The festive season has come and (nearly) gone and I hope you and your family (whether family by blood or family through love and association) are having / have had a fantastic holiday season. How have you spent the last week and a bit? I have been blessed to spend the last days of 2013 with family (my hubby Rahim, my mum and my dad) in slightly sunnier climes than what we’re blessed with in the UK and it really has been lovely to spend quality time together and truly reconnect. As is often the case when away from the daily grind, it’s also been beneficial to have some time and space to think, plan, strategise, mastermind, plot (mwa-ha-ha – but not in an evil way, I promise!) and actually to really think about the many many things to be thankful for. “Gratitude” is a big part of my mantra for 2014 (mantras are something we’ll discuss further sometime soon – stay tuned). In the meanwhile – I just wanted to say a belated Seasons’ Greetings and to wish you all the best for a very Happy New Year. Not surprisingly – I’d also really like to encourage you to do 2 things (it’s all about action right?!): 1. Look back on 2013… and pat yourself on the back. Ask yourself – What did I achieve? What am I proud of? What surprised me about myself? What do I now know I can do, that I would not have believed I could do, this time last year? Be kind to yourself (so important). Where there were disappointments, set backs and anything you...
The nights are dark, the air is crisp and every other ad on TV mentions the words “this Christmas.” Yup – the season to be jolly is approaching which means that the end of 2013 is imminent. How has 2013 been for you? How far along did you get with any New Years Resolutions you set more than 11 months ago? Did you score the new job you were after? Gain the promotion you were working towards? Create a deeper, more supportive connection with your partner? Spend more quality time with your children? Have more fun with your friends? Lose that excess weight that’s been bugging you? Plan or go on the spectacular holiday you wanted? Yes? Yay you! There really is not much else that is as satisfying as moving closer and closer to these sorts of goals if they help you create the kind of lifestyle you want. If you’ve not quite gotten there yet and are already Thinking “it didn’t happen this year but I’ll DEFINITELY make it happen in 2014” then I would like to stop you in your tracks. Whoa there! “I’ll make it happen next year?!” Your resolve is commendable but you have forgotten one thing. There are (just under) 7.. Yes nearly 7 weeks of 2013 left. You know his much can happen in 7 weeks? Lots – to put it mildly – so with that in mind I would like to share 7 ways that you can progress further to your goals in the last 7 weeks of 2013. 1. Look for a quick win: Are you close to achieving one...
