Wellbeing – How to Achieve It

February 7, 2022 by admin

Wellbeing is a complex little construct. It encompasses our physical, mental, emotional and social health. We associate it with happiness and life satisfaction. And let’s face it, the idea of it just feels good.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to lie permanently in a state of wellbeing? So how do we do that? There are many […]

How to Make Tough Choices

November 15, 2021 by admin

Jon and I were talking today about the big ‘quality of life’ question. Do you have better quality of life by having more time and working less? Or do you have better quality of life having money and being able to do the things you love in your free time? I guess it was sparked […]

How to Manage the Meh of Covid

July 5, 2021 by admin

Let’s face it – most of us are feeling a little Meh about Covid. We’re locking down, closing borders, wearing masks and having our lives changed in subtle and not so subtle ways. And it looks like there’s no end in sight.  Of course we feel a bit Meh sometimes.  So here’s a list of […]

The Importance of Kindness

April 12, 2021 by admin

I quite often recommend John Gottman’s Marriage Minute to clients. It’s an email that comes maybe weekly or fortnightly and takes about a minute to read. Very helpful stuff for relationships.  One of my clients who subscribed told me about one that I missed about killing it with kindness. Basically, no matter what, be kind […]

You Have 6200 Thoughts a Day – What Will You Do With Yours?

July 27, 2020 by admin

It is official: we have 6200 thoughts a day.  A study from Queens University in Ontario measured how often we shifted from one thought to the next (through some very fancy scientific methods that we don’t need to go into here). They called each of these a thought worm. Unfortunately I’m quite visual and now […]

How Happy Are We?

June 29, 2020 by admin

How happy are we? Luckily we can answer this question with actual facts. Australia is the 12th happiest country in the world for the period 2017-2019. Which is pretty impressive.

Fundamentals for a Fabulous Life – Generating Good Feelings: The 3:1 Rule

January 17, 2013 by admin

I think most of us at some stage in our lives get a bit of the Eeyore Syndrome. You know the glass is half empty, everything’s gloomy, nothing seems good syndrome. The good news, or the bad news (depending on how far into Eeyore Syndrome you are) is that this is a normal way for […]

You Want to Generate Good Feelings: Stop Being so Nice

January 16, 2013 by admin

Did I read that right? Generating positive feelings is done by NOT being so nice? Mmm. Mmmm. It sure is. I could scare you with a whole bunch of reasons as to why ultra nice people – People Pleasers tend to develop specific sorts of illnesses but I’m not that kind of doctor. I’m more […]

Letting Go of Negative Feelings: Stress Management

January 16, 2013 by admin

Here we are at Fundamental #1: Feeeeeling Good. And we’re still in the letting go phase. This time we’re letting go of stress. Let’s face it – most of us would have a pretty low Stress Management IQ. I mean it’s not exactly on the school curriculum is it? Imagine if it was. Imagine if […]

Goal Setting (but not the boring way) Part 2

January 14, 2013 by admin

Have you been caught in this trap? You set goals that you think you should have or that other people would want you to have. And then you can’t work out why you’re not happy when you achieve them? You might have heard that saying “I climbed the ladder to success but it was against […]

Why Vision Boards are NOT Kooky and Why Science says they Create your Success

January 14, 2013 by admin

I’ve always been a bit spiritual – ok a lot spiritual. And a little bit kooky. I was the poster child for the hippy, New Age movement back in the ‘80’s – massaging ‘Essence of Angels’ oil into my hands while singing along to music for Kundalini Yoga. Aaahhh – the good old days. Hang […]

Goal Setting (but not the boring way) Part 1.

January 14, 2013 by admin
