- This week we are discussing that very familiar frustration of feeling stuck and being annoyed with ourselves for not being able to ‘just get on with it’.
But since so many of us can relate to this feeling, there must be more to it, right?
Well, we think so, in what we have called ‘the hidden layers of stuckness’ and the ‘self-talk trap’ we can fall into, meaning we get nowhere fast! And we have some tips to help you get unstuck without feeling like you are forcing yourself.
This is exactly the kind of work we support our clients with, so please do get in touch with either of us to find out more.

Following on from last week’s discussion about whether it’s true that we should NEVER give up, this week we’re offering tips, tools and techniques to help you recognise and admit when you’re ready to give up on something - because cutting through all the cultural noise about never giving up to recognise what’s best for YOU, can be hard, can’t it?
So why not grab a cuppa and a biscuit or six and join us?🫖🍪

“Don’t be a quitter.”
“Nothing worth having comes easy.”
“You didn’t come this far just to give up.”
We hear these things a lot and they often seem really positive and motivational. But in this episode we’re questioning whether it’s true that we should NEVER give up - after all, even Churchill recognised that there’s an important caveat to “never give up”...

This week’s question is a tad predictable, but maybe your answers won’t be…
What in your life would you like to give up on, and what stops you?

Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball - If we picked every battle to get involved in that we possibly could, it would be exhausting!
There are potential sources of frustration and annoyance everywhere – from social media, to workplace disagreements, politics, family members, the neighbours…
With all this possibility to get involved, it’s worth checking if it’s a battle we want to get involved in, and use our precious time, energy and emotional resources on.
This week we are asking a few questions for you to check whether you want to don your armour – or not. It doesn’t mean you don’t care, but it doesn’t mean you have to engage.
This week’s question to mull over: What's one battle you're currently fighting that maybe you can disengage from?

We’re offering tips, tools and techniques for getting more comfortable with blowing your own trumpet, and in a way that it is in harmony with others, rather than drowning them out.
