IF YOU SCORED MAINLY

What's essential for your dream career?

Collaboration

As a people person who sees the best in most folk, collaboration is an essential part of a happy working life for you. You are natural networker, even though you may not think of it this way to you, it's just getting on with people.

When you're excited by a new project or idea, you can't help sharing that enthusiasm with others and getting them involved, and you know that working with others brings out the best in you. You may be capable of getting on with things on your own, but it isn't long before it feels flat and joyless, or you just feel a bit lost.

With your developed sense of empathy, you can see most people's point of view, and you don't particularly like conflict, so there may be times when you struggle to make a decision that keeps everyone happy. But you usually find a way, partly because you can win people over and gain their trust.

You no doubt already know that a job within a team is your ideal environment, preferably with in-person contact, but virtual working can also be rewarding if it's a group effort with a shared goal and responsibilities. And ensuring you have some face-to-face contact during the working day - even just a coffee with a friend - will help you flourish.

OTHER PEOPLE'S STRESS...isn't yours to carry

Whether you're at home or work, visiting with friends or catching up with family, the start of the year can stir up old emotions and leave us feeling a little off-kilter. Because New Year's stress doesn't just come from the dark, the weather or even the lack of cash - it's also from the people around us.

Don't fear the D-WORD

While most of us associate this month with fresh starts — new routines, dry spells, gym sign-ups — those who work in the relationship world call it something far more sobering: divorce month. And for good reason.

HARMONY at home

We spend weeks preparing our homes for Christmas...but does anyone prepare for when it's over? You know the feeling: the decorations have come down, the mince pies have been eaten, but your home doesn't feel like it's supporting you into the new year. I believe this is because our homes hold energetic residue.

MOVING FROM GUILT TO GRACE

How many times a day do you hear yourself saying sorry? ‘Sorry, could I just…?’ ‘Sorry, I can’t make it tonight.’ ‘Sorry, I’m not free.’ We apologise for taking up space, for saying no, for changing our minds, even for wanting something different. Sometimes it just slips out before you’ve even had time to check if it belongs there.
