What does it mean to live an ethical life?

 

In the last few weeks I've thought long and hard about what it means to be ethical and why, for me, it is the only way to run a business, and to BE, in life.

I'm not going to go into details, but suffice it to say, today I resigned as director of a company I set up with my now ex-business partner in December last year. Trust was eroded for me and the business relationship had become unethical.

More Acro Yoga...pushing limits!

On Saturday I took my first (regular) Acro Yoga class with Jaqui Wan in London - yes I'm going to travel all the way to Canary Wharf each Saturday for an hour and a half class...and I joined the Reebok Sports Club for the privilege (not a hardship with the beautiful swimming pool overlooking the O2 building and the plushest changing facilities in history!)

You may remember I wrote about taking a workshop with Jaqui in Brighton back in April, and I've been deliberating whether or not to make the weekly trip to London to join a regular class ever since.  Not only was it the friendliest class I've taken since my acrobatic days at the City Lit in the 80's (there's a theme emerging here about "community"), but I got to challenge myself beyond any perceived limits.  I even ended up being the "flyer" (that's the person on top) doing the twisting balance in the picture above!

I have a feeling that this new hobby is going to influence my life as a whole - especially as I'm going through some interesting changes with one of my businesses right now.  Having the opportunity to take risks physically I'm sure will inform how I meet these new work challenges.  Besides, I'd forgotten (while taking myself so seriously of late) how to connect with my playful, curious side!
