Balance. Is it ever really attainable?
Lately I have been very focused on my work. Mainly because it’s something that I LOVE doing! I am so clear on my purpose for the first time in my life, so clear on my vision, that I’ve been trying to pull it towards me as fast as I can. I’m learning that patience is most definitely a virtue.
What happens to you when conflict arises?
Do you have your set way of being, does your body respond and go into auto-pilot?
Usually we go one of two ways, either towards, or away from conflict. I am definitely the former. This doesn’t mean I am searching for conflict, or ‘stirring the pot’ – but I’m the type of person that seeks peace with people. Ironic that I veer towards conflict no?
Spring is all about renewal, new life & fresh new beginnings.
Come turn over a new leaf with Sarah Hunter & I as we take you through an inspiring morning of Yoga and Life Coaching.
This year has been a challenging one for me on a personal level. 2014 has been pushing my buttons, testing my boundaries, it’s prompted me to claim my position, define my values, and rule out my tolerations. It’s been challenging, painful, eye-opening and exhausting. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s provided me with a powerful source of awareness, clarity and growth. Nothing great ever comes out of my comfort zone anyway.
I had an eye-opening conversation with my life coach this morning (and yes, even coaches have a coach! Just quietly – one of the best things I ever did)
She asked me if I considered myself a successful woman?
I had to pause.
Having a fulfilling life, not just an impressive lifestyle has been cropping up a lot lately. The whole notion of living on purpose. Being conscious about the choices we make, the way we lead our life and the type of lifestyle we get to create.
Do you know that YOU get to create your life?
A big part of being human is being told we should tolerate lots of things we don’t like, you know the story – “Don’t complain…” “Life is difficult…” “Don’t rock the boat…” etc. It’s all good advice, but sometimes our tolerations compromise our lives.
Sacrifices drain you. They also get to be a great excuse for not making things happen.

Why am I here?
I have done a lot of thinking, refining, meditating, and brainstorming on this question over the years. All of which has led me here, to Love Your Life. Your life purpose is not generally something that can be worked out quickly – or is it?
If you cant figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you straight to your purpose.

When I ask most clients what they want in their life, the answer is unanimous – ‘to be happy’.
I too used to say the same thing when asked this question, but now I don’t believe this is a good enough measure. It’s the first worlds dream isn’t it – ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’. But is our relentless pursuit of pleasure causing us to be miserable? [Read more…]
‘Become selfish’. To most people this statement sounds exactly what it states – selfish. An instruction to become a naval-gasing, egotistical and self centred human being.
Selfish. A little word that comes with a WHOLE load of luggage. I’m sure we’ve all been accused of being selfish at some point in our lives, it doesn’t feel very nice does it?
