Feeling Low and Sad

A Message from Noelyne...

Do you have days when you feel low and sad? It can be triggered by the smallest of things and you just don't understand what causes you to feel that way.  Someone might say something to you in a way that normally you would just brush it off or not even notice.  Then another day it just sparks a downward spiral of unhappiness, feeling low and sad.  Turning up the corners of your mouth to smile is an effort and you just don't want to do it.

There can be a number of reasons for feeling low and sad.  Importantly it's quite normal to feel like this occassionally.  One day of feeling low and sad does not mean that you have depression.  Although many people describe themselves as being depressed when in fact they are just feeling a little low.

What causes you to feel low and sad?
Stress, hormones, lifestyle, relationship problems,tiredness, lack of nutrition, too much alcohol, withdrawal symptoms.  There's many reasons that trigger the feeling.  You are the best judge of what causes the feeling.

You are also the best judge of what to do to overcome feeling low and sad.  Sometimes it's good to just feel the feeling.  Let it happen and know that you will feel better when you are ready.  If there's something bothering you then it helps to talk things through too.

If you find yourself feeling low and sad regularly it can become a problem and affect the quality of your life.  You may need additional support such as a Counsellor or Life Coach to identify what it is that is keeping you stuck and then move you forward.  Making a decision to contact a professional is often a daunting prospect however, you will feel somuch better once you make that move.  Taking action is very therapeutic.

Getting back on Track

A Message from Noelyne...

The Universe has just sent me this note..

In life, Noelyne, you can only ever be scared, when you believe in limits.

You can only ever feel lonely, when you stop doing things.

You can only ever become bored, when you no longer follow your heart.

And you can only ever get overwhelmed, when you think the illusions are real.

Whew! Who knew it could be so easy to get back on track?

A Message from Noelyne....

I encourage my clients to keep a Success Diary as a good way to reflect on your achievements.  It's also great to keep for those moments when you need a confidence boost.  When you feel a tad low it's good to remind yourself of what you have done.  When things aren't going the way you planned or you find yourself focusing on what's wrong grab your Success Diary and remind yourslef of everything that you have done recently.

Noelyne's Success Diary.

From January 2011 to April 2011 I have delivered 37 training courses to 570 people.  That's 570 people who I have influenced by sharing my knowledge and skills so enhancing their lives.

What's your success in 2011?

Feeling Stressed out by a Garden Shed

A message from Noelyne...

I need to put things into perspective. I'm feeling stressed out by the fact that the garden shed we ordered has not yet been delivered. That's ridiculous I hear you say and you are right.

Do you get stressed out when things don't go quite to plan? Let me share a little of the story. Day 1 Ordered shed delivery expected within 10 days. Delivery date given for exactly 10 days after order placed. Fantastic! Day 10 arrived. No shed. Phone company. Then phone suppliers. Only just got the order! Earliest delivery in 2 weeks. Partner not happy and gets involved. Lots of phone calls. No shed.

I could continue however it gets boring. The moral of this story. Don't get stressed out by a shed. Don't order a shed on line from a big company, go local instead. Let your partner order the shed!

Feeling irritated?

A Message from Noelyne...

Do you regularly feel irritated by other peoples behaviour?  Something they do or say makes you feel tense inside?  The feeling you get can get in the way of your peace of mind, cause you to lose sleep and feel bad tempered.

It often happens when your tolerance levels are lowered.  When you work long hours and take on too many tasks in a day.  When you push yourself beyond your limits so far that you don't realise that you are short tempered.  So the slightest thing can cause you to feel irritated.  In the normal scheme of things when you are relaxed and chilled out about life you probably wouldn't take any notice of what had happened.

The next time you snap at someone or you get that  feeling of wanting to burst inside then take a deep breath and walk away.  The consequences of not doing this can last a long time.

Go for a walk, make a cup of tea, take the dog out. Do something to take your mind off the little thing that irritated you.

Smile and be happy.  Think of all the things you have to be grateful about.

Things not as good as you thought they would be?

A Message from Noelyne...

Have you made a decision in the last 6 months that hasn't turned out they way you wanted?  The reality of your decision has not lived up to the dream?  Did you have a picture in your mind of how things would be and now when you look back it's just not like that?

The dream is often far better than the reality.  You realise that there are factors that you didn't take into account or dismissed as irrelevant when you made your decision.  You told yourslef that they weren't important because you wanted to do whatever it was so much, you thought you would handle everything.

So what do you do when you have made a mistake?

Celebrate!  What I hear you say....celebrate your mistake.  Absolutely.  You took action.  If you didn't take action then you wouldn't be where you are now.  You would still be thinking and dreaming about how wonderful things will be when....  You would still be putting your deicision off until the time is right.

So celebrate taking action.  Then work out what you need to do to improve the situation.  What's missing?  What is it that is not the way you expected?  What was your original goal?  How far away is the reality? How is what you have adding value to your life?  What have you learned from taking action? What options do you have?  What will you do? When will you do it?

When you make a decision and take action you have to let go of the outcome.  Things don't always turn out how you expect.  You then handle whatever happens.  And you can!

Stiff neck and headache

A message from Noelyne.....

I've had a stiff neck and a headache for the past two weeks.  I've been working through it and ignoring it expecting that it will go away.  However, today I have to admit that it's not.  I keep so fit and healthy and rarely have any illness so it's really strange that this year I have already had a nasty chest infection and now this stiffness and pain at the top of my neck and head.

Is it due to the amount of work that I have been doing over the past three months and it's my body's way of telling me to slow down?  I like to think so and thankfully I have had a few days training delivery cancelled over the next few weeks.  Initially I was disappointed as it's frustrating to get changes to your diadry and cancellations when you are self-employed.  However, it's a blessing in disguise.  Just two days work this week and then I'm on holiday until the end of April.  A well earned rest is on the cards.

Lets hope the sun continues to shine.

What happened to the rest of March 2011!

A Message from Noelyne....

The last time I blogged it was 19/3/2011 now we are at 3/4/2011.  What happened?  Where did the days go?  It seems like only yesterday yet so much has happened ...  The Census training that just took over.  I have been doing 12 hours + daily to deliver two sessions each with 20 people.  That's 40 people total every day during March.

I was asked to do two extra events on 2/4, they tempted me with a bonus however, by Thursday last week I knew I needed to take some time out.  My weekends and my family are very very important to me and I was beginning to feel like a training machine, churning out freshly prepared Census collectors.  So I declined thier kind offer.  Thankfully there were plenty of other trainers champing at the bit to deliver training for a few extra bucks.

It's not easy turning down the offer of extra money is it?  However, your health and family are more important.  Without those what is the point of having extra dosh?  How many of you accept that extra job and at what expense?  How many marriages, friendships and partnerships are lost through not being there at crucial times?  You think you are doing your best by working hard and providing however, when you are away things can go wrong.  Relationships need care and attention to flourish and survive.  They need time and effort and is you are busy working then you are not able to give the time that you need to take care of the important things in life.  As I said what's the point of lots of money if you don't have someone to spend it with.

So I'm back to a much more leisurely 2 to 3 days a week from now until the Summer.  Can you feel the tension draining from me?
