On the Move ...

Well, life seems to be suddenly on the move again! I am currently looking at getting a new office, having been working from home for many years . One of the major changes since returning from New Zealand, has been the realisation that I do want to be where I currently am - and that I am not going to focus on the things that aren't working, but concentrate on developing the things that are.


This probably doesn't sound very radical but the past year or two have been spent feeling restless and unsure about whether to move, and also exactly what work I want to be doing. I am now sure that I am going to stay here, grow my Coaching practice and inspire others to develop their own unique style of living and working. So, one of the my goals is to get a nice new office to work from with a lovely ambiance, delightful surroundings and great people to work with.

This photo was taken by a photographer colleague, Lucy Barden, and I am delighted with the shot showing my brand new banner. I am using it at The Chartwell Club, which takes place every 2nd Wednesday of the month (see my website for more info) which is a forum to share experience, learn some personal development skills and have help in problem solving.

So, a final thought to ponder on as you enjoy whatever the end of April brings - what move could bring you closer to achieving your goals or achieving your dreams? Just something small maybe - a shift in perception, a conversation with someone, stopping doing something you know is no good for you, a starting something new ... Remember - Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change!

Change of mind?

How are you today? ........... Are you feeling happy, sad, exhausted, exhilarated, motivated, ennervated, just OK....? That first question is often asked as a conversation opener, a polite enquiry and we don't usually expect any depth of answer. And yet, we all feel a vast range of emotions a lot of the time, and they can change from minute to minute, hour to hour and day to day, with sometimes mind-boggling rapidity. And how often are we actually able to tell someone really how we feel and also know that they are really interested in our reply?

I've been pondering that today as I have gone through such a range of feelings over the past few hours, and the title of this Blog is taken as a result of a change of mind about the Blog. I had planned to write about the aftermath of coming back home from the New Zealand trip, and how it had thrown up more questions than I had expected. But I decided to just trust my intuition that exploring current feelings was the topic for today.

And so, I return to the original question... How are you today? No, really, how are you? Just ponder that one... and see what comes up for you. And what do those feelings tell you? And if you could change anything about how you feel today what would that be? And what could you do to encourage that change to become a real and lasting one?

Well, those are the thoughts for today. Happy musings!
