Are you sure you know what happiness is – for you? Lot’s of my clients aren’t sure – and, sometimes when they get what they set their mind on, they discover they’re still not happy. So what is happiness? Try this for a definition of happiness – and then fill in your own personal details! Happiness is being really good at what you do, really enjoying it and getting really well paid for doing it. It is being in the whole of your health more...

Your subconscious mind creates the life you already have – it’s just that you’re not aware of it – or no-one ever told you that… until now. Change your subconscious mind and you change your life – there’s years of research and practical work that proves this. We all get the life we believe, deep down, that we’re entitled to. But beliefs are nothing more than snapshots stored deep in your subconscious mind more...

Did you know that your personal happiness – and the ability to be effortlessly successful – is directly linked to your ability to pay attention. Many years research shows that when you have a “peak moment” – a natural high – all your attention is wrapped up in that moment. But, it also works the other way around. If you can train your mind to pay attention to what you’re doing, to wrap your mind up in each moment more...

Whether you know it or not, you’re standing at a crossroads in your life in this very moment. Some people reach major career, relationship, health or financial crossroads and, because they’re so major, they sit up and take notice.

Your state of mind depends on decisions you make now. more...

How easy is it to go about your normal routine today when there is so much suffering in the world?

Yes, our lives are fraught with problems big and small but everything is relative more...

Everybody blames everybody else – the bankers got us into the economic mess we’re in at present, the politicians are responsible for the growing lack of law and order – the politicians, also, appear to be to blame for the bad weather (so say a couple of apparently respectable media outlets over the last couple of weeks) – big business is responsible for putting down the downtrodden workers and the unions are to blame for our economic lack of competitiveness. more...

Everyone wants to be a success but very few people do anything about it. They wish, hope, dream, set goals, write wish-lists, create vision boards (and hide them under the stairs – as one client told me recently!) – but they don’t take appropriate action. What is appropriate action? Well, believe it or not, it starts in the present moment and it’s effortlessly simple. First thing to ensure that you can answer a resounding “YES” to today’s question more...

Well, first of all, January 1st is a date on a calendar, an arbitrary date established by the Romans as the start of their new year. Every single day of your life is a new you opportunity – you don’t have to join the herd and then feel the pain along with all the other normal weirdoes.
