Personal Development

-


Hello readers. A shorter blog from me this time, but the message is just as important.

When we look at our lives, where we have come from and where we are going, we seldom look at the good things. Our focus leans towards our failings and lack of achievement.

Everyone has achieved something and everyone can achieve more. Being happy with your lot, is like saying, "Let’s give up on our dreams and desires". Personal development is built from within. Start to appreciate who you are and what you can be.

Embrace your own personal development as a journey of self-discovery and growth. Make the time matter in your life. Remember, time is your most valuable asset; we all have the same 24 hours each day, so make each moment count.

Address your anxieties by giving your full attention to what truly matters, don’t allow them to be your stopper. All too often we think we can’t when we could if we just tried.

Reflect on your direction in life; sometimes, it takes breakdowns to lead to breakthroughs. We can learn so much more from our mistakes and failing than we can our successes.

Perfection is an illusion; instead, focus on progress and self-acceptance. A child goes from crawling to stumbling, to walking, to running. We don’t expect perfection from them but we see progression. Give yourself the same recognition for achievements.

Identify habits that no longer serve you and replace them with positive ones. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein . It takes 3 weeks to create a new habit, this time next month you could be achieving so much.

Be mindful of your beliefs, as they shape your reality. Our values are what make us, don’t allow others to devalue yours.

Expand your mind through reading and find peace through meditation. Allow yourself to let go of what no longer serves you and embrace the beauty of the present moment.

Happiness isn’t found, it’s created and the good news is that you hold your future in your hands and your mind. Start to use them to your advantage.

Take care, Dawn

Age - is it a problem?

Welcome to the beginning of a brand new month, it always brings with it new hope and new opportunities. With each passing month there is another 30 days or so that have gone forever and have left their mark on us, it’s called ageing. For those of you that know me well, you will recall that at the end of 2024 I hit 60. GULP, sit down and take life slowly. Heck! … no chance!. I feel younger, fitter and ready to take on the world, not sit down and prepare for the calling.  Who recalls the days when 60 was the retirement age? When I was a child I thought 60 was old; I pictured old ladies with walking sticks and grey hair (who knew it would be a trend now?) and old men with a pipe and slippers rocking by the fire. Judgemental or what?! But let’s look at this. Today’s society has its own judgements and they are actually bordering, if not stepping over the line of discrimination.  Most of us can’t retire at 60 and collect our state pension anymore, yet we don’t get the same bre...

7 Steps to Starting Afresh Embracing New Beginnings with Confidence and Purpose We can always make a fresh start, the only thing that holds us back are our doubts and insecurities. Whether it’s embarking on a new career path, relocating to a new town, healing from a past relationship, or simply redefining oneself; the idea of starting anew carries both promise and apprehension. It requires us to shed old identities, habits, and sometimes even relationships, creating space for growth, reinvention, and a sense of possibility. However, a fresh start isn’t always easy; it often demands courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty. In just 7 Steps we will look at how to get started and make things happen. If you like, and what works for me, is to keep each step separate and set aside a day to devote to each step. That way you will stay focussed on what you need to do to implement this plan. By all means, for now, read the whole blog, but then on a daily basis, revisi...

The Great British Weather - A Never-Ending Moanathon!

For those of you that know me well, you will know that I love to find a positive in every situation and I ABSOLUTELY love the sun.  So let’s talk about the weather, or should I say, "Let’s moan about the weather." The British weather : unpredictable, infuriating, and the glue that holds our small talk together. No matter the season, we’re never happy - and frankly, we wouldn’t know what to do if we were! Sunshine? Time to Complain The moment temperatures rise above 20°C, Britain goes into meltdown. People rush to the nearest beer garden (me too) like it's the last day on Earth. Meanwhile, a national crisis unfolds: * “It’s too hot! We’re not built for this!” * “I can’t sleep at night - it’s like a furnace in my bedroom.” * “Is this the end? Should we start rationing water?” Two days later, it rains, and we breathe a collective sigh of relief - until we start moaning about the rain. Rain: The Default Setting It doesn't matter if it’s drizzle, torrential downpour, or “i...
