Create the Choices that give you the best results

Its been an interesting few weeks since I have decided to do the 10K in March next year. Training is the key to achieve the best results possible.

I'm sure that I am fitter than I think but then to achieve the best out of my body I know the importance of putting time and effort to help me achieve that goal.

I often say I will be working for years as I really enjoy my work and love seeing people being inspired by themselves. Life is full of choices and this creates us more choices with different directions. It's with great thanks to my many friends who are helping me create this great achievement of giving back my fitness to myself.

Thank you Nicky Porter for my sessions at the Gym (& for taking all the silly photos!)

How wonderful life is...


Life is wonderful in many ways and shows us so much about the way we think, act, and be. I lost touch with a friend and we recently met up and years ago we ran in the Lincoln 10K together for charity.

Maddy Wilson is an amazing runner and when we ran all those years back she stayed with me all the time encouraging me all the way. Since being back in touch she has made a few jokes about me running in the coming 10K in Lincoln next March. I signed the entry form yesterday and Maddy has, once again, promised she will be by my side - OMG!

Life is wonderful and I feel truly blessed I have such great friends.. I'm not a runner, I'm not as fit as I could be.. Life and friendship has just given me a chance as all my friends are running around setting a fitness programme for me and Nicky Porter is going to see I follow it through as well as setting me a page up for my worthy charity.    

I feel that life has given me a chance to help me. By taking on this challenge I will be fitter, healthier, slimmer, and even more awesome! Life is truly wonderful.

Watch this space, I will be posting details of the fundraising page soon, so please follow my progress and support me in my challenge.

The Power of Self discussion group

I've often been asked to share my knowledge and understandings gained from years of experience working within this field. Helping others has given me a greater insight as to how we function within our daily lives - whether that's at work, home, school or with our family and friends. Changing perception of negative experiences has had a profound effect and I've often been asked "How did you do it?"

These groups are there so that I can share the gift of understanding that we all have and help people who choose to change their perception to see that life is indeed good.
Last nights meeting went really well, it's always good to have a Devil's Advocate in the room, everyone who attended took something positive away with them and we are already taking bookings for next years meetings.

The fact that people were asking questions and challenging the ideas put forward shows that they are already in the process of changing their perception and moving towards the understanding that will release them of any negative experiences that created this perception in the first place.

The meetings take place at Red Hall Lincoln, 26 West Parade, Lincoln. Places are limited so booking is recommended, you can download a booking form here.

If there are any particular questions you would like to bring to the meeting, or any topics you think would be interesting for the group to discuss please comment below.

Feel the fear, face it, be strong enough to look it in the eye and say "I choose not to be ruled by you!"

I remember a few times in my younger days at school learning how to swim, they were not my best times. Teachers may have had a lot to cope with in those days with regards to getting kids to swim. It's not something I did as a child, so my days in the pool were hard and fearful. In different schools I had a few teachers who lost patience in helping me and others to swim. Then one fatal day I had a teacher push me in a pool that was for diving, lucky for them that my parents never attended my school. I nearly drowned but I was saved by a student who could swim.
Looking back it was amazing that I decided to learn how to swim by paying for lessons at lunch time in high school.
I'd never been able to go under water until recently, with a help of a friend and another friend called fear... the only solution here was for me to bring fear to the swimming pool and really discover why I wanted to keep it! Can you imagine wanting to keep fear!! Well we do it without knowing.
I made a conscious choice to let it go, and that was a good solution. We struggle sometimes by unknowingly feeding the fear and repeating the patterns, never being able to move on from it.
Therefore, that would imply that the "bad" experience is still being played out in our sub-conscious, never allowing you to move forward creating limitations and perpetuating the fear.
Fear what is it? Do you suffer from it? Most of us do in various ways and at different times of our lives.. Fear is very real.
Anything can start it, it's not something many of us like to admit. It's OK to get help with it, you don't have to do this alone, enlisting the help of friends or professionals and bringing it out into the open often makes it more manageable, because it won't go away, it's always there.
Feel the fear, face it, be strong enough to look it in the eye and say "I choose not to be ruled by you!"
Take action, do it now - putting it off is a choice and will not solve it.
