Are you over complicating things?

Are you over complicating things? It’s worth noting here that I’m a whizz at doing this, so you’re not alone by any stretch. BUT it is something I’ve been actively working on, over the last couple of years particularly. When it comes to being...
Planning Wins

Planning Wins

Why Would You Want To Plan?

Why Would You Want To Plan?

It’s a common question. Some people simply don’t understand the whole planning obsession and I get that. For a long time, I didn’t feel like I planned much. As my life and business has changed I find myself planning more and more, for a range of...

What Do You Want To Focus On?

What Do You Want To Focus On?

It sounds ridiculously simple, but it’s easy to miss. When you want to get anything substantial done for you or your business, you need to start with what you want to happen. You can’t possibly know what you tasks are most important if you don’t know how each one will...
Monkey Mind and Tattoos

Monkey Mind and Tattoos

That dastardly Monkey Mind can be a naughty little sausage. I’ve certainly had my fair share of ‘Monkey Moments’ in the last week, so it’s apt that this week my focus is on this topic. Just over a week ago I ventured down to see my friend Kym in Leigh-on-Sea for a...

Planning For The Unexpected

I wasn’t going to be writing about this today but let’s just say that life has a way of sweeping you along sometimes and this feels fitting right now. It’s super easy to float through a period of time and have the usual ‘stuff’ happening but nothing too dramatic,...

Change Your Life With Gratitude

How do you feel about your life and business right now? Are you filled with positive thoughts… or do a few negatives pop in to your brain front and centre? If you’d have told me 10 years ago that writing down what you’re grateful for could dramatically change my...

Endings, Beginnings & Being The ‘Hollow Bone’

Endings, Beginnings & Being The ‘Hollow Bone’

A bit of a deep one for you today 😉 Life is full of endings and new beginnings, so much so that we hardly even notice many of them most of the time. Some on the other hand, jump out at us and sweep us off our feet. In reality the same experience is happening, but we...

Goals & Resolutions

Goals & Resolutions

It’s that time of year again… time to set some resolutions… or do you want to set some goals instead? What’s the difference? A resolution tends to feel a bit loose for me. You know I love a little more to get my teeth into when it comes to setting objectives for the...
If At First You Don’t Succeed…

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

…perhaps cake is in order!? Don’t be daft, cake is ALWAYS in order 😉 Seriously though, I know that you might be looking back at 2017 and listing off in your head all the things that you didn’t get done, didn’t try, didn’t do etc. This happens to us all, despite the...
