"Writing about the strategies I learn really help to drive it home for myself." I have been working through a Mental Performance Mastery Certification lately and I find that I sink ideas better into myself when I then write about them after learning, and I wanted to write about the one that has really stuck...

Apparel mission
"What do our shirts mean to us?" As you may have seen through our social media channels, as well as writing this daily journal, we also design shirts with meaning. I wanted to take a chance here to talk about exactly what these designs mean to us and the reason behind them. I... Continue Reading →
New Adventure
And some nights, my thoughts don't flow out as a blog or an article. Some nights, poetry is all that's in there. These strange times when we're forced in, still finding ways to fight and win. It all seems tough but that's good you see, we grow more in adversity. So hoist the black flag... Continue Reading →
Hold the line
"Are people going to take advantage of the relaxed restrictions and cause a new problem?" We seem to be at a tipping point. The COVID-19 numbers are quite low here in Australia and from my purely non-medical perspective, seem to be under control. The logical next step for a nation in economic struggle is...

It was a cool moment where I was completely lost in time researching an old quote so I could grasp a better understanding of it while constructing the... Continue Reading →
Parenting in tough times
How can I help Amy more in this tough time? What extra support and help can I give her when she asks for advice? It's no surprise that the already super tough parenting gig got that little bit tougher in the Pandemic. Our youngest, Hazel, has been a handful for these first few months and... Continue Reading →
My feedback journey
Listen to feedback that interests me at the time or supports my ego. Reject all other feedback. ⇓ Consider all feedback received for the potential growth. Struggle with dis confirming feedback. ⇓ Seek out all feedback. Where can I improve? This is a hugely over simplified model of how my journey of feedback has progressed, but... Continue Reading →
Do the hard things
Do the hard things before the hard things are necessary. It's a sentiment that's easily ignored, or even just flat out unknown, in relatively comfortable times, but then the big bang happens. Our big bang is Covid-19 and if you haven't trained yourself for a moment like this then you likely struggled a little... Continue Reading →
