Sue Lindsay

In my 10th year of writing Constant Coaching Comments I have decided to hang up my Comments hat.

It has been a hard decision to let go and move on from what has been a labour of love and a connection to you. I hope you have found inspiration and guidance in my writings, as funnily enough, I often do when I look back and read them.

I am the end of an email should you wish to keep in touch, or in fact, need to reach out for a listening ear. Once a Coach always a Coach.

Our mood and attitude can have a HUGE effect on the people around us... a fact we often aren't aware of...

Watch yourself from a distance... the next time you feel grumpy and down... notice the response you receive from others...

This awareness can be the trigger to change your 'state'... and might even snap you out of the mood!

Keep the conversation light hearted and non-judgemental, then decide to make the effort needed to improve the relationship. You'll both feel great!!

How often do we spend too much time (and energy) focusing on the situations that we want but never seem to happen?...

The negative thoughts you give to these scenarios block the flow of what needs to happen first, before you actually get what you want...

It will take aforethought and patience, but if repeated often enough, it'll change the pattern.
