Embrace Life Changes in Your 40s and Beyond

As we reach our 40s, 50s or 60s our life changes.

We know what a good diet looks like and yet we carry a little extra weight.

We worry about the people around us when we should get restful sleep.

We look back at our mistakes when we could look forward to new successes.

We should never forget there is always time for a new adventure!

Enjoy Your Weekend

Here’s to the Haggis

For people who work Monday to Friday weekends are precious.

They are time to focus on wellbeing and unwinding after the 9 to 5.

Wellbeing usually involves spending time with the people we care about.

It can involve reflection on the past and setting goals for the future.

Gatherings like these can happen on anniversaries or to mark important dates.

And that includes Burns Night!

What Should Men Talk About?

So, #movember is well underway.

Conversations about #men and #wellbeing are taking place.

But evidence shows men are still uncomfortable about sharing their #personal truth.

That’s why it is important we keep the conversation going.

Why November And #Movember Matter

Welcome to Men’s Health Month and a focus on getting better outcomes for men everywhere

Why is this attention necessary?

Because, often in growing up men learn to ignore important health and wellbeing issues – Big boys don’t cry, remember

However, without examination these issues can be deadly. That’s why it is important to focus on open health and wellbeing conversations in #movember and beyond

So, let’s do that, shall we?

Coaching Welcomes Diversity Equality & Inclusion

Every Aspect of A Coachee’s Experience Is Welcome

The most powerful part of coaching relationships is how they support the coachee’s progress regardless of any #intersectional factors which could hold them back otherwise. All of the client’s life experience is welcome during those conversations.

For instance, in May mental health awareness is topical, so is opposing discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. Coaching the whole person means putting everything on the table and deciding what helps or hinders growth.

Feel free to find out what coaching support is available for you at the 23rd of May event in London shown via this link https://tinyurl.com/4mf3jfwb – see you there!

“And The Award For A Successful Life Goes To…”

Nearly all of us serve someone else, in our 9 to 5, or as boss of our own side project.

Whatever we do adds value to our clients’ day and hopefully means we feel our day has been a #success .

What else contributes to that feeling of success?

To paraphrase Arnold #Schwarzenegger In his book ‘Be Useful: Seven Tools For Life’, the key to a happy and successful life includes

Knowing where you want to go

And how you are going to get there

As well as having the willingness to do the work along the way.

These sound like the principles of a SMART goal which would help any business or personal journey. The principles wouldn’t be set in stone, but adaptable to the changing circumstances we run into along the way.

When we reach our destination we might not win an award, but we should feel good about having got there.

“I Feel Selfish If I Care For Myself”

Some thoughts about self-care for #Internationalworkersday

If you have spent any time with people who are unpaid carers, especially in the margins of their day job, you will have heard someone say something similar to this.

Since #Carersweek is also coming up in June it is a good time to think about the value of self-care.

Why?

Because if we aren’t meeting our own needs, we aren’t going to be in good shape to look out for others.

So, every bit of nurturing we do for ourselves is an investment we make towards our care for others.
