Setting goals, coaching, positivity
Making Happy Work by Mick Timpson landed on my doorstep at probably the most appropriate time. This year has started very differently to most. I hadn’t set goals, I hadn’t done a review of last year and to be honest, I have been totally overwhelmed by my “to do list”....
Like many women, I have spent most of my adult life on some kind of diet. If you can name a diet, I have probably tried it. However, the one belief I have always held is that if chocolate did not exist, I would have no weight problem. My love...
We are all guilty of it. Taking things personally. We read something on social media and think it’s aimed at us or when the comment is aimed at us, we worry that everyone else feels the same as that person. A few years ago, I read a book called “The...
Visualising Success – really? Now before you think “Oh Debs is being a dippy hippy now and that is not my thing”, don’t move on. I promise you that visualising your success can really help. When I first heard about Vision Boards (aka Dream boards), I thought “oh that’s nice...

Today is World Kindness Day. I have to be honest, as a I type this, I am not feeling “kind” towards quite a few people. So I wanted to talk about how you change that mindset, so you are not just giving all your time and energy to the negative...
It’s Monday Motivation time again. This week I want to share with you one of my all time favourite quotes. The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, no matter what you try, will simply not like you. But the world is also filled with those...
Last week, I talked about our family’s Happy Lists. Thanks so much for all the lovely comments. Sometimes the simple ideas really are the best ones. The post made me remember a book I read last year which talked about the perfect diary for happiness. 59 seconds by Richard Wiseman *...
