Change your mindset – Change your life

April is nearly over which means 1/3 of the year is already in the books!

I heard a statement the other day that we are all in the same boat. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Now is not the time to compare your boat to somebody else’s, it’s time to simply be grateful that you have a boat. You never know, that mega yacht next to you might have a huge hole in it, the family could be drowning inside or it could be full of depression, anxiety or even domestic violence. 

For some, quarantine is optimal. A moment of reflection, of re-connection, shoes off, hair down, peace, rest & time with their mother, father, sons & daughters. For others, this is a desperate time filled with financial & family hardship. For some that live alone they’re facing endless loneliness. 

So, we must remember we are not all in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different.

We are all on different boats during this storm, each experiencing a very different journey. It’s because of these challenging times we must focus on our mental well-being and our ability to thrive through this unprecedented time. I feel that there are three simple steps that we can do each day that can have an overwhelming impact on our state of mind.

1 – Daily Routine… the Focus each day around activation meditation and appreciation

2 – Digital Detox… give your mind, your heart, your soul and your eyes an opportunity to be free from the overwhelming negativity that is consumed through the digital era.

3 – Being Moved Daily… find a video, song anything that gets you emotionally charged, emotionally pumped up and ready to take on the world. These are three very simple steps that can have such a powerful transformation on your head and our heart. Here is a short 3 minute clip elaborating on these three points. Click on the image below.

I recently contributed to The Weekend Australia, Travel + Luxury. An article about long haul travel, written by Elle Halliwell.

There are many things to love about living in Australia. The hours of air travel required to visit distant destinations, however, is not one of them. This collective isolation has endowed us with a masterful ability to withstand some of the world’s most extreme flight routes, including gruelling ultra-long-haul flights of 16 hours or longer. If you want to know which seats to avoid in economy, the best airport transit lounges or the skincare.

 

In 2026, we’ll find out just how far we can push the limits of our in-flight resilience when Qantas launches Project Sunrise, the non-stop flights connecting Australia’s east coast with London and New York City. Meanwhile, the airline has been testing our tolerance with slightly shorter services, including July 12’s inaugural non-stop flight from Perth to Paris, a 14,264km journey taking about 17 hours.

As the countdown to the take-off of the world’s first 20-hour flight begins, we’ve gathered insights from some of Australia’s frequent flyers on how to survive hours in the air.

 

Michael Crossland, International speaker and author

 

Michael Crossland’s intensive pre and post-flight recovery regimen rivals that of an elite athlete. The international speaker travels long haul at least once a month, sometimes visiting the US for less than a day. “Last month, I flew out of Sydney on Wednesday morning, spoke Thursday morning in Las Vegas and flew home Thursday night,” he says.

Preparation begins with choosing an optimal flight time. “The Qantas night flight out of LAX into Sydney is a beauty, along with the evening Perth to London flight,” he says. “I also always change my clock as soon as I get on board and try to get my body and mind into the destination’s time zone as quickly as possible.”

Health is a top priority for the author and cancer survivor, whose carry-on essentials include sanitiser, face masks, vitamin C supplements, a comfortable eye mask and earplugs. “Not foam ones,” he adds, “but swimming ear plugs as they’re better at blocking out noise.”

For the ultimate post-flight sleep recovery and hydration, the former professional baseball player swears by a post-flight routine involving vitamin-infused IV drips, cold plunges and infrared saunas.

 

But the long-haul hack that never fails to draw looks of envy from fellow passengers costs him less than $10 a flight. “I buy a cheap, full-sized pillow from a discount department store – they’re so much more comfortable than the ones provided, even in business class and just leave it on the plane,” he says.
