Episode 65: Settle back into the moment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We miss so much by rushing on past moments, always on to the next things to do or see or be.
As I bridge the gap between launching my new programme 'Get Your Life Back' and starting working with those lovely people who joined, this quote from Joseph Goldstein came back to support me:
"There is great value in slowing down all our activities. No hurry. No place to go. Nothing else to do but just a settling back into the moment."
My default setting was always to be on to the next thing as I loved achieving things and wanted to live life to the full.
I still do, but have learnt that my life is fuller when I remember to settle back into the moment.
Three things I’m currently offering:
The Gently Rebellious One Minute Journal, available on Amazon – a clear, practical way to keep in touch with the guidance of your Heartfelt Wish List every day of the year in just one minute.
Manifest Your Dreams in 2026 – a special New Year one-to-one bespoke coaching package.
Whatever you decide, I hope you decide to find a way to stay focused on what matters most to you.
This podcast was created to help big-hearted, driven professionals break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease, and joy.
