Some of my favourite childhood memories were family trips to Noosa Heads, way back when the carpark was still dirt ?

I loved the ocean and all things beach; the sun, the sand, the wildlife.

Body surfing with my Dad was one of my absolute highlights fo our beach days.

Except when it wasn’t…

The ocean, much like life, can be wild and unpredictable.

There were times when I rode the waves like a master.

Other times I was picked up by the power of the waves and dumped by a “dumper” – finding myself in a washing machine of froth, sand and strong currents.

Vision blocked by salt water, sand and snot.

Disorientated by the constant motion and spinning of the strong wave, arms and legs flailing in the water, panic not far away…

Trapped, not knowing which way was up, or how to escape.

On reflection 2020 has felt much the same way for me at times – I have had some amazing experiences and also some “trapped, not knowing which way is up moments”

Speaking with some of my clients, I realized that I was most certainly not alone in how the year had treated me.

I also realized that when I looked forward to what I wanted to achieve in 2021, I was creating my future from my current energetic/emotional state.

Let me say that again – any goal set, or desire I have, are all created from wherever I am energetically right now.

In a nutshell, unless I am currently in a high energy state (say a +5 and above on the SUE Scale), anything I plan is going to be from a place of confusion or “trapped in the wave” energetic state.
