In NLP we often talk about the 3 minds – the conscious, unconscious and higher conscious mind. Ultimately, it is the unconscious part of our mind that runs us, maintains us and gets us either moving, or not. Our conscious mind is the analytical, thinking mind, but it isn’t actually responsible for much at all.
Think about it – can you consciously sneeze? Get goosebumps? Feel happy? Motivate yourself? (more…)
Have you ever experienced an emotion that you have tried to push away, only for it to get stronger? How about a behaviour that you promised yourself you wouldn’t have, only to break that promise?

As the year comes to an end, its always a good time to take stock of where you’ve been, what you’ve learned and where you are going. In the next few weeks I will help you do just that. However, I want to take a moment to get you to gauge your overall, big picture attitude toward the year. It was interesting to me, in an interview I saw with Madonna the other day she said something interesting, she said “I’m never satisfied”.
