It's a New Year and time for a New You with help from Experience Matters	Website Home
Happy New Year! And a great 2010! We all know that we can't predict the cards that will be dealt to us during the year but we can without doubt change how we respond to them. I was struck by this thought pre Xmas when the snow came down and changed many people's festive season. It was easy to become gloomy and anxious rather than focusing on what we have got and how to make it work for us. We have planned at Experience Matters a number of events for just this purpose - to help us enjoy the year ahead to the full. We all know that as well as the pleasure of spending time with our family over the festive season it can add a lot of strain! I remember when my kids were small and I was exhausted just looking after them and worrying if they had enough sleep and the right food etc, someone saying, 'you think you have problems now, wait till they're are older!' I don't think I fully agree with that, the problems, when they come are different for sure, but worse? I can't say so. What I have noticed is that now they are older there is little - well in truth nothing- I can do about their willfulness! Negotiation was certainly the key to happy relationships in our house! Our 'relationships' workshop is just the answer for anyone who wants to rekindle any of their relationships or start anew. I ended the year with a great piece in Good Housekeeping magazine. I had a fab day with a stylist, makeup artist, journalist and photographer in my home. They dressed me in gorgeous clothes and made me up to feel like a star. I must admit I don't look quite my best at the moment. I don't know if any of you, like me, have eaten and drunk just a bit too much over the festive season. I'm definitely going to have to get back into that exercise regime and change my eating habits. It is so easy to eat more and so much harder to reduce it! Both our Looking Good and Feeling Confident workshop on 6th March, and Health and Wellbeing workshop on 20th March will give you just the boost you need. We also offer one to one sessions with myself or with our experienced coaches. Each one has a specialism that will help you to achieve your goals for 2010. Do take a look. If you haven't got any goals yet, then this is the perfect way to formulate some. It has been proven time and time again that the one thing the most successful people in all fields have in common, is goal setting. It's essential to know where you want to get to and keep your goal fixed using a variety of means to ensure that everything you do will help you to meet that goal and you can't go wrong. My second book 'Who's that sleeping in my bed? The art of relationships for grown-ups' is out in paperback this week. I was talking on regional radio on Tuesday and Thursday this week, and am 'reading the papers' on Radio London on Friday. I hope you can all tune in! If not do go http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/london/- as some of the programme will be there for you to listen again. We look forward to seeing many of you over the coming months. Have a good year!
