Focus On What’s Good In Your Life
It is so tempting to see only what needs fixing in our lives, because there’s always something, right? Life’s never perfect. We are never perfect. There’s always something to change and improve and polish and correct and develop. So why not focus on all those things? The weeds we need to cut back? The problems…

Hear Your Heart’s Whispers
Your heart is always whispering to you. It sends you messages of love and joy and possibility and yearning, and the more you ignore it, the more it hurts. You cannot fall in love with your life if you ignore your heart completely. Your heart wants to be heard. It wants you to know how…

Laugh Easily and Often (and for no good reason!)
Do you remember when you were a kid and you would start laughing with your friends…then someone would say ‘what are you laughing at?’ and the laughter would redouble…because you didn’t know what you were laughing at, you were just laughing. For no good reason. Which makes the puzzled person standing opposite you, asking what…

Put Your Friends At The Top Of Your Priority List
You gotta have friends. More than that, you gotta make time to see and speak to those friends. Friends make you laugh, allow you to vent your frustrations, they support, encourage and celebrate your successes, and they bring the best out in you.

Let me be clear – I am NOT a morning person – I am not naturally chipper and chirpy before I’ve been awake for an hour or so, but I do know that how you’re woken up makes a big difference to how you feel. One of my biggest rants in life is about the…

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,…
