Recently one of my readers sent me a message through my contact page. Unfortunately there was an issue with my contact form plugin for wordpress and the contact details didn’t get saved. But I would like to share with you his email. (I hope you don’t mind Chris!) Hi I was inspired mostly my your youtube video today … to do something like you – which i think we can all do and all make...

Monday Morning Walk By The River As I write this, today marked the first day of my Monday freedom. It was the first full day that I could truly devote to myself and my goals.  Although I have found the process of mind mapping to be effective for prioritising my tasks, the past few weeks felt unnecessary busy, and I felt myself stressing for no apparent reason.  Starting the week completely different was exactly...

After eating one too many Magnums to acquire free Gold Class upgrades, it was about time to appreciate another Gold Class experience. There is nothing better than enjoying a dessert wine & a hot chocolate in the cinema!  I pressed the button to start my seat reclining in preparation for the commencement of “Julie & Julia”. Julie Powell’s goal was to make her way through 524 recipes from Julia...

I’ve noticed lately that I’ve been struggling with my time management. After a busy day at work, I’m not coming home with a focused mind ready to achieve the tasks at hand. Part of the problem is due to the fact that I’ve had too many projects on the go at once – and I’m trying to do them all simultaneously. I’ll start something; I’ll think of something else 20 seconds later, and then I’ll...

Time for another challenge! Every morning I must wake up 45 minutes earlier, in order to find my ideal morning ritual. I’ve never bothered with a ritual in the past, as I’ve always felt like I haven’t had enough time (after sleeping in). It’s about time for me to devote more moments to myself each morning to practise meditating, goal setting, exercising, reading and more. I’ve been monitoring twitter...

From the 31st of August to 4th September, I set out to solve one of my biggest challenges. Can I be a morning person for five days straight?  This week was all about testing my will power and changing my mindset in preparation for whats to come. I also really wanted to capture the sunrise on video, so I decided to take my HD handycam with me to capture my journey. Part One: Day 1-3 Part Two: Day 4-5 Day...

After a recent illness leading to the loss of my voice, I never realised how much value we place on being able to express ourselves on a daily basis. It was aggravating to know you had something to contribute, but not the means to do so. I’d often forget and attempt to yell out and but I was soon reminded of the dilemma after hearing the sound of  my squeaky little croak. As you could imagine, I was getting...

On Monday morning I decided to make a video of my morning ritual before heading to work to start the week off. I’ve always loved getting the camera out and being the cameraman.  However, ever since I was a young child I’ve avoided being the one featured on screen. When I look back at all the footage of our home movies, if I wasn’t being the camera person, then I’d always quickly duck out of scene! So...

To accomplish anything in life, goals must be set. If you have no goals, you have nothing to work toward. You are more or less wandering around in the dark, hoping that something good comes out of nothing. Fortunately, you have the ability to buckle down and focus on what it is you want to accomplish and you can do so methodically. However, there are two main areas of goal setting that you must concentrate on....
