Monday Mojo – Start With Simple
Do you ever feel like things are so unnecessarily complicated? Like the times you forget your password – you go to reset it and the app says “you can’t use that, that’s the old one”. I mean, sometimes even the simplest things are just not easy. In some ways, technology has made our lives ‘better’. When I forget…

Monday Mojo – Curb the Critic
Has someone been pushing your buttons lately? I’m not sure if Mercury is retrograde again, but there’s definitely something a bit ‘salty’ in the air, when it comes to human interaction. Everyone seems a bit tense, words get taken out of context, good intentions might pave the way to hellish backlash, and some just seem…

Monday Mojo – Complete the Circle
Do you ever feel disconnected from the world around you? You may well know the joy of finding someone who is on the same wavelength, but it can be harder to forge those connections as we get older. In the old days, back at school, we might have said “will you be my friend?”…

Monday Mojo – Stretch Your Wings
Do you ever feel like there’s “more” to life? Not necessarily that you’ve settled for something, but sometimes we can feel like there’s just….something else. One of the things we explore on my Live with Purpose course, is one of the big life questions: “Why am I here?” What’s so interesting is, from the group discussions…

Monday Mojo – Befriend the Error
Have you ever made a mistake? I’m going to guess yes, and there’s no shame in that. We all do it, because we’re all human. However, how we respond to it can have a real impact. When we stuff up, it can feel like we’ve punched ourselves in the gut. We might feel a range…

Monday Mojo – Find Your Rest
How tired are you? If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, feeling the strain of constant busy-ness, or just trying to keep all the plates spinning, you won’t be alone. Most of us are busy people (and as I explain in Answers in The Dark, a nation of poor sleepers), so if you’ve…

Monday Mojo – Release not Detach
Imagine for a moment I’ve just given you a full glass of water, told you to hold it out in front of you and, no matter what happens, you can’t put it down until I say so. You might be ok for a few moments, but after a while it’s going to ache. Your arms…

Monday Mojo – Notice the Feels
How are you feeling? When life is busy, we might struggle to recognise or find ways to describe our emotions. When there’s so much going on, we might experience a range of feelings – we might even realise we’re feeling none of them or all of them. One thing I talk about in my book Answers In The…

Monday Mojo – Keep Feeling Inspired
Do you celebrate your successes? As humans, it’s something we may be nervous about. We might feel worried about blowing our own trumpet for fear of being seen as arrogant. We might think twice about patting ourselves on the back for a job well done, in case anyone thinks we are full of ourselves. We…

Monday Mojo – Keep It Simple
Do you ever feel like life is so complicated? Sometimes we just want things to be straightforward. Not difficult.Not messy.And definitely not scary. Living in the 21st century is like that though, isn’t it? Sometimes we just want every day living to be, well…easy. When something goes wrong, or needs fixing, or just drains our time…
