Members Mindfulness
Highlights from my Academy Members Group Mindfulness on 10.4.20
The COVID-19 Lockdown has given a lot of us time to reflect and turn inward.
Which can be both exciting and overwhelming at the same time. As we slow down from the frantic frequency of normal modern life.
What to do with all this time?
And even when things go back to normal, what would you want to do with your time?
Knowing it is our most precious commodity.
Would you make any changes? Subtle or major?
It’s never too late to change.
Imposter syndrome – we are often conditioned to feel “not good enough” at certain things from a young age.
“I’ve never been Academic” one of my members shared.

Being open and brave enough to trying new things is the path to discovering what you’re passionate about and what makes you tick.
What makes your heart sing?
Another member, whilst wearing many different hats – mother, politician and financier – went to Uni later in life, to re-train.
Her study time became “my time” and that internal drive summoned the energy and capacity to study for 2 hours, late at night, each day for 4 years.
Discovering and following your passion is not always going to be practical – you can’t always monetise your passion.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t nurture it and dedicate time to do it alongside your job.
Combining the two is a privilege.
There are two currencies – financial wealth and the feeling you get back from being of service to others.
Meaningful work, meaningful relationships and having an impact on the World, however small.
Change takes time and the key is to try different things that may not be directly related to what you ultimately do.
But the build skills you build up are invaluable and the common themes that run through the different experiences you have become apparent as time goes on.
This helps you get to know yourself deeper.
