Another fantastic weekend with Pegasus Ultra Running Rhys Jenkins Cerys Jones Chris Hewett with a wonderful diverse group of runners in the Welsh mountains!
When you get to do all the things you love and are passionate about, to share and encourage people to make small changes in their daily lives which will help towards their self care, life management and finding joy, then I am all in!
Thanks again to Paul Richards and HealthScape CIC Torbay for the loan of the spas and dry robes, don’t they look picture perfect on the side of the mountain!
PS Hannah E Phillips - did your Ford make it back down the mountain? Sorry I couldn’t stay to hear your “interview” but I hear it went down a storm. W**** Wednesday? Need to catch up over a cuppa soon!

At the weekend I returned to my homeland of Wales, to the stunning mountains, to run meditation, breathwork and icebath sessions for 45 fabulous female runners from She Runs: Cardiff.

What an incredible weekend. The workshops were received brilliantly with enthusiasm, open minds and humour.

For those who thought they could never meditate, they learnt they really could.

For those who felt that breathing to calm down never worked for them, they learnt it really does.

And for those who thought they could never get into a cold ice bath, well guess what…they did!

As a runner myself, with a love of all things ultra, I was also able to enjoy the amazing talks by two fabulous women:
Allie Bailey - she really does know her stuff. And she really can run! She also has the sweetest dog called Pickle who loves to run with her! I’m currently reading her book ‘There Is No Wall’. Highly recommend, even if you are not interested in running. Just read it - you’ll see what I mean.
Nikki Love - she too really can run! The whole way across Australia!!! Seriously, she is an inspiration and the sweetest person.

Thanks also to Pegasus Ultra Running for inviting me to take part and to Paul Richards for the use of the ice baths and dry robes.

Burying your head in the sand? We all do it: health, finance, work, relationships. Whether it’s a task needs doing, an issue needs addressing, best thing is address it now, because the stress that sits in you subconsciously while your head is buried in the sand is still impacting on your every day self. So act now. A small step or a full blown rip off the plaster (I would go for the latter) and start releasing that stress. Reality is happening regardless, so do you want to be in control or at the mercy of it?!

I absolutely love what I do! ❤️

Even more so when I get to work alongside likeminded people and organisations, who are focused on providing and accessing resources that will ultimately help those who need them.

When you listen to Gary Martin and Georgie brown talk about the journey and growth of over the last year, it is absolutely inspiring to see what has been achieved with the resourcefulness and vision of a handful of people. 🌱

Last year I was privileged to be brought in to the network through the ever-connected Paul Richards , enabling me to run meditation, breathwork and icebath sessions and workshops for members of the public and health sector workers. 🧘 🧊

Yesterday, I got to run a private session for Olivia Crisp and Sophie Moore. They were visiting Shekinah to meet those who were going to be utilising the funding they were providing. Thanks to their generous donation of £2000, we can purchase whiskey barrel ice-baths and build a shelter for the ice-bath experience!

They bravely stepped into baths with temperatures at 6 C ❄️ and used the meditation and breathwork skills, taught to them in the lead-up session, to overcome the urge to jump straight back out again!

They were brilliant! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We are very excited to see what growth Shekinah Grow takes on this year, as we emerge from hibernation and step into the hopeful spring. ☀️ 🌺

If anyone else wishes to find out more about what we do, who we work with and who can access the wealth of resources Shekinah Grow has to offer, or indeed wishes to donate towards the growth, then please get in touch.

Another opportunity to demonstrate and share a little of what I do! This time for the Torbay Business Network event. A great group of people all sharing and making connections to support one another.

Great to see familiar faces and meet new contacts too. There was a real buzz about the room this morning.

Thanks James Twigger and Dean Kelly for inviting me along to speak today. As you can see from three of the professional photos on here by Poppy Jakes, I am very passionate about what I do - in one of them I even look like I’m growling, I promise I’m not - that is in my other role as a storyteller 😂!

A very warm reception at the Paignton & District Chamber of Commerce network event Palace Theatre Paignton yesterday evening.
Lots of familiar faces Amy Strickland Sally Cope Jamie Winter ACA Dean Kelly Chris Fleet Simon Steer Cert CII Timothy Burling - and many new too!

When I get to demonstrate and share what I am deeply passionate about, I am in my element. Those who attended experienced the following:
🌱 a short meditation,
💡 discovered benefits of meditation,
💭 completed a personal questionnaire to check in on their stress levels
🌱 learnt the right balance to keep ourselves living and working productively

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 And for fun I boosted their dopamine levels with some novelty by teaching a new skill - how to say

Thank you to the RNLI Torbay for my certificate and Silver Sponsorship. I am privileged to have had the chance to raise money for such an amazing cause.

The weather may have been grim, but we got to sit with coffee and biscuits, and chat about the amazing challenges everyone has completed to raise money for the Torbay RNLI.

Roll on the next ones for 2024 when they celebrate 200 years!! I reckon there’s going to be something quite big going on for that!

Thank you Debbie Phillips and David Phillips for your connections and support along the way!

I have experienced every one of these emotions so far this week! In fact, quite a few of them occurred in the space of a day!

Take a moment to reflect…
🤔 Which have you noticed so far?
🤔 What intensity were they experienced: fleeting? noticeable? intense?
🤔Did you consciously do anything to influence them or change them?

💡We are more capable of managing the emotions we experience than we are led to believe.
💡They may feel like they creep up on us ninja-style, and hijack our rational selves, but with training we can intercept and manage them far better.

⏰Pause for a moment and think about this…

How different would your day be, your LIFE be, if you could increase happiness, accept and manage challenging emotions, and be more responsive rather than reactive to everything that the world bombards you with??

Either you answered:
✅ Amazing, but seriously?? That’s impossible!
✅Amazing!! Tell me more now!!
✅Amazing!! But there’s no way I can do that, if I told you what my life was like you would see that achieving that would just not work for me blah blah blah!

Well, whichever one you are, I can tell you that if you genuinely give it a chance, you will genuinely start to notice the change.
For some it is a lightbulb moment.
For some it is a subtle change they become aware of.
But for all, it is a positive change that they are relieved to have discovered!

Powerful Pit Stops

“Wellbeing? Mindfulness? It’s just another plate to spin. I haven’t got time to fit it in!” ⏰

The racing driver aims to finish the race in their fastest time possible, ideally in first position. 🏁

Our lives can be a bit like this…

Sometimes our goals get in our way. We are so driven by the next thing on our to-do list that getting there is the ultimate focus. 🎯

This is why, when someone suggests taking a moment, we hear, “I haven’t got time! I’ll take my moment when I’m finished!” ✅

Racing drivers have to come in to the pit stops. No matter how much they would love to keep zooming around to the finish, they know that the quick checks and refuels will enable them to get there successfully and quicker! ⏱️

These stops have been practiced to perfection, so they are easy to implement.

With training and practice, the skills of checking in on yourself and doing what’s needed to refuel becomes second nature.

The aim is noticing physical sensations, emotions and thoughts, then deciding how to proceed with this awareness.

So, here are a few suggestions for pit stops:

✅ boil the kettle ⏱️focus on your breathing 🤔 short shallow breath? Why? What can you do to change it?
✅ waiting (standing or sitting)⏱️ quick body scan from feet to head 🤔 any discomfort? What can you do to shift this?
✅ cleaning your teeth ⏱️ focus on your thoughts 🤔 without getting sucked into them, just notice what thoughts are occurring. How are they making you feel? Any truth in them? Do you need to act on them or let them go?

Make it your intention to build in as many pit stops as possible today. What will your pitstops be? Let me know how you get on with them.

Want to know more? Want to know how to develop these skills for yourself or your team?

Get in touch - get booked on - a fabulous course to help you gain control of your happiness and find your calm in a world that is unpredictable, where people will behave like *****, but you will have the super skills to navigate all that brilliantly! “I just need to sort out x, y and z and I’ll be calmer and happier!” “I’ve got so much going on, is it any wonder I feel stressed!” “I just need life to give me a break right now!” “If others didn’t behave like ***** then my life would be easier - I wouldn’t feel so stressed!” “I admire those who look like they’ve got their sh*t together. Why can’t that be me?!” “I don’t know how I feel, or what’s going on, or even what to do about it, but I do know I want to feel different!” Any of those sound like you?

Super excited to be running this fabulous course. Why don’t you book on and see for yourself! It’s chilled, brilliantly informative and I promise you will go away with lots to support you on a daily basis to find your happiness and calm. No ‘woo woo’ crap - this is neuroscience at its best delivered in a fun, engaging way with someone who speaks from true experience, professional training and with a good sense of humour! https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/Launch-Into-Life
