Can you recall the last thing you thought would be really super challenging? You stalled for days. Perhaps months. Maybe years! Possibly you expertly reasoned yourself out of the need to take that first step with any number of seemingly reasonable excuses. It’s not that important. It’s not the right time. It’s too much of a commitment. A sacrifice. And where to even start?? Of course the reverse ... READ MORE

Many years ago when I first moved to Sydney I missed many things. Certainly my Kiwi boyfriend and closest girlfriends were at the top of the list. Followed closely by mum and dad, my dear 20 year old cat Snuffles and also numerous, forms of baked deliciousness. From gigantic cheese scones. To glorious crispy yet moist blueberry muffins.

You know those people who set their mind to something and just seem to make it happen? Sure they put in the work. They may even encounter a hurdle or two to step smoothly over.

Last week I was chatting to a dear gym member who’s wife and daughters I train. He’s a charming old gentleman… generally, though he caught me somewhat by surprise when he exclaimed: “Dear girl, we’re all a bit worried about you!” “What do you mean I asked?” “Well, you’re getting too thin!” “I have changed my eating a fair bit recently – zero ...

Reflecting on todays encore episode has shown me just how much my eating has changed over the past couple of years. It’s a timely reminder of both the importance of doing what works for YOU at the time it works for you and also the value inconstant and never ending improvement.

Although todays encore episode primarily focuses on the strategies I use daily to escape procrastination. I’ve also got a slightly different angle to share before we get rolling.

So, as Rory puts it multiplying rather ... READ MORE
