What a great quick read! I had the opportunity to share meals with strangers/families every single day for 2 years. I noticed that a lot of people who are boring when I asked them “what are you into?” responded with “well i have a family so i don’t do much now” what a sorry excuse and a restrictive mindset. I've met really really really cool, fun, outgoing, and passionate people in their 60s and 70’s who didn't let ‘family life’ restrict their zest for life. They continue to be involved with their friend groups, travel, involve their children in their hobbies, and inspire their children cultivate their own hobbies/passions. That’s the key - the moment you say “ope, i have a kid - time to get boring’. It’s game over. Your family should be your number one priority, but part of that is teaching them to live life. How can they learn to live life if you don't live yours? Aging isn’t scary. Life just keeps getting better and better and better and better with each passing year. Life is amazing when you live it and not exist in it. Eat your whole foods, practice mobility/stretching, and stay active. Age only really starts limiting you around ~80. But even then, this article shows otherwise.

WholeHearted Wednesday 💜 #07 Reinvention—It’s a Thing!   Horses answering emails and typing on a giant keyboard!! What? That could never be…….yet it is! If nothing else to get our attention about reinvention.   Clients come to me seeking something different in their lives. Many clients don’t come up with that a specific wording or concept of reinvention.   And often ‘reinvention” is what the person is expressing once we slow down and take a look at the deeper desire.   Bottom line: The client wants things to be different in their lives. Yet how different and what action to take is a process of discovery and does require some effort.   There is usually no timeline or specific date. It comes down to small action steps toward what they want to create. And we proceed from there.   Up in Iceland, the visitor’s bureau found a way to attract visitors by offering a service outsourcing to trained Icelandic horses who respond to work emails so vacationers can enjoy their time in Iceland.   It’s exactly what it sounds like: outsourcing work emails to a real Icelandic horse trained to type on a gigantic, horse-sized keyboard. It’s a silly offer yet there is a bit of truth seeing a horse pawing at a keyboard and imagining sending that as response to a colleague while the visitor is enjoying time in a beautiful location. As a horse enthusiast, I trust this is just to get our attention and the horses really don’t hit ‘send’. I chuckled reading the article and thought about the concept of reinvention.   I see that even horses, or more than likely, their human owners were looking for something different too. Perhaps the concept of “reinvention” wasn’t really on their mind.   The intent behind the article is to entice visitors out of their comfort zone (answering emails) and into a beautiful space (leaving emails behind).   Reinvention. It’s a thing, really! What is calling you to ‘reinvent’ in your life? What would you like to be different? What is that one small step you can take right now? If Icelandic horses can reinvent, I am confident you can too.   Have a WholeHearted Week! 💜 TC #wholeheartedliving #coaching #iceland You can read all about the horses and the unique email service here:

Could not be prouder of my partner Rose and her 1500 days in a row of cold water dipping. This is a beautiful 6 min film about her journey... but also her reasons for doing what most of us, including me, just think is a ridiculous idea. But watching her do this and hearing her reasons why has taught me lessons: 1. You are braver than you think - Do one hard thing a day and show yourself you can do other hard things too. 2. Life is messy. Keep it simple - The sea and cold water ground you in your body and remind you who you are, not your problems, but a part of nature. 3. Help people feel better - Sharing beautiful experiences brings people together and helps you live a better life. Her company, Salt and Light Retreat, runs beautiful, powerful wellbeing experiences for individuals and companies. Rose Fisher Website: https://lnkd.in/eBB-RFDZ https://lnkd.in/e8tR565e

🏃♂️🌳 This morning, I took to the streets of my neighborhood for a refreshing road running session! 🏡✨ Running in familiar surroundings not only provides a convenient way to stay fit, but it also offers several incredible benefits: 1. **Community Connection:** Running in my neighborhood allows me to connect with neighbors and fellow runners, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. 2. **Mental Clarity:** There's something invigorating about the fresh air and familiar sights that clears the mind and boosts creativity and productivity. 3. **Physical Health:** Regular running improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and boosts overall fitness levels. 4. **Stress Relief:** It's a fantastic way to reduce stress and improve mental well-being, especially with the natural beauty of the surroundings adding to the experience. 5. **Consistency:** Proximity to home makes it easier to stick to a routine, ensuring that exercise becomes a regular part of my lifestyle. If you haven't already, I highly recommend lacing up your running shoes and hitting the road in your neighborhood. It's a simple yet powerful way to enhance both physical and mental health. See you on the streets! 🏃♀️👟 #Running #Fitness #Community #MentalHealth #HealthyLifestyle Morning run on AllTrails https://lnkd.in/dWAXkpAT

I THINK MR GRINCH MAY HAVE HAD A POINT ... “Maybe Christmas (he thought) doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.” The Grinch. At this time of the year it shouldn't be all about the rush of customers or the sound of the tills ringing. It should be about feeling and being part of something more. You can only imagine my delight, following a suggestion to our teams to have some fun on our Facebook platform throughout the Christmas period, I saw this incredibly creative (and utterly hilarious) post from our Ulverston store. Working collaboratively to not only engage followers on our social media, by giving them a snapshot into who we are as people, but using imagination and flair to have bags of fun. We often forget how much of an impact having fun at work has. Having fun leads to happier teams. Happier team members are more engaged. Engaged employees show increased rates of productivity as well as a far lower rate of absenteeism from work. Key metics that we are all predominantly focused on as a business and yet how often do we prioritize fun? For retail workers it can be one of the most stressful and pressured times of the year. Now, i'm not advocating dressing up as the Grinch for work tomorrow but perhaps let's try and have a laugh with our colleagues and enjoy the time we spend in each other's company. During our lifetime we spend around 90,000 hours doing our jobs. That's a really long time so we may as well enjoy ourselves doing it, right? Don't forget it's good for us and our business too! #petindustry #employeeexperience #employeeengagement #funatwork WCF Pet & Equestrian

Do you prefer to be in control? Recently, I took a vacation to Hawaii with my family. My wife made it a fantastic experience with something new to do everyday. In particular we took a day to ride horses and mine was pretty stubborn… his name was “Joey.” This horse did not want me in control. I had to trust him and so after a bit I saw what was happening… I could not make this horse do anything! I had to trust him to take me on this journey around the ranch. Just like with life, or work, I have to do the same thing… put my trust in others, my team and it would all work out if I just relaxed and went along for the ride. In the end we can all experience the journey and not just the final destination. Why stress and worry? It will all work itself out. Having support is truly a gift - we all work so hard every day… we owe it to ourselves! Agree? #digitalmarketing #teamwork #EmbraceTheJourney #LifeBalance #JourneyOverDestination #PersonalGrowth
