Food, it’s so easy to over eat or snack on things that don’t sustain your energy throughout the day. This year I am looking to eat like a high performing corporate athlete and treat my body like a high performance car. This year I am eating for fuel, fuel that will provide a constant energy source throughout the entire day so when it’s game on I feel great and it’s game on, when my phone rings I’m on it, when I am showing a home I am full of enthusiasm and engaged or whenever I am prospecting people can feel I am feeling good and full of energy. I believe a big part of this is the choices you make around what you eat and the way you treat your body, so I am committed to fueling my body with food that will make it hum right the way through the day. It feels so good when your body feels good!

It’s the first day of a brand New Year.
So, here we go… Work starts in a few days and it’s like standing on the starting blocks ready to run your best race ever.
The question is where is the finish line? In other words what are you shooting for?
For me, I have 2 goals and 2 goals only, they are both important bench marks for me.
I know that some people say you need to have lots more goals to focus on but after goal setting for so many years I have learnt that you can only focus on one or two effectively.
Sure, there are many more things I want to achieve but when I achieve these 2 many other things will run off them however these are what I am putting all my focus on this year.
I want these 2 goals to be my compelling reason to get up and run as fast as I can everyday and they will.
Why am I not telling you what they are? I feel it changes the energy around the process when you announce it to people but if you hold them close, you are doing it for you and no-one else and that feels different, sort of more powerful. When I achieve them this year I will certainly let you know however you will probably get a feel for what they are throughout the year in my journal entries but I will announce them loud and clear when they are done.
I hope you have outlined your own targets and are poised nicely on your starting blocks ready to run the best race of your life so far.

Just wanted to wish everyone an amazing New Year! Rather than the traditional New Year resolution I like to just think about all the great things in my Life and also think about how much I appreciate them. This helps me kick the New Year off with a warm feeling in my heart and a powerful feeling of energy that resonates so deep I feel like I could fly. Things are just so good and Life itself is such an amazing gift, we have the potential to do anything, it’s just a matter of believing!

Doing lots of reading and surfing at the moment. It’s amazing how energy is so important in feeling focused. It’s almost like your energy and your ability to focus are linked.
I am reading a book at the moment for the second time called; the power of full engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz. It is about helping people reach their highest potential through energy management and not time management.
The book focuses on The corporate world and how people who work day in day out at high levels are exposed to twice as much stress as some of the highest performing athletes in the world. It delves into how to manage this and also how to help people sustain these high performance levels while they’re at work, home or where ever else this level of performance is important in their lives.
It’s a great book, just google the power of full engagement and an amazon link will come up if you want to check it out.
