Our self-esteem can be affected by the way we look at and treat our lives, either as a game to be enjoyed or as a sport to be won. The way we play life is a mirror in which the reflection is either a happy and contented one or one of determination to win at all cost, within or outside of the rulebook.
Remember those early days in the school playground, playing games that were just simply fun to play? Games with no set rules and no winners or losers, the games anyone could play because being good or bad did not make the slightest difference. Oh happy days!
Then as we grew older the games began to have rules,

It seems natural to us to be compassionate towards others, but why is it we often lose that ability when dealing with ourselves. Perhaps this is an area that should be dealt with in our search for self-development.
I am fascinated about self-development in all of its shapes and forms and have tried and used many systems in my own development. Let’s admit it we all need a confidence or self-esteem boost every now and again especially in today’s fast paced, must succeed lifestyle. But a little word of warning if you considering a little self-development of your own for the first time.

You may be prolonging the agony of the recession without even realising it by the way you communicate with yourself and family. You may be hypnotising your family into deeper financial and mental depression with no way of stopping the downward spiral.

I did once.
I was feeling a bit sorry for myself and thought people would be impressed.
It didn’t actually do me any good and I didn’t feel any better. But it did reveal a few things.

So — Is Golf A Mental Game?
Of course there are various possible approaches to this (no pun intended, golfers!).
Is it a game of mind over matter? Are you nuts to spend so much time at it? Is it an exercise in intimidating your opponent into missing the putt? Read the rest of this entry »
Yes, of course it is!
Love of card sales. And actually, sales of almost anything else you can imagine!
Try booking a table for two in a popular restaurant, especially if Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday, a Saturday or, like this year, a Sunday. You can find special Valentine screenings of Love Story or some other appropriately sentimental melodrama. Our local chocolate shop is full of it – and hopes to be empty of it I suppose come next Monday. The kiddies’ clothes shop idem ditto although the relevance eludes me. The trendy silver jewellery shop has gone absolutely heart-shaped; cardiac I suppose you could say.

Valentine’s Day could be renamed as Health Day because research shows that being in any form of loving relationship is good for your health.
We are all aware of the feelings of happiness and joy when we are in a loving and caring relationship; we carry an aura of well-being around with us for everyone else to see. We feel great and everything in the garden is rosy. Of course Valentine’s Day is for most people a day of happiness and joy, centred on love and passion, a day of loving feelings.

I had some really good therapy yesterday evening – laughter therapy.
My son Tom arrived home from Uni last weekend and I introduced him to a sitcom I have been watching over the past few weeks starring Miranda Hart. I had really enjoyed this crazy escapism when first seen but in fact found myself laughing out loud and enjoying more as we sat and devoured episode after episode courtesy of iPlayer.
I think Miranda is a kind of female version of John Cleese and much of the comedy relies on side comments and pulled faces direct to camera in a true Frankie Howard style. Anyway add to that the silly comments Tom and I were making to each other as we watched and my sides were aching.
The point is that this all occurred at the end of a frantic tense sort of day Read the rest of this entry »
Well here is a rant today. If you chance to spy this page and you have some legal knowledge I would be really grateful to hear from you about the legality of the behaviour and action of McAfee.
One of the hundreds of websites I have built over the years is for my friend and business partner Adam Eason.
Here is the website – BUT BE WARNED – if you are using McAfee protection you will get a grim warning about going there – http://www.adam-eason.com Read the rest of this entry »

My introduction to the power of hypnosis and self-hypnosis goes back about six years now when I first met Adam Eason at a BNI network meeting. As a former nurse I became fascinated by the physical changes that Adam was able to bring about in his clients just by using the power of their mind.
Power Of The Mind – What an amazing in-built resource we all have and yet in most people it is underused or ignored completely. Read the rest of this entry »
My introduction to the power of hypnosis and self-hypnosis goes back about six years now when I met Adam Eason a leading UK Clinical Hypnotherapist at a BNI network meeting. As a former nurse I became fascinated by the physical changes that Adam was able to bring about in his clients just by using the power of the mind. What an amazing in-built resource we have and yet in most people it is underused or ignored completely.
The interest was further fuelled when my company developed his website and I began to read some of his articles and testimonials. It struck me then that a combination of his hypnosis and NLP knowledge and my own internet marketing skills we could develop quite a web presence and authority site about hypnosis.
Wehey what a ride …
But now we have a website which is jam packed with self-hypnosis material catering for those with idle curiosity about hypnosis through to those who would like to train for a career as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.
Let me be your guide… Read the rest of this entry »

OK – for me this is as good as it gets. The coverage of the Final Test match at the Oval has just begun on TV. With the series level this is the decider.
Wow – I love it and normally I would be found for five days almost inseparable from my TV, digital radio or in car radio – but alas that can’t be the case this time. Read the rest of this entry »
