Many people find it difficult to commit to exercising. One of the reasons for this is being focused on wanting to look a particular way which may not happen for 6 months. If you show up for each session with your end goal in mind, you might find yourself getting frustrated or impatient because you … Continue reading A great reason to exercise

Getting ready for what you want
If there's something that you want and something that you're working towards, you might find that you don't quite know what to do once you finally get it. We spend so much time wishing and pining for the things that we want that sometimes it takes finally getting them for us to realise that we … Continue reading Getting ready for what you want
Robin Hood
Robin Hood is infamously known as the one who 'steals from the rich to give to the poor.' He is an interesting character because he forces us to see things from a different point of view. If asked, we would probably all say that stealing is wrong but would consider it less wrong if it … Continue reading Robin Hood
Pace, pace, Lead
Something I read in a book about NLP. Sometimes I'm a little hesitant to embrace every aspect of NLP because using methods to influence people in your favour is potentially unethical or at least comes across as manipulative. But other times I find that NLP can provide a useful guide on how to word things … Continue reading Pace, pace, Lead
The planning process
Or how to get caught in false productivity, when really you're just wasting time. You could spend forever planning if you really wanted to.

I think that's fine up to a point but it's also important to consider that each individual has their own desires. You could have access to … Continue reading Expectations of others
Knowing when to quit
Sometimes we back down from situations because upon reflection we can clearly see that the reason we pushed on with vigor and enthusiasm is simple because you felt as though you'd gone too far to turn back. Or perhaps, you just didn't want to accept that you were wrong. But other times we back down … Continue reading Knowing when to quit
Responding and reacting
The way you would react when you're angry, upset, frustrated or annoyed is not the same way you'd respond when you're calm and relaxed. Of course this is fairly obvious, yet how many times have you allowed your feelings to get the better of you instead of simply taking some time. What ends up happening … Continue reading Responding and reacting
Necessary regulations
Sometimes it can feel like regulations don't give us the freedom that we desire. Then suddenly, when there's chaos we call out for the need to be regulated. The truth is we only want to be regulated when it suits us and that usually corresponds with our safety. What's the need for rules when no … Continue reading Necessary regulations
Tackling the issue
If you know what the issue is, do something about it. You might be nervous or feel like you don't have the confidence but the issue will only persist if you don't take action. And don't be half-hearted, tackle it with full gusto. Have the conversations that need to be had and do the things … Continue reading Tackling the issue
