Volcano number 26 – Helvellyn
Helvellyn – It’s a mountain (and a volcano) I’ve wanted to climb for years. One of those illusive ones that I could have done a number of times but just never got round to. That was, until earlier this month, when my fiancĂ© and I made our way up to England’s Lake District for a … Continue reading Volcano number 26 – Helvellyn
How to overcome obstacles – be the river
Sometimes things just don't go to plan. An obstacle or a setback is placed in your path. At the time it can feel like the end of the world. Fears and doubts rush in, those feelings of not meeting expectations or not feeling good enough. I remember when I injured my knee as I neared … Continue reading How to overcome obstacles – be the river
What to do on a bad day
Sometimes you wake up and it's just not your day. You want to throw the towel in. You think: what's the point. So what can you do? Firstly, remember it's ok to feel like that.

You are not broken
You are not broken. There is nothing to fix. You're just having a moment with a lot of thinking going on. That's all. You have everything you need inside you already - the strength, resilience, wisdom, guidance, courage. The answers are there. They are just clouded and overshadowed by your thinking. You'll hear them as … Continue reading You are not broken
Your dreams are waiting
The girl stood on tip toe on the narrow knobbly rock, one hand holding on for dear life, the other reaching for the ledge above. The ground plummeted some 5 metres below. Her friend holding the ropes sat not far above her, urging her on. She had about one metre left to climb. She just … Continue reading Your dreams are waiting
You’re stronger than you think you are
We’d been sailing all night and were coming up 17 hours on the water. It had been a night darker than coal; no moon, thick dense cloud. I couldn’t even make out the bow of the boat. The wind had been keen and the waves had whooshed. It was anyone’s guess what they looked like … Continue reading You’re stronger than you think you are
There is nothing wrong with you
One of the defining features of my previous relationship which was emotionally abusive was the sense that there was something wrong with me. There were a lot of things I never seemed to get right – the time in the morning I brought his cup of tea, how I peeled mushrooms, pureeing soup instead of … Continue reading There is nothing wrong with you
Why perfection is a self-limiting belief and counter-productive for goals
Twelve. I had twelve fricken blisters. Twelve annoying, excruciatingly painful blisters; twelve little swollen mounds of encapsulated liquid intent on ruining my life. I sighed, staring at them glumly. The fact none had popped was beside the point. They were there on my feet, in places I didn’t know you could even get a blister. … Continue reading Why perfection is a self-limiting belief and counter-productive for goals
Why comparing yourself to others stops you from being awesome
I was in Taumarunui, New Zealand – Day 68 and 1,032km into #WalkNZ. I was just sitting, eating breakfast, really just minding my own business when the Dutch Te Araroa trail walker sat down next to me and proceeded to interrogate me. “How many kilometres are you walking a day?” was his first question as … Continue reading Why comparing yourself to others stops you from being awesome
