BEING EXTRAORDINARY

Image
  WHY EXTRAORDINARY?   “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.”  Marianne Williamson  Read that again.  And again. We are meant to shine ❤️    Do you thrive on that feeling of success from getting a difficult job done, going above and beyond, and striving for those achievements that are out of the ordinary? Then hats off to you my friend! There is no shame wanting to over achieve, to be out of the norm and be extra ordinary. Why? Because playing small and playing it safe will not necessarily serve us to live our best lives.  We could play small so we don’t lose. But if you always play it safe, are you really living? Yes it is easier to just sit back and play small. But I am reminded of this pearl of wisdom: “We are all made to fly to realise our incredible potential as human beings. But at times, we sit on our branches, clinging t...

MANAGING SELF WORTH

  Hands up if you have ever felt like you are never good enough.. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I think all of us have felt like this some way or another. We wouldn’t be human otherwise. We live in a world where everyone has an opinion and not every opinion are the same, nice or positive.

And I can guarantee some would be totally against it and cry “Whyyyyyy.........” Or if someone told me to watch a particular movie because they really enjoyed it, I might not like the movie at all. This is what we call our  SUBJECTIVE  opinions. It is subjective because we are making decisions based on what we personally see and think. “Subjective has feelings. Anything subjective is subject to interpretation, influenced by emotions or opinions.”  To be  OBJECTIVE  on another hand, is to be unbiased. If you're objective about something, you have no pe...

RIDING THE LENGTH OF SOUTH ISLAND NZ IN 9 DAYS!

Image
When I came across an article a few months ago about this thing called EPIC camp, it caught my eye and sparked a big interest. It is a triathlon camp where we get to ride the whole length of the South Island from Nelson to Bluff in 9 days, as well as some running and swimming thrown in between. Wow. What an opportunity! It has always been in my bucket list to ride the length of New Zealand!! So here is the chance to ride from the top of South Island down to the bottom, exploring our country, and doing something that I love (swim, bike, run). Exciting! Since all of the overseas triathlon events had been cancelled for me this year, this seemed to be the perfect fit. The thought of doing this camp was pretty daunting. The requirement for this camp is pretty strict. We will need to be FIT for this camp. Not super fast, but we must be able to do an ironman ride (180km) in under 6.5hrs otherwise we will likely struggle to complete this camp. We are encouraged to go to our limits with points ...
