Getting going part 2… please do not read this till next week or after you are comfortable with the ideas in part 1… Drink! An odd one when we’re talking about weight loss but drinking plenty of water will definitely help you lose weight, (caffeine and booze don’t count though) your body burns fat much better when well hydrated, as well as making your muscles look full and tight, it’s....

How often do we sit waiting for inspiration? We sit and stew and ponder and pout. We think it's all about the mind and how it tie ideas to inspiration, yet, the experience of inspiration is first physical. What is your calling card of inspiration? Goose bumps? Chills? A burst of energy? The urge to dance? Suddenly feeling rather randy? What if, rather than believing....

There are a million and one things to think about when planning for your big day but the most exciting, and of course the most important is finding the perfect wedding dress!

When something feels "difficult" or "hard," that is not a signal you should not proceed or that you are not "living on purpose" or any other new age nonsense. I've had so many clients and retreat participants stay stuck for years because they thought they shouldn't do their business or creative ideas because it didn't always feel easy or "in flow." Instead of deciding a lack of ease is an....

How do we decide what to create? Out of the vastness of our imaginations, how do we land on what we articulate, bring into form, life, shape? I've never had to ask this question about my writing--I somehow instinctively learned early on to recognize what ideas had enough in them. I somehow knew how to sneak up on, lie down next to, rub up against an image or concept or feeling until I was sure....

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....

Have you ever come home from a trip -- or several trips back to back-- and you're in the midst of a gynormous life change which caused you to break into heaving sobs in the middle of your new love's family reunion (although not in front of the actual family) and you are in must-hold-hands-or-otherwise-always-be-touching love and you keep pinching yourself because you can't believe you found....

About the whole law of attraction stuff? Whether it's Abraham stuff or Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill or now The Secret? It's that, in me, it encourages my small self to rule the show. I find myself attracted to these ideas (pardon the small pun) but then my scritchy, controlling, to-do list, hurry up and gulp the world self gets all stoked. It rubs it's little lovely hands together and....

Know What You Want and Expect the Best All great communicators understand the power of focused expectation. When you keep in mind what kind of response you’re after, you will find it much easier to lead the conversation in that direction. But you have to really believe you’re going to get what you want. Angie came to see me because she wanted to get married after five years of living with....

Are you strategically attracting what is perfect for you or are you a zap-happy attraction magnet? Every day you draw things into your life as a direct result of the concentrated thoughts, wishes and ideas that you come up with. The more you think the thoughts and wish the wishes, the more the ‘system’ conspires to make them happen. And sometimes you attract things....

Are you often completely put off starting a healthy eating and exercise regime in order to lose weight and get healthy because it seems like such a huge mountain to climb and you don’t know where to start? Here are a few ideas you can use to get you started. Set out some realistic goals i.e. How much weight you’d like to lose and by when (taking into account that loosing 1-2 lbs a week is....

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....

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?....

Let me make this tip very very clear… Unless they’re gold plated and cost you an absolute fortune, throw your scales away! In my experience of working with weight loss clients, there is nothing that trips people up faster and more regularly than a set of scales… in my book they should come with a mental health warning. How will you know you’re being successful? Think about it for a....
