"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

I read this quote the other day and it got me thinking about what is normal today for so many people.

Normal is ...

Lots of debt.

Working long hours.

Pretend friendships.

Fake insta feeds.

Hungover weekends.

Dread on Monday morning.

Wading through mud to get to the end of the working week.

Little sleep and feeling tired all the time.

Being overweight.

Disconnected relationships.

Mess, everywhere.

Crammed robes.

Being late to everything.

Feeling unorganised, overwhelmed and over it.

Gosh ... that is depressing.

Stuff normal!

Let's be organised.

Financially responsible.

Authentic.

Let’s invest in a few genuine friendships and quit the insta highlight real.

Let's be honest about how we feel in our relationships.

Let’s not do the hangovers any more (damn I cant even imagine one of them now!).

Let’s not boast about never sleeping and actually get some damn sleep!

Let’s stop trying to lose weight and just start nurturing and loving our bodies.

Let’s refuse overwhelm.

Clean up the house, car, schedule (cancel some stuff!) and tidy up our minds.

Let’s be on time.

Let's be present.

Let's be fully there with those we love.

Have a beautiful weekend my friends being anything but normal.

"Listening to a woman take herself down is like watching a phoenix rip of its wings" Elizabeth Gilbert

Criticising yourself much?

Responding to a complement by offering up a list of your flaws?

Telling yourself every morning you are not thin enough, pretty enough, smart enough?

Going to bed reminding yourself that you didn't do well enough today? Didn't get enough done?

It's time we stop this ladies.

Line in the sand.

No more.

Not inside your head.

Not coming out of your mouth.

You are doing the best you can with what you have.

Sure you might want to learn how to do better.

But you are enough my friend.

You are good, you are beautiful, you are complete, you are a fucking goddess.

You can not give love to others if you dont give it to yourself.

Please, if you do one thing today, remind yourself that you are loved, you are unbreakable and you are enough.

This week on the podcast I share with you the work of Elizabeth Gilbert. I see today that the work of Liz was the catalyst to so much growth in my life, she planted the seed that would one day make me a coach and for that I am forever grateful.

Ep 69 Deep Discipline

Do you consistently have the ability to show up and do what you said you were going to do?

Do you schedule your time and honour that plan?

Do you decide ahead of time when you will work, train, rest, play, learn and connect?

Do you show up for yourself or do you cancel all the time and decide to do something else?

Do you say you are going to eat well this week, get that project done, clean out that robe...then quit by Tuesday evening?

Do you quit on yourself often?

Deep discipline is not something we either have or don't have.

It is something you can cultivate.

Deep discipline is your ticket to freedom my friend.

It is how you feel confident, assure and calm.

Do you want to be able to have your own back?

This week on the podcast. I talk about how.

Who are you becoming?

What are you growing toward?

If I were to look at your schedule and bank statement to see how you spend your time, energy and money ... would I describe you as the person you want to be?

Someone who values their health, their relationships, their contribution to the world?

Someone who takes care of themselves, manages their sleep, nutrition and movement?

Someone who invests time in their own development intellectually, emotionally and physically?

Take a look at your schedule from this week and your spending in your bank app.

Pretend you are a stranger.

How would you describe yourself?

Do you like the answer?

This week on the podcast. Who are you becoming? How to get clear on what you are growing toward.

Before you steam roll into another year, pause.

Take stock.

Reflect on the year that has been.

Perhaps it was an amazing year, maybe it was one you would rather forget, more likely somewhere in between.

Either way, if we want to learn from our experiences we must reflect and actively take stock.

Take time to enjoy the scenery.

This week on the podcast. The gap, not between your thighs! The one between where you are now and where you want to be.

There is always a gap. Somewhere in our life.

Gaps are good.

They are what get us out of bed in the morning. They give us reason to be alive. What are your gaps right now?

This week I talk about how to identify your gaps and start to take action toward closing them.

This week on the podcast.

It takes courage to grow up.

To be who you really are.

To do the work of releasing old habits, false beliefs and pretend ideals.

It means we expose our hearts to the world.

It is scary.

What decision are you not making? That question you are too scared to ask yourself and demand an answer to?

Today is my birthday.

I am going to climb a tree and buy something sparkly.

This week on the podcast I share with you why somedays you need to burn the list and go do something for the pure joy and fun of it.

If you can’t find a tree today, do a cartwheel, go stand on the grass barefoot, dance in the kitchen ... anything that is just for the pure fun and joy of it.
