Stress less
It’s an ‘in the moment’ time. We all have days that don’t quite go to plan. Perhaps, like me, you’re having a day where you just can’t quite get clear on something and it’s starting to frustrate you. Top Tip – Stress Less Instead of getting stressed about it just take a few deep breaths,…
Read MoreSelfcare – Good Health to You
There’s nothing quite like a night of constant coughing to remind us of the value of good health is there? I wrote the draft for this post at 3am before Christmas, unable to sleep for yet another night. I can only sum up time spent with a cold as being incredibly tedious. Normally I would…
Read MoreIsn’t life strange? Vision Board Update
Well it just goes to show that Vision Boards have an impact, though maybe not in the way that we are expecting. On Sunday we had friends visiting and Rebecca had seen my posts about Vision Boards and asked me to show her. So I took her through to the coaching room to show her…
Read MoreWhen did you last give someone a good listening to?
Yesterday my to-do list went out the window. I’d planned the things I was going to get done by the close of play and I achieved less than half. Normally that would be seen to be a failure by many but I’ve been reflecting on it today and I think it was a huge success.…
Read MoreLet’s be contented!
I feel rather uncomfortable putting this out there but I’m trusting you to be gentle with me! You see I don’t have ‘grand’ or ‘noble’ goals and dreams. I don’t have a ‘big’ story. For some time now this has felt like a problem for me as all Life Coaches I’ve come across seem to…
Read MoreRock of Ages – Rock Your Life
Last night I went to see the wonderful show ‘Rock of Ages’ at Milton Keynes Theatre for a friend’s birthday. What a treat! What a show. So many shows are based around true life stories, especially the musicals, and we often relate music to different periods of our life. Listening to a particular track can…
Read MoreWord for the Year
As we welcomed 2014 into being I thought my word for the year was going to be ‘Healthy’. Word for the year? It’s a concept my friend Bekka introduced me to. Rather than setting a resolution or a goal you pick a word that you want to sum up the year ahead. It’s worked well…
Read MoreBeing a Specialist v Jack of all Trades
I’ve been triggered to write this post by the John Lewis advert for House Insurance. ‘Ridiculous’ was my first response and then I remembered that I’d thought the same when I heard about Sainsburys Bank. I’ve been thinking about this for a little while before writing as in my employed world I was always a…
Read MoreI Procrastinate
Really? I hear this comment a lot and I’m often seeing people posting on facebook and Twitter that they are procrastinating a lot today. My first response is to query that. I think it is often easy to label our behaviour like this rather than admit to ourselves what is really going on. What does…
Read MoreThe Importance of Self Care
If you know me well, or if you’ve worked with me, you’ll know this is something I’m particularly keen on. Looking after yourself is the single most important thing you can do in this life. If you aren’t in good condition you won’t be in a fit state to look after anyone else or to…
