New Site: emholmes.com

by Emma Holmes on October 13, 2011

Hello!

I have recently launched an additional site and started writing more personal posts over at:

emholmes.com

Where Deliberate often shares outside inspiration and quotes from other people, emholmes.com goes a bit deeper with personal stories, approaches that I have tried and life experiments, that I hope you find equally as inspiring and help you in some way. It’s a space for me to write about things that might not always be the right fit for Deliberate.

I would love to invite you to join me over in that space.

Visit emholmes.com

Are you in?

Thank You Steve

by Emma Holmes on October 7, 2011

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve, you definitely made a dent in the universe and my individual universe.

Thank you xxx

A brilliant video on how to start a movement. (Ignore the commercial afterwards)

What movement will you start today?

Be Deliberate!

Let it go!

by Emma Holmes on September 26, 2011

Do you ever try to capture the present moment as if it is something that can be contained within a box?

You cannot possibly store or share every single memory, every quote and every good time you have ever had.

If you are constantly looking back, what does that mean in the present?

Be present.

Breathe.

The past is often great but all there really is, is now. Enjoy it!

On a recent trip to St Ives, I found myself taking loads of photos.

If you have ever been to St Ives you will know how beautiful it is and how many photos you could take.

In the end howver, my constant picture taking started to distract, annoy and frustrate me. I couldn’t walk 10 steps without taking pictures!

What I did instead

I simply left my camera phone at home and went for a long walk. Just me and my thoughts.

The result

I felt free and relaxed. I wasn’t interrupted as soon as I saw something beautiful by the thought that I had to capture it and hang onto it.

I appreciated the amazing surroundings moment by moment.

My inner voice quietened down and I just enjoyed the scenery.

Try it sometime. No need to hang on so tightly to the present as it becomes the past.

Here is one picture for you to savour that I took once I got my happy snapping under control:

Be Deliberate!

- Emma :D
