Why am I feeling stuck? Overcoming internal resistance and exploring options

Are you feeling stuck right now? Have you taken time to notice how you react to suggestions, new possibilities and different options? You might be struggling with what I call the "instant no"? Or perhaps more accurately, it's not so much of a hard no (because we're also the people who often find it tricky to set clear boundaries). It's probably more of a "hmm, not sure that's for me", a "but what if.." or a "that's beyond me; [...]

Battling Perfectionism – When Enough is Enough!

The battle with "enough" is a regular one for my clients - the eager entrepreneurs, the diligent employees, and those more comfortable with being hard on themselves than cheering themselves on. And wow, it's a huge topic - definitely one for all of us struggling with perfectionism (though I now class myself as an "almost" recovered perfectionist). So I'm sure I'll return to it again in these blogs, but let's make a start here: How to know when [...]

Or at least I’m a pretty much recovered procrastinator, and I’m happy to share with you how I did it. If you’re struggling to get your good intentions to stick, to tick things off that to-do list, and to do the things you know you’ll feel better for doing, [...]

Goal setting

“For God’s sake Emma, stop procrastinating and do some bl**dy work!”

These were the words semi-shouted at me by my exasperated dissertation supervisor back in 2005. The discussion had followed the usual pattern – me highlighting all my ideas and then listing all the excuses why I hadn’t done a thing!
