When did you last challenge yourself?


 


When did you last challenge yourself? 

Last weekend I went away and organised my first challenge yourself retreat. 

On the retreat 2 ladies were ready to challenge themselves. 

What challenges were they going to face? 

  • Attending 8 coaching sessions from 2 very different but congruent coaches
  • A weekend away for some peace and quiet
  • Meeting new friends
  • Opportunity to step into their stretch zone, doing adventurous outdoor activities
  • Offering different types of adventure in their life
  • Having lots of fun 


So what happened


There were lots of laughs together 


There were tears as they worked through experiences they were finding challenging. 



They made new friends


They entered their stretch zone

What has this allowed them to do following the retreat


Sally quote  Everyone told me it would get easier and with all respect to them, they are lying! They cannot possibly know that. Looking back, leaving things just allows them to sit inside your head, causing more and more pain and hurt. Firstly, get yourself a therapist. Next, book onto this!! Its not a quick fix, but its more than enough to challenge your thinking, see yourself in a way that you've either forgotten, denied, or maybe never realised before. Its also really really fun, you wont regret a second, its easily one of best things I've ever done! The glow inside is priceless


Michelle  It was amazing. Went too quickly. Highly recommend the event! Challenging it definitely was. 


How did I feel at the end of the weekend?


Emotionally overwhelmed with joy. My dream became a reality, when I gained a connection with Adam  I knew the idea would be great and would work because I had been through the process but WOW it was way more than I could ever imagine. 


If you would like to 

Have some peace and quiet
Have a challenge 
Have adventure in your life
Have some fun
Make new friends
See what you really are capable of achieving

  Happy New Year, I wish you an amazing year for 2022, full of a great health, well-being and adventures. I know that is my plan for this year. My name is Jo Brown, I am a woman who is over 50, a mum to 2 sons and a well-being coach. I love the outdoors and the benefits that nature brings to you. I walk my dog Nala every morning, love hiking and I am currently training for the Pennine Way, canoeing, kayaking, camping in a tent or in my van and generally just living my life to the full.   My goal for the new year is to start a regular blog and share information that will support women over the age of 35  who are lost, overwhelmed and unfulfilled to achieve finding their best self, so they know what their values are so they can learn to trust themselves without feeling they have to live their life to other people’s values. The topics will include  various ways of improving your well-being.   The subjects the blog will cover are the following: Being Self Aware  Nutrition Fitness

A weekend of adventure and fun

  A weekend of adventure and fun. The last 2 weekends have been full of adventure, fun and challenge. Meeting lots of new people who have met over the last 2 years on Facebook in a group that offers the spirit of adventure. This weekend it definitely did. A few members from the group set off to Keswick to join the Festival of Light that was being held on Saturday night.  I arrived on the Friday night at the YHA in Keswick (definitely worth a stay), started with a chill before the rest of the group came back from having a meal and spent time getting to know each other. When they came back to the YHA, we had lots of chat and laughs, continuing to get to know each other.  Saturday plans We eventually went to sleep, I woke at 5.30am and got ready for a day of walking, we had an offer of paddleboarding or a walk around Derwent Water a 10 mile walk. With my challenge in August of walking the Pennine Way, I decided the walk was for me. In the evening the plan was to walk to and walk up Catbel
