‘Interesting, fascinating and totally wonderful — food for the mind, to pick you up and change your mood…’
A little book with a big heart — open it on any page, read for five minutes, and come away feeling just a little bit better about things.
A Little Book With a Big Heart
Have you ever started the day feeling reasonably positive and full of good intentions — only to find that by mid-morning the life has been completely sucked out of you?
Perhaps it was the difficult colleague at the water cooler. Or the unreasonable boss. Or the traffic. Or simply one of those days where nothing catastrophic has happened, and yet everything feels just a little bit flat.
The Little Book of Instant Motivation was written for exactly those moments.
It’s not a heavy self-help manual. It doesn’t require you to sit down and work through exercises or fill in worksheets. You can open it on any page, read for five minutes, and come away feeling — well, just a little bit better about things.
Which, sometimes, is exactly what we need.
Inside the book
What’s Inside?
Uplifting stories
From real people who faced extraordinary setbacks and came out the other side stronger, wiser and more remarkable for it. People who were told no — repeatedly — and went ahead anyway.
Practical wisdom
Including how to protect your Personal Power from the people and situations that try to drain it every single day, and what to do when they succeed.
The science made simple
A straightforward look at how your brain actually works, why you sometimes feel stuck despite your best intentions, and — crucially — what you can do about it.
Proven techniques
Including Affirmations, which are not the fluffy nonsense some people think they are, but a scientifically backed method for rewiring the way you think.
A generous helping of humour
Because life is sometimes genuinely absurd, and laughing at it is one of the best tools we have.
And Charlie
Charlie is a chimp — inspired by the work of Professor Steve Peters — and she pops up throughout the book with her own rather direct take on things. Watch out. She can be a little feisty.

From the author
A Note From Sally
This book started life as a collection of motivational quotes scribbled on bits of paper and stuffed into old files. Over the years of training individuals and groups, these notes grew into something rather more.
I want to be honest with you — my role as author is perhaps more one of re-teller and simplifier than originator. I have drawn on the wisdom of brilliant people I have read and studied over many years, and I am grateful to all of them.
What I can tell you is that everything in this book has been chosen because it works. Not in theory. In real life. With real people. Including me.
I hope it gives you a little lift, a little laugh, and perhaps something that stays with you long after you’ve closed the page.
Written with an open heart.

Want to Go Deeper?
The ideas in this book — Personal Power, Limiting Beliefs, Affirmations, Positive Psychology — are the same foundations that underpin everything I do as a coach. If reading the book sparks something in you, and you’d like to explore what it might look like to work on these things properly — with support, accountability and a plan tailored specifically to you — I’d love to have a conversation.
