31/08/22 A Much Needed Break

©2021 wytchwynd photography

Hi everyone I have to admit that following the last couple of years we (Alison and I) are very much in need of a proper holiday and as such we, and a friend, are taking a couple of week's away.  This means a break from the internet as much as anything else and doing things and visiting places just for US!

I know this probably sounds mega selfish but when you consider that during that time Alison had suffered a particularly painful hip problem that eventually resulted in her having to give up work and (ultimately) have an operation to replace said hip followed by the recuperation process.  As a result 2 years is a very long time without a proper break.

That said, please be assured that the break is only temporary and the regular posts will return on or about the 21st September at which time I will look forward to seeing you again.

In the meantime there may be a few random short posts just to keep things from stagnating completely - but I cannot say that will definitely be the case.

So I look forward to catching up with you when I return in a couple of weeks or so.

Best

Preparation For Life’s Journey

    Preparation For

    Life's Journey

 

Hi it's DAve 

Having just completed the recent project of tips and hints I thought that it might be useful to take a slight change of direction and look at a new topic.

That said this week I am going to provide a few pointers towards helping your child through the transition towards independence as they move forwards on their life’s journey.

So the object of this post is to provide information that is designed to help create a good foundation (in life) for our children as they prepare to move into the next stage of their developing lives.   It is my opinion that there at least 20 basic skills that every young person (irrespective of how they identify) needs before they begin their adventures in the "big wide world".

So here they are:-

1    how to use a map 

2    how to swim

3    the value of money and how to use it wisely

4    cleaning the home

5    how to be organised

6    how to use a washing machine / iron etc.

7    ways to find a job

8.   dealing with and overcoming failure

9.   standing up for yourself

10  time Management

11  being a self-starter 

12  financial management

13  cookery skills

14  road usage / driving safely

15  car maintenance (or where to get help)

16  summoning the Emergency Services

17  crisis advice / management

18  saving and financial management

19  coping with difficulty

20  the Citizen’s Advice service

Heading out into the world can be a great adventure but (without proper training and guidance) it can also be the source of many traps and dangers.  

As parents, we owe it to our children to provide them with the best possible preparations for the great adventure they are about to begin. 

It is our duty to ensure that by the time our offspring are ready to begin this new phase of their lives (the great adventure) they are responsible, respectful, caring and capable adults.

Redesign Your Life (Part 7) - "The Final Conclusion!"

 Redesign Your Life (Part 7) - "The Final Conclusion!"

Hi and thank you for joining me for the final post in this series "The Final Conclusion!"

Forget the past - it seems that the past can be one of the biggest obstacles we encounter in our lives.  It can really hinder our progress towards getting what we want, and it can affect our thinking because it leads us into worrying about repeating previous mistakes.

However, once you recognise and accept that the past has been having this effect on you and has been affecting your actions in the present you are able to make a conscious decision that you are going to act differently as you move forwards.

Stop reacting instantly to situations that present themselves and really think about how the kind of person you want to become would act in the same situation!

I would really like to congratulate you for getting this far, for staying the course.  

It has been great presenting this group of ideas that are designed to help you become the person you want to be instead of the person you were 7 weeks ago.

If you have found the subject interesting and you know others who could benefit from these short but powerful lessons then please point them in the right direction.

It is possible that a video containing all of the 7 steps will be available in the coming months and if you would like to reserve a copy please email me and I will keep you updated as to its' progress. 

Create the life you deserve because you really do DESERVE IT!

Visions For Success 41 "Deeper Into Responsibillity"

       Visions 

       For 

       Success

There are clearly areas in all our lives where we need to accept responsibility and there are others where we do not have to accept it.  So let us take a look at a few examples in the hope that these help to clarify the position.

These Are NOT My Responsibility

Other People's Words                                  Other People's Ideas

Other People's Beliefs                                             Other People's Behaviour

Other People's Mistakes                                         Other People's Actions

The consequences of other people's actions.

These Are My Responsibility

My Words                                                                My Efforts

My Behaviour                                                          My Mistakes

My Actions                                                               My Ideas

The consequences of my actions.

I hope that this proves both interesting and useful.

If you would like to discuss any of the points raised you can reach out to me by sending an email to devonlifecoach@mail.com

I hope that you have a truly great day and I will see you again very soon

Love + Light
