Getting going – the easy way. I know there is a lot in the box and that’s because I really wanted to give you all you need to lose weight and enjoy being slimmer, happier and healthier. You really do have all you need but most of the questions I get asked are about where you should start. There is so much good stuff in the box that it can feel a little overwhelming, so, here’s the quick....

We all know stress can have devastating effects on our body. However, have you ever thought how stress may be affecting your face? On an internal level, stress can affect the natural production of the plumping agents collagen and elastin in the face. Stress can also be a contributor to dehydration, poor circulation and the ability to remove toxins from the skin. However, research shows that....

The most common rut many of us find ourselves stuck in: We stay busy 24/7 because being busy equals not being selfish -- we're doing our jobs, taking care of our kids, helping in the community. We're being good -- or so we tell ourselves. In truth, being busy 24/7 is incredibly selfish and lazy. Why? Because it depletes us, increases the noise in our heads, exhausts our bodies, and 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....

You can’t be a great communicator without being a great people reader. Attractive communicators are super-detectives of human signals. They’re alert to every little shift. So, how open are you to what’s going on? Many of us have developed a kind of protective bubble that keeps the world out. If you live in a busy city you will know the unnerving feeling of scurrying down a quiet....

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 stand by the bedroom door, warily eyeing the pile of books and magazines by my bed. Has it grown? I believe so. I'm not sure I can even get into the bed anymore. I move closer, pull out a sticky collection of mini-books. Just as I suspected! The books are breeding with the magazines, producing sound bites I will be forced to read. I quickly back away. That's okay, I'll simply go outside to....

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....

In my job as a life coach I am lucky enough to meet some very remarkable people. The one thing that is a universal constant is that no matter who you are, rich or poor, young or old, you have the same 24 hours in a day. In Scotland we use the word ‘thrifty’. It’s not the same as ‘mean’ or ‘tight’ it’s more like, cautious or careful. While most of us are ‘thrifty’ with our....

I often learn as much if not more from my clients then they learn from me. A few weeks ago I received a call from a client I had successfully treated years ago. She was in a bad way, she felt she’d been robbed of the future she hoped for and had given up on her life. Her call was a last cry for help. She was convinced it was time for her to step off this mortal coil in the hope of a better....

Just because you’ve been doing something one way for a while doesn’t make it right, right? Well that’s probably SO true when it comes to you and your priorities. I know that, like most of us, you are busy running around looking after everyone else, friends, family, kids, husbands… but what about you? How long do you give yourself in any day? Ok, right now I’d like you to find....

One of the most common reasons people give for not being able to lose weight is that they simply don’t have time to do all the things that they're supposed to do. Now you might be a bit like that and I know that your day normally starts off with good intentions. You know, you have your plan and that works right up until you get out of bed. Then the other things kick in, the kids....

Communication is like a game of chess – you have to be aware of the potential moves and the effect they can have not just on the moment, but on the entire game. Each move you make will influence the move the other person makes and vice versa. If you make the first move, you are showing them the way and opening the channels. The opening moves of any communication are vital. Get them right and....
