Would This Be Useful to You? 🤔

You know how January is the worst time of year to start a whole self-improvement thing, right? I remember walking into the gym last January and thinking, "oh ****" because it was full of people! But, guess what, by mid-January it was just the regulars again. And we all remember how we've failed at the diet, exercise plan or dry January. Be honest! There's loads of reasons for this. But I won't bore you with them. Because I don't know if you are interested! So, here's my question. If I ran a workshop around the start of January (not the 1st, that would be insane) all about how to set and actually achieve goals in 2026. Really big goals. If I did that, would you come? Hit reply an let me know. A simple 👍🏻 will do.

I've heard this word so a lot this week from clients. Seen it online countless times. Alarming, right? Except, only one of the people I spoke to meant it literally. And they were talking about how they felt a few weeks ago. Fortunately, they heeded my advice and now feel much better. What I think is happening more generally is that people are tired, running on fumes, at the end of a long year. Which is something to pay attention to (unchecked it could lead to burnout), but actually pretty...
I'm easing you into 2026 this week. On Monday I wrote about goal setting. Yesterday I encouraged you to relax into winter. And in the New Year I will share lots more ideas to help you. But before we get to that, I want you to think about visualising your accomplishments in a different way. Normally, when we use visualisation, we try to picture the moment when we accomplish our goal. For the athlete that might be their chest breaking the tape. In business it might be the moment you clinch a...
