Understanding myself better.
I’ve really tried to learn to know myself better – and I think that’s a work in progress for all of us. I know that if I get too much on my plate I’m not going to be a very nice person to deal with, so now I try to dial it back a bit.
Take myself out of unhealthy eating situations.
If I’m staying in a hotel and I go down to the breakfast buffet I will probably eat like Homer Simpson. I know that about myself, so instead when I check into my hotel room I order room service breakfast for the next morning. I order wilted spinach, poached egg and avocado, and then I’ll set my alarm at six and I’ll go for a run – or a walk if that’s all I’m up for - then come back and have a shower and then my breakfast arrives at 7 or 7.30 and I’m not Homer Simpson, my halo is shining.
Being more present.
Worklife balance is a complete myth, nobody has that. But I try being in the moment more.
Practising meditation.
I’ve got into meditation through Steve. I always thought I wouldn’t be good at it. But you don’t have to be. It’s not about expecting to ‘enlightened’ suddenly. I’m just feeling it out for myself with no expectations.
Being a mum to my son.
I never thought I was going to have a kid. So I’m just making sure that I soak it all up.
