No matter how much you’re looking forward to time off work with friends, family or loved ones, the holidays can be a stressful season. It’s becoming easier to get caught up in the hype around the holidays when it comes to spending too much money, throwing ourselves 100% into our resolutions, and partying like it’s our last chance at a big hurrah.

With as many as one in four of us feeling like we spend too much each Christmas, and an overwhelming 80% of us failing at our resolutions by...

If you find your mind wandering from one thing to another when you should be getting a piece of work done - you’re not alone. Our society is fast paced and full of information, where a quick check of social media can spiral into hours of lost time.

Regaining your focus will help you be more productive, yes, but the important point here is to listen to yourself and work with your energy levels. Sometimes we can’t focus because our minds are telling us they need a break.

Here we share...

There are never enough hours in the day, are there? Between work, commuting, family affairs and a social life (what social life?), our day-to-day lives can feel pretty hectic.

Well, the thing is, we all have 24 hours in each day. We might not be able to magic any more minutes or hours into your day, but what we can do is help you to work with the time that you do have.

Think about it. If you work eight hours per day and sleep eight hours per day, you have eight hours per day for...

Whether it’s a new term or you simply want to introduce healthier patterns/habits, modelling a healthier work-home balance for kids and teens can help them learn the best ways to reduce stress and handle pressure from deadlines. By showing a more healthy, sustainable balance between our work and home lives, we can also show our kids how to work through any emotional upset from their day, while practising what we preach about relaxation and self-care.

According to research revealed by...

The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) have launched ‘Scroll Free September’, a month-long campaign to help us negotiate a happier relationship with our phone and social media.

While the initiative is aimed at everyone, it’s especially looking to target young people after their 2017 #StatusOfMind report revealed some worrying statistics. Some key findings from the report include:

91% of those aged 16-24 use the Internet for social networking. Rates of anxiety and depression...

We’ve all been there. You’ve hit a crossroads in life and are faced with a number of different choices. Some may feel risky, scary even, while others feel safe and comfortable. Knowing which way to go can be difficult, especially when we start to torture ourselves with ‘what ifs’.

Whether it’s figuring out if you should quit your job or knowing if moving abroad is the right choice for you, decision making can bring out our inner critic, telling us we “can’t do it” or that we’ll “fail”....

We could all do with an extra little boost to help inspire and motivate us from time to time. Whether you’re stuck in a creative rut, are looking for a little more confidence to make a career leap, or aren’t sure how to start making time in your routine for more self-care, balance, and wellbeing, there’s a podcast out there that can help.

We’ve put together a quick list of some of the top free inspirational and motivational podcasts available through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and...

“There is nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so don’t expect yourself to do so either”. This is a favourite quote of ours here at Life Coach Directory. It serves as a reminder that we need seasons of rest in order to bloom.

This idea of different seasons in our life and embracing the idea of flux (flow and change) is an important one, not only for our personal lives, but for our careers.

There is somewhat of a trend online, and especially in the entrepreneur space, that in...

Friendships can add so much richness to our lives, helping us feel connected, heard and valued. When friendships are thriving, they feel easy. You feel revitalised after spending time with them and know at its core, the friendship is true.
