I love it when new learnings lend themselves to practical issues. (Note the nominalisation, a concept my spell check still struggles with). Complex therapy took place today. Not the event itself, rather the immense internal barriers to a meaningful reframe. So with new found skills in hand, a neat segway …
The Certificated Wizard
Maybe the tides have turned. For the first time in many weeks, we had a day in the same city. The hospital visit was only 15 minutes away and we even had the space to walk into town for a well-earned coffee/Panini. The sun was shining. Not only that, since …
Kindness, Chaos & Satchmo
This could be good. Not only will you get the eponymous mash up triple bill, you’ll be thrown into the phenomenon of Origami Space Travel. Intrigued? Read on… As you know, I write the random Acts of Kindness column for Perception, the Cognitive Hypnotherapy ezine and this particular missive was fun. I …

I think there may be a need to re-assert some control. The last time I had a full week off, an entire week with no work, was September last year. I checked. That surprised me. Now don’t get me wrong, several of the intervening weeks were by no means full …

Random Perception: A New Beginning
There can be little doubt that helping others creates an effect that ripples outwards from both the giver and receiver. Often the opportunity turns up unannounced and there is only a split second to decide whether or not to act and allow those ripples the chance to spread…. This is …
Pain Procrastination and Broken Cycles
Here’s a thing. Whilst I’ve been attending to things other than blogging, for a variety of good and not-so good reasons, I’ve discovered something interesting. When I have a task that I don’t want to do, my unconscious mind does everything in its power to make it a difficult as …
Less? Maybe it’s more
I’ve been thinking about this for a while. “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen, nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.” Good old Wilkins. We live in a society which panics when the economy falls even a tenth …

Isn’t it surprising how the brain is wired up. Sometimes the simplest exercises can give you a completely different view. Here’s the mid-week re-blog. Occasionally, they’re Just for Fun. It all depends on how you look at it. Click here and enjoy.
