Steps to Wellbeing
Are you ever uncertain about your next step? Do the surrounding currents and forces of your life take you off balance?
Are you struggling to trust your thoughts and instincts? Or are your searching for a better way to be at work, or in your personal life?
Does the way foward appear fuzzy?
Maybe you are a little apprehensive about the next steps to take?
Well that is pretty normal. From time to time we all need a little support and direction. That “someone” to listen to us and to truly hear us. An objective sounding board, who has skills and resources to help enable us to find balance, maybe some new ideas our best way foward. Someone to help us to focus on what we really want, and maybe sometimes what we don’t want!
elementas coaching helps by creating space for you to reflect.
Space to explore your thoughts, feelings and ideas.
Space to try out different tools and techniques to bring more clarity to your mind.
Space to articulate and focus on your goals and to manoeuvre the “bits in between” so you can rekindle your spirit and confidently take your next steps to flourish and “flow’ with life.
How does that sound?

Time to Think?
Do you ever give yourself enough time to stop and think? To reset your inner compass?
Life gets busy with work, family, friends and hobbies. Before we know it another year has gone. We may feel we are never going to do what we have dreamed about, that new project, new hobby or idea.
Coaching can help us focus. It can give use chance to articulate and make plans, sounding out our ideas. Coaching offers space to think about our intentions (what) and our motivations (why). Coaching conversations can help us become more mindful, more present and more aware of what is really important in the here and now.
And as they say in Tibet, ‘If you take care of the minutes, the years will take care of themselves.’
Wellness Messages- It’s All About You!
I was asked to speak on radio today about the subject I am ever so passionate about – Wellness.
The “It’s All About You” interview at RibbleFM went well thanks to Kath Lord-Green Founder and presenter who helped me relax. Kath does an amazing job.
Alongside I decided to run a small survey and ask Facebook friends and friends of friends what was important to them in their own wellness.
I’m keeping the survey going this week as we are getting great results.
323 Votes (3 each)
The top results so far are-
1) Having close, supportive, intimate relationships (friendships, family, partnerships) – 61 Votes
2) Regular movement and exercise, feeling alive – 58 Votes
2) Eating well – 39 Votes
The full interview should be available soon and I will post…not heard it yet.
Setting Your Direction of Travel
Do you know where you are heading? If not it may be time to stop, get your bearings and reset your inner compass.
Deciding where you want to be can sometimes be a little tricky! Especially if it feels like you are in the middle of a constant storm.
Taking time and space to assess your personal situation can make a big difference to your life. In giving yourself space in your schedule, you have chance to reflect upon your circumstances. Time to consider, your goals and to explore your current perceptions and reality versus your potential future.
And then, once you are more aware, more conscious, you will be better equipped to decide, what is your best way forward to your chosen destination? That may sound exciting, or scary. Or perhaps maybe even a little overwhelming? It can be, that is why we sometimes get lost or veer off course, pulled by the forces of our lifestyle choices and currents of our daily distractions.
How can coaching can help?
The coaching process is designed to help you unlock your potential. It offers you a personalised one-to-one support. A coach offers you a confidential space and acts as an objective sounding board. Coaching offers you a structured, professional process to help to work through your agenda. Your needs, wants and aspirations. The tools and practices are designed to help you free up you thinking, bringing new energy, and extra guidance to your decisions. Enabling you to unlock and harness your potential, so you can set sail confident it’s your best route of travel. Accompanied by tailored coaching support, motivation and guidance to help you keep on course.

Magical Postcards from Vienna
Did you know that the first Postcard was established in the Austria – Hungarian monarchy in 1869?
Today in Vienna, I learnt this new fact.
In the days before the instantaneous, digital delights of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc. Postcards enabled and encouraged people to send images across the world, creating connections.
In the spirit of delayed gratification, I believe Postcards still have a place today. I like to send them to friends, family and acquaintances to remind them that someone is thinking of them across the miles.
Postcards can connect people with new places and ideas. I have sent postcards from places like Bolivia, Africa, Mongolia- places people I know would never visit. They can remind others we are thinking of them, sharing positivity in our happy moments. Sometimes the postcard receiver may be feeling lonely, sad or isolated. Hopefully Postcards share delight bringing some light to their day.
Postcards are slower and take a little effort. We may have to rack our minds to remember the address or postcode! We will spend time choosing the appropriate design, buying the card and finding international stamps! Then comes thinking of the best words to write (in the small space), connecting our thoughts to the card through the art of the pen.
Finally finding a postbox can sometimes be a challenge! Then we trust and hope the postcard gets to its destination! Eventually!
When a handwritten Postcard glimmers on the post pile (amidst the junk mail and hum drum of bills and domestic administrative chores! ), I hope you agree a little magic is brought to the day! 
This Game of Wellness!
The 4 dimensions of wellness include Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual.
Here I am arriving in Vienna for a few days. Post to a weeks practical Wellness training near Olomouc in the Czech Republic (with colleagues from all over Europe).
The trainers were a doctor, a wellness practitioner and a gaming expert. We used experiential learning techniques to gain more insights into and richer understanding of wellness. I was able to benefit from learning across cultures and from the expertise of fellow practitioners, old and new friends.
An amazing experience. Lots to share!
