We are taught to put a bandage on a wound to stop infections and we are taught to brush our teeth daily to prevent tooth decay. Right from the very first day of our lives we are taught how to keep our bodies safe and healthy. But what are we taught to prevent our mental […]

My ‘Why’
Today somebody questioned why I do what I do – why I post pictures of myself on social media. A few hours later I was also asked to fill out a questionnaire, one of the questions was ‘Why did you decide to get into the fitness industry?’ The simple answer to both of those questions […]
Does Stress Equal Success?
We like to make life complicated. But why? Why is stress seen as success? Why is drama seen as excitement? Why is working long hours looked upon as being more productive? Why don’t we ever switch off? Exhaustion has become fashionable and being ‘busy’ is everybody’s default setting. The problem with sauntering through life like […]
A Little Update
Since the beginning of May I have been following a stricter diet and training plan. I wanted to see how hard I could push myself and what results I could get. This challenge is not just about what physical changes I can make, it is about pushing myself mentally too. Since travelling I felt like […]
