The very first step in creating your ideal life is to get very clear on what it looks like. This isn’t rocket science, it’s just much easier to get what you want if you know what that is.
Take some time to sit down and really think about this. If you could have your ideal life in 3, 6 or even 12 months time, what does it look like? Where are you living? What are you doing? Who is around you? What do you do in your spare time? How much money do you have? What do you look like? Read More

Have you set yourself some really big goals this year? Something you really want to achieve, but have no idea how yet? Is there a danger it might end up going in the “too-hard” basket and ending up back on the New Year’s resolution list again next year?

Are you suffering from overwhelm? Do you ever wish the world would stop so you can get off? Do you feel like your life is just one never-ending circle? It might be time to simplify.

Are you harbouring a grudge against someone, or something? If you are, and you think this is affecting the other party concerned, then you are seriously misleading yourself. The only person that you are hurting by holding onto these negative thoughts, is you! Do yourself a favour and let it go. The power and benefits of forgiveness is huge, but admittedly it is sometimes easier said than done.

Are you the sort of person who sets the same New Year’s resolutions year after year and never actually makes them happen? Maybe you set yourself goals with the best intentions but run out of enthusiasm halfway, or maybe you never even manage to get started?
One of the big secrets to successful goal setting is to set goals that you want to achieve. That might sound like its too easy, but who said it had to be difficult? Sure achieving your goals will require some effort from you, but you’re much more likely to commit to making that effort if you are working towards something that you really want for yourself. So that means sorting out the ‘want to’ goals from the ‘should” goals.

Many clients come to me in despair with problems and issues that actually belong to other people – partners, children, friends, family members, work colleagues. Often they’ve tried to get these people to change their offending behaviour and failed. And therein lies the problem. We can’t change other people, nor do we have any right to. People will change if and when they want to and not a moment sooner.

I was reminded the other day of a story I was told a few years ago. It was about a speaker who pulled a crisp, fresh $100 note out of his pocket and offered it to his audience. “who would like this $100 note?” he asked. Of course nearly everyone was keen to accept it with hands waving madly in the air. “What about this $100 note?” he asked offering a more worn, dirtier looking note, instead. Still the same people responded, happy to accept the money. Then he took the worn, dirty note, screwed it up in a ball and stood on it, squashing it into the ground. When he picked it up, the $100 was barely recognisable but still he offered it to the crowd and still he was met with the same enthusiastic response. No matter what he did to that piece of paper, it still held it’s same true value, it was still worth $100.

Most people probably know that it’s beneficial to think positive. To really reap the rewards, you need to take that a step further, though. It’s not just about “thinking” positively, you need to “feel” positive.
We’ve all heard sayings such as “you reap what you sow” and “you get out what you put in”. The basis behind these is that what we put out into the Universe is what we attract back. So if you’re putting positive stuff out, you will attract good stuff back, and if you’re putting negative stuff out then you will attract more of the same.

Do you know people that just seem to be born lucky? You know the sort I mean. They always seem happy and positive and quite effortlessly good things just seem to happen to them. No matter what curve balls get thrown at them, they always keep their smile on, nothing seems to phase them and somehow things always seem to turn out well for them. Well you can be one of these people too. These people actually create their luck and here is a “how-to guide” on how you too can be lucky:
