Blogging award!!!



Slight change to plan, not my usual style post.... and all because someone lovely sent me a blogging award.... 

The Versatile Blogger.....  not quite an Oscar.... but the new blogger equivalent (or at least that is what I am telling myself!)

and I am very excited as it may help in my quest to find 100 people who "get" my approach to coaching during 2011 and follow me, so just ordinary normal people going about their lives wanting to make a slight change here and there.... and need a place to discover what that change might be.


Drum roll please....... drrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... a huge thanks you to the lovely Marcie of the most amazing www.funkyunderachiever.blogspot.com 

Marcie is hilariously funny and trying to do what most of us are... make some changes.... and strangely enough that is what I do!! So coming soon will be a coaching Marcie blog from me as a thank you for this lovely award.... Watch out Marcie...

I also now have to tell you 7 things about me (part of the award thing)
1) I love people watching (not procrastinating honest!!)
2) Coffee is an essential item of my day
3) Getting outside preferably with exercise...is an essential part of my day
4) I think children should be allowed to be children more than they are
5) One of my wishes would be that we as people in our society got better at empathy....we seem to have lost that somewhere along the way
6) I get angry when people in cars only think about themselves....
7) I think we need to do more incidental exercise.... get off our butts and walk more places


And I really enjoy what coaching does for people.... let me know if you get a buzz/ some success out of any of the posts!!!!


Thanks again Marcie.... catch you soon.......

I also need to add some more new people here..... but need to do some searching first so it will have to be another day!!

    I hear ya. :) I'm an 'on my arse most of the day' worker. I'm thinking of saving up for a treadmill and making a workstation out of it so I can walk and work at the same time. :)

all work and no play.....

So let me ask you a question... when was the last time you brought work home with you......????? It would appear from the MANY conversations I have regarding this, that most of us, take work home some of the time, and lots of us take work home most of the time..... and to what end??? Does it make the volume of work get smaller???? Does it allow you to exist in a stress free environment??? No????? in fact it usually has the opposite effect... We seem to have an inability to accept that for most jobs the work never gets finished.... the in-tray is never empty... that enough is enough... It is time to make a stand against ourselves, taking work home habitually is not good for us, our relationships or our families... so.... our challenge is.... to not take work home for a week..... and observe if anything really changed at work in terms of our function, did the in-tray get soooo much bigger, or did we actually start managing our time or our boundaries (that would be the No word...

Challenging routines

All of us have them.... but how often do we challenge their usefulness?  Routines allow us to do things quickly and efficiently, make us feel comfortable with our environment and existence and generally take us through life...... but what happens when a routine becomes a barrier to change?? We allow our habits and routines to prevent us from making a different choice, from trying something new, from changing, from losing weight, from exercising more, from...... (fill in your own blank here). So as Spring approaches (Autumn in the Northern hemisphere) it is time to clean out those habits- or at least challenge them... think through your routine and decide which bits are helpful and which are not.... I will be swapping my habitual pre work coffee in front of the computer for 10 mins of meditation. Although the coffee is lovely I don't need that extra 10 mins in front of the computer- the jobs will still get done, and I don't seem to be able to find the time to meditat...

It's a dog's life....

While I was watching this rather cute woofter enjoying basking in the winter sun I got to thinking a little.... What is my equivalent of 'a dog's life.' What is the ultimate simple pleasure and enjoyment????? Making the first fresh steps in snow (not that I get to do that very often anymore!!)  The smell of coffee first thing in the morning...? Reading the paper in the middle of the day with a cup of tea....? Fresh brewed tea using leaves and a proper teapot!!? Hearing the rain on the roof...? Walking in the early morning while the sun is coming up???? Anyway.... what is your simple pleasure.... let me know.... I would like to know what simple things we can do every day and acknowledge them as a precious moment.... Maybe with enough of them we can fill a whole week with pleasure...
