health. 

Because, let’s face it, if our health sucks, we have no energy to be great professionally, or in our relationships, or as role models in our families.

I don’t have children, but I am well aware of the need to have adequate (and hopefully abundant) energy to take care of your kids. 

So let’s focus today on what are 3 high-ROI activities when it comes to creating energy to support your health and life goals. 

This article is inspired by Dr Casey Means, who wrote the book Good Energy‘.

A Goal Setting Blind-Spot Which Can Lead To Misery 

Goal Setting practices and principles can be pretty awesome.

Following intentional (and time tested) steps can lead to us achieving things we hardly thought possible.

And in the vast majority of cases – by following a tried and tested process – you can achieve a lot more of what you want, than if you just try and ‘wing it‘ through life. 

For instance, most businesses, which want to succeed (and do succeed), are not winging it.

They follow a process.

The ‘Goal Setting Process’ I teach is 6-steps and looks like this:

One Of ‘The Best’ Decision Making Tools (Which I Use All The Time) 

Here is what I know to be True.

With a capital “T”.

Which I will share with you shortly.

And here is what I am also here for (as in, this is my primary job on this planet): 

To help you experience the greatest possible lived experience, by being that voice on your shoulder (do choose your preferred side) that reminds you of things you sort of know but may have forgotten

I already know you have all that you need within you to thrive

Sometimes I am just here to coax it out of you. 

So back to my capital “T” Truth.

Reviewing The Book ‘Journey’ By Beth Martens  

I thought I would do something slightly different today and do a sort of “book review”, where I choose the biggest takeaways from a great book I recently read.

The book is called ‘Journey‘ by Beth Martens and the subtitle is: “A map of archetypes to find lost purpose in a sea of meaninglessness.”

An intriguing subtitle, which definitely pulled me in.

I have read about Archetypes before, and in one my online programs – Become a Natural Superhuman – I draw on the archetypes of the LeaderWarrior and Sage.

The exploration of Archetypes was probably popularized by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist and psychotherapist, who was around at the time of Sigmund Freud.

The work on Archetypes has been expanded since then (the mid 1900’s) and has been approached from many different angles.

Ai, Self Esteem And Climbing Mountains

Do I start with the mountain climbing tips or the AI?

Let’s start with the AI thing.

I had been avoiding it (AI) for awhile as I didn’t know much about it, and gave it limited attention as I focused on other things I did know a better.

But recently I decided that I needed to pull my big boy socks up, and have a look into what AI is and isn’t, and how it will affect me personally, and my clients.

Because it aint going away any time soon.
