Lets talk money Are you fed up with the frustration of money not working for you? Not having enough money, saving too much money? Do you want freedom from the chains of your money woes? Where you are now doesn't have to have a bearing on your future.  Do you want your future to be different? You do. Read on now so you can make a change.  Do you want to be filthy stinking rich? Please get a pen and paper and write down your answer to this question.   Then answer: WHY (I'll come back to this at the end of the article) The subject of money has generally been a forbidden subject. We aren't supposed to talk about money. People never spoke of what they earned, how much they had and how much they saved.  I'd love to help you with money .   And today I will!! I'm not going to give you some money (sorry), although as we all know that wouldn't really solve anything. It would, at best, give you a temporary burst...

Yourself First Why Me First Have you ever noticed when you are in an aeroplane they tell you to put your own mask on first in an emergency. The reason is that you are in a better position to help others when you are okay yourself. Another way of looking at it is that your cup needs to be full and then you can serve people from your overflowing) cup.  What is Self Care This was a question I first asked my self a few years ago. Its become a buzz word, and I'm not keen on buzz words personally, because I feel they lose their meaning. Self care - is when you consider yourself look after yourself.  Don't wait for others to help you and care for you. Take on this job yourself. What is it though - it's discovering your needs in order to feel happier, and more fulfilled, and then getting those needs met. This isn't selfish - this is protecting yourself. Get to know yourself, get to know what you need and then find a healthy way to fulfill those ne...

Remove Your Boundaries (I want it and I want it now!) Why can't I have what I want? Do you ever wonder why you can't have what you want. The truth is that you can. The question  you need to ask yourself is “what's holding me back”. This is a better place to start. The answer  to the first question is that you can have what you want; first you need to know what you want. It's not money and it's not a new car and it's  not delicious food - well it is - but these are  just the vehicle to get what you want - what you  really really want is a feeling. The feeling that having any one (or all ) of those things gives you. What's holding me back? Not that you are asking the right question we can begin to get to the right answer. The long  and short of it is that limiting beliefs are holding you back. If you read the previous blog -  you will already know that we are run by programmes within our subconscious.  Programmes ...

The Flip Side of Crisis So we acknowledge that there is a crisis. We know we have survived a crisis before - probably more than one, definitely more than one. We are still here though aren't we.  So what do we do with this crisis - we turn it around. We look at it from a different angle.  What's your angle So everyone is saying it is a crisis and that's bad? Well did you try looking at it from a different perspective? The world is about balance. Which side of the crisis do you want to be on. The side with all the ‘victims’  - do you really want to be another victim of the crisis? While everyone is stuck on one side of it how about you go around the other side. Don't see it as a road block. See it as part of your road map.  D o you know where you want to go?  Maybe really the issue is that you don't know where you want to go in life, or maybe you just don't know how to get there. Imagine you were at sea in a sailboat and suddenly the ...

Mind your Mind The Buddha referred to the mind as a wild horse.  It runs free chasing one thing after another.  We need to tame it  - so are you leading your mind or is it leading you? Are you taking the lead? When we don't take charge, we are making the choice not to make a decision and not to be in control. People who label themselves a procrastinator are experts at this.  Can you imagine having access to the best and fastest machine in the world. A machine so amazing and powerful that it's better than the best computer. Its google search is faster, it has all your memories stored and can remember every emotion that is connected to every experience.  You can change its programmes and make it do and behave and respond exactly as you want. How fabulous would that be? There is one drawback - you don't know how to operate it. Do you know how to operate it? Imagine you knew how to operate it. You could be ...
