Sometimes you need to just 'be'
Just be.
Just be in the moment.
Appreciate what’s around you
Step back from your worries, your fears, your troubles, your problems…
Don’t ignore them, just don’t let them consume you, sit back and breathe! ❤️
Close your eyes…Concentrate on your breath, feel your breath coming in and going out. Feel your chest rise, feel your chest fall, notice how it feels, how the breath feels going in through your nose, what you notice when you breathe out and release….really concentrate on what you feel…start small, do this for 3 minutes and increase as you see fit. YOU CANT DO THIS WRONG 👌
What can you smell, what can you hear?
I’ve been very overwhelmed in the last couple weeks, not gonna lie, things creep up on us when we least expect it, life happens, things trigger memories, feelings and emotions… this is always going to happen, no matter who you are, how happy you are, how at peace you are, how much money you make or how much you travel. But the important thing is, be aware that this is normal and it’s OK.
Try these steps above when this happens…see the difference in just 3-10 little minutes of your day!! I know I’ve noticed the benefit in the last couple weeks ❤️
Stay strong
Big love ❤️

Reach for the sky ❤️
Setting goals seems silly at first, because you’re setting goals for a life you haven’t experienced yet, so your brain thinks you’re being dreamy and silly!
But…..you’re brain can’t differentiate between what is real and what is not. So visualising your goals is a powerful thing to do!!
Set those goals, feel them, see them, smell them, touch them and believe them. Close your eyes and put yourself in the life and place that you desire!
Listen…don’t get me wrong, in the beginning I felt silly doing this, I felt like this was some sort of ‘hippy’ camp ritual 😂 but trust the process, what’s 10 minutes a day in the grand scheme of things? Put yourself in this position every day and live that life for 10 minutes…firstly you feel great when you are doing it and you think about for hours after, it keeps your goal fresh and to the front of your mind, it keeps it present…right there…it makes you want it more! The more you want it and feel it, the closer you are to achieving it!
Visualisation has become a strong part of my daily routine. You don’t have to know how it’s going to happen, what you need to do to get there, you don’t have to have to have a timeframe or plan? Things in my life have changed. I’ve made decisions I never thought I could, I’ve put things in place to build the foundations…this is all because, every single day I know what I want, the rest takes care of itself! I trust the process and I trust myself now.
Start small: Sit back, close your eyes, picture yourself waking up where you want to be, stick the kettle on, make it real, smell the coffee, touch the mug, take yourself (and your coffee) to a space where you are happy, sit down, look around, feel it, make it relatable! Open your phone, check your bank balance, see what you want to see, look at your diary, see the things you love to do scheduled in that you always tell yourself you don’t have time for..
I do this every day, I imagine my business taking me to places I love, allowing me to spend time with the people I love, growing my team and having the best connections with them….guess what….ITS NOW HAPPENING!!
Believe it
Big love ❤️

Just chillin’
Remember to take time out to be you!
Be you with yourself and be you with others.
Don’t be scared to be you.
Years, I mean years I made myself the person that best fitted the situation, the person that someone else wanted me to be, the person that would most likely be accepted and the person that wasn’t really me!!
Being this person…or ‘people’ wasn’t benefiting me in any way. I was lost, emotional, tired and constantly felt that I wasn’t good enough! Because I never let myself be my true self, I was basically without knowing it, telling myself that I, me, the real me wasn’t enough! Wasn’t worthy, wasn’t able to be loved as who I was.
I’ve been working on myself for a few years now, and even harder since starting my business, learning to show up as me, learning to love myself for who I am…and most surprisingly, realising that when I am my true self…I attract the most beautiful people into my life ❤️
How you treat yourself and others, is reflected in what and who you receive in your life! I’ve always had my gorgeous family there, but not to the full potential of the absolute love unit that it is and that I now experience with them all, my friends have changed, come and gone and some stayed for the journey and now they revel in the person I have now become….ME!
I’ve developed stronger relationships with people, with family, with friends, with colleagues, with strangers that have stayed in contact and most importantly with myself!
Remember to be you, the real you, the only you! It’s a long process but my god it pays off!!
Realising now that I have genuine love in my life, not only for others and myself…but I now happily receive that love, respect that love, trust it and believe it! It’s a feeling that really puts things in perspective for me!
Be you! Love you! Love others!
GROW!
Big Love ❤️

‘Dad, don’t you dare’
Big kisses and even bigger smiles😁
The look you get, that makes you realise you have officially become an embarrassing dad!!
I LOVE IT 💙
I’ve realised & seen clearly the fact that my little boy is not so little anymore!
I realised he has insecurities, doubts, nerves & fears. This happens to us all as we ‘grow up’ as a parent, this is something you would love your kids never to feel. At the same time, you want them to feel it as it’s what we learn and grow from.
The first thing was the insecurity of how he looked that day…the solution: Lead by example, not simply tell him I thought he looked gorgeous (which he did) but step up to the plate & compliment myself & others, seeing me compliment myself (which I don’t do often) showed him that it’s good to do this! Self love is important
LEAD BY EXAMPLE 💙
The next thing was the fear of what others would think of him if he went on the dance floor…the solution: Walk out on to the empty dance floor on my own & let loose with my best moves! Again this is something I would never have done before, but I want him to have this bravery and lack of care, so I have to lead by example!
The response from him, was the biggest smile, a look of pride & lots of laughter, most importantly…he joined me on that dance floor & let all that fear go & danced with me like an absolute numpty!
After that we couldn’t keep him off the dance floor, this is the same kid that said he absolutely wouldn’t dance!! He asked everyone to get up & dance with him, even the Scottish dances he didn’t know, he wanted to get up and learn!
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! 💙
Don’t just tell your kids how to be, not to be scared, not to judge themselves, not to have doubts…instead show them!! Start with yourself, treat yourself & act the way you would love your kids to act! It brushes off on them, I’ve never seen it more clearly than last weekend!
‘All you done was dance like an idiot Kyle’…but no! It was so much more than that! I showed another human being who I love more than anything, that being himself was ok, better than ok! I showed him to be his true self & have fun & smile regardless of who is watching…cont in comments

For me….family is everything
They really are! It’s not always easy is it? Let’s be honest, but I think that’s what makes it real. That’s what makes you fight for it, love it, care, feel it, appreciate it….and keep showing up for it.
My family is large, diverse, complicated, difficult at times….but it works, we all work together, we are all there for each other. No one ever feels alone!!
This is for me, what makes running my business and aiming for my goals, so enjoyable and at times easy! Because I’m striving for more quality time with these amazing people, experiences with them and the simple things like dinner and a chat.
My business will not only allow the freedom of time, finances and location……most importantly, it has allowed me to see the real me! To work on myself, to gain the skills to develop myself, see the greatness and ability in myself and to love myself for who I show up as every day! (Regardless of what version of me that is that day 😂) being able to be the real you allows your relationships to be open, to be honest and filled with love! Allowing people in, accepting others as they are….not only in my family life, but moving forward this will allow me to be a true honest version of me to the world.
I love my family! Every single one of them! I accept them for who they are, how they behave and what they do…..the reason I can do this with such ease now is because I started with myself!!
Don’t try fix other people, don’t try mould them into something they are not, don’t dislike someone’s behaviour because it doesn’t agree with you….just accept people the way they are and love them for being them! Fix yourself first, love yourself first, accept yourself first…..then you’ll see what I mean ❤️
Big love ❤️

Let’s talk about location freedom…
When I started my online business my main goal was time freedom, to have the ability to spend more time with my son, my family and my loved ones….don’t get me wrong it still is my main goal….
However….
Now that I’m running my business and I’ve had the opportunity to travel, I’ve realised that I hadn’t given that side of it too much thought!
That’s all to change, location freedom is so important to me, as much as I put my son and family first, I can still do this, but I can also make the decision to work from anywhere I like, I have the ability and the tools to work from anywhere.
This realisation when you are in employment, would be scary, because you would have had to pick either a financially secure well paid job, a job with the perfect location or a job that allowed time freedom and a good work/life balance!! That’s not easy to find when you want all 3!
So the solution for me, was to set up my own business on my own terms……and guess what, that realisation isn’t scary anymore! I just have to adapt my business to fit this and maintain it ❤️ I have the power to create it, I make the decisions to create it and I reap the benefits of it
It may sound to good to be true, but it’s really not! This is what my business allows and I’m really bloody excited to take it down this path! My business will run autonomously for me in the future and allow this lifestyle….in the meantime all I need to do is enjoy the process of setting this up…..and even that part can be done from wherever I choose whenever I choose ❤️
Send me a DM or comment with a ❤️ below and I’ll get in touch about how you can have this dream too!!
Big love ❤️

You have an opportunity….
The opportunity to be you, to grab the life you want, to do the things you want, to be in charge of your own life!!
Don’t f*ck that up!! You’re only here once! Do everything in your power to make the most of YOUR OPPORTUNITY!!
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS….
Don’t give up! The only person that can make these changes is you! No one is coming to save you, no one is coming to offer you the life you want. You have to create it ❤️
Create your own freedom, create your own time, create your own finances……sounds easy right!? Does it hell! But it can be a simple step by step programme to follow! I’ve found the programme I follow and I want to share it with as many people as I can! I want to help people make the changes needed to live their own life! On their terms!
I don’t want to be that guy that clocks in and clocks out everyday, in a job that is ‘well paid’ and a job that is ‘secure’ and ‘safe’ I want to create that myself! I’m on the way to complete freedom!
🤘I will spend more time with my son
🤘I will give my time to my family
🤘I will give my time to charity
🤘I will help others create a life to be proud of
🤘I will travel the world
🤘I will have unique experiences that will change my life
🤘I will do this on my terms & at my speed
You can do this too! Send my a message and let’s gets chatting, let’s communicate and change your life! It starts with a simple ‘Hello’
Big love ❤️

Wow!!
Day 74!!! I never thought this day would come!!
There’s a bit of me that’s sad about it all ending tbh, and I never thought I’d say that! EVER!
But the good thing is, what this challenge has taught me…..I’m unstoppable!
There’s been some really tough days, and then some days that it just happened 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve developed habits for sure! And good habits at that!
There’s been some physical changes, not groundbreaking but they are there! This isn’t the reason I done the challenge, I done the challenge to prove to myself that I could mentally focus and push myself. The hardest part for me……..it’s changed on a weekly basis tbh, there’s been times where I just cannot be arsed working out, times where I don’t want to do a journal for the day, days where I’ve forgotten my water during the morning and had to force it down in the afternoon! Days where I’ve thought ‘f*ck the healthy eating’…….but I haven’t given in to any of them! This is the part of the challenge that has made me so proud of myself!! This is what I’m most grateful for! The ability for me to see myself as someone who can do anything and can challenge myself, my thoughts and that angry little sugar craving monkey in my head!! 💪🏼💪🏼
It’s not been easy being type 1 diabetic either doing this! Blood sugar control has been difficult, insulin amounts have been all over the place and adjusting to that in itself has been a challenge! But again…..I’ve managed it, (sometimes to the detriment to my mood swings and people around me dealing with that, but none the less I’ve done it)
Push yourself, Challenge yourself, surprise yourself and then you will understand yourself, your boundaries, your abilities and your capabilities and strength ❤️
You’ve got this!!!
Big love ❤️

One piece of advice..
Think about your excuses before you use them..
I had every excuse under the sun as to why this wouldn’t work for me, guess what they were all sh*te! Here I am, doing the very thing I said ‘I don’t have time’ for, ‘I don’t have the skills’ for, etc etc…
I worried about having time to commit to building a business, due to working 48+ hours per week for the fire service, having my little boy, traveling across the country to pick him up & visit family
’I can’t manage that’…I can, I do! I’m doing it and loving every minute of it 💙
It’s all about prioritising! That’s my bit of advice.
I know life gets busy, I’ve been there, I’ve worked long, unpredictable, heartbreaking, draining shifts, then had to carry on with everything else in my life, sometimes with no sleep.
Once I looked at how I was spending my time, I shocked myself, I could scrape an hour here and there, give up that series on Netflix for a couple months…Prioritising mine, my family & my sons futures over these things.
I thought learning would feel like another job, but when it’s for you, your future, dreams, reasons and on your terms! It’s enjoyable, you can’t get enough of it! Take it at the speed that feels right for you, no rush, just get started & change your life!
The training platform is a simple step by step process, all I had to do was trust the process and follow the steps, no more no less. New skills started to grow and I was changing mentally! Big style. Adapting the abilities to be stronger, more confident, focussed, driven, excited, the ability to trust myself & love myself, It’s addictive!
I want to share this with as many people as I can, this is for anyone with passion and drive, motivation & the urge to want something better for their life! To want more than attending a job and spending the remaining time with the ones you love, when you’re tired, overwhelmed and exhausted…that’s no way to live!
I want my time to be on the people I love the most in the world! Not on a job, I want them to be the focus, my own mindset to be the focus! If you want that too! It’s here! Right here! On this social media platform, it’s ready to go…ARE YOU?
Big love ❤️
