It's been a little while since my last post. I'd love to say I've been away to sunnier climes or been doing something similarly exotic - but I'd be lying. The plain truth is I've been a victim..... of trying for perfection.
Let me explain.......
Sometimes in our lives we get stuck don't we? It's as if we can't move on with something until it's absolutley perfect? Does this strike any chords with you?
Regarding the blog, I've had lots of half-formed ideas for posts in the previous couple of weeks.... but nothing that was quite perfect. So instead of choosing something, anything,in fact..... inertia set in. Once you leave off doing something for a while, it gets harder and harder to get back into it.
Whilst contemplating this very fact this morning at 6.30am as I drove in to the surgery, it struck me that the most valuable lesson in this was accepting that being good enough is sometimes the best option at the time.
What have you been holding back from doing as you thought you weren't going to do it perfectly? Why not take this opportunity to decide that where you are, right now, is the best place to start from - and just go for it. That's good enough for me!

BE PASSIONATE !
Last night I ran a workshop on Limiting Beliefs.
It's a subject that I find is hugely relavant to so many of my clients.
What things in your life do you believe in that are holding you back?
Where did they come from?
What purpose are these beliefs serving you?
What have you missed out on because you have continued to believe these things?
These topics and many more were covered last night and went down well with the attendees. We had a really great, highly interactive session. It's excellent when people realise thay are not the only ones to feel as they do and share ideas and strategies with others in a similar situation.
When I got home afterwards, I was asked if I had enjoyed it - "I loved it!" was my response - not a moment's thought needed......
Although those that came along really seemed to enjoy it and get something out of it too - I think the real winner there was me. I don't say that in any sort of arrogant way...... far from it. I see the opportunity to do this sort of thing, to get out there and talk to others about something you are really passionate about, as a huge privilege.
So come on. What do you really enjoy doing? What are you passionate about? Whatever it is, know that you have all the resources you need to succeed inside yourself and just go for it. Step out of your comfort zone and fly!
