You’re Not A Hippo, So Stop Wallowing
A Hippo may love to wallow in mud, but you my dear, are not a hippo…and you do not need to wallow in things that are getting you down, situations that are pissing you off, or relationship issues where someone is being an asshat. It’s ok to have a bit of a rant or process…

Don’t Climb Mount Kilimanjaro to Get Chocolate
Who do you want to be? Not a specific who, like ‘Beyonce’ (I mean, who wouldn’t want to be her – girl’s got it going on!), but a type of person ‘who’. Do you want to be light, joyful, happy, peaceful, calm, confident, sexy? Be that then. Start now, today to be the person you…

Tapping Into The Infinite Creative Well
As recently as 3 years ago, I thought I wasn’t that creative. I’d been blogging for years, I’d written 2 ebooks and enough articles to fill 6 books, I’d had all sorts of creative ideas…but I wasn’t ‘creative’. Ok, I could write a bit, but other creative pursuits were off limits as “I’m no good…

The Monster Under The Bed Is Normally Just A Sock
Fear can paralyse you, can stop you from doing anything new with your life, can stop you from trying things, can stop you from enjoying your life, because you’re too afraid to change or to try. Don’t let this happen to you. Most of what we’re afraid of never happens. And those things that do,…

Don’t Let Anyone Put You Down
Sometimes people around us inadvertently put us down…sometimes they do it deliberately, but whether it’s intended or not, don’t accept it. You don’t have to have a massive confrontation, you can just ignore it. (Although I do love a well placed “who do you think you’re talking to” or a clear “that’s not a nice…

If Your Bladder is Full, Go To The Toilet
There’s a conversation I have with clients fairly often about seeing the signs and using them as a reminder. Like when your bladder is full, you go to the toilet. When your fuel guage is low, you go to the garage. There is no bargaining with the bladder and the fuel tank…you might keep them…

Are You Wasting Time and Energy Trying to Change Others?
So, I guess, like me, that you KNOW that if only the world would do as you tell it to, it would be a perfect place, right? Never mind the fact that the attitude is a wee bit dictatorish, and I know that you are a lovely person…if other people would just behave the way…

Do You Think The World Is Heading to Hell In A Handbasket?
One of the things I am most irritated by in life is the news. It’s always so bloody negative. The news media delights in pulling people down, in reporting ‘facts’ in the worst possible light and in telling us all horror stories about the way the world works. No wonder a lot of people think…

Embrace What You Love (Even if it’s Deeply Uncool)
What do you love to do? More importantly, what do you love to do that you’re a little bit embarrassed about? Maybe the thing you only do when no one is watching…like watching archealogical programs or reading kids books or listening to classical music or knitting or dancing around to teen-pop boy band music. If…
