Mini: Right now

This week’s reflective question is all about right now.  If time is a constant, why does it seem to speed up and slow down all the time?  And what about the present moment… not the past, not the future, but right now.  What are you going to use this moment for?

Reflective: Pausing

This week I caught a cold and found it quite challenging to speak, wondering what sound, if any, would come out of my throat – but this got me thinking about times, when, it’s actually a really good idea to deliberately pause before taking action.

Mini: Making Space

This week I learned a valuable lesson – when recording an interview, make sure you’ve enough space left on your recording device. But this got me thinking.  On my recording device, I had many hours of old recordings that I just hadn’t bothered clearing out – so my memory card became full with stuff that wasn’t useful anymore.  Was this a metaphor for other stuff in my life?

Mini: Self-love

Welcome to this week’s mini-episode and curiosity challenge is about reflecting on what you love and appreciate about yourself?  As humans, we are truly amazing and complex.  We have many wonderful qualities and gifts that we bring to the world – so this week’s reflective question is simply a way to help us realise just how amazing we truly are.  We’re all really good at being our own self critics and identifying all the things don’t love about ourselves – so let’s take time instead to identify the things that we do love and appreciate about ourselves.
