I am reaching out to see if anyone wants to listen. This will hopefully become a place where you can find some good pointers to help you think differently and create new behaviours. That could help you to move forward, in a positive way, to potentially lead a better life. (Disclaimer; anything I offer here …
When it comes to deciding, we have our unique way of approaching the process. From the simple, Tea or coffee? Black or white? Sugar or not? To the bigger stuff, what job to take? If we are changing location, which house do we buy? Or should we rent? Whilst we all approach these decisions with …
Or, why not have a better day! If I told you that it was totally your choice, would you believe me? I am not here today to argue or persuade you to believe this but I am here to offer you a powerful tool. One that all of us already use, every single day. However, …
I like to keep things simple. Life can sometimes find its own way of throwing complications into the mix, so why add to the furore? Would you like up or down? A or B? Left or right? Two options, simple to choose between. Most of the time you cannot have both. It is one or …

How often do we do things without really thinking about it? What parts of our day are we truly engaged with? Think of your normal day and the myriad of tasks that you complete. From switching off the alarm at the start of the day, to switching it back on, at the end of the …
There were always parts of every job that I have ever had, which were not the best part of the job. Those parts ranged from the mundane or boring, to the downright frustrating or physically draining. Sometimes it may even have made me lose sight of what an otherwise good job I had. For example, …
We often talk about things in a stereotypical way. “The I10 is always backed up”, “The queue outside the coffee shop is always longer, around 8.am.” or ” The boss always walks in while I am looking at my phone!”. The things that we experience or notice on a regular basis, seem to be the …
There is an old expression. You win some, you lose some. A saying. Not really a fable, per say but one of those expressions. Like a lot of these old sayings, they are passed around from generation to generation. Usually handed over from person to person, to help prove a point or offer some kind …
