Goodbye Bulgaria and Nottingham, hello Surrey/Hants and N. Ireland!

What a FUN start to 2012!! I managed to fit in some fantastic snowboarding in Bulgaria last week and was struck again by how much confidence- and what's going on in your head- plays a part in what you achieve! There's definitely something to be said for white-out conditions: when you're heading up on the gondola and you can't see the runs, you can't see how steep they are and psyche yourself out! You also aren't standing at the bottom of them and contemplating how sharp the angles look! Instead, if you're like me, you've just got the word of someone you trust that you can do it (my beloved had already been down this particular black run) and so you set off to enjoy it... I might add that that particular run became one of my favourites :) Only on the last day did the skies clear so we could see what we'd actually been coming down in all its glory- and it was fearsome... but we'd DONE it, so our perspective was one of success and enjoyment, rather than being focused on whether we'd have received top marks for artistic merit!!

When we compete, perhaps we'd do well to remember that we went for it and that even if we land on our butt on one run, there'll always be more runs and chances to get it right. And the journey itself can be exquisitely beautiful if we intentionally notice it as we go... I hope 2012 is the year when the views along the way blow your mind with their brilliance.

If we haven't worked together yet, let me encourage you. On the events page you'll find a few dates coming up in N. Ireland that are open for bookings and I'm also regularly back and forth to Nottingham so if you're in that area, get in touch for dates there too. I'll be in Surrey/Hants at the end of this month but my time there is PACKED to the rafters (with a waiting list), so I'm sorry I've no room there on this occasion. As ever though, get in touch and let's see what we can make work for you. Even if I don't have an event coming up in your area, we can always work over Skype.

Make 2012 your year to achieve your dreams!
