When you work from home, this is a silent killer for your morale, motivation and energy. Procrastination is a sign of anxiety. Most people don’t know this. I didn't. If you are worried about the implication of procrastination on your performance, this is what you can tactically do...
Last summer, I became a yoga teacher. Learning to access a state of calm is directly linked to the relationship we have with our body.
For example, I have been meditating regularly since Lockdown, and yet I still struggled to be comfortable in a seated position, despite practising yoga...

Step 4. The more you practice step 3, the more you will experience less resistance from your...
I used to think being a 8/10 stressed out was normal. That's what high performers do, right?!
I have changed my mind since I had a burn out. I had to take 4 weeks off in 2015 because my body collapsed one morning while getting ready to take a flight for a business trip.
I went to see an expert to...
Hear me out.
Rihanna was actually practicing yoga live on stage at the NFL Half Time Show. Hear me out.
If we can park opinions around the appropriateness of her sexy moves (at least she was fully covered), all that was for show, an act, show business.
Check out this post from a yoga teacher...

(1) If someone’s home environment is not consistently stable, supportive or safe, then it will impact work and they will not tell you that.
For some, going to the office is good for their mental health.
(2) Turning up to an empty office is pointless...
- We can't perform at our best if we don’t understand what energises us psychologically. Most believe mental-health comes down to exercising and eating well. Yes this is important. But it isn't enough.
Some of us will notice our energy levels go up when we are around certain people,...
The biggest concern I hear about Leaders wanting to promote well-being in their team, is that they don't feel they are a good enough example.

Team building days tend to involve fun activities to create a positive atmosphere for people to connect without needing to produce a work related outcome. The idea being to increase morale and motivation.
This is no longer enough. Low engagement is at an all time high. Silence is the...
Who is this for?
1. If you are curious and new to meditation
2. If you have tried on and off but don't have a daily practice
3. If you have a daily practice and you want too try something new
Meditation was very hard for me 5years ago, now that I have found a way to make it work, I'd like to share it...
