The “Can you just”… reflex to say yes to the meeting, to the favour, to the revision that can wait,, that thing that’s needed by Friday or even Monday morning…

Most people design their week around what they need to do for other people, not around what their own nervous system can actually sustain.

Every year fills the calendar with someone else’s priorities until there’s nothing left for you to enjoy.

Your performance ride on the state of your nervous system, which swings between stressed and recovery all week.

Building your week around your capability not your expected capacity puts yourself first.

Protect recovery windows, schedule decompression time, create a lighter week watch sustainability beat survival by the end of the year!

Sleep is when the brain and body do their most important maintenance: building brain networks, consolidating what we learned, clearing the by-products that build up while we are awake, and resetting the hormones that govern our appetite, stress and mood.
💤
Cut it short and we suffer the cost the next day, in our focus, judgement and patience.
💤
Being awake from 6am until midnight, that’s just 18 hours, drops brain performance to about the legal drink-driving limit in many countries.
💤 
The fix is not a better supplement. It’s a commitment to it. A consistent bedtime, dimmer lights, an earlier final coffee and protecting the few hours you already have.
💤 
This is education, not a diagnosis. One bad night is normal but persistent insomnia is worth seeing a clinician for.
💤
Save this for your next heavy week.

Make peace with the hard moments, let those days shape you, there’s always a lesson somewhere deep in there. It will reveal itself in time…

Comfort doesn’t make anything new. It traps the old you and drags it forward.

Avoiding the hard moments delays the suffering, but the only way out is through so sit with it for a time if you need to, and then push through…

You don’t have to enjoy it to still embrace it and become a conqueror!

Pain is a warning signal, sometimes a damage report BUT sometimes it’s your brain telling you something else is wrong!

Most of us have always been taught pain = damage… This one reframe where pain actually arises from and what this means for you, your stress levels and how you treat it…

This is why I don’t really want to join your run club….

Nothing against the community vibes I’m just still out the pioneering my

My brain needs 90 minutes of nature, quiet, sun and a very present focus on the terrain in front of me as it slowly take the solid slab of 💩 it’s been dealing with all weak and shakes into tiny pieces that seem to blow away in the wind before I’m done!

I’d highly recommend it!

Twenty-five years, one idea.

Rugby, then rehab for professional footballers, then rebuilding injured soldiers coming back from Afghanistan, then gyms, executives and mountains.

Different countries, many gyms, same lesson:
We cannot separate the body from the state of the nervous system carrying it, and real performance is what we can sustain, not what we can force irregularly.

That’s what I’ll be sharing more of here.

For years I’ve been suspecting that I’m on to something, now it’s time formalise it, fill in the gaps and share with you!

Stick around if it’s your kind of thing.

Midlife hits high-performing men in a strange way.
You’ve built the career, the reputation, working on the physique, and then the drive that got you there just isn’t firing the same way…

Focus scatters. Recovery slows.
The edge feels dull, even though you’re doing “everything right.”

That’s rarely a willpower problem. More often it’s a nervous system and brain performance challenge, and it’s what I now spend my time working on.

I’m currently on a side quest to complete an MSc in Neuroscience, and use qEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback as tools to look under the hood:
🧠
How the brain is regulating stress, attention and recovery, and where that regulation is breaking down. Paired with coaching and physical performance work, it gives a much clearer picture of what’s actually limiting someone, rather than guessing.

Up until now I’ve been helping people with movement, (1 hour a day, 2-3 days a week) to combat the ill effects of all of the above…

Now it’s time to step out of that lane and dig into the other 23 hours a day and helping you figure out for yourself what effect your brain and recovery is having on the rest of your life!
🙌
So LFG!

Sometimes the problem is not the problem, sometimes it is our attitude towards the problem…
🤔
For me exercising takes the weight of the problem in my head and shakes it… Rattles it around, chips away at it, breaks it down into smaller pieces -> massively weakening it…
🙌
Running, lifting, cycling does nothing to actually change the external circumstances but it enables me to look at things differently and have more confidence in my own capacity to deal with it…
💪
I wonder how many of use exercise as our only stress reliever?
Our only strategy to help us feel better?
Talking helps…
Resting helps…
Supplements help…
But also having a purpose helps…
Having a mission or a massive goal helps…
🤔
But how many of us tap into that?
The deeper work…?

Don’t give up your day job they said!
😂
The other day I shared some videos on the investigation that’s going on into how covid was managed.
Whatever your position is now or was back then, we all know the endless list of restrictions didn’t make sense, millions died and maybe millions more since…
🤯
The grey area in between those who think the people in charge did their best to help keep people safe and those who think they whole thing was “planned for profit” is in my mind, a reflection of how much empathy each of us is willing to show and who we choose to be empathetic to…
🙌
At the end of the day we’re all still the same, we’re all human, we’re all messy.
Some people want answers and some people want to move on.
👀
Will we ever know enough to make sure this never happens again?
Will people be ok admitting they were wrong?
Will people forgive each other & welcome them back in?
Will our beliefs continue to be attributed to somebody else’s politics?
Will the right amount of trust ever be restored in experts?
🤷‍♂️
All of this is broken, and can never be repaired without the truth….
Some people are trying but hiding the truth and staying quiet doesn’t give any of us anything we need for a better future, that’s all I wanted to show you because I expected you probably missed it in your news feed!
