DO MORE THAN YOU NEED TO....

Jan 05 2025 2 mins  
This week, I want to talk to you about why you should always try to do more than you need to, if you want to achieve anything. Sometimes, you really have to challenge yourself and push yourself beyond what is strictly necessary. if you really want to succeed at something. We are often so naturally programmed to do just enough to meet the minimum requirements for anything, so that

VERY FEW THINGS ARE REALLY SECRET...

Jan 05 2025 2 mins  
This week I want to talk to you about how very few things are really as secret as you think they are. It’s so important to be aware of this and to think twice before sharing sensitive information, or keeping secrets that could harm you or others if revealed. Have you ever thought a secret you keep is completely secure and known only to you? The truth is that very few things are

PHONES ARE DISTRACTION DEVICES…

Jan 05 2025 2 mins  
This week, I want to talk to you about how our phones are really just distraction devices. We all know that feeling, don’t we? You’re at dinner with family or friends and suddenly everyone’s staring at their screens. It’s like the world around becomes secondary and I sometimes wonder what important moments people may be missing out on, because their eyes are glued to their

IT'S ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK…

Jan 05 2025 2 mins  
---- This week, I want to talk to you about how, as the adage goes, something is always in the last place that you look for it. It seems a bit obvious, doesn’t it? But I want to look at this phrase a bit closer here and also from another perspective, as usual! You've probably heard yourself saying it countless times, perhaps mumbling it while on a search for your keys, wallet,

EVEN PERFECTIONISTS MAKE MISTAKES...

Dec 01 2024 2 mins  
This week I want to talk to you about how even perfectionists sometimes make mistakes and how you can never do something perfectly, so you should not worry if you do not do something perfectly if you know that you've tried your best. Making mistakes is just part of being human and the way we learn and grow. If you are one of those people who strives for perfection in everything an

DO THE WRONG THING TO DO THE RIGHT THING… (part 2 of 2)

Dec 01 2024 2 mins  
This week, I want to continue with my thought from last week and talk to you again about how sometimes you must do the wrong thing to do the right thing. As I said, this is a very difficult concept to wrestle with personally in some situations. This week I want to look at this topic in more depth. Sometimes, the right choice isn’t immediately obvious and you are faced with makin

DO THE WRONG THING TO DO THE RIGHT THING… (part 1 of 2)

Dec 01 2024 2 mins  
This week, I want to talk to you about how sometimes you must do the wrong thing to do the right thing. This is a very difficult concept to wrestle with personally, as it’s a paradoxical idea and not intuitive so, as I have a lot to share here, I’m going to split it into two parts this week and next week. We grow up tending to believe in strict rules of right and wrong, always

HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY..

Dec 01 2024 2 mins  
This week, I want to talk to you about how hope is not a strategy. Whilst it's always very important to remain optimistic and keep faith in the possibility of positive outcomes, relying solely on hope without taking action is just not a sustainable approach to achieving anything in life. Hope is a beautiful thing, but it should always be complemented actively also with determinati

THE SPOTLIGHT EFFECT...

Nov 03 2024 2 mins  
This week I want to talk to you about 'The Spotlight Effect', which is the tendency for people to overestimate how much attention other people are paying to them in social situations than they actually are. We all have moments in life where we feel like everyone seems to be watching and judging us. We therefore feel that we're always somehow in the spotlight, even though we're no

WE VALUE IT MORE IF WE PAY MORE FOR IT...

Nov 03 2024 1 mins  
This week I want to talk to you about how we always seem to value something more if we pay more for it. Have you ever noticed like me that you always tend to value something more when you pay more for it? This psychological phenomenon is called 'The Endowment Effect' and is another unconscious bias that causes people to value something more, simply because they pay more money for
