In my work I pay close attention to people’s beliefs and their self-talk. Often the beliefs were created around a trauma they experienced at some point in their life. This is a natural survival instinct, where the mind tries to make sense of what happened and to help us to avoid similar painful situations in…

Last week I looked at the benefits of being ‘selfish’, but how does this relate back to what I said at the beginning about Positive Thinking? To me it’s about being open and honest with ourselves and – where it’s appropriate – with those around us. If you’re having a challenging day, admit it! Don’t…

In last week’s post I started looking at why positive thinking alone might not be enough. Instead, I think the answer lies in becoming more aware of: our thoughts and self-talk the impact of what we listen to / read / watch the influence of those we spend our time with the effect that all…

Summer corresponds to the ovulatory phase in a woman’s cycle which is when a woman can conceive, therefore I am going to share my insights about being a mother…

I wonder if silence actually exists? Even as I sit here in silence I can hear the hum of the computer, my fingers on the keyboard, the breeze singing through my wind chime, a dog somewhere in the distance… If I was under the sea, I would hear the sound of my own breathing. In…

Did you ever have one of those moments of sudden insight? I had one today, sitting in a bookshop, sipping coffee. (Yes, a bookshop that serves coffee – what could be better?) A woman at the next table was on the phone, giving the person on the other end of the line directions to her…

Habit is so easy to slip into and so familiar that you will be distracted without realising it. Virtually every single home in the western world has a TV on most of the day and evening, and we are so easy to manipulate through the TV. Ask yourself how often during the day or evening…
