Taking Control

I was chatting to a good friend and work colleague yesterday. She recently moved to South Africa and will be on the move again in July as her partner's job is relocating to Europe. We both came to the conclusion that the best thing for her to overcome not knowing and feeling unsettled is to take control. She is now organising herself to find appropriate work opportunities in Europe and I'm writing her a reference. She already feels much better by taking action. She's focusing her energy on being in control, rather than worrying.

My family and I have spent the last 3 days travelling back to Bali from the UK with stop-overs en route in London and at our NoLimits Head Office in Singapore. I feel jet lagged, disorientated and out of control. I have 3 huge suitcases to sort out, as well as all the bits and pieces from the hand luggage. To top it all, there's no food in the house!

The only way to start feeling good is to take control. To take control requires getting into action. Getting into action requires organisation.

Although reluctant at first to get organised and take action, I feel much better now that I've unpacked, found places for everything and most importantly organised food! I'm in control.
