Being busy means we wear the same no-brainers over and over. A challenge: clear out and try some old faves...

We all want to feel we make a difference, don’t we? When we’re not sure that what we’re doing is making a difference, we feel powerless. We feel a lack of motivation, a lack of enthusiasm for what we are doing and don’t we sometimes even just give up?

How Taking Your Time and Taking Time Out Is The Most Productive Thing You'll Do This Year

Get in touch with your vulnerable side to find the courage to slow down.

I knew I had a problem with stress and busyness when every month or so I would collapse in a heap and sleep for two days solid.

I’d better add a health warning to this post. I’ve just completed another RenewYou licensing event and once again been overwhelmed by the friendship and support so may just be a bit emotional…but I see nothing wrong with that. I’m a human, we emote. There’s been quite a bit of media-chat about women and friendship of late, mostly to the effect that women don’t make good friendships or look after each other in business.

It sounds a bit rude, doesn’t it? And my apologies if you have landed on this page expecting some information about how to defrag your computer. It isn’t here; but tarry a while because what I am about to say might be of use…

Why resisting life can keep you connected to what you don't want...

Trusting your own inner guidance might be a leap of faith for some, but here's why you need to trust what's right for you in a world of others opinions.

We all have an inner style sat nav: Here's how to access yours...

Picture the scene, you've spent the best part of a year thinking ahead to your long awaited summer holiday. You've been working out, planning what you'll do when you're there, loaded up your Kindle, had all the waxing, pedicures and everything else done and you're just so ready and up for it. You arrive at the hotel and feel like your heart sink. Seriously? Is this it? It's nothing like the photos.

Often, when asked 'What Have You Been Up To? Our reply involves the words 'Same” and “old”. How can we change this?

It's easy to go through the motions of your life. One day feels much like another and suddenly you notice you feel like Shirley Valentine talking to the wall or the meteorologist in Groundhog Day who's stuck on repeat. Where do you start when you want to somehow begin again?

Oft quoted, there's so much we can learn from Maya Angelou - notably one of the most inspirational teachers, poets and authors of our time.
