I do love those times when we are taking off on a plane and you get that aerial view of the world beneath us - not that lately I have had the pleasure - but hopefully soon we can all be planning fun trips away if you haven’t already. When the sky is clear, the best views you can have are often over England, as the country and landscape is a totally different array of views. From the spalling cities and villages to the ploughed fields looking like a massive patchwork quilt. Then the hills and

Time is a strange thing; when we are waiting for it to pass, it can seem so slow, yet on the other hand, we can get lost in time and it all just seems to have rapidly evaporated. Also, how we see time in our outer world is different to how we see things in our inner world. Clocks are devices created by us humans to measure time. We all need this measurement to help us live our lives and coordinate our activities according to clock time. Without clocks, our lives would be very confusing, and we would

Moving forward in life can take a combination of things, we can move slowly or quickly or even somewhere in between but also, we can move in circles. Making choices to enhance the process is what we should all aspire to do, not because we must, more because, why wouldn't we? Life is something we need to make the most of, and to do this we do not need to live life with procrastination and putting things off. If we take the time, we may be using it to procrastinate and put things off, to convert this

Life can feel like an uphill climb sometimes, which can seem like a struggle having to go through those challenging times. Whether this challenge is a work-related one and we must put in a lot more time and input into our work to reach the end results we need to achieve, or maybe we must do some house or garden detoxing to do or DIY changes. With the time we need to input into these challenges, fitting this in on top of what we already have to do can sometimes seem overwhelming. It might also be an

Motivating ourselves can often be seen as something we just work at trying to do, but I believe to get the best out of ourselves, we need a plan and to see the true end goal. With a planned approach to change, this can help our minds see the beginning, the middle and the end results of what we are working to achieve. If we don’t, our minds will be guessing what the end result should be, if we don’t tell our minds what we want, how can your mind positively help you? Our mind is always in search of

Depression is a low mood that lasts for a long period of time and will be affecting your everyday life. In its mildest form, depression can mean just feeling a little down, more emotional and being in low spirits. In those mild cases, it doesn't stop you from leading your normal life but makes everything seem such an uphill battle and harder to do, also it can make it feel less worthwhile in trying to do things. At its worst and most severe levels, depression can be life-threatening, it can consume

Life is getting more complicated for all of us and what can come with this is added pressure and nerves to perform well and live up to these expectations. The more we learn about communicating with people and learning to not judge people, can sometimes negatively affect us if we struggle with social situations. It can leave us in a place of second-guessing what we should or shouldn't say and add to our existing nerves and worries. Finding new ways to think about being around people can help with

Our minds are heavily influenced by the world around us and this is a good time to have a good clear-out in your home, garage, garden or shed. If we live in a cluttered house and are holding on to lots of things that we don't need, then this will be having a negative impact on our minds. It sends the message to our minds that we need to hibernate, holding onto everything in case we might need it, or we feel we can't let it go or we will be causing our inner minds to feel unsafe. Hibernating and

Spring

Spring is such a great time when we can feel ready to make changes, as it is a time of year for our English countryside to spring into life. It's great for those later nights now and the warmer weather on the horizon. This is such a great time to make changes, as our inner primeval minds are ready to move much more quickly as they see this time of year as the end of hibernating through the winter and time to get busy. Making the most of our natural motivational times, is a great way in supporting us

Things are about to change for us in England and the loosening of the lockdown for many people is an exciting thing but for some people, it can seem a scary next step. Our inner minds are always looking for patterns and ways to protect us. This is our primaeval mind; it is amazing and is constantly looking to keep us safe and out of danger. But it can also make mistakes with things, as it can read the wrong messages and so in turn send you the wrong signals back to you because of it. In our

Most of us are familiar with those nagging thoughts that tell us we are not good enough, casting doubt on our ability to achieve our goals and undermining our accomplishments. These thoughts might be there to greet us when we first wake in the morning, about how bad we are at our jobs or life and can even be the first things we think when we see ourselves in the mirror in the morning – “You're so unattractive, you're looking even fatter, how ugly are you”. This horrible inner critic might continue

Our negative pasts can sometimes weigh heavy on our hearts, but also can have a massive impact on how we live our lives in the now. Because we all have past experiences, we have a part of our inner mind that we call our inner ‘Observing Self’ or the ‘inner witness’ and this part of you is always doing just that. It observes and records what you think, feel, say and do moment to moment. It doesn’t decide if what you are doing is right or wrong, it just observes and records. It is a bit like our own

Confidencecomes from deep inner feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind, your inner self-esteem and belief in your abilities, skills and experience. Confidence is an attribute that most people would like to possess and you will be pleased to hear that it is a learned and developed habit. It’s such a great thing to be confident and I do think everyone admires a self-confident person. We may even envy them a little as those self-confident people seem really at ease with themselves,

Keeping our mood upbeat and bright is essential in protecting our mental health and finding ways to keep us more optimistic when dealing with life’s stresses, can help us. We all have to accept that there are things in life that we can't change, this being the case getting stuck in the negative thoughts of these situations won’t help you. It’s time to challenge your mindset and get into this more positive way of thinking in as many situations as we can. We have to accept that there will always be

We have been looking at ways of how to help us keep our mood in a good place even when life can be a challenge to us. This is a key thing not only in helping our mood but also in keeping our levels of anxiety in a stable and low place. If we spend lots of time with those worries and ‘what-if's’, we will be creating lots of inner fear and anxiety and if it is left unchecked, it can run riot within us. A good plan is to stop this before it starts, if it's just at the beginning of starting to ruminate,

There is one thing we always have to keep clear within our minds and that is that none of us knows what the future brings and however hard we try; this will never change. But there are lots of things we can do to point us in a good direction and one of these is being positive. This is not about trying to reassure ourselves with mantras of ‘It will be ok’, it’s about having a strong mindset to see the positive way forward first.

This year with the pandemic I think we are all feeling a bit stuck. This can mean that moving forward seems more strained for many of us. Making changes is always a challenge for our minds as we have spent much of our millions of years on this planet playing it safe to stay alive. These old habits are still within us and it’s important to understand these more to help give us more freedom and drive to move our lives forward.
