Half-Ironman Done. Here’s What I Learned
I am writing to you this week from a cafe in Amsterdam, having just completed the Half-Ironman at the weekend. As I sit to reflect on the race, I wanted to share those reflections with you. Find out what I learned and how you can start applying those learnings in your life today, to start living not good but great days.
Are You Missing Out On Freedom?
What is truly wild is doing exactly what you want to do. Free of the baggage of judgement – positive and negative – from others. When we are 5, 10, 15 and 20, someone has always laid out the next steps for us. Then something happens when we move through our twenties. We let go of that belief that everything is decided for us. Instead, we realise that it’s always been our choice.
Want To Start Waking Up Earlier? Try This
I then went away and created this simple, five-step process for you. It’s science-backed, tried and tested and rooted in circadian biology. The goal: to enable you to wake up earlier consistently - not just for a week, but for good. No more snoozing the alarm, rushing through the morning and sprinting into the office. Instead, you could be arriving each day into the office well-rested, energised and with that deep sense of satisfaction having already won your morning.
We Aren’t A Sleep Business. We Are In The Business Of Dreaming
We can see that being a dreamer of the day is indeed a remarkably beneficial thing to do. So the question is, how do we encourage this dreamlike state, this cocktail of chemicals, even whilst we are awake? Use these three tips to reduce your noradrenaline, boost your dopamine and elevate your acetylcholine.
This is Why You Feel Fatigued
Brain fog, constant distraction, that heavy sense of mental fatigue - they’ve become all too common features of modern working life. But it doesn’t have to be this way. By understanding how attention works, and making small shifts in how we use it, we can dramatically improve our focus, to supercharge our productivity while increasing the quality of our output.
The Three Princes of Serendip
This desire for magic perfectly catches the point of the question, ‘what is your Wildest Dream?’ It is finding the harmony between planning and going with the flow, setting goals and creating space to explore, keeping habits and starting new ones. There comes a time when you just have to trust in the process, to let go, and to anticipate that magical moments will happen.
