Isn’t it funny how we take life so seriously?
And isn’t it ironic how many comics and bubbly people are seriously depressed behind closed doors?
Yesterday I was working with a client and we were discussing the light side of her being. By us zooming in on how she is when she is at her best we realised how naturally the things that she’s keen to do in life can come about. In fact she is already moving in that direction.
When our energy becomes heavy then we get weighed down in thought, fear and issues. When we get back in touch with ourselves we begin to flow.
Funnily enough I’ve met a handful of commedians in my time. I’ve always been struck by how insightful they are about life. I’ve told one or two of them ‘if you only knew how much you knew and learned from your art life would be so much richer for you’. You see a comic sees through the seems of life. They see the humour in it all’s. They lay it bare for all to see.
Take a moment to step back from your life and your idea about yourself. As you see the lightheared side your heart will become lighter.
Have a wonderful day

This morning I had beans on toast for breakfast for the first time in ages. I’d forgotten just how good and nourishing it can be - especially when done on a really healthy bread.
So what?… and ’so what has that got to do with me?’ I can hear you begin to think. Well it’s amazing how wee often lose sight of the basic, simple things that will actually have most impact on ourselves and our lives. When I see clients, many of the challenges they face are due to some of the basics not being in place or being overlooked. When I’m working with entrepreneurs very often the breakthroughs emerge maximising they already have and giving customers what they want.
So are you taking care of the bread and butter things in your life? Are you getting enough sleep. Do you eat regularly and sensibly? Do you take time out when you need to rest? Do you care genuinely care about other - or just yourself? Do you care about yourself and your health? If the answers any to these questions are no then now is the time to gently look at them and put the simple things in place. It will provide you with food for thought and fuel for action.
Much like beans on toast, you know the recipe and you know how to make it.
