I notice how easily people tend to talk about love, when it concerns their football team, their kids, car or favourite clothes brand.

Ask them how much they love themselves (and this is a great coaching question) and suddenly they become tongue-tied.

Learning to love ourself is part of our lifelong journey and we can know that it’s okay to notice our skill, sigh with satisfaction at our goodness and generally fancy the hell out of ourselves.

Whatever we carry, we can put down. Whatever people have said that’s mean, or uncaring, or just plain outdated we can junk. We can age with grace, act with dignity and love ourselves for being the age we are in the way that we are.

And to be honest we can sidestep the fancy words and the psycho-dynamic affirmations in order to take a long lingering look at ourselves and just love us baby!

Be kind. Take care. Do some lovin’…

Summer holidays are a time for activity and action, beaches and buckets (and spades) and getting the most from the weather and the time away from school or work.

Perhaps. But not all the time surely?

Holidays can be a time just to BE. Be still, be calm, be relaxed.

We had a no-driving day recently where the children and I decided not to get in the car and not to drive anywhere for anything. Instead we ate what we had and played with what was in front of us – there is always plenty to do when you stop and look at what you already have.

The boys elected to stay in their PJs and declared an At Home Day Of Doing Nothing Much And Doing It Well …as Winnie the Pooh might have said.

Now, that’s a great way to enjoy some time on holiday!

When is your next PJ day?

Next week: Love Yourself Baby!
