How to get people to pay you attention.

 In this video we go through the details of why you must believe in yourself and have the details figured out, otherwise others are going to lose interest in what you are saying.

Imagine trying to cook something and say to someone; I've no idea what the ingredients are or how long this might take and I definitely can't fathom how it might turn out. They would lose interest in what you are saying wouldn't they. So, make it clear. Get to know yourself, your creed, your tribe. Then they will listen and the right people will show up.

Acceptance softens expectations - Couch to 5k FAIL

My knees began to get painful while running the couch to 5K which you can see in this video: https://youtu.be/UtT2wd1IzJ8

I decided I might have to start walking but still do the couch to 5k. Can you still do that? How will it work?

In this vlog

you will see we are at Center parcs for a family break away and yet still we did the couch to 5k all together. It's about taking in the beauty of the surroundings and making sure you are appreciating what you can do while embracing the negative emotions of not ending up where you thought you might. Acceptance softens expectations. Back in the summer, I decided to start the Couch to 5K challenge to get fitter and lower my blood glucose levels. Did I manage it? Did it work for me?

Doing the couch to 5k and I'm failing!

 Week three of the couch to 5k and am beginning to struggle with knee pain. Horrifically bad and I couldn't help but feel my body was letting me down during my efforts to get fitter.

Seeing to Mum as she was rushed into hospital, I tried to kneel beside her to take her blood pressure and I yelped so badly and lept across the room. What on earth was I going to do?
