If You Don’t Feel Good – Try This

1. Get clear about how you want to feel.

Most of us are very clear about what we don’t want, yet when asked, “What do you want?” we get stuck. Follow your energy. What are you being drawn to do and how does that make you feel? Focus on what you want.

2. Have a dream or a goal that excites you.

3. Learn you can’t control everything. Your job is to step forward in the general direction of your dreams and goals. Do what you can with what you have, in the moment.

4. Surround yourself with inspiring people, books and resources – these are great sources of nourishment, inspiration and creativity.

5. Learn to be your biggest cheerleader and wisest coach. This takes practice. One of the best ways to practice this is to ask 2 questions in any situation.

How did I contribute to this? What can I learn from this?

If you are going through challenges, what constructive strategies do you use to feel good? 

What is your creative blueprint?

How would you describe yourself? If you had to truly articulate how you see yourself,how you feel about yourself and how you identify yourself, what would be some of the words and descriptions you would use?

If you actually took the time to write down how you see yourself, you would be describing your creative blueprint.

Your creative blueprint is the foundation upon which you build your life, how you manage your career, how you manage your team, your relationships and every other undertaking in your life. Read more »

3 keys to a good yoga practice – a good guide to living

Woman lying1. Maintaining relative stillness throughout the practice.

In Bikram yoga ( hot yoga), we are encouraged not to make any unnecessary movements, whilst we are in the posture or moving into and out of a posture. This may seem relatively simple, however, when you are looking at yourself in the mirror, and you realize you have put your top on inside out, or feel a pool of sweat forming in the corner of your left eye, we are told to leave it. Stay focused on your posture.

Why is relative stillness so important for a good practice? Read more »
