My editorial is in the Primary Care Today newspaper/journal this coming week – entitled: ‘Exposed…. NHS staff lack self harm training’. Will let you know how you can get your copy or access it online

When one door closes another one opens! About 3 weeks ago I gave notice to my Aerobics instructor that I would not be returning to the classes. It was a particular aerobics programme combined with weight loss (we are weighed every week), which is just what I needed, however, due to my hypoglyceamic condition, I have to eat often. As you can image, due to eating often I have and continue to gain weight, hence leaving the aerobics programme because I felt that I was setting myself up to fail. That said, the following week I discovered that my local leisure centre was starting a circuit training programme on the same evening that I used to do aerobics. I signed up straight away! So I’m still keeping fit and healthy but without the stress of and focus on whether I’ve lost weight or not. I have an upcoming hospital appointment next month to find out the extent of my condition. This concept of one door closing and another opening is just a simple example in my life currently.

What do you need to let go of in order that you can move forward? An argument? A relationship? A job? Certain friends?  Change will only happen when you create space for the new thing to come into your life. When is NOW the right time for you to let go!? Have an inspirational filled week and thoughts!

 

 

On one of my Easy Tiger Parents programmes, many of the parents are extremely anxious for one reason or another. I normally do my own relaxation or meditation as part of the programme, with this particular group I feel I need a little extra help – one of my relaxation CDs. My intention is to liberate them so that they leave the programme leaving calm, enabled, ready, willing to take more risks, bonded with their children and generally LIBERATED!

 

 

It’s half term in Birmingham and the West Midlands this week. If you have children, how are you spending your time together? My son and I did some painting on Sunday and will spend another day tomorrow. I am very impressed with his painting skills given that he’s only ever painted his bedroom walls before. He was as proud as punch and felt that he had a ‘productive’ day. Brilliant!

Will look at spec for a new Radio Talk Show online that I have been approached by Voice America to host. If the spec is right, then the show will go live this winter. Will keep you posted

 

 

I had a really good circuit training session yesterday evening. Brilliant! Feeling great. For people who are feeling down, depressed, lethargic – exercise is a great medicine. Check it out! Fantastic medicine for people who value their bodies

 

 

I’m in the middle of re-drafting my editorial for Primary Care Today publication.  Surprising how much time writing articles and editorials can take! However, persevering!

I’ve got some really anxious parents on one of my new Easy Tiger Parents’ Programmes! I normally do my own relaxing and meditation exercises as part of the programme with parents, however with this particular group of parents, I think some extra help is needed – one of relaxation CDs as well. The calmer they are, the more they’ll be able to absorb and make the most of the tools and solutions from the programme. Looking forward to it!

 

 

Full of beans and energy these days, now that I am able to get back to my exercises after my mini op. Feeling great! This is a great testimony for anyone feeling low in energy or lethargic – start exercising and notice the difference it makes in your energy levels and mindset.
