 As 2011 came to a close, I simply savoured the time with my children, friends and family and, also, time away from the computer! In December I didn’t feel ready to fully reflect on the year that was, nor set my intentions for the year to come… I’m grateful for the quiet, unplugged time and glad I didn’t push myself to write this review post before I was ready! As the clocks tick over  In the past couple of decades, the idea of having work-life balance has really taken hold. Problem is, work-life balance doesn’t exist, and the pursuit of this unachievable ideal is leading many women away from their most fulfilling, satisfying and joyful dream life.  Christmas is fast approaching, and most people are wrapping up their work year, taking holidays and spending time with the family. Theoretically, this is the month we slow down to reconnect with loved ones, celebrate the year past, and gratefully acknowledge all our blessings. In reality, for many, it is the most stressful month of the year.  There’s been a lot of criticism of size-zero fashion models and celebrities, and more recently, ridiculously over-manipulated photographs of women, and the impact of these unrealistic representations of beauty on self-image. But our perceptions of physical beauty may not be the only thing being distorted by unrealistic representations in the media…  Having a great network of supporters is so important in any major endeavour – whether it’s to do with your business, your 9 to 5 job, or even a personal goal. You simply can’t do it all on your own. So, how do you inspire these people to really get ‘on board’ with your plans?  For the past couple of weeks we’ve been talking about what it really takes to live your dream. First, we met my friend Sara, who made a radical tree-change with her husband and two daughters. Then we talked about the fear that can stop us going after our dream, and ways around the fear. And I promised to share some of the challenges I’ve experienced in making my dream of building a living savvy community a reality…  In the Inside Living Savvy series, I’ll be sharing my experience of creating an online lifestyle program for women aspiring to live extraordinary lives. Join me for a peek behind the scenes. This week I share my thoughts on how we can create boundaries and space in our lives by saying ‘no’, and how living our dream life is not as simple as just saying ‘no’ more often.  When we buy a car, or a computer, it comes with a manual. Our bodies are the most complex biological system in the universe, and yet most of us have little understanding of how it actually works, physically or mentally. We recognize the importance of taking our car in for a service, oil change or tune up, but do we know how to service our bodies? We know how to install a new program on our computer, but do we know how to reprogram our minds?  In the Inside Living Savvy series, I share my experience of creating an online lifestyle program for women aspiring to live extraordinary lives. The first stage of the Living Savvy journey was a whirlwind of late nights, long meetings, high emotions and hard decisions. Here are my tips for launching a big project without burning out.
