Reflections

Since returning from Europe, I’ve been looking at my to-do list differently. Instead of asking what I’d most enjoy doing today, I’ve started asking which choice will leave me feeling most satisfied by the end of it. It’s a small change in thinking, but it’s made a surprising difference.

We spend so much time thinking about what’s next that we can forget to notice what’s already here. Sometimes the richest moments are right in front of us.

I nearly didn’t press Publish on my first post. Eight months and more than a hundred posts later, I’ve learnt that courage doesn’t always mean making a huge life change. Sometimes it simply means starting before you feel ready.

Four weeks after coming home, life has found its rhythm again — in the garden, on the golf course, out on the bike, walking in the mountains, and enjoying the ordinary weeks that make up a good life.

We only get one body to carry us through life. This reflection is about the small daily choices that help us feel stronger, healthier and more able to enjoy the life we have.

Sometimes embracing a little discomfort starts at the table. This reflection explores real hunger, everyday habits and why listening to our bodies might be healthier than constantly reaching for the next snack.

Coming home after weeks away, facing the garden jobs, and trying to remember that not everything has to be done at once.

Before the news, messages and notifications, I roll out my yoga mat. A reflection on morning habits and the small things that help us begin the day well.
