Motivational Quotes
I am always scouring the internet for something inspiring or motivational. And I like to share what I find here.
It is not too late
I don't know who needs to hear this but it's not too late. You can change your whole life, you can take back control of your own fate. It's not too late to start all over again, you're not too old to chase your dream career instead of a job that's a means to an end. It's never too late to prioritise not just your health but your entire self. Don't stay in situations, relationships or places that make you question how worthy you are. Your life is too short and far too beautiful, to live it as though are anything but the main star.
Amy Jones
Walt Whitman Quote
Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you.
Growth Mindset
The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.
Carol Dweck
Emotional Well-Being
Emotional well-being is just as important to us as breathing is.
You Set the Rules
“People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you’re lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.”
Carrie Ann Moss
Live up to your potential
If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Abraham Maslow
Battery Analogy
I often talk to clients about the “battery analogy”, understanding what drains us, what recharges us, and how to manage our energy with compassion rather than pressure.
And, as always, I try to practice what I preach.
Some weeks can be tough. As someone with AuDHD, I’ve recently been moving through a period of burnout and shutdown. My battery has been running low, and it’s taken honesty with myself to recognise it.
🔋 My draining activities:
• The never-ending cycle of housework
• Busy supermarkets and overstimulating environments
• “Daily life admin” that demands constant executive function
🔌 My recharging activities:
• My coaching work - holding space for others genuinely energises me
• Creating meaningful, authentic connections
• Self-care and quiet “me time” that gives my nervous system room to breathe.
Using the battery analogy with clients recently reminded me that awareness isn’t enough; we have to act on it. So I’m slowing down, permitting myself to pause, and intentionally choosing activities that plug me back in.
If you’re reading this and your battery feels low too, this is your reminder:
You’re not failing. You’re depleted. And depletion can be restored.
Take a moment today to notice what drains you, what refuels you, and what you need right now.
We’re all allowed to recharge.
