Taking A Break & Making My Dream Come True E046
It's one thing being open to things coming into our lives.It's another thing to make something happen in our lives.Who is going to make our dreams come true?

Procrastination - why we procrastinate and how to procrastinate no more! E041
Procrastination can be incredibly frustrating and difficult to deal with. It can feel like a self-sabotaging mechanism we want to get out of an be free from but we just can't seem to change. After struggling with procrastination for many years, I delve into what finally helped me to break this cycle and move forwards in doing the things i had been procrastinating - both the things I didn't want to do but needed to and the ones that I really did want to do but somehow always found myself putting off!

Turning weaknesses into strengths, how everyone wins E040
Do we really need to be only one thing? After a lifetime of being told to pigeonhole myself, I have thrown caution to the wind and decided to bring everything I am to everything I do rather than tailor myself to each thing. In that choice, I am being more than a single-faceted version of me can be, and bringing expansive strengths, supplementary skills and novel visionary perspectives. This is the ultimate win-win, there is no lose, because I still am all the tailored targeted elements of me, but now I am not only that, I am...

How Do We Decide Who To Trust? E039
Deciding who to trust is such a fundamental part of life. Deciding what is the truth and what is lies. It matters for our dating life, work life, friendships, family, making good decisions day-to-day. We've all had times where we have made good decisions and times where we made bad decisions about who to trust. We've all had times where people turned out to be better or worse than we had thought they were!But how do we decide who to trust - and how can get better at deciding who to trust?

Confidence and the capacity to be ourselves are intrinsically linked - so what can first: the chicken or the egg, the confidence or being ourselves? Well, it might sound simple and you might think 'of course the confidence comes first', I certainly used to think that. And i thought I struggled to be myself because I didn't have confidence....BUT then I learned where confidence comes from.

Perspective is EVERYTHING! How you see something makes it so...meaning if you see an outcome as bad then it will feel bad, and thats ok, but it's not going to be everyone's experience. Recognising, remembering and applying that understanding of personal perspective being personal...being different for everyone...can be difficult, especially during an argument or other difficult situation. But remembering that others have their own personal perspective that may be very different from our own is a very important point for effective communication and collaboration - whether in a romantic relationship, friendship, work...

Learning to STOP echoes of the past E010
I used to find myself running on deeply rutted tracks of behaviour, finding it difficult or impossible to change. Suffering my reactions and trying to control everything. Forcing my way or the highway on myself and those around me. And I couldn’t see a way out, I couldn’t see another way to be. But, when I hit rock bottom, I also found that there is a path to another way. To not be puppeted by the past. That there was a way to ‘time travel’ and change the impact of my past on my present and future.
