ARE WE TOO PRESCRIPTIVE IN THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE?

In some areas it would seem so.  In general business it would not make sense to produce a product or service that we think is great but the customers don’t.  Most successful businesses would do lots of market research to see what their proposed customer base wanted before investing resources.  So why then does it […]

Our Negative Thoughts Makes Us Anxious

Have you ever paid attention to the narrative you tell yourself? I’m too fat;  I’m not good at relationships;  No one really likes me;  I’m rubbish at…;   I’m boring;  I’ve got to be the best;  Everyone is cleaver than I;  etc. etc. Some of these things may be true but if we go around telling ourselves them constantly and also […]

Spring Cleaning For the Mind

The return to sunshine  and lighter, longer days is usually an uplifting thing.  We feel more hopeful, more alive than those dark days of winter.  We want to renew and refresh our homes and sometimes our lives.  However for some of us we don’t feel that renewed energy – we just feel worse that we […]

ARE YOU HUNG OVER TODAY – AGAIN?

Feeling fragile today? Had a bit too much of a ‘Great’ weekend?  What made it ‘Great’?  Can you remember it even? If you find yourself feeling a little ‘rough’ on rare occasions, then I get it.   Sometimes we just need to blow off a little steam and although it might not be very PC for […]

Mother’s Day – A day for celebrating or a day for regrets?

Most of us instantly see Mothers Day as a day for celebrating and thanking our mums for looking after us and doing the best they could for us during our lives.  However by definition the noun Mother is “a woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth” and for […]

Red Nose Day 2019

Red Nose Day is about bringing people together to have fun, raise money and change the lives of kids who need our help the most.   Sounds, and is, a great idea.  Childhood should be the time of our lives when we are surrounded by love, empowerment and balance but in many families that is not […]

UNIVERSITY MENTAL HEALTH DAY

We all find big decisions concerning (they wouldn’t be big decisions if they weren’t) and gearing up as a young adult to get the best possible start to the rest of our lives sounds a pretty responsible thing to do.  However, when the pressure we, and others, put on ourselves to ‘get it right first […]

ARE YOU ANGRY AND IF SO ARE YOU SMOULDERING OR EXPLOSIVE?

Anger is a basic emotion that we are born with.  It can be both a good and a bad thing.  It can be indiscriminate fireworks or a cancerous bundle of resentment.  Anger in its pure form can be something that can empower us to do something and make changes.  However, depending on how much we […]

A Star Is Born 2018 – A story of Love, Loss and Addiction

I first saw this movie when it came out in 1976. At that time it was sad but I hadn’t “lost” then so like a lot of what we see and hear it didn’t resonate. This version depicts a great love and a family torn apart by addiction and this certainly resonated as I know […]

The Battle of Addiction

Every day people are silently (and not so silently) fighting a Battle.  A Battle against homelessness, a Battle against drugs, a Battle against alcohol, a Battle against pain – emotional as well as physical, a Battle against poverty.  These Battles may not be so well known as the bigger Battles carried out by Country against […]
