Are you already dreading the fact that the festive season is approaching rapidly? Walking into shops the other day and reeling in horror at the sight of Christmas cards, chocolates, food, even mince pies, and turkey (oh yes, it's true, in September!),I found myself suddenly becoming rather excited at the prospect of two things: Stocking up on boxes of chocolate, telling myself that I am....

The Little Guide to the Inner Goddess at large!
In my article 'Meet your Inner Goddess', I look at how we all have within us, an Inner Goddess, and when we acknowledge her presence and live each day with her as our best ali, life changes in an instant. The kick ass Vixen knows that it simply does not matter what life throws at her, because her IG will rise to the challenge. Her....

How to look slimmer in minutes Wouldn’t it be great if we could have that extra bit of help to look and feel the way we really want to? We all know that a healthy diet, exercise and feeling positive are the ways to achieving the body we dream of. However, wouldn’t it be nice to have that extra bit of help? Wouldn’t it be fantastic to look like we have dropped a dress size within....

I am a glutton. It's the passion of us 7's on the Enneagram (also perhaps Scanners or Renaissance Souls?). It may not be about food (although that fits for me) but a glutton for anything -- experience, doing, seeing, touching, hearing, learning, etc.. I can feel like a giant mouth searching for things to CONSUME. Which can be really, really fun, if I keep coming back to the place of "Nothing....

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....

I read the most beautiful poem in LIFE IS A VERB by Patti Digh last night. I love this book - Patti has taken what could be a hackneyed subject--how would you live if you had 37 days left? - and made it sing through her deep heart and generously wonderful writing. The poem lost and found which is: we have to accept being lost before we even think about being found and we have to accept that....

With greater self-knowledge, better skincare, regular exercise and a balanced diet; there’s no reason why women shouldn’t remain healthy and look stunning and sexy as they grow older. Celebrities such as Helen Mirren, Susan Sarandon and Felicity Kendal are just a few famous examples of how to age well. A regular overhaul of wardrobe, hairstyle and colour and make-up will make....

Long time amazingly intelligent and even more resourceful Helga sent me this story yesterday - I had to share it with you! From Helga: Tried hard to arrange to get to your most recent retreat, but couldn't get kid-care on short notice. Guess it wasn't meant to be. I know it'll happen when the time is right. Meanwhile, I had a different kind of retreat. Knowing how much I wanted to go to your....

"Sticks and Stones may hurt my bones but words will do no harm." Balderdash! Words are infinitely more powerful than sticks and stones. You can use words to hurt or you can use them to heal Words are neurotransmitters which generate very powerful reactions and sometimes long term affect in the people at whom they are directed. And when we learn to use words with exquisite....

In NLP we know that success doesn’t exist. That’s not to say that you cannot be successful. It simply means that success is a nominalization, a concept not a thing. It’s an idea before the mind that only you can validate. While the trappings of success like a shiny new car, large house or beautiful family can be visible for all to see. Success is none (or all) of these things. Success....

We all have different strategies for doing things. Being aware of someone’s strategies means that you are prepared for how they might react to things and you understand why they react the way they do. It also means that you can use these strategies to communicate more harmoniously. Meanwhile, here’s some ways people have of behaving that you might notice now that you’re aware of....

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....

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....
