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.

What are the stories that work within your life? (more…)

Do you have a bucket list? Many people do. A list of the things you want to accomplish in your lifetime. How about a general to-do list? Those things that you need to get done? Well, how about a To-Me list? This would be a list of things to do for ME.
Unfortunately, for most people their Bucket List is a dream list; and maybe they’ll get a few of the items on their ticked off. Maybe. People are more likely to do things on their To-Do list… I mean, that’s what it’s there for, right? But do you put stuff like “get a massageâ€, “go to the gymâ€, “make a healthy mealâ€, “meditateâ€. Some people do, most don’t. (more…)

It’s the beginning of the year – time for something new, time to revamp something old, time to start something and time to finish something.
So – with all of this ‘time’ for stuff… when does now become the right time to start?
The real answer to that question – when you make it the right time. (more…)

1. What are you best at – starting, changing or stopping?
