OFF STAGE with Lisa O'Neill

Rest is so good for us and we know this but we don't do it.Imagine if you could have rest as a normal state and not something that you do as a little extra? Rest is so good for us and we know this but we don't do it.

I think the whole world should take a week off in June and just rest and restore. It's the perfect time of year just eating soup and rolling around in a blanket.

The only permission you need is permission from yourself. It's one of the greatest ways to shift our state.

Some of us have a weird relationship with our body, not very connected. It's a good practice to get into, in gratitude, connection, and gratefulness.

Lucky Girl Syndrome is about looking for luck in every moment and playing the glad game. Being glad and being lucky are the best ways to live—so take a moment to reflect on how fortunate you really are.

If this week was a moving truck, you can't shut the door. It is so full. But because I already have written down everything I've got to do, it doesn't feel quite as mental.

Be kind. Don't be nice. Nice is polite and contained. Kindness is real and transformative.

Exhaustion is not a bad thing. There's good exhaustion and bad exhaustion. Good exhaustion is when you're pooped but chuffed—spent but proud.

I'm a really big fan of dressing well, of people turning up and honouring the people that are present. Stand up, dress up, show up.

There are three rules of playing the game of life that are super important: Get to know yourself, get to like yourself, and get to be yourself. They're big jobs, and no one else can do it but you.

It's been a bit crazy and I'm about to start another crazy week. If you've got a lot going on, look after yourself. Your energy is a decision.

Positive beliefs are great, but are they actually useful? There are five beliefs that keep me going in my life: Everything happens for me, I'll always be okay, I'm guided, I can do what I want, and I'm an endless source of energy and love.They help keep my energy in order, and they are the most useful things.

I arrived back from China to a really busy week! It got me thinking about my reset and how I need to be super gentle to my physical self.

We think everyone's got it together... and you know what? They don't. None of us have our shit together... and that's okay. You're not weird, and you're not the only person in the world who hasn't got it together.

Travel is such a privilege. You learn so much about yourself when you travel, you learn about other people, you learn about other cultures. Where you'd most like to go to? Who would you have to go with and what would you like to do?

I tried to take a holiday, but the universe had other plans. I'm glad I had the time off because I don't know how I would have done normal life with things sneaking in and out of my door.

Our worries create a heavy vibration in our energy field, and we get heavy. You can feel people that are worried.

When you do nothing, all kinds of shit bubble up. When was the last time you had no plans? Block out space and plan nothing—just see what happens.

Today I'm thinking about my grandad and what those absolute warriors went through. Makes me realise we've got some fucking good problems.

Slow is my new thing. I'm in a space where I just want to go a bit slower. It's really interesting when you start to notice all the shit you do just because it's what you do.

Post-Easter week is packed! We've got exciting Energy Club content, a new masterclass called the Expert Accelerator program, mentoring sessions, China trip, and more!

Easter is my reset button. Four months into the year is the ideal time to pause, recalibrate, and lean into whatever energy serves us best—whether that's having fun with comedy and games, indulging in yummy treats, prioritising deep relaxation, embracing creativity, or connecting with nature.The Energy Club is for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their energy.

I've made a little vow to myself that I'm going to do more connecting with sacred spaces, especially with water. If you were a body of water, what would you be? Are you a calm lake? A dangerous sea? A busy river?

I'm so proud of my friends, I love them, I've got clever friends, I've got funny friends. I love to gather friends who don't know each other. I hope you've got a lovely friend that you can celebrate this week.

I love the idea of dopamine decor—surrounding yourself with beautiful things. As William Morris once said, 'Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

I was raised to believe that the busier you were, the better you were or the more important you were. That's not true. It's a trick.Busy is a choice. Stress is a choice. Joy is a choice. Choose well.

It's emotionally exhausting running around hoping that people are going to meet your standards. Do you want to continue to be disappointed or lower your standards and let it go?

Checking in with other people is very caring, but not if it's at the expense of you. Have a think about your currency of care. How much do you care? Do you care enough about yourself?

Can you disappoint another in order to be true to yourself? How often do you disappoint yourself because you have been trained into doing what everyone else wants?

If you think you're old, you're not. If you think you're running out of time, you're not. We've got more time than ever because we've got less to do. Stay constantly curious.

Go out and be very empowered this week. Walk around every day like the day was designed for you. Like it's your ideal day. Like the world just wants you here.

Just wrapped up our final energy festival in the gorgeous Wairarapa—dancing on lawns, meditating under trees, and celebrating brave souls who showed up solo (which I totally admire). Had a classic Lisa moment booking a rental car in Scotland instead of New Zealand (ADHD strikes again!), turning a simple trip into a five-hour adventure. Now I'm off to Melbourne for International Women's Day (please, no more cupcakes—give us equal pay!), then prepping for Shanghai in May. The energy festivals are done, but Energy Club is about to go next level! Come join us for exclusive content at just $25 a month if you're craving more of this beautiful chaos. x

We often talk about what goes into our bodies and we're conscious of our physical diet, but I don't think enough of us are conscious of a head diet or a mind diet.

There is no point working hard, saving money just to die. The whole point of life is to enjoy it and have experiences. Every now and then, one must have a consolidation week where you just have to do the mercy of all the shit you haven't been doing.

We are not born new. We are born renewed, rested and restored from our previous battles, but scarred nonetheless.

My overachieving energy has turned into me constantly overdoing things. Perfectionism is an energy, and there's a fear there of not being good enough. Find joy in the mess. Embrace imperfection.

Relationships should be two way streets where you get and you give. If you're just giving all the time or you just become their problem bulletin board, find a way to pause them.The Energy Club is for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their energy.
