Mother & Daughter Love?

Friends Or Foe

Mum’s been down for a visit.  We normally schedule her pilgrimage from up north down to that fancy London to coincide with one of the children’s birthday parties, but not this time. It was mum’s idea to break with tradition and pop down during a regular week and I don’t blame her, she probably wanted to avoid being met at my door by an already frazzled me brandishing a butter knife and a tub of Clover, signalling poor mum’s shift on butty-making duty has begun before she’s even got her coat off. So, this time things were different. She arrived to a warm hug and a hot brew and didn’t have to decant a single packet of Hula Hoops.

Bad habits

20 CONFIDENCE TIPS- Part 2


     1.     Whenever you feel a negative thought coming, STOP, THINK, and say is this really important in the grand scheme of things. A lot of the time it isn’t. Many people in life major in minor things!

 

   2.    Do you let the words of others affect you? Do you mind what they think of you? Remember that no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. It’s not what they say to you that’s the problem it’s what you say to yourself after they have stopped talking that’s the problem. Change the way you think.

 

3.    List the words that you use on a consistent basis when you feel let down or annoyed. People use different words to mean the same thing and depending upon the intensity of the word – this will have an effect on your confidence. Instead of saying “I’m enraged about this” say, “I’m a little annoyed”. Make a substitute list for the words that you use. Make sure they are lower in intensity and then use them. You’ll be surprised with the results.

Time Off Can't Do No Harm

Stress comes to us in various packages. It can surface through difficulties in personal or family relationships. The death or the impending death of someone close to us can cause it. When one loses a job, it can surface and by the same token, starting a new job can be stress related. Stress is actually the body's response to the stressor itself. Stress is the response made by the body and mind to adjust to pressure surrounding our daily lives.Stress is not necessarily bad.

Self Esteem After Abuse

Know this, that you can survive.

Maya Angelou says “someone was hurt before you, someone was wronged before you, someone was beaten before you, someone was humiliated before you, someone was raped before you, yet Someone survived”. The most important thing to know is that it is NOT your fault. The second most important thing is that you do not have to live your life as a victim.

 

Recovering from abuse takes time and support.  It may months or years to feel safe again, to regain trust, to restore your shattered self esteem. Here are some keys you can live by to not only survive but begin to live again.

Love & Friendship

Love & Friendship


One man's perspective 

Love is often sold to us, bottled, packaged and delivered through every medium. "I love you," three words that take three seconds to say and yet a lifetime to prove.

 

In society today, it exists only in a commercial sense to keep producing dollars and cents.

 

I believe true love exists in a different realm, where two people accept each other first, then love each other second.  This isn't the love you see in Sex and the City or Bridget Jones' diary, indulging otherwise smart women with delusional and dysfunctional ideas of what constitutes love.

 

True love can't be criticised, it cannot simulate or fake...it just is.  True love will not demand from its recipients, moreover, it gives in abundance just for the love of it.

Say what you do and do as you say

 

Many people open up a conversation with the question "What do you do for a living?  It is a straightforward question which most of us should be able to answer succinctly.  However are you really doing what you say you are in all aspects of your business and career?  Running a business is not just about making money its about building a reputation based on your word; based on your level of integrity.  

 

The same can be said for your career; you can coast and do an "OK" job but are you really doing the best you can; being the person that you professed to be in your first interview?
