“The Pause is the full stop that allows us to consider the next sentence of our life” Danielle North

Around the end of December my husband and I sit down with our family calendar, take a look back at the year and reflect on what’s happened.

Where did we go? What did we do? What were the big events and the little memories (we are always astonished at how much we have already forgotten about!)?

I am the proud owner of a standing desk. I’ve had it for about 6 weeks now and I LOVE it.

I stand up to coach and feel both more grounded and more flexible. I am less tired at the end of the day - less crunched up.

I get a ridiculous sense of joy when I press the button to move it up and down!

So, how did I make the decision to get one?

When you need to make an important decision, what comes up for you?

Do you agonise over the choices, worrying about what will happen if you make the wrong one?

Do you instinctively know which one feels right, but can’t quite bring yourself to make the final call?

Does it feel like you are stuck in the same thought cycle of pros and cons?

Does it sometimes feel as though your to do list is never ending?

That as fast as you tick something off, new actions are crowding their way in?

That you’ll never get to the end of it?

You’re not alone.

Do you ever find it hard to explain something that has had a big impact on you? An experience? A great book? An idea?

Perhaps you’ve found yourself describing it in detail to someone, only to realise you’re not communicating it well at all?

I have been working with my current coach (the calm, clear, completely fabulous Sue Belton) for the last 6 months. Throughout that time, I have been singing her praises to everyone I meet.

I love working with her.
