It's supposedly Blue Monday. And it's my last expert slot on Celebrity Big Brother tonight...
Hope you kept warm and cozy up to the weekend! It was the perfect weekend for cuddling up with partners, and/or spending time with friends and family.
It's called blue Monday today - it's supposed to be the most depressing day of the year but don't buy into that - make sure you keep connected to your partner, friend or family even if you can't spend time with them like you have over the weekend. You can give each other that emotional boost to combat loose feelings today through messages and phone calls.
Tonight I'm heading out to the Big Brother studios for my last expert slot [I'm packing a snow shovel and snowsuit!] - it's been a unique series - unlike most series there haven't been two distinct groups. Usually is the case with a large group they break into two smaller ones and, yes, there have been the men and there have been the women ... and then there was Spencer and Heidi or Speidi. Apart from the ructions with Speidi the two groups have got along together.
The most entertaining part has been the comedy from Rylan and Razor - an unlikely pair to become friends, almost like the father and son - this is what makes human behaviour so interesting - and sometimes entertaining because of the unexpected relationships that can form.
TODAY’S TIP: It's got me thinking of group dynamics at work - I always think the best way to tackle them is to make the most of your interactions with any colleague rather than join a clique.
But sometimes there's no option and people feel they have to align themselves with one group of colleagues or another.
My personal way of dealing with these things is always think of the bigger picture and the long "game" by trying to see the best in what each workmate has to offer. And to handle differences in a professional way... who wants turmoil where they work?
Happy Monday, Pamx
