Book & Audio Book Recommendations.
I find books are a great way to learn new skills, to better understand things in our everyday life & importantly, help us to unwind and relax.
We're all very busy, so long books are not always easy to get through, so I've handpicked some great books that are quick to read and really insightful and audio books for the commute or walks.
I've found Kindle Unlimited to be a great way to read a lot of books, cheaply, if you can read regularly.
Amazon's 30day free trial got me into reading more books quickly.
Amazon are also offering a Two month trial for 99p - that's a lot of learning!
Most of the books I share are ones I've read, or are on my reading list.
I must admit, I do also love Audio Books - Amazon do a 30 day free trial and
Prime Members can get two audible books during the trial.

Managing The Psychology of Change:
Tips for Success
By Nick Hayes
March 2023
Change is an inevitable part of life.
Whether it's a new job, a house move, or a major life event, we all experience change at some point in our lives. However, change can be difficult to manage, especially if you're not prepared for it.
I've compiled some top tips for managing the psychology of change:
1. Take the First Steps
The first step to managing the psychology of change is to accept that change is happening.
Denial or resistance to change can prolong the process and make it more difficult and can also cause us to be stressed.
Once you've accepted that change is happening, identify the specific changes that are taking place and consider how they will impact your life.
2. Continuously Focus on your Goals
It's easy to get caught up in the chaos of change and lose sight of your goals.
These could be home/lifestyle, work related, bringing up children or a mix of them all.
Continuously focusing on your goals can help you stay motivated and on track.
Write down your goals and make a plan to achieve them. Stick them to the Fridge and take time to review your progress regularly - you can adjust your plans and ideas as needed.
3. Embrace the Power of Positive Thinking
A positive attitude can go a long way when it comes to managing the psychology of change.
Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of the situation, try to find the positives. This isn't always easy, so maybe write down a Pro/Cons list and focus on the Positives and question if the negatives are really that negative.
Consider how the change will benefit you in the long run and look for opportunities to learn and grow.
Read a book - the books I've recommended on my website are quick to read, but very empowering.
Key tip: Don't seek advice from those around us that are not positive themselves
4. Consider Lifestyle Changes
Lifestyle changes, such as exercise, meditation, or healthy eating, can help manage stress and anxiety during times of change. Make sure to take care of your physical and emotional well-being during this time.
A 30min walk at lunchtime, close to the office or around the block really does make a big difference to our mood.
Couple the walk with some music you enjoy or as I've been doing for a while, listen to audio books.
My personal tip: I've walked through the woods with Harry Potter, Gandalf, Matthew McConaughey, Wim Hof, Rich Dad Poor Dad and Ant Middleton, as examples - Relaxing and Learning at the same time...
(I've left some links on my website for some great audiobooks)
Maybe drop the next coffee for water? Small things mount up over time.
Crucially, try and get more sleep than you're getting now.
5. Be Patient
Change is a process that takes time.
Be patient with YOURSELF and the PROCESS.
Remember that everyone adapts to change at their own pace. It may take weeks, months, or even years to fully adjust to a major life change.
In conclusion, managing the psychology of change can be challenging, but it's essential for personal growth and development. It's also important we take those closest to us, on the same journey.
Taking the first steps, continuously focusing on your goals, embracing positive thinking, considering lifestyle changes, and being patient can all help you successfully manage change in your life.
Remember that change is an opportunity to learn and grow, both in our personal lives and at work,
so embrace it with open arms
