“Figure out what fuels your joy, then do lots of that.” – Roy Croft. It’s a rainy Saturday morning and as I sit on my lounge with my favourite candle burning, Paris cafe music playing and coffee in hand, I can’t help but to reflect upon the past 12 months. Covid has been disrupting and disorienting in many ways, however I am a believer that positive lessons can be learned throughout times of adversity. One of the biggest lessons I learned in 2020 was gaining new perspective of what is really important and to gain a sense of deep gratitude for what I have. I have learned that joy is […]

How I Get Myself Out Of A Mid-Year Slump. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle. 2020 has well and truly been a challenging year for many of us. I am yet to come across a single person whose personal or professional life has not been impacted in some way as a result of recent events. Our plans, commitments and routines have been derailed, resulting in many of us feeling overwhelmed, anxious or simply burnt out. Despite our current circumstances, I generally like to take some time out mid-year to reassess my goals for the year. What has gone well? […]

“Your future is found in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what others do occasionally.” – Paula White. I’ve been working from home for about six or seven weeks now, and my daily routine has been well and truly disrupted. I have always prided myself on having a really positive and productive daily routine. I rise early, spend the first couple of hours in the day investing in myself physically, mentally and spiritually, and then begin my usual work day in the office. Like many others, self-isolation has resulted in my usual daily routine being disrupted. Whilst I was quick to create a new work from home routine which […]

However, one thing that I have not previously shared in detail is how I spend every Saturday. I wanted to write this post as I often receive questions as to how […]

How I Stay Motivated to Work Out Even When I’m Busy. “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn. One of the things I’m frequently asked about is how I stay motivated to work out, even when I’m busy.

Aside from the obvious physical benefits, research by Stanford University has proven that working out contributes to increased energy, elevated mood, reduced stress and better quality sleep. Despite managing a busy schedule, working […]

5 Podcasts I’m Listening To Right Now. “If you want to be powerful, educate yourself.”- Jeremy Gilvrey. A couple of years ago, I made a commitment to myself to start investing more into my personal and professional development.

Over the years, I’ve listened to tonnes of different podcasts, and I’m going to share some of my favourites with you here: 1. THE TIM FERRISS SHOW The Tim Ferriss show usually sits at number one as the […]

There have been a few life hacks I’ve put in place in over the past couple of years to make every day […]

Having a solid and structured morning routine is something which I pride myself on. I love to rise early, workout and invest in my personal development, all before my work day has even begun. At some point however, I realised that I simply wasn’t putting any effort into planning my nightly routine. I’ve since learned through personal experience and from research, that nightly routines can be equally important when it comes to priming ourselves for success. Having a consistent and […]

My Morning Routine & What I Do To Win The Day. “Either you run the day or the day runs you”- Jim Rohn. My morning routine has been one of the most life-changing habits I’ve developed. I wake up at 5am, meditate, and finish my gym workout all before 6:10am. When I tell people this, they think I’m crazy. The truth is, I never used to be a morning person. In fact, I used to hate waking up early. I would prefer to stay in bed, all toasty and rugged up. Why would I want get up earlier than I had to, especially when it’s cold/ dark/ raining outside? Well, […]

How to Achieve Morning Mastery & Conquer the Day. “Either you run the day or the day runs you”- Jim Rohn “Work harder on yourself than you do on your job”- Jim Rohn So, you’re interested in becoming a morning person? Let me start by saying I used to be one of those people who dreaded waking up early. I used to snooze my alarm not once, not twice, but at least 3-4 times before I could open my eyes enough to see that I had slept way past what I should have. Admittedly, I developed some bad habits where I had to scramble to get myself into shower and […]
