The Positives In An Away From
Think positive and always look on the bright side. Focus on what you want. Whatever you think about the universe will send your way. Your thoughts become things. Rubbish. I have consistently focused on a new car (whilst still cherishing the old one for continuing to start each day) for the last 4 years and ... (Read More)

Awakened Trance
I’ve been dabbling a lot more recently with awakened trance. What I mean by this is giving clear instructions and suggestions to clients whilst in a fully awakened but somewhat relaxed state. It has been working extremely well with children. Sometimes using “formal” trance doesn’t work. Especially with children and adults with busy brains that ... (Read More)

Offended
You know I never wanted to become that person that says “There comes a point in life when…” because I heard so many adults say that when I was younger. It was a sure sign that they were old and I was young. The ….’s at the end of the sentence above are space for ... (Read More)

Rewards
These days we are bombarded with rewards. There was a time when rewards were for children and stickers on a star chart but now rewards have crept into the adult world. Sainsbury’s, Tesco’s and Boot’s all reward me for shopping with them. If I buy an offer online, I am sometimes rewarded with a bonus. ... (Read More)

Letting Go and Moving On
Sometimes us human beings are so shaped and influenced by our will and desire to succeed and make good of every situation that life throws at us, we forget that there is a real reward and skill in letting go and moving on. It’s as if letting go and moving on is giving up. And ... (Read More)

Getting Help
I don’t like asking for help. I’ve realised that recently after having problems with my next door neighbour. My challenge around asking for help (I have psycho-analysed) has something to do with me being: a) Independent from a young age b) A bit shy sometimes (yes me!) c) A dislike of admitting I can’t do ...

Coping with Grief
Wikipedia states that: Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or something to which a bond was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioural, social, and philosophical dimensions. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement often refers to the ... (Read More)

Deciding and Knowing
Most people like to be good decision makers and most people enjoy the feeling of knowing something. When you have decided something, it brings with it commitment and comfort. These are strong emotions that have a sense of security and stability. They meet the need for certainty, which allows you to relax and be completely ... (Read More)

Spontaneity
If you’ve ever read a book The Yes Man (seen the film which isn’t nearly as good) you’ll know a thing or two about being spontaneous. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, it is the story of a man who decides to say “yes” more often and the journey that follows as ... (Read More)

Using NLP with “Others”
One of the best things about NLP is the way in which one can covertly weave it into an everyday problem focused conversation and spin it into something more resourceful. You can talk to people and be NLPing them without them even knowing it is happening. One of my best accounts of having used NLP ... (Read More)

I Just Don’t Like Pickled Eggs
I went to a party that I hadn’t really wanted to attend. I went because I knew that in doing so I’d be supporting a friend of mine who was keen for me to be there. The party was held in a pub and when we arrived she introduced me to an interesting man who ... (Read More)

Go Outside
I’ve noticed something. People with problems spend too much time inside. I don’t mean that they don’t get enough fresh air (though that will hardly do any harm.) I mean inside their own heads. People who worry are inside their heads all the time. They are having a chat with themselves about all the things ... (Read More)

However, a lot of the stress in our lives is unnecessary and can easily be eliminated by taking a few simple steps… The first step is to identify what causes you stress. Take 10 minutes ...

Trust
We all possess some level of this important emotion already. Even if there are trust issues currently in your life there are certain things that you can continue to trust. You trust that the sun will rise in the morning, you trust that the traffic will stay on the other side of the road when ... (Read More)

Realistic
I set a goal, I worked towards it. I stuck a visual representation of it on my dream board. I imagined achieving it every day and felt the feelings I would have felt if I had achieved it. I lived like I’d already done it and each new day further action to get me there ... (Read More)

The ME in Team
When I left my NLP trainers training, I knew that I wanted to be teaching NLP and Hypnotherapy. I knew that I would need to start up a business and start marketing it and I also knew that I couldn’t do it alone. Having worked for many years in team settings (some better than others!) ...

7 Things That Stop You
1) You tell yourself you do not have enough (fill in the gap). The gap could be time, money, support, intellect, skill. You get the idea. A very talented speaker I know once said to an audience of 6000 people “If you suddenly had to find an extra £10,000 in the next two weeks could ... (Read More)

Time
If you could be a time traveler, where would you go? Into the past to fix the stuff that didn’t quite work out as you’d hoped or into the future to mischievously adjust your outcomes causing them to be wildly successful, much to the annoyance of all those who stare back at the past with ...

Making Time to Meditate (or whatever else floats your boat)
Making time to meditate is not essential. You will not starve without it, you will not suffocate without it and you will not dehydrate without it. It is not essential in your survival as a human being. However if you want to function better, feel better and achieve more then it might be something worth ... (Read More)

Streamlining
Over the last few months I have been looking at ways in which to get my work slicker and easier to manage. This has included set blocked times for therapy, shortening the newsletter and podcast and hiring someone to take on some of the work. Another idea I have had is to link the podcast ... (Read More)
