Original text to restoreThe full text of this post could not be retrieved from the old site during the rebuild. What follows describes what the piece covers — paste Emma's original writing in over the top of it.
Emma describes the mental fog and loss of clarity that followed her Ironman Vichy triathlon in late 2018, and how lockdown made it worse. Her response was a full review of her own life against the things she teaches: meditation and yoga practice, journalling, positive affirmations, time outdoors, exercise beyond yoga, nurturing relationships, nutrition and detoxification, making space for creative work, sleep, and seeking mentorship. She admits having abandoned her previously clean eating during heavy triathlon training in favour of a great deal of carbohydrate, references reading on grain sensitivity, and undertakes a detox — reporting that the mists are clearing and her sparkle is emerging. She argues for the value of a periodic personal audit, and credits her mentors Richard and Mary Freeman, Glenn Ceresoli and Caroline Britton. She closes by asking readers what else belongs in a Clarity MOT.
