What are your success habits?
There are a couple of them –
|
What is the best advice you have ever received?
The best advice I have received is – “relax, you cannot do everything right and you do not need to”. It takes a lot of unneeded pressure off and makes life more enjoyable. |
What are you most proud of?
|
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
I do not like public speaking. |
What have you always wanted to try, but have never found the time to actually do it?
Travel for a 6-month period. The longest I was able to manage was 2 months — I was lucky enough to do it just before the pandemic started. |
What is your current challenge or goal?
|
What are your hobbies or activities to relax?
There are many of them, but the main would be travelling, reading and spending time in nature – by the sea, in the garden, in the countryside. |
How do you push through your worst times?
I start by saying to myself “I can do it”. Then I spend some time reflecting and asking what it is that I really want to do now. Then, I make some plans and follow them, at the same time giving myself permission to do nothing and feel OK with it. |
