So 3 weeks in a leg brace ... If you know me you have probably heard me say, "you would have to strap me to a bed and sedate me in order to stop me walking and training every day." What has come up in the last few weeks is all the fear underneath the constant moving that I tend to do. Sure I meditate (at 4am before I get up and start moving), I contemplate (while I hike or swim), I sit down to eat (most of the time). But I have know for a very long time that I have a fear of sitting still. I had a workshop at SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute) for two days last week. I enrolled last year and every time I thought about it, or saw it in the diary, I felt that mix of fear and a desire to pull out that is all too familiar. Even after hurting my leg and being put in a leg brace, I didn't want to do it. If there is something that involves sitting down for hours on end ... I really do not want to do it. Long lunches. Full day workshops. Lectures. Long drives, long flights, basically anything that requires more than 30 minutes sitting down. If I have spare time I clean the windows, vacuum, go for a run, walk to the shops. take the kids and dog to the park, run around finding jobs to do ... anything to avoid sitting down. Why? What is with this fear? It is the same fear that you may feel about sitting still, or not watching TV every night, or not having your phone to check when you sit at the bar waiting to meet your friend. Or maybe it’s the fear that is underneath your snacking every time you have spare time, or calling your mum, or messaging friends, checking email, checking your apps, news feed ... What do you do to check out? To avoid being alone with yourself? What is beneath that fear? For me in the past I would eat or drink wine. That was my go to that caused the most damage in my life. But for my entire adult life movement has been the big one. The one I refuse to let go off. The one that is 'healthy' and 'good for you' and a 'good addiction to have'. It is also a great way to avoid being alone with yourself, with your true self, with all the stuff underneath. So ... that’s been my week. Being faced with all the stuff underneath. Learning to love that stuff, learning to question that stuff, to test if it is true, and to let it go if it isn't. This week’s podcast is about the stuff and about being honest with yourself - recorded with so much love for you all.

OK. I read a report that approximately 80% of women size each other up physically when meeting and if they feel challenged what follows is a negative comment either out loud or internally. And it got me thinking ... a lot. Do be warned this is a bit of a rant. I have a request of you my friend. Can we all please draw a line in the sand and today commit to no more judgement, comparison and gossip? This is such an energy waster. It is an assault on others and on ourselves. It is buying into the hamster wheel of never enough. We have all heard it, we have all said it and we all at times think it as we look at other peoples lives on social. It's not our fault. We have been taught that our success is dependant of their failure, that our win depends on their loss, that our beauty depends on being thinner than them or having a nicer wardrobe. We have been put on a hamster wheel and taught to play to the mould that ensures we stay small. That we need to compete for attention. That we need to be thinner, stronger, smarter, wealthier, younger than our sister sitting next to us. The problem is there is no end to this way of living. We can never be enough if we assess ourselves in comparison to others. Comparison, jealousy, thinking, it's a race to be the best at this thing we call life and is a never ending hamster wheel to nowhere. Can we stop it please? Commit to being intentional in how we receive, comment and engage with each other. Commit to calling each other out when we slip back to old habits of judgement and comparison and remind each other we don't do that shit anymore. Can we commit to push back when others expect us to dive down to this level. Can we commit to be strong. To support. To show up for and to celebrate each other. Even if we would choose not to dress, work, eat, parent, love or live like they do? To celebrate their freedom to do whatever the hell they want and to protect our ability to do the same. No more tearing each other's wings off and in doing so tearing off our own. Ok rant over. If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.
