We all have a set of beliefs for every area of our lives; whether that be money, success, relationships, body image, you name it we have beliefs about it. We learn our beliefs, either consciously or sub-consciously, as we grow up. Those beliefs are very powerful and shape the decisions that we make and/or limits […]
I’m not quite sure where he’s got it from but from time to time my seven year old son declares that it should be “Opposite Day”. This is a topsy, turvy day when everything you say or do has to be the opposite. Hilarious to a seven year old! Today he has declared an Opposite
One of the major barriers that can hold people back in life is the inability to make decisions quickly. People can so easily get stuck when making a decision that it can almost appear better not to make a choice at all, rather than risking making the wrong one. They don’t even have to be
This weekend I’ll be travelling to London to present the Miss England Final. I’ll be combining presenting on stage with keeping the contestants calm and confident backstage. Part of the show this year is an “Eco” round where instead of buying something new, the girls have to re-cycle clothing from yesteryear and make it stand
Taking your car into the garage for a service or M.O.T. is routine but when did you last have yourself “checked out”? I recently took my car to be serviced. When I got my car back I could tell instantly that it was running better than ever. It got me thinking that, arguably, our mind

I work with a lot of people who are struggling with something in their lives. This might be low self-esteem, confidence issues or they may just be stuck and frustrated with an area of their lives. Quite often we will get on to the subject of that voice in their head. I ask them what
We recently adopted a rabbit (Freddie) from an Animal Rescue. He’s a beautiful, 8 month old, brown male Lionhead. When we brought him home we made him a sleeping area out of a box and gave him the run of the house so he could get used to us. However, I noticed something interesting. Although
We’ve all had experiences of suspecting that all is not well with someone we care about. We desperately want to help them, but whenever we try to talk to them they just clam up and say nothing is wrong and they’re fine – although we’re pretty sure they’re not. A lot of people are struggling
Today is “World Storytelling Day”. Adults and children all across the globe will be celebrating the art of storytelling by telling and listening to stories. I thought I would share one of my favourite short stories with you as a way for us to join in. It’s adapted from “The Star Thrower” by Loren Eiseley.
Have you noticed how as we get older, life seems to speed up? I remember feeling as a child that the summer holidays seemed to go on forever and Christmas took an age to come around again. It seems, as we hit the middle of March, that almost a quarter of the year has gone
