Motivate yourself .........

Founder Jane is a qualified coach. She recommends asking yourself the following questions using her copyright model BEING © 


B  - base - where am I now on my journey ?

E - envisage where you want to be - make this an inspirational picture,  

      imagine congratulating yourself or others congratulating you on your  

      progress

I - why is achieving this important to you ? How will you feel when you get  

     there ? What can you do to keep yourself motivated ?

N - next steps - what steps might help you make this journey ?

G - which of these potential steps are you going to do ? Which ones (s) can  

      you do today ? 


Self coaching planner form available here

Remember - start today - don't delay and taking small steps is better than taking no steps!

"Help - I've got wasps / rats etc in my home / garden ...."

" I don't want them there, but don't want to kill them either"

Information - Animal Aid


Founder Jane had a rat in her loft. John Bryant gave advice that was simple to do and it worked. 1 week later the rat had left of it's own accord and Jane was left with a rat free loft and a clear conscience!

Sadly John passed away in 2020 but Humane Wildlife Solutions offer the same cruelty free approach https://humanewildlifesolutions.co.uk/
