As a female entrepreneur and a high performer, there's lots of evidence out there relating to burnout. Burnout is when you are exhausted on many levels and basically need to undergo some sort of rest and restoration. It's not easy as high performers, however, to sit still and give ourselves permission to take time out. It doesn't feel natural. Here are 5 signs that you may be approaching burnout and what to do about them: 1. You constantly feel tired and exhausted. This is a BIGGY! Sleep is essential, but when you have a busy body and a busy mind then it's quite often the thing that is com ..read more

 Self-belief is the confidence and trust that you have in your abilities, qualities and judgement.

What is the one thing you would like more of in your life? Clarity? Abundance? Ease? Empowerment? You are in control and you can make it happen! When we look at high performance, there's a huge balance between the mind and the body. They work in sync, they're yin and yang. So many high performers that I work with have very busy minds which race ahead in overthinking mode. They've got all these ideas and things that they would love to do. And if they're not connected to the feeling in their body of what these ideas coming to fruition would be like, they are really missing a trick! What sometime ..read more

Do you know about the 3 Ps that are super important when celebrating your brilliance?

A few questions for you: Do you truly accept yourself and your brilliance? Do you really accept who you are? The path that you are on? The struggles you have as well as the strengths? So much of the work I have been doing with my clients recently is around belonging and self acceptance. This is a key aspect of high performance and one I have been treading very carefully in my own path to ensure alignment and inner peace. In my opinion, self acceptance is all of these things:  - being kind to yourself  - practicing forgiveness  - confronting your fea ..read more

Happiness is a choice. Choose to make it your priority.   I believe happiness is so important as a measure of high performance. I have worked with many very wealthy people who are unsure whether they are truly happy and many of those who feel happy but know they have only just scratched the surface. It's subjective and builds momentum as you get more of it into your life. It changes with the seasons and the things that used to make you happy might not any more. It's never ever dependent on anyone else - it's a state of being. Martin Seligman, founder of Positive Psychology describes h ..read more

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.   A simple sentence to read. But many people find that actually putting it into practice - for example, starting a new task and seeing it through to completion - can be incredibly difficult.    There are lots of reasons why we procrastinate. It might be that we're deciding, whether consciously or subconsciously, to self-sabotage. To purposely get in our own way because it feels like an easier option than completing a task or starting something new.   It could be that we're afraid of failure, or frightened of not ..read more

If you can allocate time each morning to carry out your own daily personal practice, you will soon start to notice the difference it makes to your working day. My own 30-minute daily routine is: Drink a pint of water to hydrate yourself. Water wakes up the cells in your body and makes you feel more alert. MIND - 10 minutes stilling the mind, sitting in meditation and focusing on the present. BODY - 10 minutes stretching or dancing to lift energy. You can also do this to music if you find it helps you to increase your energy. SOUL - 10 minutes intentionally focusing on the ..read more
