You Only See What You Expect To See!
There’s a big difference between looking at something and perceiving it. So What Is The Cost Of What You Are Missing – Right Under Your Nose?
Use Your Mantra & Get Lucky
I thought it might help to summarise why the mantra is important to all my clients. A mantra is just a few sentences that is your game plan. It is what you take to work each day, take to the sports arena, or use with your friends and families. Although the concept...
Put Yourself in the Picture
People with vivid visualisation skills do extremely well, and fortunately these skills can be learnt. So whatever you wish to achieve in life be sure to put yourself in the picture.
Why We Love Myelin
Myelin can raise your game to new heights. A medical encyclopedia would define Myelin as a lipid layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord and it’s function is to allow electrical impulses to transmit quickly and...
Carl Jung & Synchronicity
Psychologist Carl Jung viewed luck as synchronicity, and described luck as a meaningful coincidence. So he, like me, believed that luck is not entirely random.
Our Reptilian Brain
We are more reptilian than we might like to think Is it because of our reptilian brain that we find it so difficult to explain the extremes of human behaviour that we see in ourselves and in others? That is a pretty tough question to answer. I often use the...Blog July 2018 – Birmingham Buses
I went to medical school in Birmingham, and what a wonderful city it was and still is. However the bus service in those days had a mind of its own. A common expression was, “This is just like a Birmingham bus. You wait hours for one, and then six turn up at...
Try Being a Hermit for a Few Days
Throughout history people have searched for profound insights through isolation and very often being rewarded. I wondered whether I could be one of them? My earlier experiences were not promising.
Why Lessons Do Not Work
Perhaps your idea of a golf lesson is an incorrect one, where the “darn” Golf Professional is going to bombard you with new and difficult techniques that will take a long time to implement, if ever. In the meantime you will probably be unable to get the ball around 18 holes. Luckily this is not true, and I firmly believe that the best coaches are flexible in their methods so that the individual can enjoy his game, have fun and improve, all at the same time.
Confidence – Remember the Good Times
Remember the Good Times Confidence is a very influential component for getting lucky. Here is another simple technique taken from my book Get Lucky Now that you can practice to attract more confidence into your life. As with most things in life, it will require some...
Bring Life to Your Goal
Make your goal a means to an end and the result of doing other things skillfully along the way. When you reach your goal, do not be surprised when you look back and realize that the real fun was the journey, not the destination.
Self-Knowledge
Artistotle said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Without self-knowledge we drift, or even worse, we waste our time and energy on goals that are meaningless or beyond our control. Not much has changed over the last three thousand years.
How to Choose a Wonderful Goal
This blog continues examining the differences between a congruent goal and the ones that we choose for the wrong reasons. Goals are critical. If you do not know where you are going, then any road will take you there; it will be a long journey, and it may not be a happy one. The shortest route lies in choosing the correct goal.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is one of the techniques included in my NLP coaching programs. Whatever you wish to call it, you will have likely experienced it before, and you know that it was a great feeling. At such times, it feels as if life is easy, and all you have to do is push at open doors.
We Are Not Alone – Part 2
In Part 1 of this blog I suggested we are not alone, but connected to the 8 billion other people who we share our planet with. People either get this concept, or they don’t. Even if they get just a little bit it is often enough to catapult their life to at least the next level.
We Are Not Alone – Part 1
You are not alone in this world, even if it sometimes feels as if you are. You are connected to every other human being through your shared DNA.
Infinite Intelligence
Many people throughout the ages have believed in the existence of infinite intelligence, although they might have used different words to describe it. They feel that their best achievements have more to do with outside forces than their own undoubted ability. If this...
Reptile Relaxation Reflex
The work I did whilst filming with a dragon lizard gave me ideas for a revolutionary technique that I could use with my clients. We have had some incredible successes since then. I call it the reptile relaxation reflex.
Performance Anxiety Can Be Sorted
All of us at some point have to step out of our comfort zone. My general advice to anybody is to accept nothing without exploring all other possible options.
