By this stage of my life I thought I'd have it all figured out...

The reality is very different.

Life has it's own way and it's own say.

The truth is I still have no idea which direction it is taking me in.

There is so much outside our control.

And It's always going to be like that.

When that really stuck for me it became liberating.

I released my grip a little.

I learned to be more present and appreciate moments more.

I became at peace with it.

I became more excited for it.

I became happy not to have all the answers.

One thing I've become certain on is that life's a gift.

A journey without a finish line.

And one I'm glad to still be figuring out.

I likely never will.

Excited to see where the journey goes.

That makes me feel alive.

Grateful for another year of life 🎈

What would you do if you couldn't fail?

Once you know that, ask yourself...

What's stopping me exactly?

The judgement of others?

The making mistakes?

The not being perfect?

Truth 💣

We will have to face these fears either way.

The answers you're looking for are in the actions you're avoiding.

I'll ask again,

What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?

Now, what's stopping you?

A fantastic morning with Running Minds 🏃🏼‍♀️🧠

On Saturday we had a small XMAS meet up.

Approaching the end of another year we reflected on our own journeys.

Sharing personal highs and challenges of life, work, mental health, fitness and well-being over the last 12 months.

Personally, almost a year on since creating Running Minds it has given me so much.

The laughs, the quality conversation, the moving with others has been an absolute joy and something I'm very grateful for.

Movement x Conversation.

For me being with people has never been more important than it is now.

Alongside putting our health and well-being first.

This will always be most important.

Moving & talking. Sharing & supporting.

Creating healthier minds and bodies, together.

This is the ❤️ of Running Minds.

See you next week and thanks all for being there 🙌🏼

A wonderful evening with the Club on Tuesday evening at the

This event was focused on public speaking using improvisation and humour.

It was a pleasure to be invited to speak with such a great group of young people all looking to enhance their confidence and ability when communicating.

To learn and develop the tools to present and converse with clarity and conviction.

I spoke on few topics:

> Building confidence and overcoming nerves when speaking in public.

> Changing our mindset around mistakes to view them as an opportunity to grow, relate and connect.

> Developing improvisation and how it helps build resilience, adaptability, sharp thinking + listening skills.

It was fantastic seeing so many get involved and take part in the activities that followed.

We learn and grow through taking action.

A huge thank you to Filip & Oleksandr for inviting me and for running a fantastic event and to Uma for managing the event and for her warm welcome.

And finally to everyone in the group who came to watch, learn and take part! 👏🏼

See you all again soon🎤😀

Action first.

Everything else will follow.

Including how we feel towards it.

Mood follows movement.

We need to act first to feel motivated.

We have to act first to build confidence.

Yet we often wait to feel motivated or confident to start.

We can't wait for them to arrive by themselves.

The growth occurs and the magic happens when we take action.

Despite not feeling ready.

Despite feeling some fear or anxiety.

Making mistakes is what teaches us the most.

We cannot lose. We can only learn.

You have everything to gain.

It wasn't always motivation and discipline.

(It certainly still isn't to be fair!)

But looking back it's a reminder we are capable of real change.

We often overestimate what we can do in a day but underestimate what we can do over a decade.

In my case the last decade and more have changed a lot.

It didn't happen overnight.

It took a ton of self reflection, self work and creating some clear values and goals.

I had a lot of fun back in the day (no regrets at all) but it was never going to be sustainable.

And I didn't always like who I was.

Knowing that 17-25 year old boy I love him but I'm glad I'm not still like him.

I'm now the person who sneaks off early but I was often the last one still out.

Sometimes walking home on the morning sunrise.

The first pic in those days I could see off a bottle of beer in 3 seconds.

The last pic I just got a PB in a marathon.

I'm prouder of the latter.

What therapy has taught me.

Since the start of this year I've had regular therapy sessions.

And they have been one of the best investments I've ever made.

But, wait, what's wrong Nick?

This is a common question.

You want the truth?

Absolutely nothing.

Quite the contrary actually.

I started out of pure curiosity to learn more about myself.

To explore.

I started it from a place of strength.

Not weakness.

Because it never is.

I think many people still may have it backwards.

I did once too.

I started from a want to learn more about myself.

I wanted to look at my mind and get a deeper understanding of who I was.

Then as the sessions went on I started digging into everything.

Things from my past.

Areas of my life that I'd actually been ignoring or refusing to knowledge.

Many that I had no idea 100% affect who I am, and how I am today.

The point of this post is this.

We know we should exercise so we won't have health problems in the future.

We know we should see a physio to prevent injuries down the line.

We know we should eat well so we are not forced to later.

Yet when it comes to having therapy to strengthen our mind we don't see it the same way.

Personally my only regret is that I didn't start therapy sooner.

It's another gym, but for my mind.

I've uncovered and discovered things would never have known.

And without the guidance of a therapist wouldn't have had the courage to admit and work on.

If you are struggling with something I would 100% recommend it.

However if things seem fine and well, I would also absolutely recommend it.

Like me if you don't think you need it, you might benefit from it far more than you thought.

And if it's not therapy then talk to someone.

A partner, friend, anyone you trust.

It can work just as effectively.

The best thing you can do everyday?

The one thing that will almost guarantee success in every part of our lives?

Exercise.

It's the biggest win of each day.

The focus, clarity, energy it gives us.

Second to none.

"But I don't have time".

The number one comment I hear.

"I'll start in January" (the number 2 comment right now)

This is a lie we tell ourselves.

The best time is now.

If it becomes a value and a priority,

we will make the time. 100%.

I know this is a lie because I told it to myself so many times.

Long hours in an office.

A full calendar (of mostly nothing important!)

Working in corporate jobs.

Starting a business.

Moving countries.

External factors of any kind.

There was always an excuse.

But that is exaxtly what it was.

An excuse.

It is easy?

No, it's not.

Should it be?

No.

If it was we would all be flying fit, energetic and thriving.

But it's the biggest difference maker to any form of success.

It's a has an unbelievable ROI.

I schedule movement and exercise daily.

Just like I do with client meetings, deadlines or anything else.

Is it the number one priority of each day.

So why wouldn't I block out and make time for it?

People, meetings & all that other stuff' can wait.

What could be more important than investing in ourselves?

Ben the Banker 😂

Going through some old memories of old Acting & TV days.

Whilst dreaming of being a professional actor.

Yet commuting daily to my office job.

This one was an interesting experience.

Being filmed as part of an ITV documentary "Britain's busiest motorway"

This being everyone's favourite - the M25.

I spent 2 hours or more everyday commuting on this road 🚗

ITV thought I would be TV gold...

I was made to commentate and talk about my inspiring daily commute 🤣

They even named me Ben.

And called me a banker...

Maybe they got a letter wrong!!

It's funny how looking back over old memories reminds us of what can feel like a totally different life.

Or of a totally different person.

Plenty of lessons since then.

This is a fond reflection of a part of my life I often look back on.

A reflection on how life can take us in any direction.

If we believe in ourselves, take action and allow our intuition to guide us through it.

Because it really does - if we pay attention.

I wish I hadn't have tried to control it so much.

Or put so much pressure on myself.

It's much more fun to enjoy the ride.

However that ride isn't made for the M25!

Anyway, back to the bank!

The purpose of life?

To give life purpose.

This was the biggest change for me.

Years searching for more meaning.

"My purpose"

And pretty much getting nowhere.

Then I realised it was the meaning I gave life that made it count.

Not the other way around.

Not trying to look for what was meant to be.

Not worrying over where I should be or be doing.

The meaning we give life makes it what it is.

We choose that meaning.

Consistency is...

The doing when no-one else is watching.

It's keeping the promises we make to ourselves.

It's knowing that a bad day doesn't change a thing.

It's knowing the tough days and weeks are inevitable yet not letting them break our spirit.

Especially on the days we have nothing to give.

It's understanding it is a journey.

That's never about perfection, but about progress.

It's understanding that we can learn to love or become good at anything if we stay long enough.

It's about doing something over years and decades, not for weeks or months.

Stay in it.

Don't let a bad day set you back.

It's your journey.

One brick at a time.
