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

September 7, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

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 are you willing to struggle for?

June 8, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

struggle

Often when people come to me it’s because they’re fed up, frustrated and exhausted from months, and even years of wanting to change something in their life and not succeeding. They may have goals neatly written down, a vision board hovering over their desk and a pile of affirmations on their bedside and yet change […]

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 […]

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 […]

How to rise up when life gets busy and messy

August 25, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Journal

“How are you?’  We ask and get asked this question countless times each day. And when we answer we tend to focus on the area of our life that’s concerning us most. I have so many reasons to be jumping for joy each and everyday, and I know it. Yet when I’m caught in a […]

Why comparison really is the thief of joy

October 28, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

comparison

I’ve recently had a big, messy, awakening. It came after days spent consumed by frustration, dissatisfaction and all the other yucky stuff that swirls around these heavy emotions. Let me tell you I had my whinge on big time…  complaining to anyone who would listen, out for revenge and seriously cranky. Looking back I can say it was ugly […]

How to love what you do

May 27, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Karen Main

How can I find what I love to do….  It’s a question I’m often asked. My answer…    How can you love what you’re already doing? I’m not just talking about your job here.  How can you love all the moments in your day, even the ‘not so great’ ones. For a while now I’ve had a […]
