Setting goals- over the last couple of nights I have been pin pointing and asking myself how do we set goals that are achievable?

Because of habit and staying in our comfort zone as well as beating ourselves up when we slip up ie enjoy a chocolate cake and then do no exercise to burn the calories; I have … Continue reading Setting achievable goals

First of all you have to want to change your mindset then if you do you then have to believe in changing it, once you have come to these two terms then I truly believe we can all change how we look at life in a more fulfilling way.

What we choose to watch, read, listen to, … Continue reading Changing your mind set

For a few nights now I and my wife have been getting disturbed by our dog, scratching at the door then pacing which inturn has left me feeling tired due to lack of good sleep. It’s amazing how we feel with lack of sleep and then after little sleep we are expected to carry on as normal throughout the day doing what we need to do. So for me lack of sleep means I can have a short fuse, get irritated with anything and feel fatigued which can lead to being unmotivated. So what I do now is first acknowledge … Continue reading Being aware of fatigue and tiredness

About a month ago I was watching a monk talk about awareness and how we are always being distracted or choosing to be and not spending time on us, alone time. He highlighted a scenario about a man taking a dog for a walk and the man classed this as alone time, but the monk said no this is a man distracting himself with the dog walking; another example is when someone takes themselves of running again a distraction of running. The monk asked, “When have you truly spent time on yourself? Being aware of your mind and body?” These … Continue reading Give time to yourself

So I have been doing a fair bit of research/ video watching about this incredible man, Wim Hof, known also as the, “Ice Man,” he has been pursuing this method that he discovered when he was 17 years old.

I highly recommend that you do your own research into this man and his method, it’s so fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about him and the method. What I have learnt so far; We have white and brown fat in our bodies, … Continue reading Wim Hof method
