The United Nations General Assembly designated 11 December as International Mountain Day. This day is an opportunity to create awareness about the importance of mountains to life and to build partnerships that will bring positive change to the world’s Mountains and Highlands. This year the theme is Mountains & Forests so what better way to mark it than be Mountain High on the 11th December and plant a tree.

I am teaming up with Alison Price of Women in Charge to find 98 women to join us to take a Leap of Faith from the Macau Tower, home to the world’s highest bungee jump. It will be the first time such an event has been held in the region so participants will be making modern day adventure history for women!  Women will have the opportunity to choose from one of three challenges off the tower: Sky Jump, Bungee Jump or the Skywalk, all under the expert supervision and guidance of the AJ Hackett team.

At the other side of fear is power – so we are calling all women to rise to the challenge and step out of their comfort zone and experience the exhilaration of taking a leap or walk of faith into a whole new world of possibilities.

The event will also raise awareness and funds for breast cancer under the umbrella of the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. Participants will be encouraged to have friends, clients, colleagues, family and corporate organizations support the event by making on-line donations direct to the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. Click on www.cancer-fund.org to donate.

The celebrations will continue with a special Women in Charge social gathering from 6.30-8.30pm at “Coast” in the Kinwick Centre, Soho.  The evening event is open to all women and provides a unique opportunity to network with a dynamic group of proactive women and be inspired by an incredible guest speaker for the night.

To register for the “Leap of Faith” event click here.  Registration costs just HK$300 and the actual jump fee will be the Macau Sky Tower fees – they are supporting the event by offering 20-40% off their regular prices!  Once you have registered simply send/email us confirmation of payment and you are all set to go!   For more information contact jules@mountainhighme.com.

Connect with Nature

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step . Everyday take steps to move you forward along the path of empowerment and live with passion and purpose.

Here’s 10 steps in the right direction :

1. Know your purpose – what is your life’s mission ? Knowing this will give you clarity and focus

2. Be decisive – make decisions and trust your intuition, when you delay in making decisions you give away your power

3. Hang out with empowered people – You are the combination of the five people you spend the most time with so choose wisely

4. Get in to action – take charge of your health  and exercise daily – anything to change your physiology  and get the endorphins flowing !

5. Invest in yourself , take time out every day just for you – read , meditate , listen to inspirational music , soak in a hot bath, be a human BEING instead of a human DOING

6. TAKE ACTION – do it , do it right , do it right now !

7. Set Goals – dreams with dates on them , be specific, visualize your self achieving your goals , see what you see , feel what you feel , hear what you hear – make a movie in your mind and put yourself in the starring role

8. Have an attitude of gratitude – every morning when you wake up think of 3 things to be grateful for and write them down in your gratitude journal – the more times you say thank you the more things you  will find you have to say thank you for !

9. Be the change you want to see in the world – private victory proceeds public victory, change is an inside job and it starts with YOU

10. Nurture your spirit of adventure –  re visit your bucket list and choose one form it NOW and do it !  Join a Mountain High adventure or retreat.
