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...

January was both an equally stressful and emotional month that has changed the direction of my life forever. Lets roll back a few months… My partner made a decision to leave the current industry he works in and move into another. A wonderful opportunity for an exciting new career and a move over 1300 kms from our home in Brisbane, Queensland to Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING...

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...

I’ll often come up with some of the best ideas at the most strangest of times. Capturing these ideas on paper has been my challenge. I often feel like I’ve got all these great concepts that need to map further, but by the time I get a chance to break it down on paper, the meaning gets lost in the process. Little did I realise that the solution has been sitting on my bookshelf for some years, unread.  It...

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...
