Who Is In Your Fan Club?
You will have supporters in life
and you will have detractors in life
and you will have couldn’t care much one way or the others in your life.
The ‘couldn’t care much one way or the others’ may help you if you ask them. They probably won’t do you any harm. You could get to know them better – find out what makes them tick and offer help and assistance to them. Who knows, in time they may join your supporters club.
The detractors may take up more of your time that necessary; we tend to get caught up with stuff like that when sometimes the best answer is just to let go. Decide that they won’t upset you and don’t respond. A waste of your energy.
Which leaves your supporters.
Do you know who your supporters are? Are you paying them enough attention? Are you supporting in return?

Are You The Boss You’d Like?
Well, are you?
If you were your own boss (and maybe you are, as I am) would people be queuing up to get in your team based on how you treat yourself?
Try honestly answering the following questions:
Do you treat yourself well? By which I mean do you look after yourself when working?
Do you take regular breaks? Grab some fresh air at least once a day?
Do you have a proper lunch break away from your desk/workplace at least three times a week?
Do you regularly praise yourself for a job well done?
Do you celebrate your successes?
Do you invest in yourself, take advantage of training on offer?
I hope you can answer yes to a good few of those. if not, time to give yourself an appraisal! Got to dash. the sun is shining and I’m going into the garden for 15 minutes!
Please share your ‘look after yourself’ tips!

Your Leisure Questions
As much of the UK returns to work following a long week end it seems a good time to ask a few questions about your attitude to relaxing. Your leisure time, the time that ‘feeds’ you, when you relax.
- Can you remember when you last felt totally relaxed?
- Where were you and what made it relaxing? Were you in control of events or was it a combination of external events?
- How often do you consciously make time in your life to relax, or do you think it should just happen spontaneously?
- Are there certain conditions that need to be met for you to be relaxed?
- Does your best relaxation come when you are with others, or alone?
- Do you give your relaxation time priority or is the first thing to go when times get busy?
- How often do you need your leisure/relaxation time?
- Do you know when you are next going to recharge your batteries?
Do share your favourite tips for relaxation. Regular readers will know that pottering in my garden is one of mine, but I have also recently rediscovered the joy of reading (not work related) in the middle of the day! What do you do to recharge?
Looking After You
‘When we’re well we want so many things, but when we’re sick we want only one’.
It’s so true, isn’t it? Like many of you, I suspect, I glibly talk about health and happiness being important yet consciously working to maintain my health is not one of my more obvious priorities. But without it all of my other goals will need revisiting. It should be top of my list!
So I am resolved to take better care of my physical health from this moment on. I don’t want to lose it to know the value of it!
How about you?
