How To Slow Down and Enjoy Life During Busy Periods

As we start ramping up towards the busy, busy Christmas period, knowing how to slow down and enjoy life can be just the ticket!

If you’re anything like me, then right now you’re busy juggling to do lists consisting of gifts to buy and wrap, food to prepare, cards to write and send, a home to organise and decorate…all on top of your usual too-long-list of daily tasks! It’s enough to send anyone into a spiral of overwhelm!

If you’re always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you’re in? Slow down and enjoy the moment you’re in and live your life to the fullest
Nanette Mathews

To make matters worse, what’s the first thing that tends to drop off your usual routine when there seems to be too much going on? Self-care, fun and enjoyment anyone? [Read more…] about How To Slow Down and Enjoy Life During Busy Periods

Surround Yourself With People Who…

Surround Yourself With People Who…

Make a conscious effort to surround yourself, with positive, nourishing and uplifting people — people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories.
Jack Canfield

It’s not easy, is it? Surrounding ourselves with people who are positive, nourishing and uplifting can seem like a tall order, when, on a day-to-day basis, we come into contact with so many people. And, people being people, they all come with their own unique collection of personality traits, problems, issues, good moods and bad moods!

Additionally we contribute to the mix with our own innate view of life, the things that we’re dealing with our general happiness quotient and suddenly it can seem almost impossible to consciously create the ‘perfect’ set of people in our lives (whatever that means!).

But what if we were to view this quote in more practical terms and ask ourselves what are we really trying to achieve in our lives? [Read more…] about Surround Yourself With People Who…

How To Set Personal Boundaries

I think a lot of people struggle with setting personal boundaries.  Quite often we’re too afraid to offend and will shy away from that scary word…’No’!, and end up being involved in things which we’re not really that interested in.  We become overwhelmed and sometimes resentful, but in the end, it’s our decisions that have led us into a situation in which we feel uncomfortable.

But knowing how to set personal boundaries is a cornerstone of time management.  After all, how on earth can you expect to manage your time effectively if you’re unwilling to set boundaries around the things that are most important to you?

So, in the interests of achieving our goals and doing the things we want to do, here are three hints to set personal boundaries which will allow you to get on with your life without feeling guilty! [Read more…] about How To Set Personal Boundaries

Here’s my personal goals progress update for October 2017! You can check out my detailed list of 2017 Goals here. Writing publicly about my progress is one of the most effective methods of accountability I’ve found. Consequently, I’m aiming to produce a monthly update right through 2017.

Writing up my personal goals progress report is an important part of keeping me on track and accountable. It’s also a really useful method to review what is and isn’t working. Sometimes that will mean that some goals will change or be removed altogether. But the great thing is that these are my goals, so I can change them as often as I like! If you choose to write up or already have some personal goals then doing a regular review and write up is a great way to stay on track!

So here’s my October update… 🙂 [Read more…] about My Personal Goals Progress Update for October 2017
