Live The Life You Dream Of…

I wrote a short tip on clearing e-mails once a week last weekend on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/AnamayaLifeCoaching) and it seems to have struck a chord with a few people so am writing a longer blog on a few ways of how I am making my e-mail life easier and hopefully it will do the same for you:)

1. Turn off the sound indication that an e-mail has arrived in your inbox. The sound will distract you away from whatever it was you were working on, even if you do not check your inbox immediately.

2. If you can, have an e-mail time daily of when you check and reply to e-mails -this way you do not constantly check and reply during the day.

If it is too short for you to just have one hour during the day, then do one hour/30 mins in the morning and one hour/30 mins in the evening.

3. Do a weekly deep cleanse if any e-mails are still in your inbox which need replying to, need filing or just need deleting.

4. When you have set aside e-mail time, it will be easier for you to reply back immediately to an e-mail when you have read it instead of dealing with it later.

5. If there is nothing you can do with the e-mail, i.e. a marketing e-mail/offer you do not want, then delete it straight away and stop it clogging your inbox and cluttering your mind

6. Once you have replied to an e-mail then file it.

Review your filed e-mails monthly/quarterly to make sure your computer is working at the optimal speed and you do not have too many saved e-mails which are slowing the computer down.

7. If you are subscribed to too many e-mail newsletters and do not get the chance to read them, then unsubscribe. If that person/newsletter is meant to be in your life, you will get the chance to subscribe again in the future.

I hope these tips help you a bit and if you have your own, then please do add them to the comments – it is always good to know what people do to simplify their e-mail lives and this can help everyone:)

Happy February!

Well what a month January was! With snow keeping us inside, I feel as though I’ve only had three weeks of the new year so far!! I know a lot of you have experienced the same and I am still talking about setting 2010 goals with people everyday. My next teleworkshop – a conference call, so you can be in the comfort of your home – on goal setting will be Saturday 20th February 10-11am. You will get all the handouts by e-mail which we will work through on the call and an individual 15 minute session afterwards. The cost of the teleworkshop is only £10 and it really will steer you in the right direction for achieving those goals or resolutions this year.

Our LIFEstival is fully under way now with our marketing and getting stands booked. If you would like to be a business sponsor and feature on our website, leaflets and flyers and have your company information displayed throughout the weekend, then please get in touch. 50% of all our proceeds will be to the Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, who provide much-needed care and support for families when a child develops a life-limiting illness. For more information see the website www.lifestivaluk.com.

I was also interviewed for Diverse Ethics in January. Diverse Ethics is a social enterprise which provides expert information, training and a consultancy service for public and private organisations. For the full interview and more information about Diverse Ethics see http://www.diverseethics.com/article/interviews/voices/binditherapist

A new year always makes me think about moving forward and growth. But what about the events, habits and feelings you cannot let go of and which are restricting and limiting your growth? If you find yourself in this situation of frequently looking back or remembering things which have hurt you, then now is the time to let this hurt go and move forward for the future.

A brilliant technique of letting go is to write down the event which is sticking in your mind. By writing it down, you are letting it leave your mind and go onto the paper instead. Then tear the paper up and throw it away…this way you have let go of the event. Try it, believe me it does work

Have a lovely rest of the month and ’see’ you in March!
