Welcoming November

Autumn flow into Winter and general life chaos rambles… 

I have been volunteering at parkrun and completed a steeplechase run (here’s my set up and learnings), celebrating Marmalade Chartiy Trust’s 10th Birthday. I’ve also been creating our new website and courses for 2024. I’d love to know your news and any requests for these changes.

Here are some little tips and thoughts for you. There may be resistance, but still try it, it may help:

Take a pause, your favourite drink and ask yourself/journal:

– How am I feeling?

– What could help myself with this?

– What feeling would help me as a focus to breath daily?

– What is possible to focus on?

– Who can help me and who can I help?

Make sure you ask yourself how you are and what you need, and then those you love. Photos, voice messages, written notes and connection without pressure can make a difference as everyone is different yet personal sights, sounds and connection make a difference.

As the days shorten getting outside in day light will always make a difference if you can. Or just sticking your head outside a window, I promise.

YOU do matter and people love you, even if you don’t realise it right now, I promise.

Something is always possible, if not everything or what you had planned.

* Be angry, sad, fearful – whatever you need so it’s not suppressed – and then see what the possibility could be.

I am here to help you, things can often come into our lives suddenly causing us to pivot and wonder how life will unfold, re-establishing a new way of living.

Reach out if I can support you with your business, brain, body, life, love, adventures, find hope, clarity and purpose from now into 2024.

This podcast interview around ADHD and our brains is useful for all, The Diary of a CEO – let me know if anything resonates. 

Day by day, it’s different for everyone yet we’re all in this chaotic, great journey of life.

I feel grateful for running water, my home, friends and family, electricity and pen to paper to journal. When I was in Sierra Leone & Ebola broke out it reminded me of the simple things I have, compassion and resilience.

What, who, where do you feel grateful for? Make a few notes, it can calm our nervous system.

Check in with your wellness – how is your sleep, variety of foods, hydration, connection, digital switch off? All important, ‘basic’ areas to explore. 

Certain supplements help me at times (check if you are on medication and do your own research too). I use and recommend – if you have questions or unsure just ask, or check with your Doctor. For all our offer discount codes and recommendations which all support small businesses too, click here. This includes blood testing, food and allergy testing (we can order direct with discounts for you) and much more. 

So whilst so many things are out of our control and choices, pause and really tune into how YOU and your most valued relationships are. How can you make today, tomorrow and your month flow?  Really ask yourself this. This is a great book on Purpose.

Having support can sometimes feel indulgent

Or like you should be able to work it out yourself. But I can speak as a coach, and always having one or more coaches it can provide the support you need, in a non judgemental, safe, supported and professional space. 

Be brave to take the hard steps to shift yourself and be able to reflect at the end of 2023 on something you are proud you did or changed. You matter, 100%. 

Get in touch and share your little businesses, things that help, charities, whatever you would like, spirals of support – I’m sharing some on social media for people.

I think sometimes we limit ourselves with our habits and thoughts. So this winter, consider perhaps one habit and thought you could change, a decision you could make and something which would bring you joy each week. Notice what happens with this focus, let me know how you go. This is a great interview about hope. 

I leave you with two questions…. and a whole lot of support:

* What ‘weeds’ / clutter could you clear which no longer serves you – perhaps thoughts, digital files, emails and actual things?  Clearing is good and action.

* What could you plant now to nourish into the Spring?

Remember, just message me with one word or lots, I am here to support.
