Please take care of your mental health and be careful of the type of information you consume and from who it is coming from.

Because just like over consuming junk food, poor information like "job your love", will only make you sick!

Burnout isn't something that happens out of nowhere, it is an accumulation of stressful events without any intervention or conscious recovery.

Start prioritising your recovery each and every day so that you can get on top of your stress rather than your stress getting on top of you and leading you head on into burnout!

Your self-worth should not be tied to external things or the opinions of others.

Self-worth should come from internal validation, growth, your character and your core values.

We don't need elaborate ways to disconnect and relax, sometimes, all you need is half an hour to stop and give back to yourself in a small way.

I call these "bursts of prioritisation".
Because let's be honest, whether you're a parent, a leader or a university student....
We don't always have the time (or the finances) to give back to ourselves in the way of a holiday or a day at the spa.

But we can all afford half an hour a day to stop and exercise, meditate or read a few pages from our favourite book!

Today I got to work with the incredible students from St Monica's College that are part of their elite soccer program.

The students learnt about their character strengths and how they can use them to not only excel on the field, but off it as well.

Understanding your character strengths significantly boosts both performance and overall well-being.
By recognising and utilising your natural talents, you experience greater engagement and effectiveness in your every day life, leading to improved performance and overall wellbeing.

This strengths-based approach enhances your well-being by fostering positive emotions, self-confidence, and resilience, ultimately contributing to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

An impressive thing to understand, not only for secondary students to focus on, but all of us that are wanting to perform at our best day in and day out.

For the past year, I have been writing my own leadership book.
Yep, I joined the never ending list of "self improvement" and "leadership development" books.
Today I begin working on the final chapter before it goes off to editing and proof reading.

So, what's the point of my post?
Don't let imposter syndrome get in the way of doing some pretty cool things in life.

For 2 decades I've been a PT, a teacher, a lecturer and a mindset and performance coach.
I have met some of the most amazing humans and walked into incredible environments.
Through writing my book and researching for it, I have realised that I have a lot of stored knowledge that I played down for a ling time (imposter syndrome....again!).
What I've also learnt is that none of the amazing things I've done and seen would have happened if I had continued to:

1. Listened to the words and limitations placed on me by others.
And
2. Continued to listen to my own negative internal dialogue.

Sometimes, you just need to back yourself in and give things a crack!
You'll be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

After teaching over 300 masters students and education students in 2024, the one thing I am always proud of is that I continue te be true to myself.

It's always important to reflect on how you perform and how you can improve, and it's also very important to celebrate your own success and be proud of it!

If you want to improve your performance, if you want to be the best version of yourself, you must first be true to yourself and authentic in your approach.

Today I was fortunate enough to recieve a Commendation Award for Excellence in Teaching from ACU.
The award is based off of the student feedback results and teaching.

At first, I thought this was just an end of year award given to those that have taught, however, I was very quickly told how difficult these are to recieve!

In what is a rare award, to say I am honoured, excited and unbelievably happy, is an understatement!

I posted yesterday on the importance of feedback as a leader and how it is a key to improvement and growth.
So the timing of this could not be more perfect.

Although this award means the world to me, it does not mean I will become complacent.
Rather, it has motivated me even more to continue to operate at a high standard and to coach and teach with even more passion than I already do!

Thank you to those that have supported me and allowed me to be my authentic self.
