Work / Life Balance

This year has been a journey of discovery as I've made improvements in my life to achieve balance. I started by making a DECISION to CHANGE and then took ACTION.

I contacted life coach, Nadine Honeybone, to clarify steps to achieving my goals. Style consultant, Suzanne Jaya came to overhaul my wardrobe and to do a colour analysis. I consulted Nutritionist and Naturopath, Emma Jones, for advice on my diet, as I was fed up of feeling so tired all the time.

I started to include all the things that I love in my life, swimming, tennis, yoga, meditation, singing, as well as noticing birdsongs, clouds, the effects of sunlight and fragrances of flowers. The list is endless once you start to really engage with the world around you, instead of getting locked in to being too busy.

The result of all this is that I now feel FANTASTIC, ENERGIZED and HAPPY!

As a bonus, I've lost over a stone in weight. I've gone public about having alopecia (hair loss) which resulted in a double page spread article in the Western Mail in July, and a radio interview with Jamie and Louise on BBC Radio Wales in September and an invitation to speak at an inaugural meeting for anyone with hair loss, at Southmead Hospital in Bristol earlier this month.

Everything is flowing because I shifted my focus towards my own well being instead of my business. Now unexpected opportunities are appearing frequently to move my business forward which is very exciting. I've let go my fear of techno things and the embraced changes. I'm feeling GOOD!

This quote has been inspirational for me:

"Whatever you can do,
Or dream you can do
Begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it NOW. "
(Geothe)
