The Value of Darkness and Light in Your Business


also posted in Jane's Blog

In the north of Scotland in wintertime, it is dark by 4pm, and not properly light again until after 8am. Many people find this a challenge, but it is of course compensated for by very long summer evenings, when the sun rises about 3am, and doesn’ t really set until about 11pm. I reorganise my schedule during the winter so I can easily get out in the daytime. This applies to businesses too, so how much time do you spend in the daylight and nightime of your business?

Dark and light are functions of a dual universe where there is an opposite for everything, and where if we didn’ t have that, we wouldn’ t be able to understand positive [read more]

Is There Life After Christmas?


also posted in Jane's Blog

At this time of year, this is a question I often ask myself as I see so many
people focusing on the ‘ big day’ and the associated holidays. And even if
you have your own business, and know that life doesn’ t stop just because
Christmas is coming, it’ s easy to get sucked into the idea that your internal
diary stops at Christmas and New Year and doesn’ t start up again until
after it’ s all over. If you find yourself arriving in January thinking ‘ whew,
that’ s it for another year, now what?’ then take heart.

You can avoid that question by mulling over now what you want to be
focusing on for 2011. It [read more]

Is Your Heart Really IN What You’re Doing?


also posted in Jane's Blog

Have you ever done something and your heart wasn’ t really in it? Yes of course you have, even if you can’ t think of what it is right now. I was considering this a couple of days ago when I was looking at my diary for next week.

This is the week that Philip will start his chemo treatment and instead of just assuming I was going to go with him to the hospital (which involves sitting tied to a drip for 9 hours and an overnight stay), I gave myself the opportunity to find out if I really wanted to go or not.

Depending on your point of view, this idea that I could NOT go might be [read more]

5 Essential Tips for Dealing with Shocks and Uncertainty


also posted in Jane's Blog

It’ s funny, isn’ t it, how the human race behaves as if it knows what is going to be happening from minute to minute. Most of us do this, most of the time. It is understandable of course, as there is a certain rhythm to life in that the sun rises and sets, the trees lose their leaves and then they grow again, and the sea continues to roll onto the shores of the beach, wave after wave. There are variations of course, in that sometimes we don’ t see the sun for the clouds, the leaves may fall earlier or later, and the waves may be bigger or smaller. But on the whole, there is some sense of [read more]

Can You Really Surrender Your Goals to the Universe?


also posted in Jane's Blog

In my first book Choose Your Thoughts, Change Your Life, I wrote
in the introduction about using an affirmation that said “Today I
receive a letter from Paul’. I was in India, having set off with a friend
from London on a journey to find an old boyfriend. I knew he was
somewhere in Indonesia, I’d arrived in India en route, and had
written to the boyfriend giving him my poste restante address. So in
Goa, land of beautiful beaches and stunning scenery, I was making
a daily trip to the Post Office to see if he had written to me.

Every day that I was there I was disappointed; for over five weeks,
no letter arrived. Well, it’s [read more]
