Monday Mojo – Pick the Phrase
Have you ever found yourself lost for words? This can happen when we’re met with someone going through a difficult time. Our instinct when someone is struggling is to ‘fix’ people, when of course that person may just want us to listen. You’ll know yourself how frustrating it can be when you just want to…

Monday Mojo – Find Your Rest
How tired are you? If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, feeling the strain of constant busy-ness, or just trying to keep all the plates spinning, you won’t be alone. Most of us are busy people (and as I explain in Answers in The Dark, a nation of poor sleepers), so if you’ve…

Monday Mojo – Release not Detach
Imagine for a moment I’ve just given you a full glass of water, told you to hold it out in front of you and, no matter what happens, you can’t put it down until I say so. You might be ok for a few moments, but after a while it’s going to ache. Your arms…

Monday Mojo – Notice the Feels
How are you feeling? When life is busy, we might struggle to recognise or find ways to describe our emotions. When there’s so much going on, we might experience a range of feelings – we might even realise we’re feeling none of them or all of them. One thing I talk about in my book Answers In The…

Monday Mojo – Keep Feeling Inspired
Do you celebrate your successes? As humans, it’s something we may be nervous about. We might feel worried about blowing our own trumpet for fear of being seen as arrogant.

Living in the 21st century is like that though, isn’t it? Sometimes we just want every day living to be, well…easy. When something goes wrong, or needs fixing, or just drains our time…

Monday Mojo – Slow the Pleasing
Have you ever said yes when you absolutely meant no? We’ve all been there. Someone asks if you can do something and our instant reaction is to help.Even if we don’t have the energy.Even if it means we’ll be later home.Even if it means sacrificing our own happy, for someone else’s. There’s a reason for…

Monday Mojo – Manage the Change
Welcome to February! How’s your year going so far? For some, 2023 has already got off to, shall we say, a “bumpy” start. Unexpected energy prices. Disruption in all corners of the workplace. Nothing anyone would willingly choose for themselves; I don’t know anyone who intentionally goes looking for drama every day. However, it’s…

Monday Mojo – Reject the Mess
Do you ever find yourself embroiled in someone else’s – or even your own – drama but feel like it’s too late to back out? Or have you ever been hurt by what someone said or did, and were tempted to hurt them back? Maybe you felt rejected by a friend, colleague or even an…

Monday Mojo – Embrace the Rage
Have you ever had a headache that just would not seem to go away? Or been told your regular headaches are “tension” or “stress related”? If so, or you know someone who has, you might find this interesting. Assuming it’s not an obvious medical cause that you’ve checked out with your doctor, there could be…
