				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Would you like to love Mondays in 2017?</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Love-Mondays-Now-Career-Coach-Melbourne-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1910 alignleft" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Love-Mondays-Now-Career-Coach-Melbourne-2.jpg" alt="love-mondays-now-career-coach-melbourne-2" width="480" height="480"/></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<strong>I thought this picture was super cute</strong> because one,<em> yes I do LOVE cats</em>&nbsp;but two, I <em>love</em> helping people love their Monday mornings!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why?&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Because there was a time in my life</strong> where I dreaded going to work on a Monday morning, so much so, that it completely ruined my Sundays&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p>I believe we all have a purpose in life and when we love what we do, when we&#8217;re utilising our greatest strengths, talents and passions, not only does work not feel like work, it&#8217;s our greatest potential to deliver outstanding value in the world and therefore become highly successful doing it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So now that 2016 is coming to an end, it&#8217;s the perfect time to reflect back upon your year with your friends and family and/or coach.&nbsp;</p>
<p>An exercise I always take my clients through is to highlight 3 things that have happened in your life in 2016 that you are most happy about, proud of or thankful for.</p>
<h2>Reflect upon 2016</h2>
<p>For me one of the things I&#8217;m most grateful for is working with <a title="Back to Health Jo Formosa" href="http://www.back2health.net.au/project/jo-formosa/" target="_blank"><strong>Jo Formosa from Back to Health</strong></a> and the co-creator of Health Dynamics, who has helped me enormously in my life this year. She has been an amazing support and through her process I have learned even more about neuro strategies and breaking through limiting patterns from your past.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Secondly, I&#8217;m most grateful for the extensive travel I have been blessed to have experienced again this year, where I&#8217;m heading into my 7th summer in a row!</p>
<p>In 2016 I spent time visiting clients, friends and family in Australia, Switzerland, UK, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Serbia and Indonesia!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thirdly, I&#8217;m most thankful for each and everyone of, what I call my &#8216;kindred spirits&#8217; i.e. all the people whom I have spent time with and crossed paths with this year, where I&#8217;ve not only had a great time with but who have taught me many things along the way.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I would love to hear your greatest achievements and things you&#8217;re most thankful for in 2016 too!&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Once you&#8217;ve reflected on 2016 then it&#8217;s time to make a time to plan 2017.</em></p>
<h2>Plan for your goals and dreams to come true in 2017</h2>
<p>For me, I always start with buying an annual wall calendar and I populate it with all the most important things, people and events in my life and then schedule my work around that.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Make a time to plan out your goals and the positive changes you would like to make in your life in 2017.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Get the help and support you need to make sure 2017 is your best year yet!&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>And if you&#8217;re anything like this cute cute cat hiding from your Monday mornings&#8230;&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>Then get in touch with me, I&#8217;d love to help you get onto your amazing and ideal career path, that not only fulfills you in every way, but enables you to make your difference in the world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Remember there are other people missing out if we are not out there fulfilling our purpose in the world in the biggest way we can!&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>I have the capacity to take on just 7 new clients in January so please get in quick so you don&#8217;t miss out.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>I would like to wish you, your family and friends a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year for 2017 <img src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" />  &nbsp;</p>
<p>Until next year&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;Live Your Best Life&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>We can be creatures of habit, we can easily get set in our ways</strong> and I fully support setting yourself up with a recipe for success &nbsp;(routine or schedule) that works for you. &#8216;If it&#8217;s not broken then don&#8217;t fix it!&#8217;&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Life-Coach-Melbourne-Corfu-Greece.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1489" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Life-Coach-Melbourne-Corfu-Greece-300x300.jpg" alt="Life Coach Melbourne - Corfu Greece" width="300" height="300"/></a><strong>However sometimes this can hold us back</strong> and we can fall victim to creating the same day as yesterday&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>When is this a problem?</strong> When we&#8217;re looking or waiting for something to change.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Now if you&#8217;ve been trying to reach a goal</strong> or attract something significant into your life for a long time, you may well be thinking that something &#8216;big&#8217; has to change.</p>
<p><strong>But it doesn&#8217;t always have to be this way,</strong> sometimes the smallest of things can dramatically shift your situation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>~ YOUR SPECIAL INVITATION ~</strong></p>
<p><strong>New Path Exercise</strong> &#8211; I invite you to join me for a fun experiment (<em>I love experiments that show us just how powerful our own thoughts, decisions and intentions are &#8211; more of these to come in my future videos</em>). This excises consists of making simple changes in your routine to shake things up that create instant change.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>CAN YOU RELATE TO THIS COMMON SCENARIO&#8230;<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>You get up at approximately the same time each day.</strong> you eat the same breakfast, you order the exact same coffee or morning drink at the same coffee shop, you drive along the same route to work, you have the same kind of day at work, you leave work at roughly the same time every day, you travel home on the exact same route, have the same types of conversations at home, watch the same TV shows or spend hours on social media before you go to bed at about the same time each night.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/1-Day-Experiment-change-your-path.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1509" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/1-Day-Experiment-change-your-path-300x300.jpg" alt="1 Day Experiment - change your path" width="300" height="300"/></a><strong>This can cause you to create the same day as yesterday&#8230;</strong> So if you&#8217;re not 100% happy with the days you are creating, or you&#8217;re looking for change, try this fun and easy exercise for 1 day to spice things up and take yourself on a new and different path.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Get up at a different time, eat a different breakfast, order a different morning drink,</strong> travel on a new or different path to work, engage in conversations with new people and/or on different topics and travel on another route on your way home. Keep your eyes out for new and different things that surface on this new day path and share with me what showed up! You just might be surprised!</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed my video I filmed on the beautiful Greek Island of Corfu and I look forward to bringing new videos your way soon!</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Developing your ability to have laser focus in the workplace is an essential ingredient for a successful career.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The good news is</strong> that it’s a skill you can learn and develop.</p>
<p><strong>Laser focus takes practice</strong> and the more you do it the stronger it will become.</p>
<p><em>“What fires together wires together.” Donald Hebb, Canadian Neuropsychologist</em></p>
<p><strong>I recommend that you utilise every chance</strong> you have to develop your focusing skills.</p>
<p><strong>You can do this both at work and at home.</strong> Try being laser focused on your spouse or partner when they are talking to you, instead of thinking about other things or being distracted.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Here are my top 10 tips on how you can practice, develop and strengthen your ability to focus at work.</strong></p>
<p><strong>#1 STOP MULTI-TASKING</strong></p>
<p><strong>Trying to do two things at once</strong> means you’re dividing your attention and energy which eliminates your chance of achieving 100% of your potential result on any one thing you do is wiped out.</p>
<p><strong>What kind of results do you want to achieve?</strong> Average, mediocre or outstanding?</p>
<p><strong>If you’re struggling to focus</strong> stop multi-tasking immediately and watch your results and achievement soar!</p>
<p><strong>For example:</strong> If you’re ‘sort of’ listening to someone while really reading an email on your screen you run the risk of agreeing to something you don’t even know you’re agreeing to! This can cause major issues in your workplace. Plus it immediately shows disrespect to the person, that you don’t have time or the care to stop what you’re doing and listen to them. You will have poor working relationship if you multi-task on this one…</p>
<p><strong>Now I’m all for multi-tasking <em>sometimes</em></strong>&nbsp;(and I stress ONLY SOMETIMES) for example:</p>
<p>1. Catching up with friends while walking to socialize and exercise at the same time or,<br />
2. Turning your travel time into a learning environment, by listening to audio books while on the train or driving.<br />
3. Listening and dancing to music while cleaning your house!</p>
<p><strong>BUT still if I really want to do something outstandingly well,</strong> I will turn on my laser focus skills and apply 100% of my attention and energy to get my best results. I recommend that you do too.</p>
<p><strong>#2 OBSERVE WHAT DISTRACTS YOU&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Reduce-Distractions-at-work.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1422" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Reduce-Distractions-at-work.jpg" alt="Reduce Distractions at work" width="299" height="299"/></a>Different things distract different people</strong> e.g. mobile phones, pop-up messages, chatter in the office, loud music, email messages, too many applications open, a messy desk the list goes on.</p>
<p><strong>If you develop a laser focus you can block all of these things out.</strong> Trust me, once I sat at a desk which was located right at the main door. I decided to switch on, my all time best laser focusing skills because I knew my boss wasn’t paying me to sit there and say hello to everyone who walked past all day long.</p>
<p><strong>Usually the majority of your distractions are in your mind</strong> i.e. your thoughts which are not on the present moment or on the current task at hand.<br />
Your mind may wonder, thinking about all the other tasks you need to do next, worse you’re too busy judging what others around you are doing or not doing and this only clogs up your brain space. Either deal with it, i.e. any issues that are on your mind by effective communication with that person, or let it go and focus on YOUR work.</p>
<p><strong>#3 SET UP YOUR ENVIRONMENT SO IT SUPPORTS YOU</strong></p>
<p><strong>Turn your phone on silent</strong> and put it in the bottom drawer, close down applications you don’t need right now and tidy up your workplace for if you work in a chaotic environment chances are your mind is chaotic as well.</p>
<p><strong>#4 COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS IN YOUR TEAM</strong></p>
<p><strong>Communicate with your team members</strong> and others in the office to find out what you might be doing that distracts them, and share ideas to help everyone in your office develop excellent focusing skills.</p>
<p><strong>Having laser focus in the workplace</strong> doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t stop to help others or enjoy a little bit of social time too. It’s all about balance.</p>
<p><strong>You can educate your fellow office workers</strong> when you are about to go into your laser focus zone. I love using this approach which teaches others when is a good time to ask for your help and when to avoid interrupting you. You can use this example:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“Hey everyone I just want to check in to see if any of anyone will need me in the next 2 hours. I’m about to concentrate on a detailed piece of work in this time, so if you have any questions for me, I can either help you now before I start or afterwards, which will be at 3pm.”</em></p>
<p><strong>People will either catch you now</strong> or say 3pm is great for me I have a few questions for you then.</p>
<p><strong>Agree to that time</strong> and then get into your focus zone. If that person attempts to interrupt you after 10mins, do not get frustrated! Simply answer with something like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“I’d love to help you out with that, however as discussed, I’m currently focused on X task right now up until 3pm. Is it ok if I help you at 3pm or has something come up that is urgent and I need to help you with right now?”</em></p>
<p><strong>If it’s urgent, good you want to know and help out,</strong> if not, you’re just letting the person know that you take your focus time seriously. It’s not that you won’t help them, but there are times set for when it’s best for you, to both help them and get your work done each day as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong> TIP:</strong> At 3pm stop what you’re doing, even if you haven’t finished because you want to be true to your word. Go over to the person and let them know that as agreed, you’re ready to help them now.</em></p>
<p><strong>Chances are they are not ready!</strong> If so, just smile and remind them 3pm was agreed, they will hurry up and not fail to be ready for you next time.</p>
<p><strong>The last thing you want to do is</strong> not follow up on your promise, because then others will not trust you that you will help them, when you put them off to another time.</p>
<p><strong>#5 LISTEN TO MUSIC WITHOUT LYRICS</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is a common way</strong> for open plan office workers to block out distractions from others.</p>
<p><strong>#6 WEAR SOUND PROOFING EAR MUFFS</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/focus-3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1400" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/focus-3-300x300.jpg" alt="focus 3" width="300" height="300"/></a></p>
<p><strong>These are all the rage now, with people wanting more peace, quiet and tranquility in the world.</strong> You may see people walking around in airports, busy train stations and even open plan workplaces to block out noise and distractions for peace and quiet.</p>
<p><strong>This can be a good alternative</strong> to asking others around you to be quiet, or listening to music when you just want peace.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>#7 GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP, EAT WELL &amp; EXERCISE DAILY&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>It’s difficult to focus when you’re tired,</strong> dehydrated, hungry or feeling lethargic. Get out for a quick brisk walk to get your energy flowing before sitting down to focus on your work.</p>
<p><strong>Taking regular breaks</strong> between focus times helps too.</p>
<p><strong>#8 DON&#8217;T ALLOW YOUR STRENGTHS TO BECOME WEAKNESSES&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>If one of your strengths is attention to detail</strong> or making things perfect, sometimes these strengths can get in the way of delivering your work in a timely manner.</p>
<p><strong>Be careful that you’re not letting your work performance down</strong> by spending too much time trying to make something perfect or getting off track zoning in on minor, sometimes unnecessary details that take you away from seeing the bigger picture and ultimate goal you’re trying to achieve.</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps you love helping others,</strong> be careful that you’re not too busy stopping to help others all day long that your own work is at risk of being done.</p>
<p><strong>#9 TRAIN YOUR BRAIN&nbsp;</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Brain-Neural-Pathways.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1416" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Brain-Neural-Pathways-300x300.jpg" alt="Brain Neural Pathways" width="300" height="300"/></a><br />
<strong>First, get crystal clear on EXACTLY what you want to focus on</strong> and do in this moment and for the next e.g. 90 minutes. Then every time your mind wonders off… thinking about another task, bring your focus back to the task at hand.</p>
<p><strong>As you commit to doing this,</strong> you will build the strength of your focusing powers until they become a natural and easy way in which you work.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>#10 SET TIMERS &amp; YOUR OWN STEEP DEADLINES&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Establish how long you think a task</strong> should take you, or set yourself a new target to complete it in, check the clock and stay committed to completing the task in that time.</p>
<p><strong>You will be surprised that for every 5 minute interruption</strong> or distraction, it can completely wipe out that latest hour in your day of doing real focused work.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>It’s up to you how you spend your time!</em></p>
<p><strong>Studies show that when a person is distracted,</strong> even if for only 5 minutes it takes them 25 minutes to get back into flow. Only to be interrupted again within the next half an hour, people in the workplace often can expect to have only 2 hours of real work time!</p>
<p><strong>Research also shows that people will take</strong> as long a time as they have, to get the job done. That’s why when we have big looming deadlines we can work fast with focus and literally move mountains! This is because we know we do not have time to think about or be distracted by anything. When workflow is slow, we slow down right along with it.</p>
<p><strong>What I do here is set myself my own tight deadline</strong>&nbsp;with a reward once achieved, so I’m not left wondering where on earth the week went and feelings as though I barely got anything done.</p>
<p><strong>No wonder so many people leave work feeling as though</strong> they didn’t really get anything or enough done. Let’s change that, with encouraging and developing laser focus, high productivity and efficient brains in your team!</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Happy New Year for 2015!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Here is my new January video tip to help you plan for 2015!</strong></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/aU_x7MsviDg?feature=player_detailpage" width="530" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Now that January is here it&#8217;s a fun and exciting time to</strong> make plans for the year ahead. If you&#8217;re anything like me, I like to set an annual mission, one BIG thing that I&#8217;m going to achieve and when I achieve that I will have had an incredible year.</p>
<p><strong>Then I set 2 or 3 specific goals</strong> and the rest goes to being flow!</p>
<p><strong>To me this means having fun and navigating myself</strong> throughout the year learning, adjusting as I go and making the most of all the opportunities that surface that I don&#8217;t yet know about.</p>
<p><strong>To do this successfully you need</strong> space and some flexibility. I know that even by the time February and March rolls around I will have learnt and grown and perhaps even see things very differently than I do right now.</p>
<p><strong>Situations change&#8230; they can change at any moment good or bad</strong> <em>(and of course bad is only the way you see things. If they do feel bad don&#8217;t forget to look for the lesson and seed of opportunity in the challenging period or situation you find yourself in</em>).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/your-personal-horoscope-2015.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1305 size-medium" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/your-personal-horoscope-2015-197x300.jpg" alt="your-personal-horoscope-2015" width="197" height="300"/></a><strong>What I&#8217;m doing this January that&#8217;s new</strong> and fun in regards to planning out my year ahead is studying up on the book &#8216;Your Personal Horoscope 2015&#8242; by Joseph Polansky. Now I&#8217;ve never done this before because here in our coaching programs we delve much deeper into astrology and spirituality that I haven&#8217;t bothered with generic astrology.</p>
<p><strong>Until now&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In 2014 I just happened to link</strong> way too many situations that perfectly collided with what the planets were doing and what was happening both in my life and the lives of others around me.</p>
<p><strong>In particular the lunar and solar eclipses were so profound</strong> in initiating change they literally blew me away as to what happened at those times.</p>
<p><strong>So this year, I&#8217;m looking ahead</strong> and I&#8217;m being super proactive in terms of what&#8217;s coming up and happening in the solar system.</p>
<p><strong>I recommend grabbing yourself a copy of this book</strong> too (or one similar), checking your sun sign reading and observe the uncanny coincidences that happen. Or like me, even plan in accordance to the best times of the year to do certain things and see how things turn out!</p>
<p><em>Here are a few dates to be aware of:</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Solar Eclipse &#8211; 20th March 2015</li>
<li>Lunar Eclipse &#8211; 4th April 2015</li>
<li>Solar Eclipse &#8211; 13th September 2015</li>
<li>Lunar Eclipse &#8211; 28th September 2015</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Let me know in the comments</strong> below if you&#8217;ve experienced any interesting coincidences in regards to astrology, the moons or planets too!</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Bored-at-work-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1279" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Bored-at-work-2.jpg" alt="Bored at work 2" width="649" height="431"/></a></strong><strong>If you’re bored at work you’re in trouble!</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re bored and can’t be bothered at work then you need to get interested fast.</p>
<p><strong>You might be completely &#8216;over&#8217; what you’re doing</strong>&nbsp;(<em>or</em> <em>not doing)</em> and you&#8217;re waiting for your boss, colleagues, clients or the universe to give you something exciting to work on&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>But if you wait</strong> for that you could be waiting forever.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s up to you so here is what you can do:&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>1. Decide right now that you will no longer be bored at work.&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Open your eyes to something you can do that is fun and exciting.</p>
<p><strong>You might be thinking</strong>&nbsp;there is nothing fun or exciting where I work right now.</p>
<p><strong>But I challenge you </strong>to find ‘something’.</p>
<p><strong>First of all you need to know</strong> what excites you in the first place and this is the key.</p>
<p><strong>What do you like doing that</strong> eliminates all boredom? This is all about self awareness and an entire personal development topic you can find in my book <a title="Love Mondays Now Book" href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/shop/lets-get-reading" target="_blank">&#8216;Love Mondays Now&#8217;</a>.</p>
<p><strong>However in the meantime here is what I find helps people eliminate boredom:</strong></p>
<p>• <strong>Define</strong> the meaning around a work task or project<br />
• <strong>Connect</strong> to the purpose of the work task or project<br />
• <strong>See ahead</strong> the difference doing it will make in your life and those of others when you complete the tasks and projects you are responsible for.<br />
•<strong> Tackle</strong> your tasks and projects with the above in mind and find new ones that will excite you.</p>
<p>If you’re bored, life will get bored with you. So start getting excited, find purpose and link it to something greater than yourself, then move forth with action and enthusiasm.</p>
<p><strong>TIP: The No.1 activity</strong> to release boredom from your life and work – Do SOMETHING and do it NOW! Get moving! Momentum is a marvelous thing.</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>While on holiday in Hamilton Island, Victoria Australia,</strong>&nbsp;I not only had a fantastic time there but I also filmed a quick video for you, while I was hanging out on my friend&#8217;s yacht!</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re a teacher or team leader</strong> then you will want to watch today&#8217;s tip on how you can find your own teachers in life while you&#8217;re teaching or leading others.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9gR7g5_Qj1w?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Among the many activities that Hamilton Island offers,</strong> such as SUP, yachting, swimming, hiking, diving and golf &#8211; just to name a few &#8211; it also offers fantastic art classes.</p>
<p>It was here in an art class with a teacher named Trevor that I painted my first sea turtle!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-02-02-13.13.56.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1251" style="border: 3px solid black;" alt="2014-02-02 13.13.56" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-02-02-13.13.56.jpg" width="448" height="336"/></a></p>
<p><strong>Being an arty person it was one of the highlights of my trip</strong> but not just because I like to paint!</p>
<p>This teacher was exceptional because he had two outstanding qualities I think make a great teacher, trainer or leader.</p>
<p><strong>1. In just 3 hours he took us from a place</strong> we knew we were already at to a place we didn&#8217;t think possible!</p>
<p>And this had us jumping for joy!</p>
<p>I tell you, when he asked us to look around the room for inspiration and select what we wanted to paint&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>I chose an example from a professional artist, a sea turtle!</strong></em> Now I know I have a <em>few</em> skills in drawing and painting but it&#8217;s certainly not my number one thing.</p>
<p><strong>I had NO IDEA how</strong> I was going to get that lovely looking sea turtle onto my blank canvas&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>But with his help I did!</strong> And this didn&#8217;t only happen to me, my friends in the class also had the exact same experience.</p>
<p><strong>So when you&#8217;re teaching or leading others,</strong> strive to take your students or team members to a place they didn&#8217;t think possible. As this ignites a new found confidence, happiness and energy within them to believe that anything is possible!</p>
<p><strong>2. Trevor was also humble, in that he demonstrated</strong> that even though he is an extremely talented painter and an expert teacher all his life, he is always learning too.</p>
<p>In the class Trevor shared a story from just the day before, where a little 6 year old girl started painting in a way he had never seen before. Immediately he taught us that technique and thus expanded upon his own skills.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Our teachers can sometimes show up in the most unlikely places, however so often when its you who is teaching, its also you who can be the one who learns something very profound.</em></p>
<p><strong>Are you a teacher or team leader?</strong> What interesting lessons in life have you learnt while teaching or leading your team?</p>
<p>Please leave a comment I would love to hear from you!</p>
<p>Thanks for watching and stay tuned for my next video tip coming your way soon&#8230;</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Technology is evolving</strong> so quickly that we are used to, expect and like getting the things we want, in an instant!</p>
<p>Now this can be a great thing, but it can also cause some issues..</p>
<p><strong>Watch the video below</strong> where I outline the problem with instant gratification and how it is causing many people to feel unsatisfied&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BDviFBZwRvs?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Instant gratification doesn&#8217;t generally</strong> allow us to feel good about a really great job well done.</p>
<p>Can you think of something that has taken you a really long time to achieve?</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps you&#8217;ve put hours</strong> and hours into it, maybe months or even years.</p>
<p>And then you finally made it!</p>
<p><strong>How satisfied were you?</strong> How great did you feel, that you finally achieved your goal?</p>
<p>Even thinking about it now, how happy does it make you feel?</p>
<p><strong>Plus &#8211; how much do you value it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>If we&#8217;re always trying to have instant gratification,</strong> getting things so fast, if things come too easily, we miss out on that amazing feeling after we have worked really hard and feel very proud of ourselves.</p>
<p><strong>Today I want to encourage you,</strong> if you&#8217;re on a journey trying to achieve something, and it&#8217;s taking you a really long time, you know you&#8217;re on the right path, then stick at it. Keep going! You can do it!</p>
<p>When you do achieve it, you will feel that amazing feeling of completing a tough challenge in your life and complete satisfaction.</p>
<p><strong>I would love to hear of a goal</strong> you are trying to achieve right now, that perhaps you&#8217;ve been working on already for a long time. I would love to help you with it!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Today I challenge you</strong> to make a simple change in your perception about easy things to do in life that can very often seem not so easy&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Watch the video below</strong> <em>(where I have a special guest my beautiful Chinchilla cat Samuel Beau)</em> to find out how you can improve your life with this simple change to two things you do almost every day of your life!</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/UgtEkkhmqqI?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Some of the most simple things in life are easy to do but are also easy not to do&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>For example, getting out of bed.</strong> The physical action for most people is very easy and you do it every day. However it can also be not so easy if you have the habit of turning off your alarm, rolling over and sleeping in late.</p>
<p><strong>The problem with this is</strong> that you can start the day off behind and chase the eight ball all day long. But there is something even worse about this habit, when you have promisee yourself you WILL get up early tomorrow and don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s just another nail in the coffin as far as your trust in yourself to follow through on what you set out to do.</p>
<p><strong>Another easy life experience is</strong> eating fresh healthly food. Simple buy it, chop it up, prepare or cook it and eat it! However often is it easy not to do this and reach for unhealthy snacks instead.</p>
<p>It all comes down to your perception, which option do you choose? Which will take you towards your goals or away from them? It&#8217;s your choice and I challenge you to take on a new way of thinking towards what&#8217;s actually very easy.</p>
