The Best Medicine… Lifestyle

What is the best medicine? Many believe it is a good simple healthy balanced lifestyle! If you get this right, then many physical and emotional difficulties are minimised! In fact, with most of my clients, before we even begin focusing on the specific problem they have, we make sure to do as much as possible to…

Are you a Tiger or a Tortoise

In most couple relationships, there is often a tiger and a tortoise! Very rarely do I come across two tortoises but on occasion, there may be two tigers. The partner who is ‘tiger-like’ tends to be the louder, noisier one who will get angry, shout, scream, nag, cling and blame when feeling hurt or upset. The partner who is…

Diet Mentality Doesn’t Work…But This Does

Where is your focus? Diet Mentality vs Health Mentality Unfortunately for many people who struggle with maintaining a healthy balanced weight, the focus is on dieting, losing weight & looking better. This can cause a lifetime of underlying dissatisfaction, anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. Many people with this ‘Diet Mentality’, focus most of their attention…

Don’t Give Up

Much can be learnt from Thomas Edison, whose birthday it is today… We learn about never giving up and that ‘failure’ is part of the normal journey towards success. Thomas Edison’s teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything.” He was fired from his first two jobs for being “non-productive.” As an inventor, Edison made 1,000…

Valentine’s Day: A Happy or Sad Day? (Free Give-Away)

I hope Valentine’s Day is a happy day for you (& your partner or spouse if you are in a relationship)…but for many individuals and couples, it may not be. This is because…not everyone has a partner and even if you are in a relationship, it may not be as you wish it to be.…

Do The Next Right Thing

We all go off track… I heard the following this week…” I worked so hard and was perfect on my eating plan and the scale is still up! This just isn’t worth it.” This is normal and part of every journey. A more helpful response is: “Even if I’ve adhered to my eating and exercise program,…

Your Mind is Not Always Your Friend

We all struggle to some extent with our thinking minds. As a fellow human being, I also struggle with managing my thoughts. Perhaps you have noticed that your mind… thinks a lot about the future, with many ‘what if’s’ or worst-case scenario thoughts can be quite self-critical, noticing and commenting on any mistakes or errors may have many ‘shoulds’…

You Need To Do This Daily

So, what is this one thing you need to do daily to be able to stay on track and continuously move in the direction of health and well-being? It’s not what you think… It is BEING KIND TO YOURSELF! Not what you expected, right? Most of us are very hard on ourselves and tend to notice more…

This is Real Listening!

It is real work to be a good listener. Most of us don’t know what true deep listening is about. It’s called Generative Listening. Just knowing what Generative Listening can give you a new perspective about what is possible in your life and relationships. There are Four Levels of Listening: Level 1: Habitual Listening where we are unable to hear anything that doesn’t agree with…

Make It Easy On Yourself And Defeat The Blues

It’s now the last week of February and I am hoping you don’t look and feel like the image above! Some people find this time of the year difficult in that some of the good New Years’ intentions are perhaps proving difficult to keep up. The following are a few tips to get back on track…

Six & Nine are Equal!

I can respect different opinions; because everybody has a story. Richa Chadha This is a wonderful gift we offer the other person…hearing them and respecting their opinion. ‘See’ you again in a couple of weeks…I plan to send something short and sweet fortnightly. Gary Janit I offer confidential individual psychotherapy & CBT as well…

The word ‘Diet’ makes me sick

Diets tend not to work in the long term (as you may have personally discovered) and in actual fact can be blamed for weight gain, low self-esteem, sadness and many more negatives. How about the words, ‘Eating Plan for Life’…doesn’t that already sound better? Ahh, an eating plan that is sustainable and manageable for the…
