Can’t get no satisfaction?
Here’s a question for you to consider, hand on heart. Are you seeking satisfaction anywhere in your life? In your work, your relationships, family, social life, with your body, your health? Anywhere at all? Do want to tweak, change and improve certain areas, believing that you’ll be happier when you do? How’s that working out…
Why New Year’s Resolutions are hard to keep
New Years Resolutions are famous for falling by the wayside come February/March. The gym membership that gets used in January, then not so much month on month. The tidy house that within a few months is back to where it was before. The resolve to stop smoking, that becomes “a cheeky one” here and there,…
True nature. Be-ing you. The beginner’s guide series.
Last week we began by exploring the body and saw how the essence of us does not appear to live within the body. (If you missed that blog post you can find it here). We’re going to explore this a bit further today. Human Be-ing Did you know that neuroscientists have worked hard to…
Reading this post could be life changing
The term “life changing” can be so emotive. A life-changing injury. A life-changing opportunity. Having children will change your life. Being a victim of a crime or trauma is life-changing. A chance encounter with a stranger could change your life. And so on and so forth. So many assertions on how our lives are/could be…
Self-care Vs knowing yourself
Why self-care isn’t as caring as it appears. At the moment my social media feeds are full to bursting with articles and advertisements on the importance of self-care. These articles go into how important it is to look after yourself and what could happen if you don’t, before eventually going into ideas of different things…
Don’t follow your dreams
WTF? A coach, writing an article entitled “Don’t follow your dreams?” What next, a nutritionist telling you to eat processed food? The coaching world is absolutely choc-a-bloc with articles and courses on how to smash your goals, make your dreams come true and change your world. All of them look so enticing! I mean, to…
Calling out the ego
Not a day goes by when there isn’t fodder available for the ego to reinforce itself with. Whether that’s in the form of apparently inspiring quotations about what we can achieve. In references made which connect certain events with certain feelings, as if there is a direct causal link. Whether it’s in a conversation…
The unlucky list of broken dreams
Life isn’t always going to match up to our expectations. . . This article is for anyone who has a mental list of things that haven’t quite gone to plan, or aren’t quite the way you want them. There might only be one broken dream on the list, but if it’s a burden you are…
The futility of trying to get life RIGHT
Pause for a moment and consider how much of your behaviour is driven by some kind of attempt to get life right. Whatever right means to you. Whatever that behaviour may be. Healthy eating, treating yourself, exercising, relaxing, spending adequate time socialising, addressing your partner’s behaviour with him/her, striving to do a good job at…
Finding Yourself
What does finding yourself really mean? Does it mean working out what your passion is? Finding a special groove for yourself in the world? Deciding your next career move? Working out how to behave in certain situations? Finding some rules to live life by? Not in my book. Finding yourself means not resisting. It means…
