YOUR ENVIRONMENT and THE PEOPLE you surround yourself with became obvious Oh, and our PERCEPTION of the PAIN or PLEASURE feeling that we’re finding ourselves in I remembered I wrote about this before Did some digging Found it And here it is…… PAIN… A situation you’re facing is making you uncomfortable, lost and often freaking angry You have two choices…Stay where you are and continue to suffer OR Reach out for help, a sounding board and a mirror to see your situation in a different light A light that makes you realise, that the only reason you’re experiencing pain is the interpretation of the situation you find yourself in NO PAIN IN THIS WORLD COMES FROM THE SITUATION YOU’RE FACING […]

Or even you? Maybe it’s a deeper issue at play. Did you know that dopamine regulates our motivation and desire to move towards results? Sure you did. But maybe you might not know that dopamine has a base level which fluctuates based on past exposures. So, the more ‘peaks’ people are having (chasing the feel good), The lower we go on baseline as a way to compensate. Think of this example. Before the gym, People might have a coffee which has an effect on up regulating dopamine receptors. Then the coffee doesn’t cut it anymore, So they load up on a pre-workout. Then it’s music to get them revved up in a workout. All these things lead to peaks in […]

Cliché I know but hear me out here… It was our 12 year anniversary on Friday… I wrote 10 lessons for 10 years (2 years ago)… FB kindly reminded me So I dropped in a couple more for good measures Seriously! If you can apply those in your relationship, you are winning! Winning at life … and sanity! As without all of these, Cliff and I would definitely not be here celebrating… 1. COMMUNICATE I wrote about this several times before in much detail… If you ain’t in the game of talking, you better get practicing or you’re setting yourself up for a painful failure. Nothing can take you through challenge and crisis (and you won’t and can’t avoid these […]

What aspects of you that you know don’t serve you anymore do you still feed by seeking validation and connection through? Pain? Anxiety? Food and drink habits? Money stuff? I can keep going Let me break this down a little as I get that the first line may seem like conscious riddles… You know the thing you say you don’t want in your life anymore The stuff that you keep working on Yet somehow Somewhere In the middle of a conversation With a friend Or a stranger Slip out You tell your story And bang there’s the validation There’s the connection You unconsciously seek And then you may or may not realise Right after Or a little while later And […]

Do you know that you’ll always find a way to do whatever you need to do in your life? Regardless of how easy or challenging something may seem Your mind and body are amazing at pulling out an answer, a solution, an outcome Sometimes… Quite often shall I say that those solutions will be nothing more than just a bundle of what you’ve learnt before mashed up together to get to your outcome By hook or by crook You’ll get there! YET! Is it possible that there is a Quicker/ Easier/ More efficient/ More effective way of getting where you want to get to? Of course there is! Yet… there’s a price tag on that one! Awareness, responsibility and then […]

I’m grieving my island life… Tears were to flow and all feels were to be had in the middle of my very basic workout (as I can’t do much more atm) that in the past would have been my warm up… So I let go and surrendered What else is an option? I’m grieving the sun as my capacity is minimal I’m grieving the sea waves and the breeze as my breathing is laboured I’m grieving my donkey friend who I’ll miss dearly, my friends, connections and everything this island has gifted us over the years of coming and going And more than anything I’m grieving our beautiful house, the garden the stunning pool I got to swim in SO […]

As it was my day of birth yesterday, it threw me a little into reflection. This year has been one of my busiest, and it’s also been one of the worst years in my health for around 12 years. Yet, the two are not as entwined as it might look. Many get busy and sacrifice their health, yet I have aimed to do the opposite. Yet here I am, being brutally honest, not in a good place. Reacting to over 100 foods, Sensitive to chemical smells, Even putting the washing out sets off runny nose / eyes. Brain is limited to a couple of hours of productive work a day. Now this might seem weird coming from the guy that […]

You can only ever see 2 things in front of you: PROBLEMS or OPPORTUNITIES And it’s only YOU who can choose which one! ALIGNMENT! The fact is – we are ALWAYS ALIGNED to something! Whether it serves us or not is a different story. 99% of human population will (unconsciously) choose to stay aligned to their fucking bullshit stories And playing the victim, thinking that life happens to them and that’s just the way it is I SAY FUCK THAT!!!! Are you with me? Yes? Ok, so now repeat out loud: FUCK THAT! I am NOW choosing to take back my POWER and decide what it is I see in front of me! Problems or opportunities… Our PERCEPTION has nothing […]

How’s that working out for you? Seriously…I am curious! Everything we’ve ever wanted is a state of BEING. Not a state of DOING And not a state of HAVING Doing and having comes as a result of being first. It is a FEELING that we’re after. Not an object or an action of getting it. Think about it… You’d have heard me quote Eckhart Tolle before and his war mindset understanding, that when you focus on fighting.. You have to have a reason to fight, otherwise the point of your life becomes nonsensical And nonsensical is the biggest threat to our identity. It’s the death of it. The death of you. So now, think about this for a moment. Or […]

FLOW…THE BIGGEST CON OF OUR TIMES Did that catch your attention? Good Let me share with you a tale of how a humongous industry has been built Around the most natural of human states… FLOW the mystical, the shamanic, the magical most precious and sought after states Is available to you and you and you and you too Wait for it…………..ON TAP! At a click of a finger Just because. And there’s no need for: – outside circumstances – pharmaceutical substances – and technological advances To allow you to be in your most natural always available state as a human being A bit of a shocker ain’t it? As up until now you’ve likely considered Only a small selected group […]
