When challenges happen

When challenges happen?


How do you react when challenges happen?

I used to explore, scream and shout. 

Over the last few years while working on my behaviour, I realised that this was my chimp, because we felt out of control. 

Tonight my computer as stopped working, which is frustrating because I have so much work to do. Can I control the situation No, but I can control how I react to it. 

I am typing this blog from my phone, so I can keep on track with a blog a day.

I still have times when frustration kicks in with not being in control, but over all I manage the chimp well. 

I will explain more about the chimp in future blogs, but for now, I will go and read a book and have an IT free evening. 😀

Happy New Year

  Happy New Year, I wish you an amazing year for 2022, full of a great health, well-being and adventures. I know that is my plan for this year. My name is Jo Brown, I am a woman who is over 50, a mum to 2 sons and a well-being coach. I love the outdoors and the benefits that nature brings to you. I walk my dog Nala every morning, love hiking and I am currently training for the Pennine Way, canoeing, kayaking, camping in a tent or in my van and generally just living my life to the full.   My goal for the new year is to start a regular blog and share information that will support women over the age of 35  who are lost, overwhelmed and unfulfilled to achieve finding their best self, so they know what their values are so they can learn to trust themselves without feeling they have to live their life to other people’s values. The topics will include  various ways of improving your well-being.   The subjects the blog will cover are the following: Being Self ...

A weekend of adventure and fun

  A weekend of adventure and fun. The last 2 weekends have been full of adventure, fun and challenge. Meeting lots of new people who have met over the last 2 years on Facebook in a group that offers the spirit of adventure. This weekend it definitely did. A few members from the group set off to Keswick to join the Festival of Light that was being held on Saturday night.  I arrived on the Friday night at the YHA in Keswick (definitely worth a stay), started with a chill before the rest of the group came back from having a meal and spent time getting to know each other. When they came back to the YHA, we had lots of chat and laughs, continuing to get to know each other.  Saturday plans We eventually went to sleep, I woke at 5.30am and got ready for a day of walking, we had an offer of paddleboarding or a walk around Derwent Water a 10 mile walk. With my challenge in August of walking the Pennine Way, I decided the walk was for me. In the evening the plan was to walk to and ...

6 Human Needs

Image
The six human needs Tony Robbins identified the six human needs that we require to ensure we are motivated to fulfil and are the basis that we make choices are the following:   The first four needs are the needs of the personality also known as the EGO and they are needs that a human must have met on a daily basis. Certainty – A need for safety, stability, comfort, order, predictability, control and consistency Uncertainty/variety – the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change and novelty These 2 are like a see saw and work with each other, if you get too much certainty, you will get bored and if you get to much uncertainty, you will crave a bit more certainty of predictability Significance – the need to have a meaning, to be special, unique, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance, worthy of love and respect Love/connection – the need for communication, unified, approval, attachment, intimacy, to be loved by other ...
