18.01.2022 Only a third of my couples say they find time to spend together - despite a busy schedule. This leaves 70% of couples stating they have trouble finding time in one way or another to spend together... Uh oh. What about you? Is finding quality time an issue in your relationship? ... And if it is, how do we find time? Let's take two approaches. Big and small. First small. "What's one simple small change I (or each of us) can make that will give us back quality time each day or week?" Do the maths, even 15 minutes each day adds up to almost 2 hours of new connection time per week. Could this be all it takes to restore balance? Ok, next up the big change. Ask... "What's one big shift I can make to get more quality time with my partner?" Be bold think big. Think outside the square. Perhaps it's working from home an extra day a week. Maybe it's taking a weekend away each month. What about stepping back from boards, committee's, and sports groups? Perhaps your line of thinking is around being together more on a shared cause or purpose? It's up to you. Look to your values and evaluate your life balance. Make the changes you need to say "Yes, we find time to spend together!"

16.01.2022 #6 on my "20 Resilience Building Tips During The Covid-19 Love-in" post is to create a 15-Minute 'worry time'. The concept is explained in more detail in my free ebook - "Less worry, Let's be happy". The gist of it is to spend 15 minutes once a day to focus on your worries. Set the alarm on your phone or watch and know that this is your time to worry. If you find yourself worrying at other times throughout the day, place it aside and leave it until your designated worry time.... Notice what happens. If Covid-19 has you or a family member worried, this strategy can really help. Try it and see! To read all the tips view my post. https://www.jacquelinehogan.com/20-resilience-building-tip/ Or jump to the 'Less worry' ebook right here... https://www.jacquelinehogan.com/less-worry-lets-be-happy/

13.01.2022 A timely reminder that you have emotions - you are not your emotions. See the difference? Dig deeper with this post from the archives for a new way to think about emotions. https://www.jacquelinehogan.com/whats-your-brain-gauge-tel/

12.01.2022 One of our most popular pages is the Emotions Wheel. And for good reason! It helps you identify what you are REALLY feeling. As couples work with me their emotional vocabulary expands. They understand themselves better in the moment, and can understand their partner better. By recognising what's going on in their mind and body at any given time they are better equipped to respond while remaining true to themselves. It's almost magical watching it come together from my perspec...tive in the counsellors chair. Learn more and download your emotion wheel pdf from the link below. https://www.jacquelinehogan.com/wheel-of-emotion/

Trying to do everything at once is a recipe for disaster, yet we often fall into this trap. The result? Burnout or getting nothing done anyway. The beauty of the coaching cloud is you can see all the components at once. Be...gin to prioritise. See strengths. Discover weakness. Find gaps. Discover opportunities and get set for 2021. Check out the free coaching cloud graphic and get started on your 2021 goals with the free 5 minute goal setting plan. https://www.jacquelinehogan.com/coaching-cloud-a-starting-/

12.01.2022 What does Deep Communication look like? What are you missing out on, and how can you have more meaningful conversations? Let's take a look at 3 elements of deep communication. 1. "Honest Speaks the truth and uses facts to inform and deliver quality communication."... 2. "Respectful Is tolerant of difference, is forgiving, is welcoming, and is not above or below anyone else." 3. "Vulnerable Raising new ideas, being open to feedback, accepting challenges, mature to accepting others views. ‘Going there first’ on difficult or taboo topics. Handling rejection responsibly." For more elements of deep communication - and ideas on how you can move toward insightful conversations - check out the complete resource on my website. https://www.jacquelinehogan.com/your-guide-to-deep-communi/
