A Leap of Faith

Hi somerandom, sorry to hear you had a scary time over Christmas, hope DS is feeling ok now. Listen to your body, you obviously need to relax and rest, you will catch up with your chores when you are back to fighting fit xxxx

Hi Stressedmum - DS is fine now thanks - he bounced straight back (I took a little longer :rotfl:). You are right - its important to listen to your body. Funnily enough I felt I had loads of energy today and got loads of organising done so the rest must have done me good. Have a good week

Hi,

I hope you have taken the advice of StressedMum and taken some time for you.

I hope you all had a good start to the New Year.

It took me a good few days to readjust to work - it was hard snapping out of that Christmas bubble - especially as for most of the week I was at home and had to exert all of my willpower just to not laze around and watch Netflix! It ended up being a busy week as on top of the Coaching sessions I had booked I had quite a few people contacting me to pick up with things we'd discussed before Christmas.

I've got a busy week next week - Going out for a planning day with a colleague I do Consultancy work with, training Fri - Sun & taking the day off on Weds for my birthday (at the moment a day in bed is looking most attractive) - so I will have to squash all the rest of my work in the remaining days. Really not complaining though - I'm very happy to be busy

I hope you all have a good week

Happy new year :beer:

God everything is ok with your son and that you did manage to rest a bit over Christmas. Everyone needs a break. Especially when your week sounds busy

Have a very happy birthday on Wednesday :beer::)

Hi All - Can't believe I haven't posted for so long - the last 2 weeks have felt like a blur.

I had a significant dip in mood during my birthday week. Looking back it was just a combination of tiredness, the time of year & the pressure we can sometimes put on ourselves that things need to be a certain way on special occasions but at the time it felt horrible. I felt quite down and low energy and had 3 full days training scheduled at the weekend when all I really wanted to do was take to my bed & pull the duvet over my head. It felt hard to get through it in some ways and I came down with a cold immediately after but things have really shifted for me since then and I feel a lot more positive. I'm now qualified to coach Teams & Pairs.

Last week was a busy Coaching week but because I had a cold I prioritised resting when I wasn't Coaching and I can feel I am on the mend. I have got very behind on household chores etc though & the chaos has started to get me down. I had planned to do my Tax Self Assessment on-line this weekend and can't believe I hadn't realised I have to wait for an activation code to come in the post - I'm really cutting it fine with the deadline !! :eek: I think there is a theme of "could be more organised" :rotfl:

A busy week yet again next week - I am attending a conference for 2 days and the plan is to network my little socks off while I'm there. I've never approached an event like this before & in the past have thought of myself as someone who doesn't enjoy networking - it'll be interesting to see how it goes...

Hope you are all well - I'd love to know how you are all doing.

Hope you're fighting fit now somerandom. I hate this time of year for getting ill and rundown although touch wood, I've been ok. Normally have something or other so I'm pleased

Hope you've been networking those socks off and that something good has come of it.

I'm off this week so I feel great. A few more days to enjoy before the doom feeling sets in :rotfl:

Have a good week
