Many things in life were putting pressure on Emma. Her husband just changed jobs and was spending less and less time with her, but is excelling in his new role. Their 9 year old son was getting in trouble at school, her bosses boss was away and this lead to more pressure on her immediate boss and subsequently Emma. Her boss often raised his voice and was very stern with her and he constantly was adding to her workload to offset his own. This added work saw Emma making simple mistakes, and she thought other people in the company were also putting pressure on her to hold her weight in the team.
While she knew she had the capacity and capability, the stress was starting to take its toll. Emma was getting headaches and feeling very overwhelmed – so she did what Emma does with stress… she put her head down and waited it out. (more…)

Oh, I have so many favourite things! Especially when I’m talking about NLP. There are very few parts of NLP that I don’t love… well, the politics in the field I could do without, but the actual aspects of NLP… Love it!

Do you let yourself get outside of your comfort zone often? When you do, what is it that pushes you out? Or perhaps pulls you out? And what makes you jump back in?
I know a lot of people that seem to live on the edge of comfort. They know what they want – and they know what it will take to get there, and from time to time they ‘stick their toe’ over the edge, but then retreat back into safety. (more…)

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.

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?
