  • Mental Health – An Important Question For You

    Mental Health – An Important Question For You

    Many of my blogs are light hearted, bizarre or whatever; but NOT today.  This is Important and I hope that you will stay with me for a couple of minutes while I am talking passionately about something I care about.  In fact we should all care about this as one in four of us will […]

  • Tattoo Inspiration For Golf Win – Go Georgia

    Tattoo Inspiration For Golf Win – Go Georgia

    We have had mental notes on bits of paper hanging around our house for years. Part of life with kids as they are growing up. I think my daughter was responsible for the one that was in our loo with reminders of what to do when you tinkled and other things – aimed at the […]

  • Health Update – Still Feeling Fine

    On Thursday of this week I will be going to the theatre and I know I will sleep throughout the whole performance. OK – I jest! It is of course the operating theatre to have my left kidney removed.  Yes I signed away my left kidney.  The specialist nurse who was going through my consent […]

  • I Had To Ask The Consultant Which Of My Kidneys Had The Tumour

    Okay it’s a New Year and I have made a resolution that I will get my blog back on track with regular updates. Oh and having visited it now to write this post I see it needs an overhaul. Pathetic looking blog. I actually like writing but have been making the lame excuse about ‘no […]

  • Match Day Nerves Or Are They Something Worse!

    Being a long standing Arsenal supporter I tend to get a bit twitchy come match days but hey so do thousands of other football fans, so what’s to worry about, certainly not a crisis you would think. But could those nerves be just the tip of an iceberg when it comes to what is really […]

  • Did My Nursing Career Train Me To Not Smell?

    It was with some interest that I read on the BBC website this morning about a ‘smell’ study. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15770361 The sense of smell can be improved through training, a study on rats suggests. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, also suggests if we do not use our sense of smell, we begin to lose it. […]

  • Is Zero-Gravity Yoga The Universal Law Sir Isaac Newton Missed?

    Newton as I’m sure you all know discovered and wrote the Universal Law of Gravity which explains why we don’t fall off the earth and the planets stay in orbit, but what he didn’t explain was that by defying gravity we will become fitter and find a whole new feeling of wellbeing.  Well, according to […]

  • Food For Thought – Think Yourself Thin

    Yes you can Think Yourself Thin – but the people that matter do not seem to know it. A news item on the BBC Newsbeat website caught my eye today and quite literally gave me some food for thought.  It stated that according to figures they had seen that the number of under 25 year […]

  • Stopping Smoking – Women Take Note!

    Staying on the topic of stopping smoking I want to continue the subject by  going back to the article I mentioned in my post ‘Dr Mark Porter Blowing A Smokescreen Over How To Stop Smoking.’ In it he makes the point that women may be more susceptible to the damaging effects of cigarette smoke than […]

  • Doctor Mark Porter Blowing a Smokescreen Over How To Stop Smoking

    I was reading a recent article in the ‘Times’ regarding women’s health problems called ‘How to stub out the habit’ by Dr Mark Porter, which in itself was informative and helpful to those wanting to quit smoking.  But what got my juices flowing was that the article blew a smokescreen over the real reason why […]

  • Do You Think Of Self-Esteem As A Game Or A Sport?

    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 […]

  • Bring Some Self-Compassion Into Your Self-Development

    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 […]

  • Are You Hypnotising Yourself And Your Family Deeper Into Debt And Depression?

    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. Despite what the politicians may tell us about the recession being over, for […]

  • Is Golf A Mental Game

    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? Actually, the answer to all […]

  • How To Learn About Hypnosis For Self Improvement

    I knew very little about hypnosis – Adam new next to nothing about websites. However put together his wealth of knowledge from a llifetime’s work devoted to Clinical Hypnotherapy and my website work and together we have produced a website full of resources for anyone interested in hypnosis, NLP and self-improvement via the powerful mind.

  • From Beginner To Therapist – Hypnosis Revealed

    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 […]

  • Why Does Inspiration Come When Your Mind Is Blank?

    When do you get your “ah-ha” moments, your flashes of inspiration, your genius moments? If you are like me they come when: lolling in the bath relaxing on a beach or in the garden awaking from restful sleep enjoying a carefree walk in a trance during a self-hypnosis session In other words when you are […]

  • You Should Read More Of Your E-Mails And This Is Why….

    I wonder how many times my long suffering wife has heard me say “Why can’t they just read?”  I am convinced that information overload is the biggest obstacle to communications. Take this as an example:  I am heavily involved with the marketing of Adam Eason’s products online.  He is a hypnotherapist who produces Self-Hypnosis MP3s.  […]
