Cultivating a Beginner’s Mind

I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘practice’ these past few months. Perhaps the new year period put me in a reflective mood as I looked ahead to what I want to practise in 2022. There is comfort in practice. Whether your practice is yoga, finding stillness, writing, sketching or something else. When I was in my 4-year travelling period, my daily practices…

From doing to undoing: three ways to free up time and headspace

Originally published on Maddyness UK   Do! Do! Do! What have you been doing? In our business culture, we are feted for our doings.

The Art of Contemplation

Do you have a place of contemplation you visit regularly? Unlike brainstorming which is an active practice, with a specific goal and often the sharing of brains, contemplation is a solitary practice and is “the act of looking attentively at anything.” My place of contemplation is a section of sea wall on South Beach, Heacham. As I walk along the dunes to it,…

So, tell me, do you sometimes wish you could step off the treadmill of your thinking mind? Do you ever wish you could switch off the inner chatter? I do. Often!

Unsetting My Mind

This is a story about stones. One gratitude stone starts the tale. I gathered it from a Norfolk beach the day I ran away from London in March 2020. London locked down and I fled in a van. Although I drove the van forwards, I could see no way of moving forward in my life. I was driving away from…

Oxygenating Your Business Brain

"Focussed, sharp, clear thinking, creative." What am I describing? A successful entrepreneur? Correct - also the benefits of a well oxygenated brain. Your most complex organ, the powerhouse of your nervous system, the brain consumes 20% of the body’s oxygen supply. Limit that supply and life quickly becomes unfocussed and foggy.

Or driven or cycled to the wrong destination and wondered what you’re doing there?

Why I Love Sceptics in my Breathing Workshop

“What do you do?” people ask. “Put simply, I teach people to breathe better and stress less,” comes my reply. “Oh!” go the sceptics confidently, “Surely we all know how to breathe!” My challenge when I deliver a breathing workshop is that the room is mostly full of sceptics. This is sometimes verbally shared with me as attendees enter the…
