The road ahead

Driving to the gym early this morning it was dark and misty. It felt a little disconcerting until it occurred to me that I didn't need to see the entire road ahead. It's an old cliché that the journey is the destination, but it reminded me to focus on what is directly infront of me rather than constantly worrying about the outcome or what may or may not be around the next corner.

One good thing

Not so much as a hint of sunshine in sight anywhere today (sigh!). But, even if it feels like you are having a bad day, there is usually something good to be found, even if it is just one small thing. Sounds simple, but it is very easy to focus on the doom and gloom to the exclusion of everything else.

This is just one of the many interesting things that I took away from the Alternatives Coaching Circle I attended last night. It was led by Nina Grunfeld, founder of Life Clubs, and when she asked us all to share something good that had happened that day, she alluded to the poem Dust of Snow by Robert Frost.

If you would like to read the entire poem, then Google it and may you be uplifted!

Errrr...procrastination

I'm shocked to discover that it has been, ahem, 'a little while' since my last blog post. I wish I had a good reason for this, but I don't, so I'm putting it down to procrastination. Great word that and it sounds alot better than indolence. Plus I've just discovered a hilarious quote on the subject:

"Procrastination: A hardening of the oughteries." Anon

Enjoy and watch out for more blog posts... promise!
