To feel crap.

Yes, your read that right.

You totally have my permission to feel a bit flat, not quite get it right, feel a bit vulnerable, feel a bit worn out. No judgement, and to be honest, I am not bloody surprised.

The past 15 months or so, have been nothing more than exhausting, both in personal and business terms, and the general feeling of waiting for something crap to happen. It’s like driving a car at high speed not knowing what is around the corner, or sometimes, for me, it’s felt like I am laying down train tracks as quickly as I can, with a high speed train on its way.

This is June the 14th 2021, and I safely say, that for the past couple of weeks, what I have noticed is, fear, fear, and more fear, mixed in with not getting communication not quite right, possibly not being as organised as we usually are, and lots of other unexpected nonsense just deciding to rear it’s goddamn head. Sometimes the only thing you can do, is try to give yourself a sensory distraction - hot bath, give yourself a foot rub, or book in with me and I will do it! Just take your foot off the pedal and stop mentally beating yourself up.

I really have noticed some absolute cock ups recently with regard to not having the right conversations at the right time. Whether it’s you, or whether it’s someone else, just stop what you are doing and just breath, instead of going for the option of having a meltdown.

Don’t get me wrong, the odd meltdown with some ugly crying a snot, can really clear the decks, but I’d rather not be in a situation where I look like a punchbag we’ a tattie nose (thats what my Mum calls it).

I really am sorry if you are feeling down trodden at the moment. Sometimes you really do need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. That’s from a musical and I can’t remember which one. Hang on, I’ll call my Mum… Swing Time with Fred Astaire. My Mum is better than Alexa.

So anyway.

Please don’t keep feeling awful to yourself. Especially ESPECIALLY if you are with the work form home corporate athletes. You will be surprised at the amount of people who will LISTEN and empathise with you, a

Please also reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help.
