Sometimes we just need to RESET

Firstly, just let me say that I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and spent it with family, friends and significant others and much chocolate was consumed.

With the events of the past year and even the events in Brisbane just before Easter, it seemed like everyone was hanging out for the Easter break. It was almost as if it was a line in the sand, a chance to take a deep breath and reset our personal lives, our emotions, the time spent with others and to even catch up on some afternoon Nanna Naps.

Well, we are back, and the question is, how are we going to use that regained energy and also make sure we don’t get to that point of exhaustion again. I think a lot of it is totally within our control. In other words, we can:

• Bring back into our lives, and appreciate, the things that we really enjoy
• Learn to say NO!
• Stop resenting the things that you have to do, but rediscover their value
• Re-introduce gratitude back into our lives on a daily basis
• Start to focus on the good in people and situations – you will find it if you look
• When you are critical or negative, be aware of the damage being done and STOP mid-sentence
• Love lots and then a bit more!

I know to some, these points may seem a bit gushy, but I challenge you to introduce them into your life; you will be amazed how different you then think, speak and behave.

The next three months will be challenging and exciting all at the same time, but we all have the ability to RESET, if we choose to.

So, I encourage you to take up the challenge and use the benefits of this short break to your advantage, before we are overwhelmed again.

Have an awesome week!
