What’s News: Upcoming Author

Announcement: What's News

What’s News?

Today I’m excited to let you know about my latest exciting news … I’m now the upcoming author of a new book.

Upcoming Author

You may recall that earlier this year I was doing some research on women in their 30s and 40s who have unresolved pains around the whole baby thing.  Well, the exciting news is that I’m now the upcoming author of a book on The Whole Baby Thing (TWBT).  It will be focused on helping women who are facing this modern dilemma of baby or no baby.

I’m passionate about this topic because I know what it’s like to struggle with the whole baby thing.  For those of you who don’t know, I became a mum at 47.  And it took a long time filled witUpcoming Bookh uncertainty and working through different options to get to that point.  I’ll be sharing more of my story in the book.

Not Alone

This issue affects loads of women.  I want them to know that they are not alone, that whatever they think and feel is valid and that all choices are equal (even if they decide not to have a baby or that motherhood is just not for them).  There are many ways to be happy and fulfilled, and it’s up to each woman to figure out what the right decision is for them.

Along with my upcoming book The Whole Baby Thing, I have also put together some other resources to support this particular group of women.

Read more about The Whole Baby Thing and the resources I’ve created by clicking here.

CALL OUT 
Do You, Or Someone You Know,
Have An Inspiring Story To Tell?

One of the things The Whole Baby Thing book will contain is a collection of stories of women who, in their 30s or 40s, successfully navigated the whole baby thing.

So … if you, or someone you know, has an inspiring story to tell, then I’d love to interview you/them.  For more information on my Call Out regarding sharing your inspiring story Click Here.

I look forward to sharing my progress on my upcoming book and podcast on The Whole Baby Thing.

With warm regards

Lisa

5 Simple Tips To Energise Your Day

5 Easy Ways To Energise Your Day

Hi and welcome to today’s post: “5 Simple Tips To Energise Your Day”.

The past week has been a busy one for me.  The main reason being that last week I spent three days at a business retreat (hosted by the lovely Janet Beckers) in gorgeous Terrigal on the Central Coast of NSW.  My beautiful family were there too, but they spent the time lapping up the beach and local area.

One of the things that the group talked about was how we maintain our energy levels.   Implementing routines to support your energy is really important for keeping yourself healthy, getting the most out of your day and making progress on your goals.

Here’s 5 great tips that were shared which you can easily apply:

  1. Health before wealth.  This tip is about having a routine which supports your health and wellbeing at the beginning of the day.   Then, after you’ve looked after yourself (remember when you fly they always say if to put your own face mask on first, before helping others), moving on to activities which focus on wealth building.
  2. Creative work before  busy work.   This tip is about doing your creative work when you’re at your freshest, and when you’re not bogged down with a lot of left brain/logical thinking.  For example doing creative work before 12 pm and busy work after 12 pm.
  3. Breathing to inflate the lungs fully.  This is about starting the day with your lungs fully expanded with oxygen.  Most people don’t fully inflate the lungs properly, and stress reduces proper breathing too.  Take a few minutes to breath –  first into the lower abdomen, then into the middle part of the abdomen and then into the upper abdomen.  Then, breath out releasing each part of the abdomen.
  4. Batching activities. This tip is about grouping the same activities together.  That way you can build up your focus, flow and productivity.  For example, making phone calls for an event or writing letters.
  5. Creating focus days.   This tip can also assist you in streamline your focus, energy, and actions.  Its about grouping together a variety of activities which are centred around a specific theme.  For example allocating clients sessions on Tuesdays and finance to Fridays

Any of these 5 tips could assist to energise your day.  Which one will you add to your routine?

Please share your favourite tip for energising your day by clicking below.

Warm regards

Is Pigeon Thinking Blocking Your Success?

Is Pigeon Thinking Blocking Your Success

I was sitting in a museum garden the other day and there were a few grey pigeons under foot.  My son pointed at it excitedly saying “bird … bird”!  In his eyes he saw this amazing living creature moving around and was excited to see it was up close.  I nodded eagerly in agreement with him, wanting to encourage his enthusiasm for life.  It got me thinking about how pigeon thinking creates success blocks, keeping us stuck and preventing progress towards our goals … [Read more…]
