Hi and thank you for joining me here on what is to be the final post of 2022.

I have to report that in general 2022 was a good year for yours truly although not without it's ups and downs.

We spent a few weekends at the caravan, had a fantastic holiday in Cornwall.  Spent time with good friends, made some new friends and sadly lost one or two old ones.

Alison ordered her new hybrid car, has healed from her operation back in January and is now back to fine health, working in a general shop and thoroughly loving it. 

Working on her own account has seen Dawn go from strength to strength, she has grown her confidence,  the jewellery / gift business has done well and her childcare business is proving extremely busy.  Earlier in the year she ordered her new full electric car and is now eagerly awaiting delivery.

I changed my white PHEV for a metallic grey version and I absolutely love it!  I have not had many commercial photo gigs this year mainly because the paper I freelanced for was taken over (and now appears to have been closed completely) plus the situation with Alison's mobility didn't help, but I am hoping that the photo opportunities will come again in 2023.  

The year also proved to be fairly static on the coaching / personal development front and this is something I intend to address early in the New Year.  The website will be updated and there will be something of a marketing "push" taking place!

So all in all a very busy year is closing and I am quietly confident that 2023 will prove to be much busier for us all.

And with that said I would like to thank you for your support and wish everyone of you and your respective families a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2023.

Taking Stock (Holding A Personal Review)

TAKING STOCK

(Holding A Personal Review)

So here we are at the beginning of 2021 and I have to say that during my life thus far, I have never experienced such upheaval, upset and confusion!  I would like to say that there is a "simple way" out of this but at present the way things are being handled I am not sure that there is! 

I would love to be able to say that I am able to provide a solution to the whole situation in which everyone is finding themselves, but the truth is I cannot! 

However, what I can do is provide a few ideas and suggestions about the ways we can make lifestyle improvements that will help us to work towards making our lives more focused and as a result, hopefully more pleasant and meaningful.

So let us take a few moments, before we go any further,  and recognise that it is time to take stock of where we are right now.   To do this effectively please take the time to ask yourself the following few questions:-

1. What three things have gone well for me in the past six months and why?

a, what am I grateful for?

b, what have I done and been successful at?

c, what type of thinking has created positive results in my life?

2. What three things could I do differently from what I am doing now that will make a positive impact on my life during the next six months?

Think about things that might stop you or will get in your way. How would you deal with them?

3. If I could create three definitely achievable goals for 2021 what would they be?

Identify the milestones that you will have to reach every month to achieve those goals?

Decide how you could celebrate both the weekly results as well as monthly results?

Now, Looking back over the last couple of months answer these questions

Am I surrounding myself with people who inspire and stimulate me?

What do I want to be different in 2021 when compared to 2020?

Where do I need to grow and what action must I take to ensure that growth happens?

What are the thoughts and feelings that sabotage me and how can I create a new internal soundtrack for my life?

What new habits can I create on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to support my progress?

Remember that coaching is always about working on your life and not reacting to events.  Because of this it is also important to ask yourself the following questions on regular basis:-

Am I OK?

What do I need?

What is working for me?

What isn't working for me?

Am I on track?

Where do I need to grow?

What actions do I need to take?

And finally! 

If I only focused on things I can control, what three things would I concentrate on (during the next six months) that would dramatically improve my self care?

So my friends, as you may already know, I work with people, helping them to create a life that works and if you feel that you would benefit from a few Personal Development sessions please feel free to contact me for a "wee chat".

oooOOOooo

Business Developer / Coach Emma Kersey said this about the 2018 Workbook

"Sorry I didn't get round to fully utilizing the e-book but please know that just reading it helped massively........... just needed a push and the book did that so thank you"
