How To Prepare And Set Meaningful Goals For 2019

January 8, 2019 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Prepare

Last week I shared my simple Year In Review questions, that I use to harvest my learnings from the previous 12 months and kick off a celebration of my growth and achievements. Hopefully you carved out time to reflect on your year gone by too. Now its time to switch our focus forward, stirring up […]

How to ease up on your dreams to get more of what you want

Lifestyle

The alarm sounds, 4.40am!  My feet gingerly hit the floor and I quietly move through the darkness to the bathroom. I shower quickly, apply a full face of makeup, tie my hair in a neat ponytail and wiggle my way into a pair of stockings.  I take a moment to marvel at what’s now my […]

What’s wrong and how am I to blame

April 20, 2018 By Karen Main 1 Comment

All good

I watched him stumble up the street, scuffing his shoes as he walked, head down. “What’s wrong?” were the first words out of my mouth. “Nothing,” he muttered. I wasn’t convinced.  “You don’t look happy. What’s wrong?” (again) Then came the barrage of Mum questions about friendships, sport, teachers, lunch and even the weather, as […]

How A Theme Word Can Design Your Best Year Ever

January 12, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

January

Lately I’ve been experiencing sneaky moments of panic whenever I see a goal setting article. Panic that I’m not keeping up, that time is getting away and I’m missing the boat on setting my goals for the year. This unnecessary panic subsides, when I tune into my own personal process and declaration to sit with […]

How the first 30 minutes can transform your entire day

It’s no secret that I lean more toward being a night owl. In fact, I’ve spent years convinced that I should wait for my late night second wind to get my best work done.  Hence I’ve spent a few decades working and studying while the house sleeps, often awake into the wee hours of the […]

What do you need to do your best work and enjoy life

Productivity

Times are a changing for me. Finally, after months of see-sawing between self-doubt and self belief, my never-give-up-on-creating-your-dream-life attitude has paid off. I’m finally generating regular paid work, that’s also allowing me the lifestyle flexibility I want. You heard it, 10 months after our move, and with another regular consulting gig on my books, my […]

What I tell myself when I really don’t feel like planning my week

September 8, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Overwhelm

Ever feel like the ball bouncing around in a pin ball machine…  Getting flipped one way and then another, rolling back down to only get flipped about again. Exhausting Huh! That’s been me recently. I’ve drifted back into some well-worn habits.  Habits that don’t serve me well. Traps I fall into when life speeds up, I […]
