Find Out What Type of Worker You Are....

Would you agree there are three types of people in Business!!

 A Busy Bee

This is the person who constantly stresses themselves out by running around with paper, working whilst on holiday and constantly checking their email!! They look like work-a-holics, but in actual fact,they get very little work done. They end up burning themselves out and sometimes can even end up lashing out at others. You see, what ends up happening is that their colleagues perceive these busy bees as being able to get the most done so what happens is that people assign more work to them. This results in work only being half done because the busy bee doesn’t have the appropriate time needed for the task. The result is that people end up giving the most work to those who are least effective.

Sooo.....This is why busy bees and work-a-holics are bad for organizations. They can eventually end up hurting companies..even their own!

Are You a Busy Bee?

 A Lazy Bones


Are You a Lazy Bones?
A Lazy Bones is someone  that puts the blame on their external environment for a lot of things. In the back of their minds sits hope that they’ll one day succeed and hit that million-pound jackpot..Yet in the meantime, they fill their lives with activities that release dopamine. Activities such as TV, endless coffee breaks, video games, surfing the internet and consuming instead of producing! Are these your habits? Do you want to achieve your dreams, but instead your mind craves dopamine derived from reading sports, news, blogs and fashion. Getting out of this state and into the state below is what you should be aiming for!



  A Sage 

Are You a Sage?
A Sage is someone that doesn’t involve themselves in dopamine-driven activities; instead, he or she is very selective about what they do. They have a habit of asking themselves questions that most people are too busy to ask. They pre-occupy themselves with the unspoken, yet meaningful assumptions that others fail to address. Sages ask questions about the meaning behind any activity that they embark on. They view turning down work as a logical decision, not an emotional one. They even say no to their bosses in a strategic way. In order to become a Sage, you must become indispensable to your organization.


Of course, when it comes to business, nobody is indispensable, even the MD and founder can be replaced!

Sooo....By becoming indispensable, don t you think you must be economically indispensable. Meaning, to the economy of the company you work for or your own business, you must be indispensable. In other words, you, yourself, can generate monetary value wherever you go–even if you work for yourself.

The most empowering feeling is knowing you can land a job at any time, or just make money for yourself whenever you want to. A true sign of being indispensable is not a pat on the back from a boss. It’s not a bonus or a raise. A true sign of being indispensable comes from making money on your own and getting job offers even when you’re not looking for a job.

It ´s Never Too Late to Change!!
 In summary....in order to be a Sage, you must earn it. You must earn it by being economically indispensable! Create Time For Your Life Today....Work towards being a Sage...You can do it!!

How Do You Relate to Your Mother and Your Daughter(s)?



Don´t you agree that our emotions be they subtle or volatile and how we handle them are completely different from one another...?
You see, we all feel our feelings differently. For instance, my mum and I are very different emotionally.
We have spent a long time getting to the point where I think we actually understand one another! She’s always been the calm, quiet one, and I’ve often confused her with my big emotional extremes and theatrical moods.
No surprise that we are two completely different emotional types!
However learning to acknowledge and appreciate our differences is something that can be challenging for both mothers and daughters. Even sisters with sisters and girlfriends with girlfriends!!
Wench of the Waterway?
Maid of the Mist?
Lady of the Loch?
Mermaid of the Sea...

We are all different emotional beings!!...
Sooo...Which one do you think relates best to you?

Wenches of the Waterways...
These girls are emotion in motion.
There is a subtle and constant stream of emotion that flows like a stream from one feeling to the next, often seamlessly.
They are remarkably even-tempered, with a great sense of fun.
If they learn to push their emotions into positive outlets, everything they touch takes on a certain shine.
Though their emotions aren’t predictable as such, they have patterns that are known to themselves and their loved ones, which are relatively consistent.
For example, a wench of the the waterway might know that romantic films always make her cry. She knows to never leave the house for  the cinema without a purse full of tissue.
Waterway Wenches laugh easily, and have great senses of humor, knowing innately how to cheer others and make them smile, just as brooks provide nourishment and sanctuary for all kinds of life.

Maids of the Mist..
Like the mist that comes and then departs, Maids of the Mist have feelings that come from out of nowhere, and then dissolve and vanish back into the mystery.
A Maid of the Mist can experience sudden emotional outbursts when logically she can’t make sense of why or where the feeling is coming from.


For instance, you could be in the middle of a conversation when suddenly out of nowhere a Maid of the Mists` eyes will be full of tears and you will be very surprised by the suddenness and intensity of her feelings.Then just as quickly the mist will evaporate, the sun will come out and she will be laughing and carrying on again.
It’s very important that Maids of the Mist do not judge themselves just because the emotion is so sudden.
Mist can refresh and renew and restore, especially in the mornings and then it can depart to make way for the sunshine. Maids of the Mist can also tend to brood, like storm clouds on the horizon.
Maids of the Mist are often moved by the emotional victories and stories of other people. They will cry or laugh for someone else’s win or loss, even total strangers, just as quickly as for themselves.

Ladies of the Loch...
Still waters run deep. Ladies of the Loch very rarely show their emotions on the surface.
They feel so deeply and so privately, that their emotions usually remain contained.
They are often referred to as calm or meditative individuals.
They express their feelings with a simple warm smile, or a silence that indicates their sorrow.
They are most comfortable showing their feelings when they are alone, or with someone they know intimately.
They are not ladies who repress their feelings, but ladies who reveal very little of what they feel on the surface.
Because they feel so deeply, they are often extremely connected to their environment, and prefer to be out in nature or somewhere beautiful and calm.
They also make great team players, and excel at sports that require significant concentration.
Ladies of the Loch  also  pick up the feelings of others and mirror them, or take them on as their own. This is the same way a loch mirrors a flock of birds flying overhead.
They are very impressionable.  Ladies of the Loch have to learn to build protective boundaries around themselves so they don`t absorb the emotions of others.

Mermaids of the Sea...
The sea is a vast and deep body of water, always changing color and mood.
This is the most complex and rich emotional temperament and also the most challenging.
Where a Wench of the Waterway or a Maid of the Mist might have one feeling at a time…
Mermaids of the Sea can feel ten ways at once, with many layers of emotions spreading in all directions.
There is a lot to sort through for Mermaids of the Sea.
They often feel overwhelmed. They are much like the sea. Every day is different.
Some days are calm and peaceful. Other days are crazy and wild. A Mermaid of the Sea can wake up in the morning from a night of dreams, and her whole day will carry the emotions from her sleep.
Like the sea, these mermaids are unpredictable,deep and mysterious.
Because their emotions can be so vast and unidentifiable, Mermaids of the Sea need music and dance and creativity to help them find and feel their feelings fully.
Talking with close friends also helps to ground the shape-shifting Mermaids of the Sea and help her identify what she feels.
Mermaids who become actors can lose themselves in their characters, completely embodying the role without a trace.
They have access to a great reservoir of feeling that informs their lives.
Soooo....Which Type are You?
I’m a Mermaid of the Sea, and my mum is a Lady of the Loch. Once we got to know how differently we process our feelings, our communication got a lot better.
Soooo...Which type are you?
Take time to enjoy thinking about this fascinating insight about yourself.
Take the steps to stop questioning the natural you, and Create Time For Your Life by celebrating all the beautiful ways you live and feel in the world.. 
Don´t forget that you’re perfect the way you are, no matter what emotional type you are!!

Are You a "Relief" Addict?




One of my favourite emotions is "relief".
.
Love is a choice or I would choose love...

However.....think about the glorious feeling around 
the word "relief."

Like when you can’t find your child in the supermarket 
and, after 5 minutes, suddenly see their little feet pop
out from the aisle round the corner. Phew!



"Or running around the house for 30 minutes, now very late for a business
meeting or an appointment and then .......finally finding your keys.....







Or that wonderful feeling when you realise you haven´t left your phone in the barafter all and that it s at the bottom !of your bag


Or your wallet is actually on the kitchen table and not lost on the way to the
office!


Don t you agree?

Relief gives us such a "kick" !!



However.....it should never be used as a substitute needed change.

Most  of us don’t change until we have to and so we thrive on relief when things 
“work out anyway.”


Dont you think  we should all look at how often we are getting a "relief" high!!

Sooo....!  What in your life needs to change today? 

Are you taking action that will lead to moving your forwards, or are you just trying
to "get a reprieve and settling for less so you can stay comfortable"?


Relief for relief’s sake will slow down your long-term success.

You will end up choosing behaviors that compromise your values just to “keep the peace”
and simply react to life like a pinball.


Soooo.....Create Time For Your Life TODAY!   


Stop rushing....slow down... take stock and don t be a relief addict!!
