Making choices and sticking to them takes commitment. It is so easy to doubt ourselves and talk ourselves out of choices as we listen to those old voices inside, telling us we can’t or we won’t. A great way to stick to our choices is to get accountability for them. An accountability buddy that weContinue reading “Choosing Accountability”

What if my choice impacts you?
Sometimes the choices we make will appear to impact other people in a way we are uncomfortable with; indeed our fear of upsetting them can prevent us from making the choice at all. When we remember that it is their choice how it impacts them, we give ourselves permission to make choices without that burden.Continue reading “What if my choice impacts you?”
Your focus – your choice
Is your glass half full or half empty? Mine is overflowing! I choose to focus on the positive aspects of my life and this allows me to have a positive outlook. I am not in denial about the challenges I face, I just make a choice that they will not be my focus. Am IContinue reading “Your focus – your choice”
Choose YOU
Putting others first is a behaviour we are told is a positive one from a very early age. Learning to share, and to give the best bit of cake at tea to your visitors was seen as good manners in my house. Choosing to give up our seat on the bus to someone in greaterContinue reading “Choose YOU”
Choose it or lose it!

I choose to set big dreams for myself, with lots of little day-dreams along the way to mark achievement and points of interest along the route.

“I said I would do it so I’m doing it” my friend told me as I helped her with the blisters on her feet at the weekend. She has been training for a 10K run for charity and her feet are a wreck! She is a determined lady; someone who is proud of making toughContinue reading “Are your choices good for you?”

Saturday Choices
Saturdays are always about choices for me. Will I relax and recover, physically, from my week, or will I get those “little jobs” done. You know the ones, the housework and laundry, the windows that haven’t been cleaned in an age, the car that could do with a good wash. What choice will I make,Continue reading “Saturday Choices”
Choice is a habit
Habits are repeated behaviours that have become part of our routine, we do them on auto-pilot, sub-consciously or semi-consciously.
