Today was a long working day but at the end I felt very happy. My role involves a great deal of staff engagement for the organisation, communicating and asking for information, teaching and supporting the development of leadership and management skills and coaching individuals to improve performance.

Sometimes it is very tough, especially when coaching members of staff through difficult times for them. I came home late and after my evening meal started to have painful foot cramps. It feels like my body is saying "Enough stress and work, if you don't listen, then this is what you get!"  We need to listen to the messages from our body because body and mind are linked and interdependent. When I ignore my body, it lets me know big time! I need to rest, sleep, eat and drink properly and luckily I have three days holiday booked next week. Think I will book a massage or other treatment to spoil myself...
