Between social media ‘time spent’ popups, articles flooding the news, and the introduction of screentime monitoring applications as standard across many phones, it’s hard to go a day without encountering something or someone that has an opinion on how long we’re spending on our phones.

It’s easy to feel judged for how we use our phones - sometimes, with good reason. One study unveiled millennials check their phones up to 150 times each day. Other generations aren’t close to those...

It’s hard to deny: we’re all (well, most of us) a bit overly attached to our phones. Can you remember the last time you went somewhere without yours? I can’t. On average, we each check our phones more than 85 times across the day (with some studies putting that number as high as 150 times across the day for us millennials).

Have you ever stopped to consider why you’re constantly checking your phone? Is it for work, to keep up with friends and family? Maybe it’s just boredom or the fear...

Do you find yourself snapping, barking and in general, reacting aggressively over small little things? Are you the person in the office or at home that everyone is tip-toeing around? What's driving this irritability? Many common things can upset our mood. Maybe it's the cold winter weather, maybe you're 'hangry' (Yes, that's a real thing!) or maybe you've just had too many espressos today.  But the number one reason by far is lack of sleep. Sleep is one of the most essential things to...

We’ve all been there. As the year comes to a close, we are filled with emotion for what could have been and ambition for what could be. We then start to reflect on all the things we would like to change in the coming year. And as the count down to the new year begins so begins the count of all the goals for the year ahead.

This is the year I am going to lose the weight. This is the year I am finding a job I love. This is the year I am going to find him (or her).

And so it goes....

We’ve all been there. Stuck in a rut. Same old routine. Day in day out. Now, whilst some routine is always present, indeed probably welcomed, when your whole life becomes the same, you’ll probably end up feeling quite down and demotivated. It happens to everyone and can happen for many reasons although fear and limiting beliefs are often implicated. Managing limiting beliefs is the subject of another article I’ve written that you’ll find on the Life Coach Directory....

The New Year is here and represents the perfect time for you to overhaul your life and endeavour to be the best version of yourself that you can be. A life coach is the best person to help you do this, but not everyone is ready to take this step. If you’re not quite ready to employ a life coach, I’ve come up with a six-step development plan that you can do on your own, in the comfort of your own home. This program is easy to do and will deliver you real results. You will need a...

The clocks were going back at the weekend, and Bob had decided to use the end of daylight savings as a marker to re-start his fitness regime. Over the past ten months, since his aborted attempt to create a regular gym routine for himself, he’d bemoaned his ever increasing waistline and gradual decline in energy. Bob knew he wanted to be fitter, and this time he was going to do it right. He knew he had to set a goal, so he’d set his sights on the local 10k in February. That gave him...

Of the three issues in the title, only one of them is within our control - but I do know that if you eliminate the one we can control, the self-care, then the other two things can have a much worse effect on us. It’s fair to say that self-care is the buzzword of the year, but I’d like to suggest that it is trending for a reason. When we take ownership of our self-care, the things that can bring us down; from stress and all its side effects to family drama and work issues, become...
