You are helping to raise, love and influence the next generation and your own little legacies! So instead of looking at this opportunity as work, lean into and learn from all the messy ups and downs. Find other like-minded friends to stumble with you through this whole new chapter of your life you are navigating.
Secondly, and just as I am doing right now with a producer returning to work, with two small babies in tow, is to create and allow time and space to re-examine and explore who you now are and have become as a result of your new role, your new core values and what you will — as sad as aspects of it may feel, let go of in order to build and craft the new you.
Some of us will mourn the freedom to jump on a plane and travel regularly for work as a very real loss — and that, for the time being, might need to be grieved. I often work with the Gallup Strengthfinder which allows anyone to see their innate and definitive top five strengths. Somehow when we read what comes out of a minute questionnaire, which you can do whilst feeding an infant with one eye closed, we suddenly become reminded of who we are and what we are capable of, within any situation, in any different working areas.
These days, rather than being driven by routine, pushing myself, or proving myself, I just go with the flow of what feels right that morning. My morning flow is absolutely critical in honouring how I operate and who I am as a result of making connecting with the ocean, my body, a quiet mind.
I try to schedule all of my work as a coach, facilitator and speaker to be in alignment with the other aspects of my life that I consider to be of equal importance. This work is rich, poignant and hugely insightful and feels a privilege to include outside of the busy day-to-day. And then there is, of course, the Be Here Now film legacy continuum where typically I travel twice yearly to speak and present at various events and conferences on how to embrace an inhibited life, how to develop and harness greater inner leadership and the all-important topic of building and crafting our own inspiring and impactful legacy.
There has to be a diverse variety of projects that have new challenges woven through them as I am completely incapable of living a go-through-the-motions type of existence. And everything HAS to not just feel real but be authentic; whatever I am working on and whomever I am working with, the material and content has to be facilitated, created and owned with absolute authenticity.
Balance, variety, fun and freedom are what keep me energised. Working, coaching, speaking and the ongoing learning journey of studying neuroscience, psychology, spiritual and emotional human experience within the meaning of life, loss and death are what give me a never-ending source of purpose and meaning in my life.
I think the key here is, again, creating a structure and honouring rituals in your life through which you can find your own flow and achieve a sense of balance. If you need some alone time, work on creating that in your daily life even in small steps.
When we TRY, we move out of self and into inauthenticity. I mentioned going outward is a big no no and will always be an unsatisfying adventure because the answers are inside all of us.
I usually tiptoe out at around five am for coffee and some beach time. We then all get ready and have brekkie together. I am an absolute morning lover and always try and bring awareness to the fact that it is a new opportunity each and every day to experience something new. This is critical to me. So even when that is the reality, acknowledging all the loveliness of the pink clouds from our kitchen window, or bringing the kids a fresh-baked chocolate croissant on a rainy day, or even painstakingly and patiently standing beside them while they make the scrambled eggs, throwing in a few wisecracks about what an awesome partner Jesse will make knowing how to make the best fluffy eggs ever, is what turns the rush into memorable moments.
Time alone is critical, but I also really crave time with my kids connecting, eating foods that my body likes, learning something new and feeling like I am being of service or making a difference on a daily basis. Exercise, movement, the ocean and meditation are critical not only to my mental health but to my actual well-being. Whilst I am often described as being hugely strong physically and emotionally, my immune and lymphatic systems cannot cope without me being fairly diligent with nutritious foods and movement.
Ah, the time conundrum. Now that my kids are older it is SO much easier to create and make time but previously, I used every extra cent I had to pay for someone to come even if for an hour in the mornings to watch the kids so that I could start afresh. I am my best when I make space required to have me be that and I coach and inspire others to do the same.
