It is a well known fact that stress kills, or rather stress induced diseases kill.  But research has shown that in fact boredom kills more people every year in the western world than stress does!  So it is important to manage both your stress levels AND boredom levels at the same time.  That may sound [...]

Have you ever noticed just how much a little thing can affect you?  It has to be a very specific little thing, probably something no-one else would even notice.  And yet, it gets to you.  Gets deep inside you and starts gnawing away.  And if you’re not careful, it can leave you feeling flat at [...]

“If you want to be happy, be” – Leo Tolstoy I have come to the conclusion that there are some people in this world who are just determined to be miserable and unhappy.  I don’t mean people suffering from clinical depressions or those fighting a seemingly never ending misery. No. I mean those people that [...]

So you’ve tried everything you know of to help you achieve your dream. You’ve watched ‘The Secret’, you’ve read all the self-help books, and done everything they’ve suggested, the visualisations, the affirmations, created a vision board and more, and still you feel no nearer to achieving your desired outcome. Maybe you’re even ready to give [...]

Is there something you really want to do?  Anything at all?  It can be something big, like moving to another part of the country.  Or something smaller, like taking an hour of time several times a week to go to the gym.  What’s stopping you? If there’s something you’ve wanted to do for a while, [...]

“Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion.  You must set yourself on fire.”  Arnold H. Glasow What a brilliant quote that is!  Interesting and inspiring!  It really captures how I feel about success.  But sadly not everyone feels the same way!  It’s a sad truth that so many people I have come across, heard of, [...]

But stress hormones aren’t always a bad thing.  Each individual is charged with a “flight or fight” stress reaction.  Adrenaline [...]

Is this familiar?  You wake up in the morning and you feel like getting back to sleep again.  Work, family life and everything seems to move like a merry-go-round.  You feel trapped in a routine.  Nothing’s new anymore and you’re bored to tears.  ‘Been there, done that” flows out as your mantra.  If you said [...]

“The Advancing Man” Deep down, I believe that for most people, becoming all you want to be is one of our ultimate goals.
