Welcome back to my blog!
It’s a long while since I posted anything on here and I want to apologise for that. For the past five years I thought I had nothing to say and no one would be interested anyway. Wrong!
I am a master of procrastination. I can find any excuse not to make public what I write if I think my words will be judged and found wanting. To procrastinate means to put off until tomorrow or a later date and oh boy that’s what I did.
So no more ‘putting off’
Life as I knew it has changed and ‘later’ is one word I won’t be using quite so much this year.
As well as coaching clients I’ve been writing short stories and flash fiction with a writing group and posting comments on Facebook and LinkedIn in reply to other people’s thoughts.
This first blog of 2021 is my pledge to do a regular blog on my own website and to ‘own’ it.
2020 was the strangest year I’ve lived through in all my 63 years. It felt like a survival course without knowing the rules. Well, three rules -
1) Wash your hands
2) Stay inside or stay 2 metres away from other people
3) Wear a mask on public transport and in shops and stores
These rules have felt dehumanising, lonely and demoralising for me but I’ve followed them to protect myself and others from this vile, invisible virus, Covid 19.
I hope that by this summer some of us will be able to see and hug our loved ones. I look forward to having my first hug from someone else for nearly a year. Hugging myself works sometimes but it’s not the same as the exchange of healing energy between two people or more - a group hug can change my world and my mindset in an instant!
I love coaching and I’d love to coach you. I love being there to hear someone say, ‘I did it!’ when they’ve set a goal. It’s an honour to be a part of someone else’s coaching journey and to see their increased confidence in themselves. Have you thought about changes you want to or need to make?
I have. I recently did a free 5 day Supercharge Your Website Challenge with the amazing Vicki Jakes, heyvickijakes.com and thanks to her and her team I’ve set myself some tasks in order to update my website. Nothing will happen overnight but I’ll be setting some goals and during the update work I’ll be blogging.
Your comments are welcome and if you relate to anything I blog about please share your thoughts.
