If you’re stuck in a rut or facing a challenge, remember Martin Seligman’s 3 P’s
Personalisation - it won’t be all on you
Pervasiveness - it won’t affect every aspect of your life
Permanence - it won’t last forever
So remember to grab some perspective! Have a great week 👍🏻
The time has arrived where I can no longer sit quietly under the threat of ‘you cannot comment or you will breach your code of conduct’
I’m speaking up for myself but also all the leaders who have been in touch to say the same happened to them
#TakeAStand
Please share everyone
So items that need running upstairs get left here when doing the big unpack from the shops. Has anyone in the world ever created a child that actually picks them up without being asked or do they just glide past them on their 1000 journeys up and down 🙈😂🙈

Huge thanks to everyone sending messages of support. Every person who takes a moment out of their day to pass on gentle words of encouragement, please know this will always make a difference. Our young people are amazing & I’m so proud they got to share their stories with you 🙌🏻
Just wanted to say thank you to all who have been in touch this week and sent their support or shared their stories with me. I’ve tried to respond to everyone, sorry if I’ve missed any!
I’m so grateful, the support has helped with what’s been a really challenging week.
Thanks 😃

Thanks for the messages! I’m happy to have only a quick visit to hospital. Still struggling with breathlessness. Advice is now total rest. Ive had 1 vaccine which will be a huge help, stepping off social media to focus on getting better. Keep safe everyone. Our NHS are amazing ❤️
Surrounding yourself with good people is essential. They won’t just stand alongside you on a sunny day they will weather the storms with you too!

Is it scary to take a stand? Yes. Is it worth it? It has to be. We should always do what we feel is right. Stand up for yourself and others. As Reagan once said...
If you’re feeling a little morose on the last night before the first week back, worried about what the next few weeks will hold - check this out! I hope it puts as big a smile on your face as it has on mine!
#DontWorry
I once saw a message that said: ‘I can’t promise to fix all your problems, but I can promise you that you won’t have to face them all alone’ It’s so important to have the right team around you, especially in the face of a challenge.

Hi everyone - feeling so much better 😊 So very thankful to have had all your well wishes & on the other side of it now. To anyone who gets it, please, please rest and thanks again to our incredible NHS! Much love 😃🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻

So sit back, turn it up and enjoy watching the talent of this young man! If this doesn’t make you smile, not sure what will…oh and Everton have secured premier league survival too - Happy Friday 😃💙
If you see someone without a smile today then give them one of yours. Let’s focus this week on smiles. On spreading joy and on showing kindness - it is the last week before Christmas after all 😃 🎄🎅

Today I stand with the country in wanting to pass on love to those affected by the atrocity of the attack and thank them, every one, for the human nature they’ve consistently shown in answering this hatred. Humans at their best: forgiveness, tolerance, truth, warmth and love 🐝
All the very best to everyone receiving results today, & to our son Tom who is eagerly awaiting his. As I said to him this morning, exam results do not define you-nor do they entirely predict your future. They are done & the next chapter can begin.

Yes it’s easier to go with the flow. But sometimes it’s necessary to swim against the current. It takes guts and strength to stand alone and be counted.

A morning reminder before you take on the week - that you are stronger than you realise and you will be able to cope with more than you thought possible. I am hoping this week, whatever change & challenge comes your way, you smash it 👍🏻
To all mums; past and present, step mums, half mums, foster mums, expectant mums or hero Dads stepping in to the role - take a bow and enjoy today...you deserve it 🙌🏻😊👏🏻

Always remember:
Attitude is a choice.
Happiness is a choice.
Optimism is a choice.
Kindness is a choice.
Giving is a choice.
Respect is a choice.
Whatever choice you make, makes you - so choose wisely.
#YouAreInControlOfYou
#Choices
In a world full of critics, choose to be the encourager. Encourage those around you. Lift their esteem. Build up confidence and help someone on their way.

So our eldest sat his last exam yesterday and I can’t believe he has now finished school. Where does the time go?! Sending a big congrats to everyone who has got through their exams and to all teachers and parents alike for being with them every step of the way! 🙌🏻
This week let’s attack every day with a whole load of enthusiasm! Remember, how we are will almost certainly impact those around us - so that little bit more enthusiasm could help to make it a better week for everyone 👍🏻

And just like that, you made it through the week! 2021 - week one, ticked off...and what a week it was👏🏻
This is just to remind you that you are doing great! Keep safe.
Don’t just be impressed by things like job titles, money, followers, degrees. Be impressed by things like kindness, humility & generosity. Like this quote says, ‘being smart isn’t enough, we also need a warm heart’.

As we approach exam season, or for anyone facing a real challenge, never underestimate the importance of breathing...and a quick time out!
Try this 10 x each day this week, or when you’re feeling the pinch.

Whatever your results, use this learning to take you to the next stage in your journey. One chapter has closed & you are now ready to delve into the next chapter in the story of your life!

Be determined today to:
- Hold your head up high
- Be friendly
- Help someone who needs it
- Don’t give up
- Get your stuff done
- Be yourself
- Do your best
