Back at the turn of the year I wrote on how I don’t believe in, or set new year resolutions.

But Spring … this is different.
So much new life out in nature,
The traditional time for a spring clean

So is now a good time to spring clean your wider life?

What is it that you can let go of? Not just things to take to the charity shop or for recycling, but also attitudes and beliefs – perhaps that you think you are too young or too old or that there is no point even trying, you will never get there.

Remember, you eat an elephant a bite at a time and any large goal can be broken down into tiny steps.

Making choices at this time of year, or any time-based milestone means that we will more likely succeed. It’s known as the Fresh Start Effect.
I’m going to write more on this each day, so for today why not give some thought on the things you want to let go of

·        Limiting ideas
·        People
·        Stuff
·        Accepting the situation at work
·        Putting other people first

I’ll leave it to you to make a note, and I’ll say more tomorrow.
