Well I must say that I am feeling very relaxed. I came back from a ten day holiday in the sun last week. Seven days with my family and then four days taking some time out on my own. I find holidays so reflective and always feel that I come back wiser than I went. How does that work if you are really relaxed and not thinking a great deal? Well think about it. No don’t - you don’t need to…that’s my point.

Sometimes the most insightful observations and ideas pop into your head when you are not actively thinking about stuff. Try it…if you are at a point in the day where you don’t need to think then don’t think. Switch off the thinking. It also has the added benefit of being very calming. It’s great. Very simple, very effective, but also harder than you think when you decide to stop thinking J

I must admit to taking half a day doing some work on my business whilst I was away. I often do this. I like to work when my mind is calm and settled. Good stuff comes out. I’m still beavering away on my secret project, which you will learn more about over the next few months.

Also, there are some blog entries and new web pages on my site that I wanted to alert you to.

• Beware: “Spur of the moment” Career Moves & Business Decisions - this is all about the risks of making quick decisions on your career or business without really thinking them through. Very risky (especially in these times). Worth a read if your mind has a tendency to go there.
• How I got into Life Coaching and Business Coaching - I am repeating myself time and time again in emails responding to people asking “Darren, how did you get into Life Coaching and Business Coaching?” - so I thought I would write a blog entry on the subject.
• Life Coaching Part Time - Would you like to transform people’s lives or businesses whilst earning a significant additional income through life coaching on a part time basis? Take a look at this web page.

I hope that 2010 is going well for you. If you are struggling to get traction on any of your goals or you are still to get things set out for 2010 remember that it’s not too late.
