  • Why You Should Pursue Happiness TODAY – NOW!

    I was talking to a friend yesterday who is going through a lot of stress and she basically was telling me how unhappy she felt. I noticed that she kept referring to when this happens I will be… If that happens I will be… In other words happiness would happen at some time in the future given certain conditions. As I was talking to her I recalled that I had a book on the subject that had helped me enormously when I was going through a similar period myself. […]

  • Strange – We Love Positive People And Yet Consume Negative Media

    My wife Barbara is a Health Visitor and some time ago attended a series of NHS training sessions given by a guy called Chris Croft. As a result I often see laying around the house printouts from the his newsletter which I always find fascinating reading. Now – I don’t know Chris (if you don’t count seeing him playing in a group once) but I feel as though I do.

  • Get Motivated And Be A Green Shoot Of Recovery

    With so much gloom and doom about and a collective International mindset shaped by negative media coverage of events is it any wonder that individuals lack confidence.  All this negative reporting becomes just a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is now down to individuals to buck the trend and prosper because everyone else is falling in the […]

  • Say No No To Negative Thinking For High Self Esteem

    I could have let yesterday knock me for six but far from it, as nowadays I turn all adversity into a positive somehow.   Yes it was a challenging day – but most of what happened to me (not worth going into and anyway I don’t want to dwell on all that stuff) was far outside […]

  • My Sub 1 Minute 100 Metres Swim At Age Of 60

    I was exhausted but happy – 57.79 secs of extreme effort had resulted in me smashing finally that 1 minute barrier for 100 metres freestyle swim.  My start was sharp, my turns were fast and furious,  I was beating my arch rival in the next lane and I swam in hard.  I knew I had […]

  • Worry Free Zone Here – Thank Goodness For Entrepreneurs

    Welcome to a worry free zone – at least I am making every effort and surrounding myself with positive people. Adam Eason in his weekly Adam Up Ezine throughout September has been writing about ‘worry’ and how to avoid it or at least keep it in check.  And now today a favourite person of mine […]

  • Will Olympic Fitness Splurge Be Maintained?

    Here in the UK we are experiencing a January type fitness splurge because of our unexpected success at the Olympics.  At a time when most retailers are reporting a downturn in trade, sales of sports equipment has doubled. Bike sales have gone up by 130 percent and swimsuits and goggles by 135 percent. Unfortunately we […]

  • Is There A Stereo-Typical Student? – I Think Not

    Wow – it is hard to keep up with blogging sometimes.  During this very busy August when my kids are home from University and school – when family and friends are visiting –  it is hard to work as efficiently as normal.  However on the plus side there is so much happening that makes great […]

  • Hypnosis Helped Me Through My Hairy Ride

    Working alongside Adam Eason I do get to try out as many of his hypnosis products as I like.  In fact I listen to some that I don’t need as I feel it is imperative if you are to market something to know intimately what you are selling.  (I can’t ever believe I will need […]

  • Some Of My Christian Friends Think Hypnosis Is Evil – But Why? Part 2

    Let me revisit the question on a Christian Blog that prompted me to articulate my views about the role of hypnosis as delivered in clinical hypnotherapy. The question was:

  • Some Of My Christian Friends Think Hypnosis Is Evil – But Why? Part 1

    I am a Christian, with a background of Nursing for most of my adult life and now working in partnership with a Clinical Hypnotherapist Adam Eason selling a large range of self-hypnosis products. This is the backdrop to this article which I have been intending to write for some time. I have finally been nudged […]

  • Memories Of A Headteachers Daughter And Her Wiggly Bum

    Some years ago now in my profile on Ecademy (internet business networking site) I wrote this: EARLY YEARS Primary School, St Andrews, Halstead, Essex. Apologies to Jennifer (headmasters daughter) for sticking your plaits in the ink well so that it swung like a pendulum painting arcs on your shirt. Earls Colne Grammar School All boys […]

  • Internet Marketers – The Good Guys – Ed Dale

    Now it seems incredible to me that I hadn’t even heard of Ed Dale just a month ago and yet here I am putting him first on my list of people I would most recommend to my friends to learn the Internet selling game.  This is the best advice I can give – at this […]

  • Read The Questions Carefully Or Bizarre Things Will Happen …..

    I had a bad day yesterday simply because I didn’t read the question carefully… and it’s all a bit bizarre. It’s exam season here in the UK.  Nearly every morning as the young people (I’m not allowed to call them kids any more) of our household leave for school I repeat “Read the questions carefully…”.  […]

  • Addiction Can Be Healthy And Keep You Fit

    I haven’t mentioned it for some time now – so here really as some assurance to you all I am still using my stepper for 40 minutes most days (3000 steps).  I know you were concerned that I had lapsed back to my sedentary ways. No – in fact I am just about to wear […]

  • Computer Games Are Addictive Because They Are Designed To Be Addictive

    A lot has been written about computer game violence this week because of the much-awaited launch of “Grand Theft Auto IV”, with dire warnings about turning our kids into killers.  On cue – there was a stabbing in a queue to buy the game in Croydon – there see, goes to prove it!! But regardless […]

  • Procrastination Is My Sin …….

    There is one major difference between successful people and those – well – who do not fulfill their potential shall we say. Successful people take ACTION! “Procrastination is my sin. It brings me naught but sorrow. I know that I should stop it. In fact, I will–tomorrow!” Gloria Pitzner Or a quote with a more […]

  • Banish Negative People From Your Life

    It may be difficult given the large number that exist – but I avoid as far as is humanly possible negative people.  They are everywhere – especially in the media.  Do journalists have to go on a negativity course to do their work? One of the best bits of business advice I ever received was […]

  • Obesity May Be A Huge Weight On Your Mind

    Coincidences happen all the time and today was no exception.  I had just finished putting up a new landing page for Adam Eason’s product for Weight Control – AND – up popped a story on the BBC News website about a prisoner in America who is suing because of what he claims is a lack […]

  • Personal DNA Personality Test

    Almost as an adjunct to my posting this morning I came across this Personality Test site. Interesting http://www.personaldna.com/tests.php I have set up a Twitter account today
