According to a press release by a mental health charity, the formula is as follows; Where weather =W, debt = d, time since Christmas = T, time since failing our new year’s resolutions = …
A Passport, could be the perfect present.
There is something deeply satisfying in giving a gift voucher to someone who never treats themselves. So many of my friends this year have said that they would love to spoil themselves , do something like have a facial, join a club or learn a new skill. It never happens because they do not know how to make the time …
My Life is a Nightmare.
As I reach into my bag to retrieve the ringing phone, I realize it’s not mine. Holding it out at arms length, like a dirty sock, I ask if anyone owns it? Not really waiting for a response, I am hit by another thought, of where is my phone and whose bag am I carrying? The still ringing phone is …

From Rabbits to Roosters, My Resolutions Reframed

Fearless Humans or Gods at the 2018 Olympics?
What would Zeus think? Just picture the God of Gods, looking down from his cloud, floating just above Mount Olympus, watching the end of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Wondering what all the fireworks are actually for? All the medals of gold, silver and bronze, glinting in the sunlight. The very silly humans that thought they could win by lying and …
Mum’s Gap Year.
The night before I travel anywhere it is always the same. That sense of relief when you haven’t slept properly because you are waiting for the alarm to go off and finally it does. Feeling like I have done 5 rounds with Nicola Adams, I have the puffy eyes to prove it. My day starts, kettle on for a …

Last week I was working with a team of individuals within a company, to firstly tune into what motivates them and secondly to enable them to communicate more effectively with each other.
