Monday Morning Blues?

Monday Morning Blues? It's the first Monday after half term - Did you wake up this morning thinking 'Ugh its Monday' - Back to work, back on the treadmill, the same old routine, that grindstone that is my life......Oh I wish my  life was different?

How would it feel to have woken up and said - Wow its Monday, I love my life, I am so happy to be doing what I do, being the best me that I can be, I can't wait to get started again today.......

What is IT that would make you look forward to each  and every Monday morning? 

Would you  love to know? Do you want to explore what  IT is for you?

What holds you back from making changes right now? What one thing could you do today that would make a difference to your day, your week, your month, your life?

What if your inner gremlin stopped saying "No you can't possibly.....No that's not for you, only other people do jobs they love.....Its just a pipe dream I once had from my childhood, it could never be a reality...... I am not good enough.......qualified enough.........ready"?

What if your inner gremlin became your inner coach, guide and champion and started saying things like "You can you know, if you really want to.....Yes you could if you gave it a go.......yes I could with the right help and support it really would be possible.......Yes I  want to explore what I can do today to identify what it is I really want .....Lets not worry about the how so much and really focus on what we DO want instead of what we DON'T want".

Wow how would that change your state of  mind, and open up those possibilities. Dreams really are just a goal with a deadline. Life is meant to be happy and fun. If you need some help and support to identify how you can fall in love with your life, I would love to hear from you.

I have 3 spaces available this week for a - How to Fall In Love With Your Life 60 minute complimentary call. 

On this call, we will explore what your big dreams are, what holds you back, and what you can do next to make a plan to love the life you live. Email me  or book your appointment directly  here.

What does Life Purpose mean to you?

This morning I was inspired by a Tony Robbins recording about Life Purpose. I used to struggle to define my life purpose because I was always linking it to a specific role or job. In reality though Tony has helped me understand that  your life purpose is not really a job as such like being a Doctor, or Coach. Your purpose is a decision you make about the way you chose to live your life. It's that thing that helps you find fulfilment and certainty. It is your very own reason for living and its unique to you and you alone.

On my own coaching journey started back in 2011 - I was at such a point of confusion in my life I didn't feel able to answer the fundamental question "What brings you joy". My coach  gave me an exercise to do to help me answer that question and in doing so help define my purpose. 

When I first did the exercise I was still a little disappointed as it didn't give me an answer to the question I thought I wanted to answer at that time which was all about what kind of job I should be doing that would make me happy. In reality the answer I gave back in 2011 makes so much more sense now. 

I am so excited to share with you all now that my purpose really is to inspire others. To let you know that you can make a choice to let go of worry, anxiety, stress and confusion at any point, where ever you are on your journey. Once you discover your purpose you can apply that purpose to whatever it is that lets you achieve that way of being.

If your purpose is to live a joyful and happy life, helping others and you focus on that you will then see and take or create the opportunities to live that way of life. If you are looking for joy - you will find it in everything you do. It is about your state of mind and your ability to chose what you focus on. The picture at the top of this blog was taken by my local river. I walk the river often because I love it but that particular day the sunlight through the trees and the reflection in the water stopped me in my tracks and really made me feel so joyful I wanted to capture it. 

Today my day started unusually early at 5am as my 5 month old puppy was very ill. I willingly got up to care for him, and clean up because he gives me joy. Being awake (and joyfully so) early also gave me the opportunity to listen to Tony Robbins and then be inspired to write,

If you too would like some help with your Life Purpose why not try out the same exercise by clicking on the link below. If you would like to find out more about your purpose, why not connect with me on one of my  complementary 'How to Live a Life you Love' 60 minute sessions. You can find our more here.

Do you perform at your best in your pyjamas! I do......

I ask myself what is it I love the best about being self employed and living my dream life over here in SW France? 

Just one of the many amazing things is all the extra time I have available now I don’t have to use it getting suited and booted, and commuting to London on the train, or that 60 mile trip from Basingstoke to Wimborne in the car as I did for many years in the Corporate world!

I am so grateful to have allowed myself and created the freedom to get out of bed and get straight to work at the other end of the barn I live in, still in my PJs if that’s what I chose to do. It is so liberating. Historically there would have been that nagging voice in the back of my head which said “How lazy are you - you should get yourself dressed – how can you be expected to do your best in your PJs!

Not anymore! I now recognise when that that little voice in my head is being helpful and when it’s just running a script based on old conditioning that no longer serves me. I celebrate the fact that I do my best work when I am not restricted by the time of the day,  what clothes I am wearing, or even the environment in which I am choosing to work.

Take this morning for example, I really wanted to do some reading around a specific topic before I called my coaching client for her 9am session. I got so wrapped up in it all, the time flew past and I made the call via skype still in my dressing gown!

What a fabulous call it was too, my client has achieved great things since our last call, and I just love being part of such exciting transformations. Did it matter I was not wearing my stuffy and restricting corporate suit with my really uncomfortable court shoes on, already tired and worn out by a 2 hour commute to work – No just the opposite, I was feeling awake, alive, excited to be there holding the space to serve my client without any distractions. When the sun is shining I often chose to work by the pool in the garden in my swimsuit instead! It makes my heart sing to just be free to choose.

If you would like to connect with me to explore what difference working in your PJs via a skype call can make to your life I am excited to share that I have 3 x 60 minute ‘How to Live a Life you Love’ sessions available during November. Email me, or go to this page on my website.
