Are you being thwarted from doing your job? Are you aware of little comments here and there that start you doubting yourself? Or perhaps there are disruptions to your workflow caused by the unnecessary interference of another. Do you get that feeling that someone else wants to be you.

Others were not looking to lose weight but were interested in the psychology…
Part 3 of the Working Towards your Goal series. So, now you know where you are and where you want to be the big question next is how do I get there. A friend of mine did this exercise recently.

Honesty and truth about yourself will set you free to open yourself up to happiness, creativity, success and freedom. I’m going to show you a little exercise I use with clients looking to make…
So, its the 21st January and today is the day when most New Year resolutions are said to fall apart. Its all fine and good to resolve for change but unless your are specific about what it is you are aiming for then how can you stick to it.
