Our Monday Mantra to help you stay on point for the week…Decide to Decide
perfectionism
Sometimes it pays to throw away the plan!
Is it just us…or is time really going faster?!!! September flew by with work being crazy busy. The weather was brilliant here, hope you were as lucky and got to enjoy wonderful warm September days. In fact, here is a pic of Dr B having a cuppa in the park on the very last day of September! Who could ask for more? Check out the beautiful background of the formal gardens of Lauderdale House in Highgate.
Sometimes it pays to throw away the plan! That is exactly what we did when we headed down to Brighton on the South Coast for the day. You know us, upon arrival we headed for our favourite patisserie ‘Cocoa of Brighton’ and the lovely owner asked, “Have you been to Lewes yet?” (said in his adorable french accent!) Well we hadn’t so we went right back up the hill, got back onto a train and 7 minutes later we were in the most beautiful medieval city called Lewes.
We spent the day walking and wandering, up hills and down (once again apologies to our feet, bless them!) exploring winding tiny streets, quirky shops, amazing architecture, and, you know it, delicious cafes! Then there is the Norman castle right smack in the middle of the City! What a surprising day!
Enjoy the pics!

Self-care…
Burnout is more than stress on steroids. Self-care is a must. xx Dr. Toby Silverton
Feed the soul…
Are you selling your soul for a deadline? Why not feed it instead. xx Dr. Toby Silverton
What was that word again? I keep forgetting…
More often than not women forget one little word that can save so much time and energy and change our days and weeks considerably. It’s such a simple one, but it just does not roll off the female tongue easily or naturally.
What a shame.
Do you know what word we are talking about? Of course you do, but we know you’re hesitant to use it because it makes you feel mean, anxious and/or guilty. The word we are talking about has two letters AND is a full sentence.
Have you guessed it yet? Yes…no…maybe so. Well it definitely is one of these three options and if you are a Burnout Queen you need to learn to say NO fast. There we said it!
This is a vital communication skill both at work and in your personal life. By learning to say No, you set limits for yourself and others. Say No out loud if…
— you are taking on more than you can manage
— your deadlines are unreasonable and unrealistic
— you feel stretched to be in 3 different places at once
Come on give it a go and learn to say No. You’ll end up saying YES TO SANITY!
