Why didn’t I do this sooner?

This question was the theme of my summer in 2019. I put off tasks because they seemed too difficult, too laborious or because I just didn't know how to begin solving the problem.

"That wasn't the reaction I expected!”

Whether it’s with partner, coworker, friend or family member, we’ve all had moments like this. Moments where a seemingly normal adult conversation becomes a tense exchange. It’s easy to get drawn into a defensive back and forth. Here I explain how 3 Ps can help you have the impact you intended.

We can all get on a bit of a downer sometimes. That’s only natural and it happens to everyone from time to time. The important thing though, is how we explain how we explain those down times to ourselves. This is the difference between having a bad day and sliding in a bad week or month. There are three thoughts we tell ourselves about these moments that will make any bad time worse. The good news is that knowing this, and doing something about it, can lift you out of funk pretty quickly too.

So to finish off last years book blogging I've decided to give you an overview of the ones that didn't quite make it.
