This is a follow-up to the last video about the importance of vulnerability - because vulnerability comes with baggage.

Vulnerability is something that’s pretty fundamental to our well-being, our ability to deeply connect and inspire others.  The problem is, we’re living in a world where being vulnerable and being real feels really dangerous.   

If you’re working towards some sort of personal change or towards a particular goal, whether that’s getting fit, improving mental health or even getting a new job there’s a simple concept that can shape the results you get.

Simple but game-changing.

Obedience versus independent thinking in our kids...does it have to be either-or?

Today I’m sharing another behaviour pattern that I’m working on which particularly kicks in when I have a holiday or we’re doing something special. 

I can have every intention of being present and enjoying life moment by moment…and then I have the urge to

‘make the most out of it’ ...

I’m right royally in my ‘stretch zone’ and it is sooooo uncomfortable, but I know the only person who can move beyond limiting beliefs and behaviours, passed down generation to generation, is me. Which is why I’m choosing to keep calm(ish) and carry on.

How to see things from a different perspective to improve relationships and calm conflicts. 

Sharing everyday challenges, when we feel the fear and do it anyway, is key to encouraging our kids to step outside their comfort zone.

What better way to model resilience and a positive mindset than choosing to do something when as an adult you have the option to avoid it!

How we can encourage ourselves and our kids to do stuff!

Why we should drop "DON'T"

Today’s 101 builds on my last video about how we can use our imagination to help rather than hinder us and covers another aspect of our inner world that can bite us on the bum. 

Self-talk.

It's really easy to become fixated on what everyone else is doing, having and achieving rather than focusing on the good stuff in our own lives.  So how can we quit the evil habit of comparing and despairing so we're all a whole lot happier?

I'm not happy with yesterdays 101 video but this is all about why I'm leaving it up and moving on.
