Enhancing Your Performance by Doing Less
Not being in a war zone: Jeez, can you imagine? We’ve had plenty of people come to the UK from Ukraine recently, but that looks like a walk in the park compared to the Middle East. If you are over the age of 78, you’ve never seen war on these shores (UK). How lucky are we? War. What is it good for?
Being in a free country that everyone wants to come to: See above.
Health: Not to be underestimated, especially as it looks like so many people have passed earlier than expected last year. Do you remember before you were alive? Nope, neither do I. Chances are, the same is going to happen after you’re dead, so one life. Gotta be conscious to live it. Just friggin’ go and do it…
Dancing: if you haven’t tried it. Try it. If you can find someone to dance with. Do it. It’s special. Just look at Strictly. They say the same thing every year. The best thing they have ever done. Yes, it’s beyond your comfort zone, but so was driving before you tried it.
My partner: Donna introduced me to dance. She’s got the biggest heart I know, and she makes me feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven every day. If you love someone, and they love you, that’s probably heaven (see also dogs). Enjoy.
Comedy: We’ve watched a lot this year. I won’t say who or what, but laughing really, really rocks. Find some comedy you love. Watch it. Laugh.
My team: Knowing that you can take a day off and be okay with your business is gold dust. I love entrepreneurs. I love working with them. But finding people who can take the reins and show up for you on the same team is a gift. If you find it, cherish the gift. Thank you, team. And thank you EC*.
Dance music: I listen to it every single day. No, not that ‘Singin' in the rain’ dance music - the other one. Love playing it and making it (watch this space for 2024!).
Learning: Audible, Google, Books, AI, OMG…. So many ways to learn. All available for a pittance. The written word has given us such a gift. Write it down. Share it. Pass it on.
Dogs: Cos they’re selfless and beautiful. And they smell nice when they’re not wet. 😂 I love cats too because they’re just cool and don’t give a sh*t - and you can’t take them for long walks in the Lake District.
My clients: I am lucky enough to run a business that helps other people. It’s a gift. Every day is different and every day I get to make an impact. But my clients deserve real praise, as without their implementation it would all mean nothing.
Thanks for believing in me, but thank YOU for sitting down and doing the work. That’s the real shortcut. Sit down and do the work. Respect.
Cast iron: Two years ago, I decided I didn’t want to be a fat 50-year-old. I hired a personal trainer. And then I realised that I could just go to the gym every day instead. Since May, I’ve done precisely this. It’s become part of my routine, like brushing my teeth. I love it beyond words. I’m not fat anymore either.
Sport: Love watching it. Love playing it. Racket sports, especially rock. Paddle is coming. Paddle in 2024, People. You heard it here first…
Knowing that my thinking keeps fooling me: And that I’m creating my experience of life from the inside out, and I’m OK. I even wrote a book about it this year. But that’s not what this post is about.
Water: It’s underrated. Don’t take it for granted: you need it (more of it). Not too much though. That’s called drowning.
Friends and family: We can’t choose our family, but we can choose our friends. I would choose all of you over again if I could. Thanks for being in my life.
And finally… YOU: Thank you. Thanks for opening my emails. Thanks for even reading them occasionally. Thanks for sticking with me. And thanks for just being you (everyone else is taken). Hey, why not stick with me in 2024, because there’s some really juicy stuff coming to keep you entertained.
In the meantime, learn heaps, love loads, and have a very Merry Christmas y’all!
