Saturday musings, innovation and reflections...

Well the end of another week of discovery!

Enlightenment and progress... It's been a really interesting time writing a surfeit of blog posts during this period of Lent.

Someone asked this week why am I writing the posts? ... that will be the subject of another post later today.

One of this weeks words was 'Self Discipline'... an interesting word often confused with self harm, discipline and punishment. Please do read the post about this... but as I was musing over Self Discipline it can be used to huge effect when trying to be the best you can be... but with it you can get lost in your own ego and 'greatness'. So it is as always in life, a bit of balance.

We can see from the slimming and dieting world that 'self discipline' to restrict what we eat or change what we eat to something that we think is helping us but not natural (pills, shakes, juices) can help to give us a start, but it is focusing on the losing weight not on creating sustainable changes in ourselves. That's where the self discipline needs to come in... rather than punish ourselves consuming something we don't like... which quite frankly we won't do for ever... it is once again short term profit for those selling goods in that sector.... it would seem that our desire for short term rapid results (and spending money on a quick fix) is more preferable to long term life altering gains... A whole industry feeds off this... as we know.

I've released a new website today (only here at the moment if you're quick) for Link4Business in SWHerts. Link4Business is a complete business support system. Since BusinessLink disappeared which I wasn't a big fan of there is not much for those starting in business to tap into... if you think "Business Link" (if you can remember it) but 10 times (that's probably conservative) more effective and useful... that's Link4Business... Do visit the website above and check it out... There is also some more BIG news coming up this weekend as I start work on a couple of additional complementary ideas to work alongside this providing even more value for our local business community.

My attempts at Yoga look like this... 

I just love innovation... 


and don't forget on the 20th and the 23rd March we have two fabulous innovation events... We will be talking about "BIG" at both... so don't miss out and we will be implementing this idea from April onwards... it could be very BIG.... I am going to keep you in suspense until a post later this weekend about what this is all about... so stay tuned.

Another chance to do Yoga this afternoon... after 8 years of saying I was going to... the universe has decreed the time is right... how do I know? ... I went last Saturday... signing up for 5 sessions this afternoon with +Uma Patil ... check out her website Yoga Curious ... and if you are in SW Herts and curious (you could just want to join us) we are doing it every Saturday 4-5pm ... would be good to see you and grow this session.

More posts over the weekend... as I try to get all this lovely content written down... watch out also for the community news letter coming up next week... the SW Herts Business Newsletter - Issue 2 can be found here on the archive page....

Unvaccinated journal

As we approach the 19th July "Freedom day", the reporting frenzy and media has already began to cite the likelihood of a 4th wave, and potential new measures in order to control variants of the virus. The Sun newspaper here in England has mentioned that the Prime Minister has already said that although vaccine passports will not be required for now, they can not be ruled out in the future. This does sound an awful lot like the softening up process that we have come to expect from the Government and that we have bourn witness to many times before. With now half the population vaccinated it does seem a little bit strange that numbers are going up, in fact higher now than any time since February earlier this year. Something appears to have gone slightly awry. Either the numbers aren't right, we're counting the wrong things, the vaccines aren't as effective as touted, or the ones who haven't yet been vaccinated (the young and the obstinate) are more dangerous th

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II

There are definitely mixed feelings about the Royal family in the UK. I guess this is just another thing that divides people and yet, a lady who served in the role she was given for 70 years, unstintingly, impeccably and with grace, in my eyes at least, deserves a big measure of admiration and respect.  Personally I did not know Queen Elizabeth, and like billions of other folk I only knew what I read in the media, and in my case at least (who doesn't consume much in that vein) was very little. However at times like these when there is a prominent individual (who has touched most of us all one way or another) it is yet another chance for reflection on our own mortality. Not in any judgemental way, nor in comparison either, but quite simply, who am I? When a person passes, it forces us to confront the reality of death. We came into being with nothing, and we are here for a while and then we leave with nothing. The beginning, the middle, and the end.  What goes on in the middle for th

The common cold finally defeated...

Well another Christmas and this one was different to any other previous Christmas... in some ways, and yet in others not so much. The first thing was that two weeks prior I caught some bug, a raised temperature a bit of a dull headache (and I don't get headaches) and a general feeling of tiredness. I was actually sick once as well (sorry to the Emetophobians" amongst you, fortunately no pictures though). Now... I've had this sort of thing before as I'm sure many of us have, and after a couple of days of not feeling that hungry either, the old immune system seemed to have done the trick and I was back on form.  Now... roll the clock forward and we're approaching Xmas... an invitation to a "gathering" on Xmas eve required some kind of LFT (Lateral flow test) to attend... so that wasn't going to happen... and also a decision about Xmas day needed to be taken as vaccination status came up. Now I believe everyone must take responsibility for their own choi
