Keeping Resilient – Covid Style

May 18, 2020 by admin

Here we are knee deep in a pandemic. Who saw that coming? Of course, it has raised all sorts of mental health issues – from anxiety and depression to cabin fever and the negative effects of isolation. I will probably go into those and what to do about them at some stage, but for now […]

Motion vs Action

March 2, 2020 by admin

I was reading Atomic Habits by James Clear last week. There were lots of interesting things but there was one that really struck me – the concept of motion vs action. Basically, when we’re trying to get stuff done, we have 2 processes. Motion is the planning, researching, organising process. And the actual doing of […]

Why You Should Put Important Things First (rocks, pebbles, sand continued)

February 17, 2020 by admin

You might remember the rocks, pebbles, sand story from last time. If you haven’t read it read this 1st https://www.healgrowtransform.com.au/changing-mindsets/best-time-management-tool-for-making-you-happy/ or this won’t make sense. I promised I’d tell you the psychological reasons for making room for rocks first and why we get caught up in the smaller things instead. Firstly, we tend to get […]

Best Time Management Tool for Making You Happy

February 3, 2020 by admin

I have a story for you.  “A philosophy professor stands in front of a class with a big glass jar. He puts rocks in the jar, right to the brim. He asks the class if the jar is full.  Obviously they answer yes. He then puts pebbles in the jar, jiggles it a bit so […]

Believe it or Not: You Can Find Time

January 20, 2020 by admin

I read an article the other day that said the CEO of a very large company found the time to meditate for 2 hours a day. My 1st thought was that he mustn’t get much sleep. But as I read on it all started to make sense. He meditates whenever he can – in the […]

Strategies for Personal Growth

January 6, 2020 by admin

If the new year is always a good time to set new goals, then a new decade must be better right! If you’ve been reading my blogs for a while you’ll know that I’m not a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. Research says they’re rubbish and we don’t really stick to them. But…there are other […]

How to Have More Self-Acceptance

November 18, 2019 by admin

It’s a sad state of affairs when so many of us struggle with self-acceptance. We’re critical of this part of ourselves – this body part, that aspect of our personality. We don’t like ourselves when we do that behaviour – get loud, tell white lies. Worst of all, for some people, there’s a complete lack […]

How to Manage Emotions – the Best Way Ever

November 4, 2019 by admin

Managing emotions is one of the most important things in life. It helps in relationships, at work, and how we feel on a daily basis. The more we’re able to recognise, label and modulate our emotions, the more successful we are both socially and at work. Managing emotions, or emotion regulation, is a skill we […]

How to be More Grounded

October 4, 2019 by admin

I’ll be honest – I love this sh*t where science catches up to spiritual. Where stuff other cultures have been doing for eons suddenly changes from ‘eye rolling kooky’ to ‘latest medical breakthrough’. And here’s one that totally fits that bill. There are many ancient cultures that have used the energy of the earth for […]

How Do You Want to be Remembered?

September 23, 2019 by admin

It would be very rare to be someone that hasn’t lost someone close. I guess I’m getting to that age when death comes knocking for lots of people I know. Among other things, it has had me thinking about how I’d like to be remembered. And what I want my remaining years to be like. […]

What Are You Willing to Give Up to Be Happy?

August 26, 2019 by admin

So often we try to ‘do’ things to make us happier. We do positive thinking exercises. We do gratitude diaries. We do meditation. What if we had to stop doing? What if there were things we were doing in our lives that were making us unhappy and all we had to do was make a […]

How to Get Off the Negative Wheel

August 12, 2019 by admin

Have you ever been stuck in a big negative loop? Where you feel bad about something and the more you think about it the more reasons you find to keep you feeling bad? If you have you’re not alone. But is it really necessary and can we do something to get us off that negative […]

Build Your Self-Esteem

July 23, 2019 by admin

Sometimes I think we have the world back-to-front. We don’t want to try things until we feel confident to do them. We don’t want to put ourselves out there until our self-esteem is up to handling it. For example, we don’t want to try dating in case we’re rejected. Or we don’t want to try […]

A Step Towards Resilience

July 16, 2019 by admin

There’s no denying that sometimes things can feel overwhelming. And that it can feel like everything is getting on top of you. Or that things are so bad there seems no way out. Or that right now you’re so anxious that nothing could soothe you. We usually have habitual ways of dealing with these uncomfortable […]

A Genuine ‘Make You Happy’ Tool

July 1, 2019 by admin

I was very generously gifted a book – The Magic by Rhonda Byrne (of ‘The Secret’ fame) before I went on long service leave. I have to admit it took me a few weeks before I picked it up. I remember all the hype about ‘The Secret’ – people becoming all sorts of disgruntled because […]
