The website's live - better late than never they say. It's fantastic to be up and running and I have got over the disappointment of missing my original deadline.

Today I want to answer a question regarding the website - " What are the hills about?". Well they are my feel good "anchor". A while ago when I was so very unhappy with my job I would drive home feeling very despondent and questioning what I was doing. On the way home I come to a certain point on the road and see the most fantastic view (the photo does not do it justice) and it just evokes the most wonderful feelings in me. These hills kept me going and would enable me to get home and be in the right frame of mind to be with my family.

"Anchoring" is a technique used by NLP practitioners , but we all have our own anchors already. Think about what triggers good feelings in you, it may be a photo, piece of music, a smell or using quick visualisations. Use them to help you refocus into a more positive frame of mind and bring a different perspective to negativity at work. If I am driving to a difficult meeting I will listen to a Mozart bassoon concerto in the car, I can't help but smile and feel more creative. The result is that I go into the meeting more optimistic and see the results.

Until next time

Catherine
