No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted—Aesop
Two things have struck a chord within me in the last 24 hours…
The first is the quote to the right, which was in a newsletter sent out by my coach Jennie (you can read some of her Tips here). The second was a sentiment expressed by my colleague – that “volunteering and supporting our community is essential throughout the year. It’s not just for Christmas!”
And as I look forward to celebrating Christmas day with some dear friends, and sharing the festive spirit with my loved ones, it makes me wonder whether my acts of kindness sometimes come with strings attached…

With just one week to go the festive period is already in full swing. Now is your change to blow everything that you’ve worked so hard for over the last year……..
Well of course that’s what everyone is saying to each other to justify the over eating, drinking, late nights and everything that comes with the holiday.
Now at ActionPodcast, we certainly don’t want you to think we are total kill-joys, but it would be great if you recognised that you do have a choice.
During this podcast Paul and Chris give some amazing tips that make it really easy to have a fantastic Christmas, without the repercussions. Read more of this article »

If you are anything like me then the experience of going shopping in the lead up to Christmas can be a pretty stressful activity. Aside from the chaos and overwhelm of so many people jostling about, or trying to find the perfect presents without breaking the budget, or organising food for the festive season – there’s also the stress of family get-togethers, dealing with adverse weather conditions and the risk of over-indulgence in food or drink or both!
Feeling a bit fed up with Christmas already? Does festive cheer seem to pass you by each year? For a lot of people this time of year is filled with nothing but bad memories of a time gone by.
Having this kind of past experience can really put a downer on your mood and even worse, start to bring down the loved ones around you.
Now is the chance you have been waiting for to start having the Christmas and New Year celebrations you may feel you’ve been missing out on. Read more of this article »

So by this New Year you will already be working towards the new you that you promised yourself last year!
