This month my focus is on self-care. But what the heck is self-care anyway I hear you cry? Self-care is often regarded as being selfish – looking after yourself first and not attending to the needs of others. Putting other people first is polite and appropriate at times. Pouring them the first drink, offering them a …
We all need to sleep. Sleep gives your body the time and ability to rest, repair, grow and support your natural biorhythms. After a good night’s sleep we will feel relaxed and energised – who doesn’t want that! For our bodies to repair and grow, within a 24 hour period a certain number of hours …
When you worry people will often say to you “don’t worry” or “stop worrying, it doesn’t help” or “worrying doesn’t change anything so just think about something else”.

April is National Stress Awareness month. A month when we are encouraged to look at how stress is affecting our work and family life and look at what we can do about reducing it. When I was asked to take part in a radio show to talk about my business, I jumped at the chance …
Are you stuck on a not-so-merry-go-round of saying ‘Yes’ to requests? Does being seen as the go-to person excite you and get you more requests? Do you sometimes feel stressed but push through to fulfil your commitment? I said ‘yes’ to too many things to help other people, and when I couldn’t get them all …
