SUMO Latest

If you've read Utter Drivel before then you might remember that I am a fan of The SUMO Guy - Paul McGee. Here's a link to The SUMO website.

I thought I would just share with you his most recent newsletter.

SUMO stands for Shut Up, Move On and is a helpful philosophy to deal with difficulties in life.  I used this approach a lot in my last job as a staff welfare officer.

Paul has been working with education bodies and has now launched SUMO4Schools.  When working with schools he changes what the SUMO acronym means - Stop, Understand, Move On.

So I thought I would just put this out there for my readers to consider what's going on for you in your life and whether SUMO might help.  Do you need to take time to Stop and Understand?  What does Moving On mean for you.

Here are some questions to ask yourself.

1. What's going well at the moment?
2. What's going less well?
3. What do you need to do more of?
4. What do you need to do less of?

Moving On can sometimes mean letting go - and this can seem really scary.

And finally - you can tell you're getting old when the phrase "Happy Hour" means time for a nap.

Right I'm off to get my head down for a couple of hours!
