Positive Resolutions

If you could change one thing...

What would it be?

Would you lose weight?

Yes if only! Every year this is a New Year’s Resolution. I join the gym, start the latest diet (done them all – Weight Watchers, Rosemary Conley, Atkins, South Beach, Low GI) and by February nothing has changed and the small amount of weight lost in January through hard slog and deprivation is firmly back in place and the waistband is as tight as ever.

Would you give up smoking?

Yes but I’ve stopped 3 times before only to succumb when stress, boredom or cravings got the better of me.
Yes but I’ve tried everything – patches, group help, on-line help, NHS quitline, nicotine patches and gum and nothing works.

Would you be more confident?

Yes but as soon as I’m in a social environment everyone seems more self assured than I am and I feel like I want to shrivel and die in the corner. Why do I bother making the effort?

Would you improve your relationships?

Yes but I’m in an unending pattern of always meeting the wrong guy/girl.

Would you manage your stress better?

Yes but life is increasingly stressful, there is nothing that can be done and it’s not just me, everyone is stressed these days!

Change One Thing for Life

I’ve heard all the ‘yes buts’ and ‘if onlys’ but I truly believe that everyone of us has every resource we need to make lifelong change and achieve the best we can in our lives. All that is missing sometimes is someone to help breakdown the problem and bring some alternative solutions.

If I could describe in one word what I do it is ‘facilitation’. The dictionary definition of the word ‘facilitate’ is ‘to make easier’ and that is what I aim to do. You have the problem to solve or goal to achieve and through a mixture of different tools and techniques and good old fashioned ‘support’ my role is to make the process easier.

What do you need to do? Just decide. Decide the one thing you would like to change and then call me to book your initial consultation to see how I can facilitate – make the process easier for you. I look forward to your call!
