Change is Coming
Here is the link to PART 1 (incase you missed it) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion The British Commonwealth… 56 countries. They are among the world’s biggest, smallest, richest and poorest countries and home to almost 1/3 of the world’s population. I am going to sidestep the wider issue of how the Commonwealth came into existence…… Continue reading Change is Coming
Born in The Dark
Performance Virtues in Action By Adrian Mclean When we look at sport and the athletes who participate, we naturally focus on their performance and the character traits that are aligned with this. When we talk about performance virtues we are usually highlighting the traits you ‘see’ such as determination to qualify for the next round…… Continue reading Born in The Dark
Go Slow
By Michelle Mclean Have you ever flipped ahead to the final chapter of the book you’re reading, to find out what happens? Have you ever googled the outcome of the TV series you’re binging on?

Root to Rise
Despite having a regular yoga practise, I had a frustrating half an hour on my yoga mat early this morning. I was unsteady and I wobbled the entire time. Even in Tadasana (mountain pose), which is standing still with both feet on the ground, I found it difficult to maintain good balance. There is a…… Continue reading Root to Rise
Getting Started With Affirmations
An affirmation is a positive statement in the present. It is to the point and immediate, bringing into focus the thoughts, actions or behaviours you wish to emulate.
