Looking back at your career, what has been most responsible for your success in life and work to date?

As we approach another year end there can be much anxiety around assessing the goals we achieved or did not achieve (as the case may be) during the past year. Anxiety surrounding imminent job loss or fear of what might happen can cloud our vision and prevent us making positive plans towards our future.

Rain, recession, fear of job loss – how do we keep ourselves in a positive mind frame? Coping strategies can include, distracting ourselves from our stresses or “changing the channel”.

The difference between somebody who reaches their goals and somebody who does not, is usually down to focus. The ability to stay focused on a goal rather than getting sidetracked is, perhaps, the greatest skill you can develop.

Now is that time of year that a good spring-clean will prove beneficial to not just your home, but also to yourself. A good spring clean, whatever time of the year, is healthy both mentally and physically.
