<h2>Since it&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s Day there&#8217;s no better day of the year to talk about one of the top 6 human needs &#8216;Love &amp; Connection&#8217;.</h2>
<p>For those of you who are not familiar with Anthony Robin&#8217;s Top 6 Human Needs, here is a quick run down.</p>
<h3>1. Certainty</h3>
<p>Which means we all like a bit of certainty, that we&#8217;re going to be safe, secure, have food on the table, a roof over our head and maybe knowing that our family is there for us when we get home, or always on the other end of a phone call.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Too much certainty can however, be boring. When we know exactly what is going to happen next, maybe your life feels a bit like Groundhog Day&#8230; and we don&#8217;t want to know what happens at the end of a movie, we would like to enjoy the journey of the unknown.</p>
<p>Which brings me to the next one&#8230;</p>
<h3>2. Uncertainty</h3>
<p>Where we like variety, the need for adventure, new experiences, change and new stimuli which can make things exciting!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Too much uncertainty can make people feel unstable and fearful, not knowing where the next pay cheque is coming in, whereas, others love the challenge.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/6-Human-Needs.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1995" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/6-Human-Needs-300x201.jpg" alt="6 Human Needs" width="300" height="201"/></a></p>
<h3>3. Significance</h3>
<p>We all like to feel important and valued. A feeling of significance can be the feeling that you&#8217;re special, in your relationship, team at work, that you&#8217;re needed and things wouldn&#8217;t be the same or would fall over without you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Too much importance on significance however leave some people always wanting to be in the lime light, coming across as more important than others, arrogant or swamped with people around them, because no one else is quite as good as they are!</p>
<h3>4. Love &amp; Connection</h3>
<p>A strong feeling of closeness or a union with someone or something. This is definitely a top need of mine out of these top 6 human needs. I love the feeling of giving love, being love, speaking from my heart and feeling deeply connected to others. For me, nothing else beats it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>How to get more love and connection? Read my tips below to get more Love &amp; Connection on this Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<h3>5. Growth</h3>
<p>This is my second top 6 human need, expanding upon your knowledge, capabilities and learning. I&#8217;m definitely a dedicated life long learner and without this in my day, my brain just doesn&#8217;t get the dose of endorphins it loves!</p>
<p>Too much growth, can leave you overwhelmed or give you growing pains, don&#8217;t grow too fast that you end up falling over.</p>
<h3>6. Contribution</h3>
<p>A sense of service and purpose, helping and supporting others. Of course I love this one too, and when I&#8217;m growing and coming from a place of love and connection, is when I feel I give back the most. The happier and more loving I am, the more I give and get back!</p>
<p>What top 2 needs are most important to you in your life?</p>
<h2>Top Tips for generating more Love &amp; Connection in your life:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Open your heart and speak from a place of love, compassion and understanding.</strong>&nbsp;What most people really want deep down under everything else&#8230; is to be loved (stay tuned for my upcoming post and more on this) and typically people are always trying to do their best. Aren&#8217;t you? It might not be your very best that you&#8217;ve ever done, but given the situation, environment and what&#8217;s going on, you are doing your best, because, ya know, if you could do better, you would.</li>
<li><strong>Be fully present -</strong> it&#8217;s the best gift you can give to someone. Throw multi-tasking or multi-thinking out the window! Make the person you&#8217;re with feel like they are the most important person in your world right now. And if they&#8217;re not and you don&#8217;t want to be talking to them, that will come across in your energy so you may as well quickly take your presence elsewhere&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Really look at the person -</strong> I like to say, &#8216;see straight through them&#8217; it can be eerie in one way but quite amazing to feel it from someone else at the same time. Like they really know you, they see through the barriers, the persona you put on and can feel your true and pure essence and love you all the more for it. To do this for others, start with being inquisitive, seek to learn about them, and not jump to judge or want them to be just like you. Be curious to their points of view, experiences in the world and unique selves, ask more questions and really listen. You never know, you just might learn something and that will help fill up your Growth Human Need.</li>
<li><em><strong>TIP -</strong> To really see and know someone straight away helps when you really know yourself. If you&#8217;re great at self awareness and dedicated to self mastery, you&#8217;ll be great at this.&nbsp;</em></li>
<li><strong>Be vulnerable and your real self -</strong> if you have barriers up, if you&#8217;re trying to be someone you&#8217;re not, if you&#8217;re trying to be the person you think the other person wants you to be, will like or you will impress, you&#8217;re not connected. There will be a wall.</li>
<li>Which brings me to<strong> Speak Your Truth -</strong> when you do this, it&#8217;s refreshing, the other person can tell and the best thing about this is it gives permission for the other person to do the same. Of course there is a way to do this that leaves both you and them feeling good. (<em>more on communication strategies for truthful conversations coming here soon</em>). If you open up and share who you are, it can give a sense of safety that the other person can too and then guess what &#8211; you&#8217;re connected on a whole new realm.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>Take your walls down,</strong> stop being scared of what others might think, and BE YOURSELF.</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope you enjoyed learning about the Top 6 Human Needs and that my tips help you generate more love and connection in your life.</p>

<p><strong>We can be creatures of habit, we can easily get set in our ways</strong> and I fully support setting yourself up with a recipe for success &nbsp;(routine or schedule) that works for you. &#8216;If it&#8217;s not broken then don&#8217;t fix it!&#8217;&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Life-Coach-Melbourne-Corfu-Greece.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1489" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Life-Coach-Melbourne-Corfu-Greece-300x300.jpg" alt="Life Coach Melbourne - Corfu Greece" width="300" height="300"/></a><strong>However sometimes this can hold us back</strong> and we can fall victim to creating the same day as yesterday&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>When is this a problem?</strong> When we&#8217;re looking or waiting for something to change.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Now if you&#8217;ve been trying to reach a goal</strong> or attract something significant into your life for a long time, you may well be thinking that something &#8216;big&#8217; has to change.</p>
<p><strong>But it doesn&#8217;t always have to be this way,</strong> sometimes the smallest of things can dramatically shift your situation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>~ YOUR SPECIAL INVITATION ~</strong></p>
<p><strong>New Path Exercise</strong> &#8211; I invite you to join me for a fun experiment (<em>I love experiments that show us just how powerful our own thoughts, decisions and intentions are &#8211; more of these to come in my future videos</em>). This excises consists of making simple changes in your routine to shake things up that create instant change.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>CAN YOU RELATE TO THIS COMMON SCENARIO&#8230;<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>You get up at approximately the same time each day.</strong> you eat the same breakfast, you order the exact same coffee or morning drink at the same coffee shop, you drive along the same route to work, you have the same kind of day at work, you leave work at roughly the same time every day, you travel home on the exact same route, have the same types of conversations at home, watch the same TV shows or spend hours on social media before you go to bed at about the same time each night.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/1-Day-Experiment-change-your-path.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1509" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/1-Day-Experiment-change-your-path-300x300.jpg" alt="1 Day Experiment - change your path" width="300" height="300"/></a><strong>This can cause you to create the same day as yesterday&#8230;</strong> So if you&#8217;re not 100% happy with the days you are creating, or you&#8217;re looking for change, try this fun and easy exercise for 1 day to spice things up and take yourself on a new and different path.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Get up at a different time, eat a different breakfast, order a different morning drink,</strong> travel on a new or different path to work, engage in conversations with new people and/or on different topics and travel on another route on your way home. Keep your eyes out for new and different things that surface on this new day path and share with me what showed up! You just might be surprised!</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed my video I filmed on the beautiful Greek Island of Corfu and I look forward to bringing new videos your way soon!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Champions-3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1383" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Champions-3.jpg" alt="Champions 3" width="900" height="900"/></a>“Feedback is the breakfast of Champions!”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b><i>My Top 10 Feedback Tips</i></b></p>
<p><strong>#1 GIVING &amp; RECEIVING FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>We all need feedback and as you know, it can be challenging for some people to receive it (<em>when they are very sensitive, passionate about what they do and are trying really hard etc</em>) and also challenging to give it (<em>e.g. to your boss!</em>).</p>
<p><strong>#2 WE ALL NEED FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>Without feedback we can only rely on our own self awareness and observations when others around us might be able to assist in speeding our personal and professional growth by providing us with their view on how we can improve.</p>
<p><strong>#3 WHERE GOOD FEEDBACK COMES FROM</strong></p>
<p>Good feedback must always come from a place of helping the person never blaming, criticising or complaining about them. This builds positive workplace culture and family relationships too!</p>
<p><strong>#4 LISTENING TO FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>We must always listen to feedback, even if we disagree with it, or feel it is hard to take or if it’s delivered in a harsh way. Also regardless of whom it comes from, not only our boss but from our peers and direct reports too. Everyone has a different perception and could all be a teacher for us. Being closed or thinking you&#8217;re always right is a sure way to miss out on valuable feedback.</p>
<p>We need to rise above feedback being perceived as a negative thing and look hard at ways to take aspects of it to improve our personal and professional development.</p>
<p>Other people always have different perspectives and views compared to our own, right or wrong, so it’s important to be open and listen to others and also share your own views so they can hear your perspective on the same issue.</p>
<p>Sometimes you will be able to see and agree with the person giving you feedback, other times you may not. If someone is giving you feedback and you really want to follow their guidance but don’t know how, ask them to give you a specific example on what you can change which would show them you have successfully implemented their feedback.</p>
<p><strong>#5 ACCURATE FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>It’s important to give as accurate feedback as possible. Before jumping to conclusions, it’s great if you can get some specific measures that support your feedback. E.g.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“Well done, you are improving the growth of the business because you successfully signed up 5 new clients this month in comparison to 2 per month for the previous 3 months.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Remember, not everyone will always provide accurate or the right feedback all the time either – even your manager or if you’re the manager giving feedback to your team! There can be many reasons for this, stress, not being close enough to the work to see accurately or not having looked at figures to back up statements.</p>
<p>Sometimes others may think you’re doing well when you don’t think you are! This is a mis-match to simply be discussed.</p>
<p><strong>#6 HOW TO COMMUNICATE FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>Use the CRC Technique (commend / recommend / commend). Ref: <em>Toastmasters International</em></p>
<p>Keep things simple with your communication by listening and discussing feedback, with a common goal of getting the best out of everyone in the team.</p>
<p>Be careful of never giving feedback when you’re in a place of frustration or upset yourself. First get yourself under control, think clearly and professionally and deliver your feedback in a helpful and uplifting way for the other person to receive.</p>
<p>Try to aim for your feedback to be inspiring for the person to achieve more rather than putting them down and leaving them feeling flat and unmotivated.</p>
<p><strong>#7 REPEATING FEEDBACK</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes people need to hear the feedback a few times or from a few different people to really understand it’s a problem for them and something to be fixed for their best interests. Other times people are trying but haven’t yet worked out a way to overcome the challenge of making the desired change.</p>
<p>A person may not implement a piece of feedback because they don’t actually believe it will help them or provide them with better results. When this happens it’s important to address the belief, not just tell them they must do it.</p>
<p>Be patient with people, ask how they think they are going with previously delivered feedback first, perhaps they have made some changes you’re not aware of and then support and encourage them through what else they can do.</p>
<p>Of course if you’re trying to provide someone with valuable feedback that you know will help them and they continue to ignore it, first check in with the accuracy or if the person actually sees that as something important for them to change. They might not be trying to change because they don’t see the value in making it a priority.</p>
<p>Sometimes direct and assertive feedback is required. Show the person how you think implementing the feedback will directly help them and what you see will or could happen if they don’t. It’s important for you when giving feedback to select the most appropriate way of delivering it to get the desired outcome.</p>
<p><strong>#8 YOUR RESULTS</strong></p>
<p>You can quickly identify if your feedback is working by asking the person if they found it helpful and observing if people are following your advice or not.</p>
<p><strong>#9 BE OPEN</strong></p>
<p>Being open to another person’s feedback when perhaps you don’t agree with it is very important too. This can build confidence, you might not think you’re improving when they say you really are can be very helpful! You might not see it yourself.</p>
<p>Each person must stop and really think about what the person is saying before they dismiss it as incorrect or remaining stuck in their own ways.</p>
<p><strong>#10 FREQUENCY</strong></p>
<p>Frequency of feedback helps when it’s common practice in an organisation. For if and when it comes ‘out of the blue’, especially from the top, people can be shocked or perceive it as though it is a bigger deal than it actually is.</p>
<p>It’s best to work through things when they are small and manageable rather than not communicating feedback and allowing small issues to build into a big problem.</p>
<p><strong>#BONUS TIP &#8211; FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT!&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It’s not fair if a person doesn’t get the feedback they need as it doesn’t give them the chance to improve before something may be taken away from them etc.</p>
<p>Check in with how you are giving and receiving feedback and take note of any actions you think you could improve upon in your organisation.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/mad-3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1352" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/mad-3.jpg" alt="mad 3" width="480" height="480"/></a><strong>Do you have a manger who gets mad on a regular basis and is a master at&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>‘B<em>lowing their Top’</em>?</strong></p>
<p><strong>People who get mad a lot,</strong> particularly over little things, are really telling us they feel out of control in some aspect of their life. Generally the small things they appear to be getting mad at, aren&#8217;t the real reasons they are mad.</p>
<p><strong>Firstly, always check in and listen</strong> to what the person is saying in case there is a very valid point about you, that you can address and change to help the situation.</p>
<p><strong>However, here we&#8217;re talking about common occurrences of</strong> yelling and/or getting upset or frustrated at the little things. You have probably experienced someone like this in either your personal or professional life.</p>
<p><strong>So these tips can be applied both at work or home</strong> &#8211; to anyone who dares to yell at you!&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6 TOP TIPS!</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Stay calm</strong></p>
<p>Your heart rate might start to race when someone is yelling at you, but it’s important to stay calm on the inside and BREATH.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Work on calming down your inner self and remain looking calm on the outside.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keep your face and body relaxed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Chances are they are letting loose i.e. raving on and on about something &#8211; which actually gives you TIME to work on being calm before you need to respond! :-)&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>2. Don&#8217;t be or show that you&#8217;re afraid!</strong></p>
<p>If you can see a &#8220;mad manager&#8221;<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">&nbsp;walking around your office or they are directly yelling at you &#8211; don’t be afraid. (Unless you fear physical violence then best step away fast!) Certainly don’t coward down to a person who is yelling. They are only emotions and they OWN their emotions, don&#8217;t allow them to put their emotions onto you.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Ask intelligent questions.</strong></p>
<p>For example in a confident and caring way, ask with a concerned look on your face that also says – I know you&#8217;re really upset but I know I&#8217;m not the deep cause of your anger and I&#8217;m not going to &#8216;buy into&#8217; this behaviour of yours or think for a second it&#8217;s all my fault.</p>
<p><em>“Is everything is ok?”</em></p>
<p>This can show, if done correctly, that you can see the real reason why they are getting mad, is NOT what they&#8217;re blowing up about. This is your chance to show your emotional intelligence and insight.</p>
<p><strong>4. Never get mad back.</strong></p>
<p>People might push your buttons and if you do get mad, well that is for another topic of discussion (i.e. Finding your own deeper causes of what is upsetting YOU! Contact me today if you need help with this.)&nbsp;</p>
<p>So never get mad back, because this just turns into a fight and you have raised your voice, volume and emotions to match theirs. Instead as tip #1 stay calm and strong so they have to come down and match your calm state.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If a person is lashing out, what they really need in that moment is love, understanding and care. For that person is upset and feeling out of control&#8230;. and that&#8217;s not nice.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>* It doesn&#8217;t mean we allow them to take it out on us, but that we know it&#8217;s not a nice place for anyone to be in, and we wouldn&#8217;t ever wish it on others.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><strong>5. Don’t&nbsp;criticise&nbsp;them or put them down.</strong></p>
<p>We are not here to judge others, but we do teach others how to communicate with us.</p>
<p>You could ask (and this is my personal example I used with someone, many years ago, who <em>used</em> to yell at me, but not anymore!) in a calm voice:</p>
<p><em>“Why are you yelling?”</em></p>
<p>The person responded yelling at the top of their voice:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;M NOT YELLING!!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>* Quickly realising yelling that statement was a bit silly and calmed right down instantly :-)&nbsp;</p>
<p>With this question, the person will think about the real reason why they are so mad or frustrated, and not actually be able to answer this question and often they walk away or calm down. The reason for this is because, more often than not it&#8217;s either:&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Nothing to do with what they are yelling about or,&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s too private or difficult for them to share.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So often in the workplace, the underlying cause won&#8217;t generally have a lot to do with you. It’s something personal or other work issues within them. Or if it does have something to do with you, it goes much, much deeper&#8230;. and they can&#8217;t seem to speak to you about it in a way that they think will gain a successful resolution. It&#8217;s best to help them try, by creating an open and safe environment to communicate with you in.</p>
<p><strong>6. Be assertive</strong></p>
<p>Here is a great example of a way you can respond any time anyone is yelling at you, at work or at home &#8211; whatever the topic or situation:</p>
<p><em>“I would really like to talk to you about this issue, but not when you’re yelling at me, so perhaps you can calm down now and we can discuss it in a professional and/or nice way, or let me know if and when you’re ready to talk to me calmly in the future.”</em></p>
<p>Here you are open and willing to talk, just not in that way.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Taking this approach using the 6 tips</strong> above, helps communicate to the person yelling, that you’re not someone to be yelled at or someone they can take their frustrations out on.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Remember only 7% of our communication</strong> comes from the words we use, so embrace the message you want to deliver with your entire body language and inner thoughts and intentions of a positive outcome.</p>
<p><strong>All the best</strong> in teaching others that you are not someone to be yelled at!&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Try it out for yourself</strong> if and when you need to, and let me know how you get on! I would love to hear from you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for reading and until next time&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>While on holiday in Hamilton Island, Victoria Australia,</strong>&nbsp;I not only had a fantastic time there but I also filmed a quick video for you, while I was hanging out on my friend&#8217;s yacht!</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re a teacher or team leader</strong> then you will want to watch today&#8217;s tip on how you can find your own teachers in life while you&#8217;re teaching or leading others.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9gR7g5_Qj1w?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Among the many activities that Hamilton Island offers,</strong> such as SUP, yachting, swimming, hiking, diving and golf &#8211; just to name a few &#8211; it also offers fantastic art classes.</p>
<p>It was here in an art class with a teacher named Trevor that I painted my first sea turtle!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-02-02-13.13.56.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1251" style="border: 3px solid black;" alt="2014-02-02 13.13.56" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-02-02-13.13.56.jpg" width="448" height="336"/></a></p>
<p><strong>Being an arty person it was one of the highlights of my trip</strong> but not just because I like to paint!</p>
<p>This teacher was exceptional because he had two outstanding qualities I think make a great teacher, trainer or leader.</p>
<p><strong>1. In just 3 hours he took us from a place</strong> we knew we were already at to a place we didn&#8217;t think possible!</p>
<p>And this had us jumping for joy!</p>
<p>I tell you, when he asked us to look around the room for inspiration and select what we wanted to paint&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>I chose an example from a professional artist, a sea turtle!</strong></em> Now I know I have a <em>few</em> skills in drawing and painting but it&#8217;s certainly not my number one thing.</p>
<p><strong>I had NO IDEA how</strong> I was going to get that lovely looking sea turtle onto my blank canvas&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>But with his help I did!</strong> And this didn&#8217;t only happen to me, my friends in the class also had the exact same experience.</p>
<p><strong>So when you&#8217;re teaching or leading others,</strong> strive to take your students or team members to a place they didn&#8217;t think possible. As this ignites a new found confidence, happiness and energy within them to believe that anything is possible!</p>
<p><strong>2. Trevor was also humble, in that he demonstrated</strong> that even though he is an extremely talented painter and an expert teacher all his life, he is always learning too.</p>
<p>In the class Trevor shared a story from just the day before, where a little 6 year old girl started painting in a way he had never seen before. Immediately he taught us that technique and thus expanded upon his own skills.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Our teachers can sometimes show up in the most unlikely places, however so often when its you who is teaching, its also you who can be the one who learns something very profound.</em></p>
<p><strong>Are you a teacher or team leader?</strong> What interesting lessons in life have you learnt while teaching or leading your team?</p>
<p>Please leave a comment I would love to hear from you!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Technology is evolving</strong> so quickly that we are used to, expect and like getting the things we want, in an instant!</p>
<p>Now this can be a great thing, but it can also cause some issues..</p>
<p><strong>Watch the video below</strong> where I outline the problem with instant gratification and how it is causing many people to feel unsatisfied&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BDviFBZwRvs?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Instant gratification doesn&#8217;t generally</strong> allow us to feel good about a really great job well done.</p>
<p>Can you think of something that has taken you a really long time to achieve?</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps you&#8217;ve put hours</strong> and hours into it, maybe months or even years.</p>
<p>And then you finally made it!</p>
<p><strong>How satisfied were you?</strong> How great did you feel, that you finally achieved your goal?</p>
<p>Even thinking about it now, how happy does it make you feel?</p>
<p><strong>Plus &#8211; how much do you value it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>If we&#8217;re always trying to have instant gratification,</strong> getting things so fast, if things come too easily, we miss out on that amazing feeling after we have worked really hard and feel very proud of ourselves.</p>
<p><strong>Today I want to encourage you,</strong> if you&#8217;re on a journey trying to achieve something, and it&#8217;s taking you a really long time, you know you&#8217;re on the right path, then stick at it. Keep going! You can do it!</p>
<p>When you do achieve it, you will feel that amazing feeling of completing a tough challenge in your life and complete satisfaction.</p>
<p><strong>I would love to hear of a goal</strong> you are trying to achieve right now, that perhaps you&#8217;ve been working on already for a long time. I would love to help you with it!</p>

<p><strong>Check out today&#8217;s video</strong> and read below for my 3 top tips on how to love your work!</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2C-Uq8CCTbo?feature=player_detailpage" height="250" width="530" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>1. APPRECIATE YOUR JOB &#8211; even if you don&#8217;t love it!</strong></p>
<p>How would you feel tomorrow if it was no longer there for you? How would it impact your life? How would in affect your family? We just never know what will happen tomorrow. But, what we do know is if you don&#8217;t appreciate what you already have, the universe doesn&#8217;t help you by giving you something better&#8230; it usually takes what you currently have away!</p>
<p><strong>2. LISTEN TO FEEDBACK.</strong></p>
<p>What is your boss or coach saying to you? Are there areas of improvement? This is your ideal chance to work on and improve yourself in regards to your skills and expertise right now where you are. This will also help you enjoy going to work a little bit more tomorrow when you have something specific to challenge yourself with.</p>
<p><strong>3. DO YOUR BEST.</strong></p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re currently in a job that you don&#8217;t really love &#8211; do your best! This will not only make you feel good about yourself but you also won&#8217;t be left with regrets if your job wasn&#8217;t there tomorrow.</p>
<h2><strong>AND HERE IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CAREER TIPS EVER!!!</strong></h2>
<p><strong>You just never know who is watching you.</strong> Perhaps another senior manager, client or colleague could see how you work and offer you an amazing opportunity. If you&#8217;re at work showing up any less than your best self&#8230; do you think they will want it give it to you? No! So get to work and be your best self, you just never know where or from who your next best career opportunity will come from.</p>
