thinkingfit Articles & Tips
This page will contain articles and short and practical tips to reflect on- and perhaps apply in your own lives. Hopefully you will be able to benefit from these entries. I personally always carry a journal in my handbag and use it to capture useful tips and information as I move through every day. Sources of my entries are personal experience, other people, newspapers, interesting book titles etc. These provide ideas for me to ponder upon and how to improve my life in every area, from work to emotional growth and wellbeing. Ideas are like birds and if we do not capture them they fly away someone once said! I call my journal “A little book of big ideas.”
