A leap of faith, trusting in yourself and just going for it.

We don’t tend to like feeling vulnerable or exposed and so committing to something that requires a leap of faith means getting out that comfort zone.

In physical training we have to stress the body to create positive development, same with our minds.

Just go for it.

Always make sure your jacket matches your tent!

Always make sure your jacket matches your tent!

Yep not the most meaningful bit of advice I’ve ever given out 😂

It really does not matter at all, all that matters is that you get out there and enjoy being out there.

Unfortunately at times this media world can make us feel that we can only do things if we act a certain way, or have certain things.

It’s mostly just clever marketing, what’s inside us is most important and it’s what we take with us everywhere.

What an amazing weekend, an incredible group of ladies starting their journey to Norway.
I felt so lucky to be there working with you all.

Our training to be the first all-female team to complete the #HeroesofTelemark has begun 💪 Another incredible weekend with the FWC ladies @rmasandhurst

The weekend for many is still that sacred time, that time after a week of work you can go play. Well don’t waste it!

Go do something new, challenge yourself, don’t just settle and accept the norm.

I believe we need to keep growing in body and mind and just like a training pattern, if we stay locked into the same routine for too long, we stagnate, shake things up a little, bring yourself back to life.

Have a great weekend

Made the call to head to coast yesterday evening, found a beautiful little spot only a mile off the beaten track.

It was an evening that just kept giving, sunset, bright moon, crazy cloud, visit from a seal, a nice cold swim and all shared with the crew.

Both Lily and I were like, ah can we be bothered. So chuffed we went for it.

If your thinking, ahh do I have the energy? Can I be bothered? Say yes, these moments can bring the best rewards.

Check out @extreme_element_productions for some of the evening shots, oh some will be on story here as well.

As we at times live in our struggle and push forward, it’s easy to miss the amazing things around us. We can become so locked in to our objective, we don’t fully realise how much we have all ready achieved.

Having self reflection and evaluation can speed up your ability to acquire your main goal, how? When we pause and see how far we have come, it can give us more belief, belief is fuel, it’s fire inside us like no other.

It takes practise and yes self belief is a hard fuel to find, thus why it’s so important to practise getting it.

Believe in you

I think we all get that feeling sometimes that lif

I think we all get that feeling sometimes that life is dropping away beneath us.

Others are great at putting doubt into our minds, this doubt can stop us doing, removing our self belief.

Shut the door on doubt, especially if it’s coming from others, you have to believe in you, it’s so important.

📷 I love #viaferrata you can get some amazing exposure like the world really is dropping away. These environments have no room for doubt!

Sometimes it is purely just about the photo. Lil

Dropping into a new week like……….

Actually it’s a super late start for me, busy few weeks and definitely in need of a switch off morning.

We must listen and learn from our body and mind, when we do this it is not such a negative to take that little break.

Have a great week, push hard, but don’t beat yourself up if you need an extra hour of chill. (Kind of self talk this)

📷 sometimes it’s the words not the photo that are key

Time in the mountains or on the oceans teaches us

Time in the mountains or on the oceans teaches us so much that we can take into every day life.

Lesson one - conditions can change very quickly, a beautiful day can turn into a storm where you need to be calm and quick thinking to stay safe.

How many times does a day at home or at work turn like this?

Keeping a calm head and rationalising your situation is so important, just remember when your day goes bad at work it’s not life or death. (Depending on your career)

Taking what we learn in these beautiful but dangerous (at times) places and brining it into play everyday.

Have a great weekend

I can literally read my thoughts from this shot, it’s the moment you realise you got to get down.

For me it’s an ok pull your s#*$ together make the first couple turns and it will be good kinda moment.

It’s always scary making those first steps into something challenging, but it’s so worth overcoming that fear, the reward is amazing.

This relates to work, family, adventure, be brave take the step.

Looking forward to that feeling of sliding down mountains.

There’s something so rewarding about climbing a peak and then skiing off, using so much energy to climb and for me then surviving what can be a super long descent, it’s the best kind of fatigue.

Totally a type 2 fun kind of thing.

📷 My @garminuk #inreachmini was even more important last winter, with no lifts or ski patrols and no piste maintenance having emergency comms is a must.
