Every problem is a valuable lesson.


 THE BIG question is, how long does it take YOU to learn from a problem or mistake?

SOME of us only make a mistake once, learn from it and never do it again, that one time was enough. 

I like to think that I am a fast learner, and when it comes to work, I do learn fast, it's unfortunate that in my personal life that I always seemed to make the same mistakes over and over again. However, I did finally learn, but it took a lot!

I suppose we have to look at how important it is that we learn. Work is important to me, I suppose more important than other things in my life, particularly in my past, I had nothing else really, and so that was my focus. When I learn a new skill, add something new into my business I like it to work straight away, or at least I like to make it work straight away.

When I was learning to be a radio presenter at The Voice FM, I was kicking myself constantly, I am not natural with the technology, and had to work very very hard, my concentration was at it's maximum every time I was in the studio.

I would forget to put the microphone up before talking, I learnt.

I would forget to put the microphone back down after talking, I learnt.

I would forget to put a stop on the news jingle, I soon learnt that one.

MY focus was very much on not letting anyone down, and it was obvious if I did make a mistake, with so many people listening. It really did make me a fast learner.

CLIENTS come to me for hypnotherapy, they come with troubles, problems that haven't been solved, sometimes the most simple of problems, but they are over-complicated in their minds, so much that they can't see a way out. Maybe if they had try to solve the problem when it first happened, it may have been easier to solve?

SO the key is, act straight away. Learn as soon as is possible. At the first issue, look, listen, watch, feel, put every feeling and effort into seeing where it has gone wrong, and correct it straight away.

TAKE immediate action, don't procrastinate.

EASIER said than done eh? I know, but you can try, that's all it will take.

Workplace headspace

  Working from home can be difficult for some, but I have been doing it for nearly fifteen years now. It's just a case of compartmentalising. I need an area to work from, a desk, and an area that I can transform into a virtual personal training studio at the drop of a hat! My old house was tiny, so it was really difficult, the dogs were ever-present, but they soon learned how to behave when I was training someone online. They actually learned so well, that in some of the stretch sessions they would start to get up, knowing that I would be finishing soon! Clever dogs. I have a much bigger space to work in now, and I can screen off the dogs into the other room leaving my sessions uninterrupted. My desk area is nice and light, a little chilly but I am also in the room where the woodburner is, so if I get cold I can light it, making my working space much more cosy too. The view from above my desk is of the Northam Burrows, and the beach beyond, we can even see Saunton Sands from here o...

Dive into your dreams!

HERE we go again........'you only live once! Make the most of it!' FOLLOW your DREAMS! WE all know this is a sort of a mantra of mine, and it may get boring for you, but being this way is helping me live my best life. I think you can tell by the photos that already this blog is all about the 15,000 foot tandem skydive I did at the weekend. That's the highest you can go without needing oxygen by the way! Ryan (my wonderful husband) gave me a skydive present for my 50th Birthday and I did the same for him. We have been waiting a few months for this to happen, the thing with doing things in the sky is that the weather affects it, and so we had already had three disappointing postponements.    THE day, Sunday 11th May 2025, this was the day, although we weren't sure even then that it would actually happen. We got to Dunkeswell early on Sunday morning ready for an 8am check in. There were a few skydivers and novices like us kicking about, nervous-excited, lots of visits to t...

Breaking the habit.

Image
  Some of you may have seen that I'm running a special offer on a new package that I've been working on? (04/05/24 just in case you are reading this 6 years down the line!) I've called it, 'Breaking the habit' because most of what I deal with in fitness and hypnotherapy is straight off the back of bad habits being allowed to run wild. We all have habits, not all bad either, it is possible to create habits, because life, for us is pretty much a cycle of daily habits and weekly habits strung together. Out of necessity I get up before 6am, not a habit, but I have to get up for work, and dog reasons! Once I've walked said dogs (definitely essential and not habit) I return to start my day mixed with habitual activity and clients. I mix up my vitamin drink and greens in a glass, in the same order, so I don't miss anything, I take my supplements, then move on to making my matcha, another habit and so far all good ones. I move on again, pouring water into a jug, mov...
