When you feel anxious or stressed it can be difficult to think of anything else other than the situation that is causing the tension. Whether your negative thoughts focus on work, relationship, parenting or financial problems, they can easily consume every waking hour and disrupt your sleep. Learning how to let go and declutter these thoughts from your mind by using mindfulness techniques can help you manage your stress more effectively so you can start living in the moment.

When faced with a problem that is all consuming, try as you might to occupy your mind with something else, it always...

You may have heard the saying, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” This has never been truer than when it comes to success. Without a plan, you lack direction and without goals or a plan of action, you have nothing to measure your success against.

Once you have made the decision to set your goals, many people get overly excited and jump straight in to working towards it without any tangible long-term plan. It often results in a fast burnout and no real sense of achievement because you haven’t considered how you’re going to maintain your ability to commit to your...

The New Year is a time when most of us reflect on our lives, the year gone by and the one ahead. It is a time when a lot of us think about the changes we want to make to our lives, how we would have done things differently and what we can do to improve our lives for the future.

If you find yourself reflecting on your life, the decisions you have made, the opportunities you missed or the changes you can make to improve your life, ask yourself where you want to be in twelve months. Answering this question honestly will help you to identify the goals you want to achieve so you can start living...

It can be easy to overlook the successes you have achieved when you are caught up in the day to day running of your business. This is why it is important to spend time at the end of the year to sit down and review your success.

From the moment you decided to start your own business you will have had a series of goals in your mind, such as making the first sale, securing your first client or beginning to market your business. In the grand scheme of things these may seem like small achievements, but all achievements regardless of their size should be acknowledged and celebrated. It is the...

As another year draws to an end, it can be easy to fall into the trap of feeling that another year has flown by and you have achieved very little or that you are no closer to realising or achieving your lifelong ambitions. What you may not realise is, that the end of the year is a great time to reflect on the achievements you have made and gives you the ideal opportunity to set goals for the year ahead.

First things first: it is important to evaluate where you currently are and whether you feel you have accomplished everything you set out to in 2015. If the answer is yes, then celebrate...

With the festive period only a matter of weeks away, it may already seem like your to do list is bigger than old Saint Nicks himself! Unlike Santa, you may not have an army of elves to help with your workload, but you do have organisation and planning tools to help you get through this busy time.

Any mum who works will tell you how hard it can be to manage time and to-do tasks in the build up to Christmas. As a mumpreneur it can be even harder, as you are juggling the stress of running your own business, finding quality family time and preparing for Christmas.
