Make things happen!

Is there one step you can take today towards your biggest life goal? Or one tiny chore that would make the difference to your week? It could be one phone call, meeting someone who can help you, putting something away or introducing a new method for doing something. Anything that truly makes a difference.


 If you have more time you could set aside a whole day to make a big difference, this could be throwing away old outdated items, sorting out your wardrobe so that the things you do wear fit in it and the things you can't fit into any more end up at the charity shop, on an auction site or advertised in your newsagents window! It could be looking for a new job instead of grumbling about your current job, or going for a long walk instead of obsessing about your weight!


It just takes one thing to start the ball rolling and before you know it your whole life has changed for the better. The clothes that are now hanging in your wardrobe, instead of lying on the floor, means that tomorrow before work you can find an outfit easily which means you have time to have a proper breakfast rather than grabbing a piece of fruit on your way out of the door. It means that you can spend the time you would normally loose doing something you enjoy

. Or alternatively doing something else which would make a difference to your life tomorrow. It could be sitting down and planning what meals you're going to prepare this week and placing an order with an online supermarket which means that the time you save you can spend having that manicure you've been dreaming of for months now. It means that you won't get caught out by sneaky calorific chocolate bars that normally find their own way into your trolley, which means that you save money and time and end up with great looking nails. This makes you feel better about yourself and allows you even more time to do things that make you happy.

 All by taking one small step to make a difference. So make a difference today.

Watch out for energy vampires

Energy Vampires 'suck' away your energy

Energy vampires literally suck away your energy, you want to sink further into the couch just thinking about them. If you can identify those energy vampires in your life you are half way to eradicating them forever. 

Energy vampires can include:

•  things that we feel we 'should' do, which we actually don't want to do, those things on the to do list that have been sat there for months, years even, never getting started. 
• People who we see but who we would rather not see.
•  Boring meetings which ramble on for hours without actually achieving anything.
•  Looking for items that have no proper home. 
• Worrying about health/weight/money/future. 
• Clutter that no longer reflects who you are or what you want.
• Gifts that you don't find particularly attractive but which you feel you should keep because it was a gift.
• Boredom. 
• Fear. 
• Feeling guilty.
• Worrying about the small stuff.
• Doing what other people think we should do. 
• Trying to be perfect. 
• Trying to be someone you're not. 

 Sometimes we simply have to cross things off the to do list. We have to say no to boring meetings. Be suddenly busy if an energy vampire friend suggests lunch. Give away the clutter, do only what makes us feel good. Start being true to yourself, filling your days doing things you love doing. Spend time with those who inspire you, who uplift you or who you admire. Surround yourself with items that make your heart sing.  Life is what you make it, so make it good!
