The Soul Hole

There is a space within, which for some becomes insatiable.   A feeling of discomfort that has the capacity to drive our behaviours in directions we are far from proud of.

Some people find they are able to eat this strange core discomfort into temporary submission.  Others use drugs, sex, work, exercise – anything that can be found that offers compelling intensity to quieten the gnawing deep inside.

If you have developed a ‘habit’ that is not helpful to your life be aware that you’re likely to be in a cycle of quietening the internal storm and in turn giving it more power!

We can feel incomplete, compulsively buying things in a bid to purchase our wholeness.  It is not for sale!  The personal gift of contentment is priceless.

Your internal discomfort is commensurate with the distance you have veered away from your life purpose.  When your life is heading in the right direction, in alignment with beliefs and values, it seems that an internal integration occurs – mind, body and spirit is at peace and your life brims with joy, purpose and love.

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching …… (Click link for  GREAT inspiration!)

When was the last time you really let your hair down?  It’s alarmingly easy to become entrenched in the day to day drudgery of routine, worries and feeling not great about yourself.   Maybe you have forgotten how to release the constraints of self-consciousness and let yourself go, have fun and start smiling from the bottom of your heart?

We run the same worrisome and negative thought patterns through our mind time and again, forget to take care of our body and our spirit and then wonder why on earth we are feeling out of sorts. Tap into a healing resource that you may not be aware of and get moving, liberate energies that are stuck, the mind from incessant white noise and set yourself free to move with your internal rhythm.

In just 15 minutes this exercise will blow away your blues, re-energise and return the flow of your vitality…… you might even find yourself smiling like a chuffed Cheshire Cat.  So, are you prepared to give it a go?

What are you thinking of…..?

In order to improve your outer world and the various aspects of your life

You must first pay attention to your inner world

Improving your inner world by personal expansion

Taking the time to master your mind, care for your body and nourish your soul

No man is free who is not a master of himself.

Anthony Robbins


The average British adult spends 3.8 hours a day watching TV – that’s almost 120 hours per month and one of the highest viewing ratios in Europe!

Whichever end of the scale of averages you fall, imagine for a minute how it would be  if you dedicated just one of those  daily TV hours  to your mental mastery!  What do you think the results would be in just ONE MONTH?   Is it worth giving up your addiction to Emmerdale for?

Most of us would like to improve areas of our life, to do so we must first pay attention to our internal world and improve it by personal expansion.  Investing in time to master mind, body and spirit.  We stay stuck until we become a master of our own inner world!

How much time do you set aside for taking an in-depth inventory of your thoughts, behaviours and goals?

OUR ACTIONS CLEARLY DEFINE WHAT’S  TRULY IMPORTANT TO US.

BY TAKING STOCK OF THE AREAS OF YOUR LIFE IN WHICH YOU ARE MAKING THE GREATEST INVESTMENTS, IT BECOMES EASY TO SEE HOW WE HAVE CREATED THE LIVES AND CHALLENGES WE ARE WORKING WITH TODAY!

If you spend hours making sure the house is clean and tidy and 20+  hours in-front of the TV each week  you are defining your priorities clearly.  What  is this scenario is likely to manifest in your life? …….   Sure you will have a dust free home, be able to update the neighbours if they have missed the latest episode of Coronation Street or Eastenders but really, what time are you dedicating to feed your soul and passion for life?

Making Summer 2010 Count!

The Times 2010 Coolest Things To do This Summer (click on this link)

The Times have helpfully compiled an outstanding list of ad-hoc events to help you make the most of Summer.  With Boutique Baby Sitting, endless meadows of music and a host of new ideas to bring out the Summer in you!

Clear away the winter blues by taking stock of  your Summer diary and adding new, exciting events. If you tend to celebrate summer with the same strawberries in plastic punnets at Ascot each year, give yourself something new to look forward to.

Maybe you will fancy heading down to Dorset for Serenata, the UK’s first classical-music festival? Or how about putting a spell on the kids at Gavin Turk’s House of Fairy Tales,?  Magic and fantasy are the name of the game, creating an unique learning experience for your little folk!

Do you notice inner reticence when it comes to committing to a new experience? Excuses, distractions, a feeling of un-ease are all standard resistance alarms.  Notice and work through them, these are the deal-breakers holding you back.  Imagine how liberated you will feel without these voices of doubt, doom and gloom whispering constantly in your head.

One of the most enjoyable ways to implement change is to do something different!    Change your environment, your habits and relish new experiences, new people and places.

Manifestation – fact or fiction?

‘Manifestation’ – the new buzz word but what does it mean to you?

The word ‘manifestation’  has come into our lives from every direction over the past couple of years. There are best selling books like The Secret still flying off the shelves,  with millions of copies sold,  in the hope of finding a simple way to create what we want in our life but are we any closer to finding the answer?

The self help book industry is now worth $7bn – are we getting our money’s worth?  If you have read book after book and still feel no further forward it’s because you are not taking action.  Reading and learning is great but it won’t make a difference unless you apply the content with diligence and even then there are a lot of reasons you could find yourself disappointed.

So, what does manifestation really mean?  That you just think about something you want to attract into your life and it’s yours?   Well, yes, that’s the headline and the basic premiss!  You might be wondering why haven’t the millions of people who are actively manifesting their goals got what they have been dreaming of forever?

The real secret is that your entire being has to believe and behave as though you already have what it is you wish to create.  Therefore if you hold doubt, or a limiting belief  at some level, that you don’t deseve or can’t be trusted with your object of manifestation – it just can’t happen.  Your goals are being actively blocked by these deep seated negative beliefs.

If you are manifesting a healthy bank account but were brought up to believe that  “Money is the root of all evil” or “All affluent people will do whatever it takes, including hurting others, to achieve their wealth”   (two popular intrinsic beliefs) it is no wonder that you are failing to reap the rewards of your manfiestation labour.

What is blocking your potential?

WHAT IS BLOCKING YOUR POTENTIAL?

Every day you make a choice……. whether to gracefully slide through life in joy and authenticity, knowing our purpose and feeling great – oozing vitality and a lust for living. Or do we grudgingly accept what our life has become and remain stagnant seeing no hope for change?

Whatever you are choosing to believe about your life will come to pass.

When was the last time your took time to remember the things that make you laugh, cry and feel overcome with joy?   You might be surprised how few of us really know what fills our happiness bank, although we are pretty up to date with the things that don’t.

Maybe you are remembering from your past what made you happy?  That’s the old you, it got you to where you are now  …… Make a note of everything you do NOW that fills you with a deep feeling of passion, contentment and peace.   Don’t be shocked if you don’t know where to start, you could be working from an old and out of date map of yourself – it is time to have fun reviewing and updating.  Many of the old avenues are closed, the roads no longer head in the direction you hoped and the sign posts are sending you on a wild goose chase.

Exhausted?  No wonder! Would you get in your car with a map that is decades old and hope for the best as you head off on a road trip?   Within a short time you would be frustrated, bad tempered and bemused, possibly even turning around and heading back home.  OH AND FORGET KEEPING YOUR EYES FIXED ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR – LOOKING BACKWARDS PREVENTS US MOVING FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE AND EASE!

Successful people will tell you they take time out to review their position, what they are doing and why, regularly updating their goals.   When was the last time you took this inventory of your personal life?

40+ Frumpy or Fabulous? You choose!

They have told us for years that  “Life begins at 40” …… and so it may!  They failed to mention however the myriad of choices and decisions we would be called upon to make and how to feel better about ourselves and our lives than we ever did in our youth.

With Lady Luck behind us we have another four or so decades to make the most of..  It’s easy to become bogged-down by life, allowing our va va voom to evaporate along with our self confidence.  We can forget to take care of ourselves as we look after others, we might settle for what we have and pack our dreams away forever.  We can allow time passing to have a detrimental effect on our feel-good factor, give up on the good times and wait for old age.

On the other hand we can choose to embrace the years, learn to feel good about ourselves inside and out.  Experience tells us that we can create a life alive with passion, joy and purpose.  Which side of the fence are you sitting on?

The endless aesthetic choices available that can, for a price, hold back time and force even the most determined wrinkle into submission might be a step forward but come with their own limitations.  Should we invest in fillers and jabs that paralyse our facial muscles, removing the visible toll of living through four decades?  As we progress through the years there is the question of surgery, when to start and when to stop… or whether it’s the answer at all?

The choices and debates continue.  With fashion, for the most part, foolishly forgetting successful, financially secure 40-somethings who are horribly bemused by the line between muse and mutton.

Summer Love …. making it happen.

As the sun comes out it seems that love is all around. If you are feeling left out and even daunted by the dating scene, take action now and enjoy a summer romance that brings out the best in you.

Giving attention and thought to a past love can make it difficult to get back into the dating game. You might have finished with someone but can’t quite shift their memory or maybe you are nursing wounds remaining from that special person ending the relationship with you. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking “They were the only one for me”.   This, along with many other restrictive beliefs, will hold you stuck at where you are now.

You might feel pessimistic about your relationship future as you focus on what has…. could have…. and should have been. Of course it is useful to have a period of reflection, assessing all you have learned about yourself from the experience.   You may also have taken time to lick your wounds but at some point you will know it is time  to get back out there on the dating scene.

Dating can be daunting when we are harboring pessimism or self doubt but there are ways to make the necessary changes and make fast progress in the right direction.
