This has come a lot in recent conversation and always takes me back to a session in my training so I thought it might be useful…

I was going to… but…
… I am really busy
… I don’t think it will go down well with
… I don’t think I can
… I don’t know how
… I am scared.

But is a great word for building barriers. We are all fantastic at coming up with excuses without really thinking about what it is that we don’t want to do or why.

However,

I was going to… and…
… I have time this afternoon. It won’t take me long
… I am interested to see how they respond
… I will have a go
… I can find out how from…
… it is a bit scary and that’s ok.

But is a barrier. And opens a gate. You choose whether you want to walk through the gate or what is really stopping you.

If you change one small word, if can change your approach to allsorts of challenges. Try it. Let me know how it goes.

Once a year, I drag myself out of bed at stupid o’clock. I spend the weekend in a tent (very un-me kind of activity). and I moan like a trooper in the lead up to the weekend. And…

I spend the weekend with an amazing group of people.

I laugh at the most ridiculous things.

I dance and sing at the top of my voice.

This morning, we were rewarded with the most beautiful sunrise.

Somethings are worth a little bit of discomfort for the joy they bring.

I have recently been working with the very talented Rachel Baillie-Pine to give my website a bit of a refresh.

It is important to me that the webiste feels like me… and Rachel is so good at reflecting the essence of what it is like to work with me because she has been there.

If you have worked with me and fancy a look, please do let me know your thoughts and if it reflects your experience.

If you haven’t worked with me and are curious about what it might be like pop yourself over… there’s no charge for looking, in fact there’s no charge for getting in touch and having a chat about what coaching might do for you.

Hot weather doesn’t just affect us physically, it can also have a real impact on how we think, feel and cope with everyday life.

You may nottice you’re feeling:

  • less patient than ususal
  • more tired or overwhelmed
  • finding it harder to concentrate
  • more emotional or irritable

Sometimes, all we need is permission to slow down.

Take a break. Drink plenty of water, Rest when you need to. Let fo of the pressure to be constantly productive.

And if you’re finding that life feels overwhelming, not just because of the heat, but because of everything you’re carrying, you don’t hvae to navigate it on your own.

Life coaching can provide space to pause, reflect and regain clarity, helping you move forward with renewed confidence and purpose.

Be kind to yourself. Your wellbeing matters, whatever the weather.

This time of year often brings significant change… exams are over, university courses are finishing, school years are ending and new chapters are about to being.

Even positive changes can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next. That’s completely normal. Every transition requires time, space and a little self-compassion as we adjust to a new reality.

Remember, you don’t have to have all the answers straight away.

If you’re feeling stuck, lost or simply need some support navigating your next steps, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence and purpose.

Every ending is also the start of something new.

It has been a busy 10 days, full of joy, happiness, celebrations and special memories, celebrating the 30th birthday of my twin boys followed by the marriage of one of them.

Getting back to routine after such a momentous time came feel a bit sad, and a bit flat, but what if we choose to sit with those feelings for a moment…

How refreshing is time away from the daily grind ☺

What joyous memories we have created 🙂

What amazing things lie ahead 😀

Big life events can take over for a while and we might be left feeling a little adrift. If you need help finding your focus, let me know. It’s good to talk.

How many times have you made a New Year’s Resolution?

How many times have you made the same resolution?

How many resolutions have you kept to?

Why didn’t they stick?

What if you could focus on something that was important to you… understand why it was important… understand what was getting in your way… and make a sustainable change?

What if you had a coach to walk beside you… to help you understand what is holding you back… to find the best way forward for you… to be your sounding board… to be your cheerleader…

What change would you make?
