2. Personalised Jewellery – A Sentimental Keepsake

Jewellery with a personal touch makes for a heartfelt gift. Consider a necklace or bracelet engraved with:

It’s a timeless reminder of love that she can cherish every day.

  • A relaxing afternoon tea or brunch at her favourite spot.

These experiences show thoughtfulness and create lasting memories.

IS GUILT A GIVEN WHEN YOU ARE A WORKING PARENT?

IS GUILT A GIVEN WHEN YOU ARE A WORKING PARENT?

When I started to really see that my feelings of guilt came from the thoughts I had about myself, I started to see guilt as a wonderful alarm and indicator for me to actually lower my expectations of myself, relieve the pressure and be much more patient and compassionate with myself! It is simply and indicator that our thoughts have gone off in an unhelpful direction.

CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE

Confidence is a preference, as Damon Albon (Blur) once stated.

If confidence was indeed something we could choose, would we choose it?

I’m not sure that everyone would drink the magic potion even if it was that easy, as I think confidence can be associated or frankly confused with arrogance, it’s ugly second cousin.
