Ah, all good things must come to an end.

Ah, life: it’s always about balance in the end.

The easiest way to understand what vulnerability is, is that feels uncomfortable, and often is about doing the thing that’s the opposite of what you normally do. Not the opposite of every little thing – but changing those behaviours that are designed to protect you, yet somehow only seem to create more problems in the long run. Eep! Why would you wan to do that? Well, in this episode we unpack: 🌱  Why getting vulnerable leads to more growth and connection 🌱  How to recognise which behaviours create walls around you, and 🌱  Ideas on how you can make it easier for yourself to practice vulnerability and show up as your true self. Being vulnerable can feel super scary, but getting to show up as your true self is a great act of self love that leads to deeper connections and being seen and heard more fully. It’s worth the risk!

When good things happen, what do you tell yourself? That it’s a fluke, or just the norm for you? Do you think that your successes are a result of who you are, or just random chance? The attribution style you have, and how you apply it, can shift your mood dramatically – whether what you’re facing is ultimately good for you, or not good for you. It’s time to learn about attribution styles and how to best use them to your advantage. In this week’s podcast: 🌱  What attribution styles are 🌱  The three elements of attribution: personal, pervasiveness and permanent 🌱  Changing your attribution style depending on whether the event your facing is positive or negative.   Understanding attribution styles and using them to your advantage can help minimise the impact of negative experiences and maximise the joy you get from positive experiences.

Within any workplace, or anywhere people get together, there’ll be some people you love, and some you just struggle to connect with. What can you do to improve your sense of connection and communication with people who are different to you?

I recently read ‘How to do nothing’ by Jenny Odell, which reminded me that when you’re feeling stuck, unsatisfied and restless (something I’ve definitely felt since returning from France!) it may be a better strategy to change what you’re focussing on, rather than thinking your whole life (or large parts of it) need to change before you’ll feel more content. Honestly, the best life will be a combination of both, but most people, myself included, tend to get overly focussed on the circumstances, and forget about the power of attention in determining our happiness. The podcast episode covers: 🌱  Why it makes sense to put more time into focussing where your attention goes, and less into trying to change your circumstances. 🌱  What you need to do first to successfully be able to re-direct your attention. 🌱  Ideas on how you can re-focus your attention to create a more satisfying and enjoyable life for yourself. If you’re currently feeling unhappy with your life, and have been working on changing the external world as a way of feeling better, then I’d encourage you to try changing where your focus goes instead. It’s actually a more powerful predictor of your mood than where you are in the world!   If you’d love to learn more about mindset changes that’ll help you feel great about your life, then download my ‘3 super easy ways to end overwhelm (that require zero extra time!)’ guide.

I hadn’t heard the term ‘job crafting’ until last week, but the core of job crafting aligns with both advice I give others, as well as advice I’ve been given, so I’m excited to discover it has a name, and a process! Job crafting is three-pronged approach to help you to change how you feel about your work (whether that’s a job, or your own business) without actually needing to change much about what you do. If you’d like to feel more satisfied with how you earn your money, this episode is for you! The podcast episode covers: 🌱  The three areas of your job that you can adjust to increase your satisfaction, and ideas on how to do this. 🌱  What Amy Wrzesniewski’s research into job crafting, showed and how she found that this process works for even the most restrictive jobs. 🌱  Applying this to other areas of your life to increase satisfaction there too! If you’ve been feeling a bit flat at work, and sick of some of your responsibilities, then today’s episode will give you lots of great ideas on how you can feel invigorated and interested in your work again.

In it, I share my own experiment in using curiosity and self-compassion when procrastinating, and how you can use what I found out, to better manage your own procrastination. The podcast episode covers: 🌱  The importance of not criticising yourself, but instead asking ‘why’ and getting curious about procrastination. 🌱  What I found (and I think you will too!) about the real reasons you procrastinate. 🌱  How knowing the real reasons will free you from procrastination and allow you to take consistent action in the direction of your goals and dreams. If you struggle with procrastination and know all the tips and tricks already, I think you’ll really benefit from this episode. Once you understand the true cause of your procrastination, and clear it, you’ll easily be able to use those tips and tricks that never worked for you before.

If you’re anything like me, you tend to think of self-care as separate from work, and something to fit in around the demands and responsibilities of work, as well as your other roles in life.

During the last six months, I’ve only been working from home. And as a result, I noticed I was taking more micro-breaks – it just made sense to put on a load of washing, or grab a snack, whenever my brain needed a break.

The desire to be productive is something I’ve felt, in varying degrees, throughout my life. It was low when we were overseas, and I knew that all I had to ‘do’ to be successful was absorb the experience, and it’s been highest when my confidence has been low, and when my children were small and it felt like there was always more to be done, particularly if I wanted to be a great mum, and still work on my career.
