I can't believe January is over today and we are already moving on to valentines day and the first school half term of the year. How are you doing with your new year re-solutions?I had an awesome interview with Gilly onthe speak-easy radio show on www.playvybz.com this week where we spoke about resolutions as well as lots of other topics, it was a great show and the station owner Andrea Photiou is young entrepreneur who is doing amazing things.Here is a video snippet of my radio interview - http://theppsn.ning.com/video/gilly-interviews-sophia-bailey which tells you a couple of things you maybe didnt know about me ;-) but the whole interview is 90 minutes, I'll be posting it to the PPSN site soon. - http://theppsn.ning.comAfter the Obama Inauguration, everyone is looking for their perfect Mr or Mrs Obama and it has sparked many a debate about how to attract that perfect person. If you were in our online networking event on Jan 20th you would have picked up a few tips but if you have any tips to share, i'd love to hear them.It also got me thinking about the dating scene and who or what is really on offer?" If you want to receive the best from others, you must accept the best in you"Sophia BaileyWith Valentines day coming up soon, I've had a few event invites but listening to some single people, you'd forgive me for thinking there is no point in trying."women only want my friendship " ,"women just want my money" , "men just want one thing"We do a lot of talking about what's lacking in other people but we skip past what we're actually offering. We know we have to become like the person we wish to attract, or why else would they want us?;but in addition, believing that people are attracted to you for one thing means you believe you only have one thing to offer - Think about that."What you believe about yourself determines how you show yourself and people will always treat you the way you see you."You might find that you continually attract people looking for someone that offers just one thing, be it people that are healing and just want friendship, deceptive people that just want money or married people who want a fling.Things wont change until you start to see yourself as someone who no longer offers one thing but has a long list of things to offer.This fortnight write a list of your best qualities, get your loved ones to list good things about you and list the best qualities of people you admire, they reflect you too.On Valentines Day, read your list to remind yourself of the amazing all inclusive package that you are.Sophia Xxp.s If you are enjoying my new column in the Voice newspaper 'Words of Wisdom' do send a note to the editor@gvmedia.co.uk This weeks column is on page 30...

Naturally.1. Wake up with a smile - There is no better way to start the day than to be faced with something lovely as soon as you open your eyes. So find a picture of something you really love, whether that a picture of the latest sports car, a beautiful bunch of flowers, you favourite old teddy or something you find really funny and position it so that as soon as you wake up you see it...........and smile.

I'm sure that I wasn't alone in setting new and better expectations of myself in 2009......TO READ MORE VISIT - http://theppsn.ning.com/profiles/blogs/2009-your-goals-your-futureBEAUTY OR THE BEASTBY ROGER MILLARLook at this image above what do you see a young woman, or an old hag? Whatever you can see try and see the opposite you will probably struggle to see itMany of you will have already seen, at some point in your lives, this classic optical illusion. How can this picture be used from a coaching perspective?A school of thought suggests that the majority of women who look at this picture will see the old hag, the theory goes that women are generally unhappy about some aspect of their appearance, hence they see and focus on the negative aspects first and lastTO READ MORE VISIT - http://theppsn.ning.com/profiles/blogs/beauty-or-the-beast
