Gosh – where do I start!  I am in the business of guidance (and sometimes offering advice and ideas), and yet I am always aware that what I am telling others is exactly what I need to be be doing myself!  I have always been curious as to what makes friends tick and as to what makes them happy?  Also, so many friends have done interesting things – it is always interesting to understand as to what took them along that path.  

So, what would some of my top tips be to you?:

Just know that you are far more capable and able that you think you are.  You will have encountered so many challenges in many various disguises already.  These times will give you the strength to be able to navigate the current challenges.

It is alright to struggle with things – keep going.  There is also a time to reach out for help!

Sleep well and take care of your health.  Nourish yourself for vitality and energy.

Reach out to your friends and other mentors.  Share your ideas and concerns.  Listen well to advice.  Some of it you will take on board and some of it will not sit well with you.

Pray.  Aloud if you can!  Walking and praying invigorates me, calms and inspires me too. 

Just start the work.  Just start.  Once you get going you will be amazed at the momentum that builds up and this in turn is energising.  

Let go of the ‘baggage’ of debilitating thinking patterns. Just let it go. Learn from your past but keep moving with courage and confidence. Think on all that is good!

I wonder what you would advise your ‘younger self’? What is it that you do that serves you well and helps you to do what you want to be doing? What are you doing that inspires and invigorates your day?

Have a wonderful rest of your week!
