Spring review

  I love these sunny days when I get a beautiful sunset every evening into my lounge. It makes me realise how lovely some 'simple things' are.

I have also been thinking back to this time last year when my life and health were very different. This month I have run 5km five times despite having the goal of only running it once, at a race-for-life event. Last year I had undiagnosed coeliac disease with anaemia and felt terrible. I had about 3 hours energy a day, and that was if I pushed myself really hard. I was often in bed by 8pm after spending all afternoon on the sofa incapable of thought or activity.

The price of having to eat a gluten-free diet has been worth it - to feel the way I do now. I also decided to give up drinking alcohol as it made me feel so rough, and I drink mainly herbal tea and my energy levels have rocketed.

Happynurses is now on the cusp of developing into something huge - we have 1000 on the email list, I have 9 coaching clients, an NHS Trust interested in working with me, one franchisee who will become a happynurses coach in her area and the most amazing team, most of whom I didn't even know 6 months ago, never mind a year ago. We are gearing up for massive PR once the site is ready and my book is launched in June.

What have you done in the last 12 months, or is your life 'much the same' - same challenges, moans, job you don't really like, or have you taken action to move on? I would love to hear from you. If you need some help, get a coach - seriously - it will transform your life forever, guaranteed!

Get going, happynurses and this time next year - who knows?!

How it all works.....

  As I said - last week saw the first happynurses 'coaching skills' course. We got 7 people in a room to teach them how to coach others, and I thought one of the best ways to experience the power of coaching was through them experiencing it themselves first. Little did I realise the effect this would have on the attendees!

It was the first time Johnnie and I had trained together and only the 4th time we had spent any time together (and the first workshop I had ever run...!) but it was easy, fun, relaxed and flowed like a dream. We are a truly wonderful partnership.....

This is the result of me listening to my intuition when I had a strong message to contact Johnnie, and then having the courage to follow through on my feelings. Listen to yours, happynurses - it will make all the difference!

Be in tune with YOUR feelings, happynurses!

In the Flow.....

 So, another big leap for happynurses!

Last week we held our 'pilot' coaching course for 7 participants and the results were beyond our expectations by about 1,000,000%!

Seven people arrived on Wednesday and seven 'different' people left on Friday after a transformation in their lives and thoughts. Wonderful!

The next course is this month - from 27th to the 29th of March, then early June. This will be the best coaching seminar you have ever attended and we guarantee fun, learning, transformation and ongoing motivation. If you choose the advanced course you will also get 12 weeks of coaching to ensure you keep the actions going after the course.

Join us!

Be transformed, happynurses!

Action week

  This week is an 'action week' for me. What does this mean?

It means I have lots of things on my 'to-do' list and some of them have been there for too long. I have caught up with a lot of the happynurses activities and have some space to really get other things done.

To join in:

Decide to have an 'action week'. Make a list of EVERYTHING that needs doing in your life - things that stress you or are broken/ running late/ dirty/ old/ irritating/ or things you have been 'meaning to get round to' for a while, and you really want to sort them out. This week is the time to do it!

Look at all the areas of your life - my vision board has my 4 main life areas - health and vitality, love, wealth and adventure.

Keep writing your list until you have it all done, then think about how long these activities will take. Many of these jobs take a few minutes but we can put them off for months - it's a great feeling to get them done!

I have 4 lists - one for each life area. I started yesterday with stocking up on food - I filled the cupboard with things that will keep so I don't have to go again for a month or so. I also recycled loads of stuff that was cluttering the flat, read a book I had wanted to read, sorted out some paperwork. Today I have been to the gym and am now looking at my 4 month plan for my life - biz, social, fitness, adventure, home, love and so on - while listening to an entrepreneurs audio.

It feels great!

Just get started and let me know how you get on!

Which way now?

 

This is a pic of my re-incarnation from nurse to business woman doing my '40-second elevator speech' - what re-incarnation would you like for yourself?

I have spent the past week or so speaking to new potential coaching clients and talking to them about issues they are 'struggling with' in life.

Many of them are looking for clear direction in one particular area of life, which is where a coach comes in really handy! The first step in making any change is to look at who you are and what is happening right now.If you want a new job, for example, don't start by looking at new jobs - it's more effective to start looking at YOURSELF.

In any life area that is not working for you, think about:

• What do you really want? (imagine you can have anything - don't hold back)
• What are your values in that area?
• What would you love to be/do/have in a job/relationship or role?
• Who do you admire in this area?
• Who do you envy and why?

Take time to understand yourself and you can then make better choices about where you would 'fit'.

Use the resources available online to do some personality tests. One of my favourites is the signature strengths test at www.authentichappiness.com

Have fun getting to know yourselves, happynurses
