• Words of Wisdom Wednesday! So today's 'words of wisdom' are based on an experience I had today! About being mindful of how you explain things to people to prepare them for something, and the words that you use to do so! You see today I had to go for an x-ray, for my dodgy shoulder! I hadn't had anything to prep for it other than turn up at a set time for an x-ray. No letter, no instructions, nothing. So being told to strip off my top half as I was called through was a bit of a shock! I even asked if I could keep my bra on but nope not an option as it would apparently get in the way! But hey I had a super lovely hospital gown to wear so all good right?! Nope because I then spent the rest of my waiting time worrying about what undergoing an x-ray of my shoulder actually entailed. Would it be from the front, side and the back? Would I have to take off my gown and be exposed? Would I have to be adjusted?! Should I have requested a female operative/technician? Should I have had a chaperone?! As it turned out no was the answer to all of the above questions and it didn't turn out to be as daunting as I'd begun to think it would be. But ... I think it could have been handled just that little bit better to put me at my ease and it made me think about how I, and others, put the people we work with at ease when we're working with them. Or how all of us are with people when they're new to something, unsure or apprehensive about what they're about to do, or go through. Whereas it might be something we do everyday and we don't think twice about it, to others it's a completely different experience. So ... my Words of Wisdom today are to be mindful of how you prepare others, especially when it's something that perhaps could do with a bit of explaining. Be compassionate, be kind and be patient 🙏 . . . . . #wordsofwisdom #wordsofwisdomwednesday #bepatient #bekind #becompassionate #explaining #putintheeffort #withease #hospitalgown #bemindful #shoulderinjury #xray #beprepared #prepare #compassion #understanding #patience #mindfulness #awareness #beaware #empathy #compassionate #compassionateliving #shoulderissues #healingprocess

  • 'Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.' Bernhard Langer. It's a Tuesday! That special day of the week in my world, where I unleash more of my words of wisdom to my amazing Inner Circle. That place where the magic happens 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♂️ And today I am celebrating TWO whole years of sharing my words of wisdom in this way, having pivoted from my previous company's email when I ran Pangaea Fitness & Training! Yes it's been two whole years since I combined and brought together a whole lifetime's worth of experience, knowledge & learning under the same umbrella of Life & Business Coaching & Educating! All in the name of helping others to feel good about themselves, to achieve their dreams, embrace their uniqueness and, of course, live thriving, fulfilled lives. So ... last week I was open about my horrendous week! This week ... following on from my post yesterday I delve deeper into how being indecisive can have such a detrimental effect on your life. If you're in my Inner Circle already then please check your inboxes, spam, junk, this evening to see where, after its journey in cyber space, it landed! If you're not, and you want to experience the end result of an email's cyberspace journey 😘 then all that you need to do is to click on the link in my bio ➡️➡️➡️, confirm you're not a robot (yes seriously!) and yay, you’re in! Never to miss out again on an epic journey of such words of wisdom as those contained in this week's email! 😁 'Time doesn't wait. Indecision will only let opportunities slip by.Pick a path and walk confidently with your heart behind every step.'

  • Make It Happen Monday! At the end of my 30s, and the beginning of my 40s, I decided enough was enough! After a painful divorce and many years as a single mum, working 2 or 3 jobs at the same time and never seeming to make ends meet, or to be experiencing much happiness, I knew something had to change. I had to take back control of my life, start making things happen and get myself out of my Wilderness of Woe. I became decisive, I stopped being wishy washy with my life, I stopped settling with living a life as others and society expected me to do. I took back control and I made things happen. No not everything went according to plan but I learned a lot of lessons whichever way things turned out. Because I was being decisive, I was making decisions and not settling for less than I knew I could be. And that is what I strongly encourage you all to do, starting from today. Be decisive, take action and make things happen. And let me know how it goes! . . . . . #bedecisive #decisive #decisionmaker #beproactive #creatingalifeilove #divorcedwomen #singlemum #lookafteryourself #enoughisenough #takebackcontrol #makethingshappen #makeithappen #makeithappenmonday #stopsettling #doyou #beyou #takingbackmylife #takeaction #liveagreatlife #liveuptoyourpotential #movingforward #alwayslearning #lessonslearned #healingjourney #selfgrowthjourney

  • It's Father's Day here in the UK and I believe it's in many other places in the world as well. I hope that if you are still fortunate to have your father in your life that you get to celebrate with him and, if not, that you have some amazing memories that you can reflect back upon and smile. These are a few pictures of my father & I over the years, we've had our ups, downs and inbetweens but I've always known he's always done the best that he can for myself, my siblings and our families. We may not always agree on some things but we do agree on the importance of love, of kindness, of family and always being the best you that you can be. However that may be for you! . . . . . #fathersday #celebratingfathers #lovedones #fathersday2019 #fatherdaughter #daddysgirl #lovemydad #dadsareimportant #memories #specialtimes #creatingmemories #blessed #thankful #grateful #kindnessmatters #loveiskey #familyfirst #lovemyfamily💕 #fulfilledlife #blessedlife #familylove #bethebestyou #liveuptoyourpotential #thriving #dad #father #fatheranddaughter #family
