Life Lists

I recently heard of something that made me sit up and listen. Someone was talking about ‘Life Lists’. I have heard of the usual ‘things to do before your 30’, ’99 things to do before you die’ books, however these never really motivated me, a life list sounds like something that is within ones grasp, I mean, It’s just like having an extra special ‘To Do’ list!

So, I have decided to write one! Not in one evening, but over time.. Like all good lists the satisfaction comes with ticking things off, this means that I have to be sensible with what I put on it! I guess what I am thinking of doing now is planning the planning. (Oooo, I love a good plan!!!!)

Putting my HR hat on, the list items have to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. If you think about just how depressing it is when you don’t achieve a job related objective, it would be hideous if your life list was so unrealistic that it had a negative effect on your well-being!

I realise that writing a life list isn’t for everyone either, some may just see it as a load of horse pucky, however, it’s got to be a worth a shot hey? I don’t intend to take it too seriously, however I do want to have fun in the process of writing the list.

Will share more soon.....

The Real Parenting Revolution!

Netmums has named 2011 as the year of the Real Parenting Revolution. The year when mums and dads across the country breathe a huge sigh of relief as the expectation of being a ‘perfect parent’ is finally lifted from our shoulders.

It’s time to feel good about ourselves for simply being 'good enough'.
The illusion of perfect parenting and the perception that other parents are doing better than we are is damaging and can wreak havoc on mothers' self-esteem and mental wellbeing. Netmums are calling for a societal understanding and acknowledgement of the challenges of being a parent in our post-recession era. Throughout 2011, Netmums will be campaigning for support to be there where and when we need it. We will be calling on organisations, politicians, businesses and individuals to get real and join us in this new pragmatic approach to parenting.
