Why?

Because your brain is lying!

Listen to what it’s saying and scrutinise the statement before swallowing it whole.

Whyever not? BECAUSE!

Because they don’t work. Because they’re just wishes, not based in any reality. They’re an empty hope, waiting for the Wish Fairy to wave her magic wand.

I’d like you to look at life a little differently.

Life is not a game to be won or lost!

It just is.

All you have to do is live it.

Life is truly a marvel, and you will miss out on so much if you spend your time trying to control what happens.

Notice what you like about people rather than what you don’t like.

Because, you see, how you think of the person in front of you shapes how they’re going to show up for you.

We are reared as nice, polite, little girls and boys.

We are taught to ASK before doing things.

“Don’t just dive in!” we’re told. “Ask nicely and wait your turn …”

And that’s all good and well for bringing children up to be well-mannered, and not grabby hooligans!

This is another of those WRONG questions! Of course you have worth, and that worth will vary for whoever you’re dealing with.

Ask a better question and you’ll get a better answer!

The important thing is to remember your own value as an individual

Can you wait? Can you wait indefinitely? Can you keep on waiting …?

So - what are you waiting for?

Are you waiting for things to suddenly turn around and trundle forward just as you want them to?

Isn’t that what we all yearn for? To be able to do what we love, all day long?

I guess it’s the reason so many people look forward to retirement - so they can leave the hateful or boring day job and enjoy endless gardening, or travelling, or reading, or …

Do you struggle through your days, with half an eye on the clock and half an eye on your to-do list?

Do you rush from pillar to post, always worrying that you’re missing something and you’re going to be late?

The roots of this chaos may lie deep in your past!

We all start out with such fresh-faced enthusiasm for our future.

And some of us keep that enthusiasm in everything we do! If that’s you, that’s amazing, and rewarding, and fulfilling.

But many of us can get swept along by outside forces.

Were you always the calm one, ever ready with ideas for how to make things work?

Were you always the one people came to for advice?

Were you always the daredevil who’d try anything?

Do you know Martha Graham? She was an influential dancer and teacher. She will have most certainly seen plenty of people (possibly including herself) who doubted themselves.

Our daily habits make our life what it is. What we can achieve every day is entirely down to how we spend our time. And that’s often governed by habit!

Asking questions is an art! Ask the wrong question and you are guaranteed to get the wrong answer?

To get the answer you want, you must ask better questions!

But what question should you ask?

As a busy friend of mine once put it, talking about running her farm and her young family, “Some days I meet myself coming back!”

“Oh my gosh! Does that mean we are predestined to live life as dictated by whoever set up our belief system in the first place?”

What I’d like you to look at today is what we can control, and what we can’t.

And how to tell the difference!

We live in a time of unprecedented knowledge about, and care for, our health.

And after centuries of considering women a poor copy of men, the health professional world now sees women as separate entities with a totally different make-up!

Do you find yourself always putting others first?

This m-a-a-a-y not be quite what was intended when you were brought up to be kind and thoughtful.

Being kind and thoughtful is ACE! Of course! We all want to make the world a better place for us being in it.
