Clients often come to me frustrated. They feel like they are ‘getting in their own way’. That they ‘should’ be able to sort their mindset struggles by themselves. Outside the situation, they are often able to see things differently. But this isn’t helping them in the moment! 🤯

Many of us grew up playing sport before psychology was a big focus, and actively working on our mindset challenges may be something new. But if you are struggling, please don’t feel you are alone.

Ipswich are promoted! I remember posting something very similar previously! My husband is an Ipswich fan, so it’s a big day in our house! ⚽️🍾

Today brought a change of sport for me and my Battle Axes teammates, as we swapped Walking Football for the annual Good Friday Marbles matches! As always, alongside the marbles was the hotly contested ‘Fancy Dress’ competition! Winning last year as ‘The Five Patsies’ we had a lot to live up to, and were thrilled to come a very respectable ‘Runners Up’ with our ‘Icons of Pop’ theme. (I won’t mention the actual marbles, we didn’t do so well in that! 😂). A fun day as always!

Bit of a different topic today but would really love to hear your thoughts! 💭

From a consumer (as opposed to creator) perspective, what are your thoughts/feelings around AI content, such as blog posts, social posts etc? Do you care, for example, if a blog post has been AI generated? Or do you want to know a ‘person’ has written it?

I have personally shied away from going down the AI route, feeling that if I put a blog post out there, I really want to have written it fully myself (even if it means I can produce fewer of them!). It feels more authentic to me. I have also stopped following people when I have realised a lot of their content is AI generated. BUT I am very aware that others have quite different opinions, and love how much more content can be created and delivered.

So what are your thoughts? Happy with AI content? Does it depend on the content type? Would you prefer a ‘person’ created it? Or no preference at all? 🤔

**NEW BLOG POST**
This month is about Performance Anxiety and specifically, those pesky ‘what if’ thoughts that many of us seem to struggle with! It is a short post (for ease of reading, I know you are all busy!) and I have only really scratched the very surface in this post, but if you are struggling, hopefully it is enough to provide a few ideas and give you faith that help is available 💕

One of the challenges I often support my clients with is performance anxiety. This can take many forms, but often involves a lot of unwanted thoughts cropping up at undesirable times. This ‘cognitive anxiety’ (our thoughts) is distinct from physiological (or ‘somatic’) anxiety (which may inv...
