Audrey’s Theme

Today’s blog was inspired by Audrey Birt.  Audrey shared her theme tune for the week on my last Monday blog, and it is wonderful   It reminded me of some of the choices I have made; to do it all – someday. This sentiment connected with me in a powerful way. It’s not about putting offContinueContinue reading “Audrey’s Theme”

Celebrating Choice

Choices are often tiny little decisions in our lives that seem, at the time, insignificant or unimportant.  It is often only once the actions of our choices have been played out that we see how important a choice truly was.  Today, I’m celebrating the choices that lead to this moment – right where I amContinueContinue reading “Celebrating Choice”

Choose your view

In Monday’s blog I suggested you choose your theme tune for the week – a piece of music that helps set your mood.  Today, I would like you to add something visual to the mix.  Choose an image that helps you focus on a dream or a goal, something that connects you with a choiceContinueContinue reading “Choose your view”

Today I choose to be….

Today I choose to be positive and up-beat.  Today I choose to see the best in everyone in my life and allow them their moment in the spotlight.  Today I choose to love my life and be grateful for every moment – even the difficult ones.  Today I make my own choices about my attitude,ContinueContinue reading “Today I choose to be….”

Choose to learn

When did you last learn something new?  Not just a new idea that you overheard in good conversation, but real learning of a new skill or learning how to become great at something you’re good at?  This week, I am choosing to spend two days on a Social Media programme – learning new skills andContinueContinue reading “Choose to learn”

Choose to enjoy your four day week

We just had a lovely long weekend in the UK.  Fabulously relaxing and four days of time for ourselves.  Feeling refreshed?  This time, choose to continue with that feeling; rather than returning to work today and fretting about how much you now have to do in a four day week – enjoy it.  Allow allContinueContinue reading “Choose to enjoy your four day week”

Choose less – enjoy more

I felt slighlty sick as I watched the trolleys in my local supermarket yesterday; had someone forgotten to tell me of some major crisis?  Had I missed my chance to supply my family by not grabbing every last morsel off the shelves?  Would we be destined to starve?  Luckily, it was simply the long weekendContinueContinue reading “Choose less – enjoy more”

Choose a positive “NO”

Saying “no” to people can feel uncomfortable – or even impossible, largely because we see it as a negative response.  We can choose to see it as a positive when we look at it from a different perspective.  It is a choice and one we can make more easily when we understand that a “no” canContinueContinue reading “Choose a positive “NO””

Choosing Accountability

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 weContinueContinue 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.ContinueContinue reading “What if my choice impacts you?”
