It’s February! Yes, it really is. January has passed and along with it go so many ‘best intentions’ and ‘new goals’ and ‘I really mean it this time’s; yes, the dreaded resolutions that are set, year after year, in some inane attempt to become someone else. It reminded me of this blog I wrote duringContinue reading “What’s your excuse?”

At any given moment – you can make the choice
I’ve always loved this quote. “At any given moment, you have the power to say ‘this is not how the story is going to end’”. It’s tough to see it sometimes, when you’re so deep into your own issues, your own problems and head-talk. It can be easier to say “there’s nothing I canContinue reading “At any given moment – you can make the choice”
Making new choices
My husband John and I have been married for a quarter of a century next April – and this July we celebrated 29 years since our first date; and yes, the time has flown by. We have grown-up and taken an amazing adventure together (we first met when I was 16 and John 17)Continue reading “Making new choices”
Choose positive language
Create a positive message not a melodrama As I looked at my Facebook timeline today, I was so disappointed to see how many people are posting messages with negative rather than positive language. They include a commonly used sentence on these posts now “I know 99% of you won’t re-post this….” What a strange choiceContinue reading “Choose positive language”
Choose not to “Try”
“I’ll try” – what do you really mean when you say these words? “I probably won’t” or “I’m sure I won’t be able to”? That’s a choice. A choice you make regularly and without thinking. “I’ll try to stick to it this time” becomes your mantra and your choice to accept failure, beforeContinue reading “Choose not to “Try””
Choose to take control
How often do you find yourself lying awake at night, or waking in the early hours, dwelling on something that’s worrying you? Going over and over in your head all the options and possible outcomes, seeing blocks and obstacles in your path. This is a choice. The issue may be a very real one, butContinue reading “Choose to take control”
Choose not to fall
I loved this video from Daniel Ilabaca speaking about parkour and how it allowed him to see his choices and the power he had to embrace them. Embracing our choices and taking responsibility for where they can lead us is demonstrated beautifully. Enjoy.
Pick a choice between one and ten….
Have you got a list of choices? Choices you’ve been planning to make for a while now; perhaps a long while? Sometimes it can feel overwhelming – and not knowing where to start can result in not starting at all. Those choices go un-made or ignored, the progress is stalled or the inevitable is delayed.Continue reading “Pick a choice between one and ten….”
Now that’s my kind of choice!
It is important to remember that choices can be fun, light-hearted and a joy to make. I started my day with my usual choice – Lavazza Rossa or Lavazza extra creamy? That’s my kind of choice! 😉 The second big choice of my day landed in my lap as I sat with my coffee toContinue reading “Now that’s my kind of choice!”
Choose to play
My morning has been full-on today! Starting as always with #thebreakfastclub at 6.45am on Twitter which was promptly followed by two client sessions and a trip to the shops before my next client at 11.15. It could seem overwhelming – but I still choose time for play. Time to play with a ball (inside today)Continue reading “Choose to play”
