Have you seen the movie We Bought a Zoo? I only saw it a few weeks ago, and I loved it. There was a line in the movie that the dad said to his son; and it struck home for me in many ways. He said… you only need “20 seconds of insane courage†to get anything done. Too true! Its so easy to hesitate at something – saying something, asking something, doing something – but if you had just 20 seconds of insane courage to just start – to just say the first few words – to just jump… what would be different in your world?

You may have heard me speak about this, or maybe you’ve read one of my articles about it… Life work balance.
More so a few years ago, but there was a time fairly recently that this was a buzz term – “you need to create life work balanceâ€â€¦ even now, some of my clients come to me and say “I just need more life work balanceâ€. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which way their scale is leaning – people don’t often say to me something like “you know Heidi, I think I’m living too much, I really need to work moreâ€.
Now, here is what I think of “life work balance†– I think it’s a croc… we don’t need life work balance, we need balance – just balance. (more…)

You may know that in April we brought Dr. Stephen Gilligan to Sydney from the USA for Trance Camp. Steve teaches a form of Generative Trancework that is based on Milton Erickson’s hypnotic work. Steve was a student for many years of Erickson’s and is probably the best Ericksonian Hypnotherapist around.
Anyway – one of the main tools that is taught and mastered by many in Trance Camp is Centering. That is, finding and connecting with your Center.
We each have our own way to center, our own way of grounding ourselves and coming “home†to ourselves. When you are in your center – nothing can push you, move you, manipulate or hurt you. This perhaps is another way of saying “congruentâ€. (more…)

Have you ever experienced happiness? True happiness? Bliss? Joy? Freedom? I’m sure you have! Hopefully quite a bit in your life, but even if its just small touches of these things, that is great.
I work with a lot of people in my coaching practice who are trying to get these things (and more) by doing something. For example “I’ll be happy when I get a new house†or “I’ll be free when I work for myselfâ€â€¦ Interestingly, when we put conditions on anything our unconscious mind creates a new set of rules that we then live by. Really, if a person says that they’ll be happy when they get a new house – do they really mean that they won’t be happy until then? No, probably not. But, the unconscious mind is extremely intelligent and takes everything literally.
Would you like to know the true key to ultimate happiness and understanding? (more…)

Can you imagine if you had the same values and beliefs and aspirations as when you were four years old? How about ten? Twenty? Maybe some of the things you wanted then are still relevant, but not all… this is because our maps change.
We each have a map of our world – this tells us where we are going, where we’ve been, what we want, what is important to us, what we will and won’t stand for. This map was and is continually created by our surroundings, the people in our lives, our education, financial standing, location, etc. I can guarantee you that living in a busy city like Sydney, Australia creates a different map for me as compared to living in a slow paced place like near a beach in Tahiti.
Our maps are changeable. (more…)

People fall in and out of love all the time, don’t they? Have you ever wondered what the secret recipe is for couples who fall in love and STAY in love?
Is it just a choice thing? I think a few generations ago it was just that – a choice thing… or rather, a must thing. After all, it wasn’t too long ago that marriage was a must for so many things and divorce just wasn’t something that is done.
But now days, things are different. Its not so uncommon for people to be married, (or at least in a committed domestic relationship) a few times in their lives. So, choice still could be an ingredient for long lasting relationships. So could intimacy, respect, trust, commitment, friendship, companionship, growth, etc. (more…)
