How often are you truly happy? How often do you think you ‘should’ be happy?
Two interseting questions as I sit here and write… two questions that really open up the possibility for more questions – what is happiness? happy compared to what? Truly happy? Just to name a few of the questions that spring to my mind.Â
You may have heard about this client before – she came to see me many years ago. At that time she was in her mid 70’s and when I asked her what I can help her with she told me I want to be unreasonably happy. Intreagued, I asked her what that meant to her – her answer was simple: to be happy for no reason. I liked that. (more…)

Do you know the feeling that you get when you come across something that you know nothing about? For some people this is a frustrating type of feeling (we’ll call you the controlling people) and for others its a freeing feeling.
For me, its the latter. When I don’t know something, it almost feels like an adreneline rush. A moment where I have the opportunity to learn something new if I choose. A change to expand my awareness, skills, understanding and life. (more…)

There are two constants in life. OK, there are more than two… but I’m narrowing it down today. These two constants face us every minute of every day.
Choice and Change.
With the ticking of the clock we have both of them throughout the day; and then we have other aspects of life from our own thoughts to other people to the weather. If you look for certainty in life, it is certain that there will always be choice and change.
But some people tend to forget about the choice part. (more…)

Have you ever felt stuck because you felt you didn’t have a choice about something? Or perhaps stuck because the choice you have are both unsatisfactory?
Every day we are faced with choices. So many choices in fact that it would be virtually impossible to list them all. What to wear, what to eat, what to do…. they are the minor decisions.
In my NLP Coaching practice I often work with people who are ‘stuck’ – and it normally comes down to one of two things: 1) only one option or 2) only two unsatisfactory options. In NLP we have a presupposition that says Choice is better than no choice. Also, NLP suggests that:
If we have only one option we feel cornered, with two options we have a dilemma, but with three or more options we have a choice. (more…)

We’ve obscured our truths by something that isn’t true.
One of the many things that sets us humans apart from other animals is our ability to create, innovate and invent. Yet, this upside can sometimes have a downside.  Within our own innovativeness we’ve all created inventions about ourselves and we wear these inventions. The most powerful of them is the invented separate self.
We separate from our real truth, our authentic self and our congruency. When this happens the ego becomes a fearful, separated entity constantly defending itself, trying to validate and justify itself, to pacify its unworthiness. But we have invented this unworthiness and this separation and we get caught up in it and we begin to create life sabotaging patterns that move out into every area of our lives. I think the most life limiting and life sabotaging patterns are our stories – many of them are not serving you.
What are the stories that work within your life? (more…)
