according to plan and it was draining me. Don’t get me
wrong, I believe we can choose how to react to a situation but I

The problem with feeling sorry for yourself is that the longer
that feeling lasts the harder it is to change. After a while I
decided that I needed to follow my own advice.

Attention Overwhelmed Working Mums!My favorite exercise is taking my two dogs for a walk along
the beach. It’s a win – win, the dogs love it, I get exercise and
Vitamin D (the happiness vitamin remember) and I can
either sing along to my iPod, if the beach is empty or listen to
a motivational podcast or a recorded book.

The beach was empty and the tide was out which made me
smile straight away, I could let the dogs off the lead and not worry about Alfie (the feisty
one) getting into trouble.
