‘To be or not to be.. The rabbit caught in the headlights’ Sarah Collier November 2009 “I have been there, I have looked over the edge, and I have returned” Sir Laurence Olivier wrote these words in his autobiography about how he coped with his stage fright. Many actors, singers and performers have experienced anxiety or stage fright at one point in their career. ....

Relationships are funny things… Or at least they should be if they’re going to last. I don’t just mean relationship in the sense of that special someone in your life or bed. We all have many and varied relationships in our daily lives - work colleagues, friends and family. Some are powerful and passionate and others fleeting and fickle but all are important. Or are they? I had a very....

When I first studied NLP I mistakenly thought that having control of my mind meant I could immunise myself from life. If something bad happened I’d just make it so that it didn’t matter and I hadn’t really wanted it anyway. A bit like the guy running for the train just as the doors close only to do that funny little dance as if to say “just out for a morning jog, what train? Oh that....

I recently spent four days alone in a rustic cabin on a bluff on the wild Washington coast. I worked on my novel, read, napped, did yoga, ate huge salads, sat in the sunshine, and watched eagles eat crab scavenged from the ocean’s edge. It was one of the most truly restful retreats I’ve ever savored. It wasn’t so long ago, however, that I would have taken this time to rest but instead....

A short time ago I was working with 2 clients each of whom was going through a similar challenge. Both were in the early stages of a relationship. Each could see the potential and were enjoying getting to know the new and wonderful person who’d come into their lives. The challenge was that the new partners of both my clients were in the process of changing jobs and moving house. ....

Three is the magic number By focusing extra attention on what we are doing and accomplishing with our time, we can both achieve and find time ‘to do’ more of what we love. I first explored the idea of ‘done’ lists when working with American life coach Michael Neill, probably my most productive period yet. You see, I’m a ‘lists’ kind of guy. Preparing for a meeting, make a....

I remember when I was a student I had a series of temp jobs. I hated every one of them but grudgingly did them dutifully as the cash came in handy. The best feeling I can remember from that time was on the days I just quit. I remember one particular job that I quit ‘because it was sunny’. Ok, I didn’t really quit because it was sunny. I quit because it was a terrible job and the....

What do you want, and how do you know that you can’t have it? For most of us there is a feeling that there must be more to life than this. More money, more free time, more success or a more meaningful purpose than whatever is currently occupying your time. The good news is that, if you’re thinking that, almost always there is an alternative, and finding it can be easier than you....

What does exercise do for menopause? Exercise cannot prevent menopausal symptoms, but it can decrease the frequency and severity of some symptoms. They include hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, headache, lethargy and fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and depression. In general, we encourage all women from before menopause to postmenopause to begin and stick with an exercise program. Why do....

Even working a modest 45 hours a week (part time I hear you cry!), you’ll spend a staggering 90,000 hours in the office, striving to stay ahead of the competition, work your way up the ladder and hit your targets. Here’s a little secret: ‘The only sustainable competitive advantage is the ability to learn and adapt faster than your competitors’. Arie de Geus So how do you do that?....

Last week I saw the epitome of stress. The plump guy on the phone, red faced, barked his instructions, pausing only long enough to draw breath, berate a subordinate and check his spreadsheet, while another phone buzzed on his desk. A common scene in the city, but this was not the trading floor of the stock exchange or money market. This was Loch Lomond and the guy was hiring out ‘pleasure’....

How often do you change your lion? This summer, which was supposed to be a quiet one to let me recharge my batteries has turned out to be one of the busiest periods ever for my private practice. Then, right in the middle of it I was offered the chance to work in the middle east at very short notice. It was a wonderful opportunity and my heart jumped at the chance even if my body wasn’t so....

Around two-thirds of the human body is made up of water and although we can live for weeks without food we can only survive a few days without water. Our body’s water supply is essential for regulating our internal organs and is involved in nearly every bodily process including digestion, absorption, circulation, breathing and excreting waste material out of the body. Water is....

More and more people nowadays are recognising the benefits of using hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) to overcome day-to-day problems such as smoking, weight issues, stress and anxiety. What is not so well known, is that these same techniques can be used very safely and effectively with children to help them overcome a variety of problems such as phobias, exam stress,....
