Exaggeration, friend or foe?

Posted on 12th March 2025 at 07:32
We all love a great story, the more dramatic, the better. And, preferably, with a few twists and turns along the way to ratchet up the emotions and suspense even further. 
 
So, what starts out as something quite small and, dare we say, commonplace ends up as a much more exciting adventure – or even saga, lasting much, much longer than was strictly necessary… 
 
We’re sure you can easily come up with many examples, whether your own or from other people who have been kind enough to share them with you (!). Whether you asked them to or not… 
 
The question we never stop to ask ourselves is whether all this exaggeration really helps us. Is it our friend or foe?

Rubbish in, rubbish out, doesn't only apply to computers...

Posted on 5th March 2025 at 07:37
Diet is one of those topics we talk about regularly, whether here on the Blog and with Clients. What never ceases to amaze us is how little thought – or planning – seems to go into what many people are eating each day. Whether on their plates or, increasingly, on the go. And, while most people are ready to accept the maxim of “rubbish in, rubbish out” as far as their computer is concerned; for some reason this logic often doesn’t seem to stretch as far as their bodies. 
 
Why is this? 
 
Well, we’d love to say there was one very simple answer but, unfortunately, this isn’t the case. From our perspective there are many different factors at play accompanied by a large dose of irony. And, if that sounds like a strange thing to say, we’ll explain why.

Age isn't a number, it's a state of mind...

Posted on 26th February 2025 at 07:35
Yes, we know it’s rather a cliché, but it doesn’t stop it from being true… 
 
We’ve all met – or know (!) – people at both ends of the age spectrum. Those who seem to be old before their time. Or, perhaps, have always been old in terms of their outlook on life. David refers to them as “Junior Pensioners” which may be slightly uncharitable but a good way of describing them (!). 
 
Sadly, their glass always seems to be half empty… “It can only get worse.” “It’s all downhill from here.” “What can you expect at my age?” And we heard these all – and more – from someone in their 30’s recently…

Why Mindset matters...

Posted on 19th February 2025 at 07:38
We’re often asked why we talk so much about Mindset or, as we usually call it, “the Little Monster in our Heads” (!). Is it really that important – or just another of our pet subjects?!? 
 
Well, the simple answer to both questions is undoubtedly “yes”, for several different reasons. 
 
Whether you consider yourself as working with people or not – and we all do to some extent (!) – it very soon becomes apparent how differently people react and then deal with the same – or similar – issues. Situations, people or events.

Wherever you are right now is fine...

Posted on 5th February 2025 at 07:17
You’ve probably heard this story before in one form or other. And, before we go any further, we’d better say that it harks back to pre satnav days, although it does still happen from time to time… Anyway, before we digress too far, on with the story. 
 
Someone gets lost and stops to ask a Local for directions. Usually, said Local is leaning on a gate or chewing a straw, so it’s easy for the person lost to be rather rude about them (!). The Local thinks about it for a moment and then says, well I wouldn’t start from here…

A little appreciation changes your day...

Posted on 22nd January 2025 at 10:01
It’s been a while since we talked about appreciation and how a little goes a long way, we even used this as the title of a post way back in 2017. 
 
And it sounds like such a simple thing to do. Just find things – anything (!) – to appreciate as you go about your day. And not just things. People, events or anything else that catches your eye and pushes your appreciation – or feel good – buttons.

Starting small and starting now...

Posted on 8th January 2025 at 07:07
First things first. We wish you a very happy – and healthy (!) – New Year, may 2025 be a great year for you!!! 
 
So, another shiny New Year beckons. The million dollar question is what are you going to do with it? What plans do you have? Big and, just as important, small. And, if you’re wondering why small is just as important, there’s a very simple answer. Not only are small things less scary and so easier to do – as well as fitting more easily into your day – but quickly build up into a much bigger result.
