I’m always working to grow my newsletter, so if there’s someone you think might enjoy these, I’d love you to share this with them. They can sign up here >>

A quote I’m pondering
Beware of over-concern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.
Rudyard Kipling
An insight from conversation
My trip to the UK and US later this week has consumed a chunk of mind-space. Sleep has been disrupted for a while with checklists and logistics all running around my head. And in the darkness, when the time on the clock starts with a 1 or a 2, the two weeks away from the people I care about the most has felt costly too.
So the conversation with myself and others has been about keeping in mind my longer game. To reconnect with the trip as an opportunity to build my business as a vehicle to explore the world with my family in the future, catch up with great friends and clients, have an impact with the people I meet and expand and inspire my own perspective.
Ultimately I’m locked and loaded and looking forward to making the most of it all.
This too shall pass – sleep will come back in its own time. 🙂
An action I’m taking
Two things have been useful when I haven’t been able to get back to sleep:
- Stop fighting it, turn on the light and read a good book. (Ursula K Le Guin’s sci-fi/fantasy has been a joy. Extraordinary writing and great stories. Possibly even too good – I don’t want to put the books down even in the middle of the night.)
- Keeping my eyes closed and using the wake up as a mindfulness exercise by noticing the sensations and energy flows in my body as I lie in bed.

Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions too.
I hope you have a great week ahead.
With love,
