For 2017 I will be offering you some coaching techniques that you might like to try to help you create a happier life. They will be offered via this blog so that they are free to whoever would like them.
I may not necessarily post every day. I will post when ideas come to me.
Please feel free to share these posts with anyone that you think might benefit from them.
This year I am focusing on 'Gratitude' and so I thought I would kick things off here by thinking about some of the things and people I am grateful for right now.
I aim to write down three things/people that I am grateful for every day. I have been doing this for a while now and have found it very beneficial. I prefer to physically write them down in a journal. That really help me to focus.
Today I am grateful for:
1. Free blogging sites.
They provide a means for getting our messages out to other people even if we have limited funds. I love blogging and am very happy that so many people read my posts and gain enjoyment from them.
2. Dogs!
As many of you know, I love dogs. They are generally funny, friendly and very appreciative of the small things in life. As I get older, I realise that the small things really are the big things. Dogs know this and are teaching us too!
3. My loved ones.
I won't embarrass you all by listing you all here but I bet you know who you are. I try not to take for granted that I have friends, colleagues and family who 'get' me and are there for me. I really appreciate you all.
Try making a list of the things and people that you are grateful for. You could look back over 2016 and list as many things as you can, actually writing them down or you could simply reflect on the first few things/people that come into your mind.
The more you think about the things that you are grateful for, the more things and people you discover that you have to be grateful for.
Try it for yourself.
It definitely works.

Happy New Year!
