Good morning wonderful people!

One of the reasons we really need to be mindful of the way we think and talk to ourselves is because the brain is always desperately trying to bring us what it thinks we are asking for!

So if we are constantly reinforcing failure, fear and negativity that is where our focus is and we can set ourselves up for failure!

So just be mindful of what you are thinking and saying to yourself – something as simple as “I bet there will be nowhere to park” – “I bet they won’t have any …..”

During times of challenge we can get so caught up in having low expectations of life and people we can get out of the habit of even recognising what good stuff looks like!

Try to keep your mind open to the totality of possibilities and that maybe, just maybe things will go well and it will be ok!!

The world needs to know we are open to receiving all the good stuff – whatever that may be and whatever that may look like!

So open up your mind and your heart to receiving the good stuff in whatever form it comes– a smile, a compliment, a tiny act of kindness – these are the wonderful pops of magic. xx

Well its a wet and wild Thursday wonderful ones!!

You need to find your joy where you can in life!

Yesterday at the gym we bade an emotional au revoir to one of our gang as they headed off to the Canaries for a well deserved holiday.

So happy for her to be heading off for a lovely time but made even more relevant because this time last year she had to cancel the same holiday to go into hospital for a double mascetomy.

What a difference a year makes and how fabulous to see someone you care about getting the joy back in their lives!!

So later we went to pick up our girls to go for dinner at El Tico and it was so lovely to be out in the dark seeing all the beautiful lights on peoples houses!

Such time, effort and energy people have put in to work that they won't see from the inside but strangers will get so much joy from as they pass!

Sometimes people have no idea how much their lives can impact and bring joy to others - I choose those moments!!

Hoping you have some little pops of joy in your day today!! ###

Good morning lovely people!!

So lightening up with the posts from hereon in!

Sitting here having my coffee and organising my thoughts and jobs and reflecting on what is good and what there is to have gratitude for.

So many good people seen this year! So much good work done and so many great results!!

Each and every one of you are what drives me to get up in the morning and feel excited for life!!

Life is full of ups and downs but one thing is sure people are essentially good, capable and all they need is the right support, to feel listened to,valued, respected and taken seriously in order to take back their power and flourish!!

Well the ones on this page anyway - only lovely people here!!

So remember who you are, remember what you have achieved, remember what you are capable of and don't let the bastards get you down!!!

Good morning lovely people!!

Well The Practice is now closed for appointments until the New Year to give me time to work on some new projects including the festivities!

I will still be working and posting just not seeing people at the moment.

You may have seen this piece that was posted at the weekend.

It was a little trip down memory lane to places, people and life styles no longer with us!

It also made me realise that I have left a part of myself in the 80s particularly when it comes to comparing prices!!

So anyone fancy a trip back to the 80s for Christmas this year – if only!!xx

On a serious note - sometimes people feel sad for times gone, people gone, youth gone so be kind to yourself in the weeks ahead as you may be able to relate to this "The older you get, the more you feel homesick for a version of life that no longer exists."

Good morning lovely ones!

So every one of you will be experiencing the next couple of weeks in different ways with different challenges and different concerns!

Just please give yourself some grace, compassion and kindness and just do what you can when you can!

You are not going to be gfited with an extra dose of energy, money or patience just because there is a lot to do - so plan, organise and make good use of the resources you have physical, emotional and financial and DON'T let anyone put pressue on you - and that includes you!!###

Happy Sunday darling people!

There is nothing more beautiful than someone being themselves and living their authentic life!

Just being yourselves and living life in a way that brings peace to your nervous system and joy to our soul gives us a glow that nothing else can!

So we don't need expensive tweaks or botox we just need to surround ourselves with people who are beautiful on the inside and live our best lives!!

I am loving catching up with the special people in my life and feeling the energy of connecting with likeminded souls - its so life affirming!!

Big hugs ###

Welcome to the weekend wonderful ones!!

So yesterday was technically my last day in the office however I kept Monday open in case of emergencies and its full!

To toast the end of the working year Mr C and I went to St Brelades Bay hotel for afternoon tea.

I was there in the morning for the gym and back in the afternoon for cake- its called balance and not taking yourself too seriously!!

Balance is so important - extremes simply are too much - aim to come back to centre always. So good stuff to balance out the bad, treats to balance out the hard work. Kindness to balance out the harshness.

None of us are perfect but many of us put huge pressure on ourselves to be perfect – its fast track to stress, anxiety and disappointment!!

Instead work on being the best version of yourself and in any day just do the best you can and forgive yourself for the odd treat, things that didn’t get done and days that don’t go according to plan!!

Life is short - live well!! ###

Good morning and welcome to Friday – you made it!!

So some of you may need to be thinking about how to handle certain people or family members in the weeks ahead.

Just try to remember – not all actions require your reaction!!

You are not obliged to react or respond to everything other people do or say – sometimes its better to just let it go!

We have to choose our battles and choose how to expend our energy and choose who we want to be in any moment.

Nothing is more important than your peace, your nervous system will thank you for chosing distance over disrespect and peace over drama.

If you fear repeating patterns or behaviours from others – we can’t guarantee that that won’t happen but we sure as hell can choose how we want to manage it next time!!

So don’t let others dictate how you are going to feel, think, speak or act – be pro active and take the lead!

Keep your distance, minimise your time spent with toxic people and make sure that you are super kind to yourself to balance out any exposure!! xx

Good morning gorgeous people!

Well there doesn’t seem to be a road without delays or traffic lights right now!

Tempers and patience are fraying as time gets shorter and demands are growing!

Those who are under challenge right now are also facing the frustration of not being able to get anything done as we get closer to the holidays and availability is disappearing fast!

So if someone is snappy or short with you show some grace and compassion – we don’t know what they are going through right now – that includes being kind to yourself!!

Some of the strongest people paint on their smile, put on their fine masks and face the world on days presenting as fine but feeling like they are screaming inside.

Appearances can be deceptive!

Sending supportive hugs to everyone who is struggling right now xx

Good morning lovely ones!!

So there is a lot of overthinking going on right now!!

People have lists of their lists, boats being cancelled, uncertainty - all of these add to the pressures and stresses people are managing right now!!

What if, should I, do we need .....

Our thoughts are trying to help us, protect us but actually they can just hijack and sabotage us!

So just make sure that you are the boss of them and when all those thoughts come don't try to block them instead just thank them but ask yourself - is this something I need to consider right now - is this what I need right now - or what would be more helpful to me right now?

Acknowledge thoughts, consider them and put them aside or act on what you consider important.

Unless we manage our thoughts these are the things that keep us awake at night and flood our dreams!!

You don't need a night dreamng about turkey!! ###

Good morning lovely people!!

So a huge THANK YOU to everyone who was kind enough to post and contact me about yesterdays post!

To be contacted by so many wonderful people from so many parts of the work many of whom go back so many years and many of whom are still on my life now is truly humbling!!

I think that speaks for itself in how wonderful life becomes when you surround yourself with good people!

I feel truly blessed to have worked with you, laughed with you, sometimes cried with you!

I won’t lie there were tears yesterday!

From my heart and soul thank you and I hope you will all stay around for the next chapter!

Big hugs and much love ###

Good morning and welcome to a brand new week lovely people!

So my boss took me out for a Christmas lunch at the Boat House yesterday.

I know we have already had the annual Christmas staycation dinner party but you have to make the most of life!!

Actually it was an anniversary party. 25 years ago – quarter of a century ago – I started Inspired by Tina Chatterley.

My goal was to run a bu****it free, values driven business to provide clients with support at the point of need and to put people ahead of profit.

You can imagine how well that went down with people who said I would never last!

However here we are 25 years later still passionate about people and still with a roof over my head!

People often envy the way I work and it makes me smile. In the early years it was working three jobs and six days a week and delivering courses until 10pm.

This is not the career to go into if you are looking for fame, fortune or looking to make fast money!

However if you are looking to play a tiny part in being able to contribute to good people being able to put the pieces of their lives back together and you feel more reward from someone smiling again, functioning again and looking forward to life again than having designer clothes, posh cars or an expensive lifestyle – then I highly recommend it!!

It is an honour and a privilege to have met so many incredible people over so many years who have no idea just how strong and special they are - no wonder I have no problem getting up for work in the morning!

So here is to the next chapter and for carrying on for as long as I feel I have value to add! Xx

Oh I also realised that I had not updated my photo for years so keeping it real, time to update, wrinkles and all as I don’t want to scare new clients with the reality versus a photoshopped thing – not that I know how to do that!! ###
