“I hate chin ups, but I want to do them.” she declared. “You’ve got to be super strong” I chirped in remembering the many times I tried. “That’s the added frustration,” she announced. “My trainer says I’ve got the strength now, and I know I’m strong.  What I don’t have is enough aggression.” Oh!

How to do more of what you love

Inspire

I live near the top of a mountain ridge, and the drive to my house is up a 3km long steep and windy road.  For the past year I’ve been wanting to walk down this road and then back up. Why? To challenge myself. To see how long it would take. Because I can. So […]

What to do when in transition

I’m in that awkward space. The in-between-time, when one chapter of life has ended and the next one hasn’t fully begun yet. I’ve left behind familiarity and entered into the unknown.

What is enough?  I began asking myself this question a few years back. It all began with a particularly wonky morning.

December 11, 2015 By Karen Main 1 Comment

In a recent workshop a participant described her life as a roller coaster that never stops.  I noticed many heads nodding around the room, a sign there were many rollercoaster lives being lived. I understand that rollercoaster feeling.  The dips and bends tossing you about, as the demands of life drag you along. At best you […]

Why you should get out of your own way and say NO already.

July 17, 2015 By Karen Main 1 Comment

You open the email, another request, another event. You aren’t interested and feel an instant dread about going. You check the calendar hoping for a ‘valid’ reason to say no. You’re available. You really don’t want to go. You hold back a reply, the request now hanging in your inbox and torturing your mind. How could you say no? What […]
