Day 7, 2022. Did you set any resolutions at the start of the year? How are they going? Chances are, not very well. Rather than set resolutions each year, why not focus on getting your shit together in general? How long has it been now that you’ve been thinking of changing your career, healing your past, working on (or ending) your relationship, prioritising your health and fitness, {insert desired goal here}? If…
We all know people who have a sense of entitlement, thinking the world owes them something. Nothing worth having in life comes easily. There is no magic pill or silver bullet. It’s true that when you’re in a state of flow, things do seem to come easier; but that’s also about how you’ve been able to generate that flow state, which often means putting some effort into knowing what you want out of life, setting goals…
“Drifting is the decision you’re making when you don’t make a decision about where you’re heading” I heard this statement in a podcast the other day and it really hit as a truth.

Life is messy, humans are messy, nobody is perfect. We are all driven by our limiting beliefs such as “I’m not good enough” which kicks in hard when we feel like we are failing. Show up anyway. You can smash out the best week/month ever with…
It’s normal for us to want those we love the most to be supportive of our goals. But sometimes, this isn’t our reality.
