Oh gosh... travel


Last week at Life Clubs we took one of the thoughts that stops us in our lives and shook it on its head.

My current limiting belief (because I'm going to Canada on Sunday) is that I'm hopeless at travel. I'm dreading the journey, the jet lag, the disruption to my life... everything.

Now, I know I'm actually a total traveller at heart. I travelled like mad all my life, especially in my twenties and am still desperate to visit Easter Island which, my husband keeps reminding me, is as far away as it gets.

Nonetheless I panic. But, remembering the lesson learnt at the Life Club, I decided to kick through my fear, teach my limiting belief a lesson, and go to Exeter to see the play a very good friend had directed. I thought it would be a good thing to do - to have a three hour travel before my big travel on Sunday.

Believe it or not, I was petrified about Exeter too. Just being out of my own home. I called my friend numerous times to ask him if I'd be cold in the bedroom at night, if I needed to bring a towel, would we eat after the play or should I bring sandwiches... and on and on.

Everything went wrong that could go wrong. I booked the train tickets to leave from the wrong station, then I left them at home. I asked for seats going forwards and was given ones going backwards and, worst of all, I was in a silent carriage on the way back when I'd specifically asked for a noisy one.

But... I managed. I'm back home (good to be back home) and I travelled. And I loved my travel. So, yes, Life Clubs was good. Just do something you're worried about and you'll be OK.

As my friend, Lowri says, 'Jump and the net will appear'. Is that what you do too?

See you next week,

One Life Survey









We braved One Life and loved it. Our stickers were, once again the talk of the show. We had four this time :

Laugh More
Love More
Play More
Earn More

Guess which ones went quickest? (answers below)

There are photos here of our stand, of Martin (runs our Great Missenden club) wanting to play more, Brigitte (about to start our Hammersmith club) wanting to love more, my son, Thomas, wanting to earn more, Genevieve (my right-hand woman) wanting to laugh more, a few friends we met along the way and Paddington Bear wanting to love more.

It seemed that whatever sticker people wore set their mood for the day. Great fun and a wonderful general way of living your life - deciding what you want and going for it.

(Answers: Laugh More was the most popular, then Play More, Love More and Earn More).

See you at Life Clubs.
