Is it actually possible to love too much? If we consider for a moment love and hate as being opposite emotions, we do all no doubt agree that it is easily possible to hate too much. Hate in any degree is a dangerous and destructive emotion. Hating at all therefore constitutes hating too much. But love is a positive e
The concept that thinking in a healthy manner will assist a person to have a healthier physiology is not a new one. Far from it; it is at the heart of ancient traditions. Our bodies mirror the sum total of our thoughts and experiences as well as our genetic inheritance. I was reminded of this fact the other day when
I read an article in the Times this week (Monday June 14th 2010) which gave an overview of Sir Clive Woodward's approach to coaching, highlighting why his system has proven to be so successful. He is a good teacher, which is what makes a good coach. He also pays a great deal of attention to attitude, not just to techni
Some men have the "gift of the gab" with girls but others are left wondering how to even proffer an icebreaker line. Some guys are good at adapting their conversation to the person whom they are addressing whilst others always seem to manage to "put their foot in it" or say something entirely inappropriate. r
Overcoming insecurity is a challenge which many of us face. We can see the benefits of having high self esteem and high self worth quite clearly. We know that to build confidence and be comfortable in every way makes life a whole lot easier. Not only that, as you overcome insecurities and fears many new doors are opene
When you reach a state whereby you feel that you have absolutely nothing to lose you are in that moment empowered. It is ironic that you only reach this state of freedom and empowerment once you think that you have lost that which you previously thought mattered to you. As you feel your desires, goals and wishes slippi
How long is a piece of string? Compatibility is based upon more than just the nuts and bolts of getting along; it also depends upon your level of desire to spend time together. We frequently hear people say that "opposites attract" and this in many cases is absolutely true. However it is entirely possible that opposite
Some people are addicted to excitement, fun or mischief. When I say mischief I mean a little more than regular excitement or good old fun. A person who is addicted to fun is always looking for a laugh. Mischief in the sense I have in mind here should also be distinguished from a pure adrenalin thing; it's kind of lik
Confidence is King. The best gift you can give to your child is confidence. We hear such edicts every day, from all quarters. We know that it's true. Being confident makes almost every experience in life so much easier to deal with. Even so, not everyone is confident. Not everyone has this gift. There are many people
Whether its making love or just a simple hug a human touch has a very soothing effect on the psyche. In fact, for touch to be comforting it does not even always have to be human. Stroking a dog or cat can have a very calming and comfortable effect as well. Even stroking a soft furry blanket can sooth our emotions, pe
When you reach a point in your life that you realize that alcohol is creating problems, then you know that a change is required. Some people drink far more than the doctor recommends but are completely happy with the effect upon their life and their health, and that's fine; you are the person living you life and you ar
I read a passage in a book by Neal Donald Walsh which describes the impact of your thoughts in a very straightforward manner. The passage was entitled "A Thought Is Forever" and went on to describe how thoughts generate energy which then create an impact upon the surrounding world, the universe itself:- "Thought is pur
There are many steps to success in life, be it in business success, financial success or relationship success. One factor which is at the heart of success is that of perseverance. Most people think of success in terms of their business or acquisition of wealth, although ultimately most will agree that the one thing whi
Some people believe that relationships shouldn't need "work". Others appreciate that there can be difficult patches that require some delicate navigation. Sometimes outside circumstances can act to pull you and your spouse together, but often things can happen that propel you in opposite directions unless you work to p
Life is very rich so long as you pause for a moment and choose to seek out its richness. You see what you focus upon and when you focus in the now you feel calm and peaceful. What do you see each morning as you awaken and begin to move around and start your day? More importantly, how do you feel upon awakening to a n
Opening yourself to love not only allows you to enter into nurturing relationships, it also promotes good health and well-being. This effect can often be seen even to the naked eye. We describe someone who is in love as "glowing" because their skin takes on a beautiful luster and everything about them seems to come ali
In golf you often find that the ball travels in an opposite way from that which you intended. It is therefore important to appreciate how to apply the clubface in a way with is congruent with your intent. When you focus your mind clearly with the help of golf hypnosis you will find that the game of golf becomes one of
Building confidence is actually an easier task than you might think. You just have to focus on how you view yourself and your life in a different way. One of the biggest barriers to building confidence is allowing yourself the questionable luxury of thinking "it's not fair" or "I didn't deserve that". r
A fear of lifts may take many forms. Sometimes this fear can be felt as a vague unease, whilst at other times these tingles of anxiety can morph into a full blown panic attack. Anxiety over anything does indeed tend to escalate over time; what begins as a vague feeling of discomfort turns into a completely debilitating
The most important thing in life is finding happiness and promoting happiness to everyone you come into contact with. There are dozens of happiness quotes. One so often hears the phrase that "you cannot buy happiness"; it's true; you cannot buy happiness. But how do you go about the task of finding happiness? True happ
In different cultures we inevitably have varied traditions and food is a key part of our daily lives. There are some cultures that one can be forgiven for assuming to have similar Christmas traditions to each other. But these assumptions could be totally incorrect, as I discovered of English versus American Christmas e
Everybody procrastinates from time to time, more so when you either don't want to do something or if you don't know how to set about doing it. But we do also know that procrastination predetermines failure and so it is extremely important to make a serious effort to overcome it. r
One of the most debilitating things of all must be to suffer from agoraphobia. To not be able to go out and walk around freely, or to just pop to the shop to buy a pint of milk or simply cross a street makes life very, very difficult. People who suffer from agoraphobia are affected in varying degrees. For some the anxi
A golfer told me the other day that his problem was that as soon as he hits one bad shot he finds that he just can't stop thinking about it. It then ruins his entire round. There are a lot of golfers who will identify with this feeling and share a similar reaction. I can't help wondering why golfers let this sort of th
Not everyone likes to be the center of attention when in a large group of people, but we all do need attention in our individual ways. We need attention as a matter of survival. The need for attention is acknowledged by most and yet also feared at times. There are of course times in everyone's existence when you woul
Do you wish that you were more creative or had a better imagination? When you were a child can you remember playing endless games with imaginary friends or creating entire sub cultures in your mind? Have you come across the following quote by Albert Einstein? "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination
Confidence is built by being systematic. Successful people are systemic thinkers. We are creatures of habit, and the key to building self confidence is to create routines and habits which work towards gaining self confidence. If you habitually do things which build your confidence then it is inevitable that your feelin
I just glanced at a fun golf poll out of sheer curiosity and was absolutely horrified at the answers. I got sent a link to new girls golf online magazine, GottaGoGolf, and got hooked by the following question: - What's your plan to be ready to tee off in 2011? (Ok so now it is 2012.) r
When your body and mind are in a state of balance you will enjoy the best of health. Poor health, or dis-ease, reflects an imbalance; it is a physical manifestation of imbalance in some part of your life. It is easy to conjecture that the increase in viral disease and the speed with which it can spread right across the
In golf what sometimes comes to pass is that you are so busy working on various aspects of mechanics and technique that you overlook the obvious intent of the swing...to hit the ball so as to propel it forwards towards the green. We frequently hear comments such as "you lifted your head up" or "peeking too soon is wh
Life is not like a novel. There is never real closure. Yet closure is frequently what we seek. We like to have things come to a logical conclusion, to get things tucked into bed. Life is more cyclical than it is linear. As one door closes, another opens. r
The Kings Speech has recently won rather a lot of awards, and deservedly so. Colin Firth's performance as the King who stuttered was absolutely brilliant. The movie’s screenwriter, David Seidler, was is an unusually good position to add deeper layers empathy to the script as he too had suffered from this same afflict
I suspect that almost everyone is affected by the weather. If you live in a place where the climate is almost always bright and sunny, you probably crave a spot of cool now and again. However, your moods will probably be less affected than those of people who live in darker and damper climes. It is easier to feel brigh
When the sun shines most people notice that their mood is enhanced. Scientists have also noted the automatic physiological response in our brains and bodies as endorphins are released when we are bathed in sunlight; endorphins which provide us with a soothing feel-good factor. r
Have you ever had the thought that you have lost your swing? This thought is not conducive to feeling confident about your game and we all know that good golf requires confidence by the truck load. It's a bit of a chicken and egg thing. You might say that when your swing is right you then have confidence. Others may th
It's not good to feel that you have lost your mojo. Your enthusiasm has gone, there's no excitement, no sparkle. It's hard to get going and everything seems to drag. The feeling of motivation is just a distant memory. You can lose your mojo for work, your relationship or for life in general. The question is how to rais
There are always going to be things in life that we just don't want to do. There are also things that we might want to do but for whatever reason feel that we cannot do them. Something gets in our way, be it doubt, fear, lack of self-confidence or whatever else. In such a situation what can we do to super charge our
The subject of hypnosis is one that naturally seems to attract a high degree of dissention and controversy. Many people quite simply do not think that there is such a thing as hypnosis. They think that it is a trick show, a con, something which people just go along with for a laugh. r
A fear of flying is in this day and age extremely restricting. So many people these days enjoy a lifestyle which involves flying almost as frequently as we used to take taxis. Many jobs are dependent upon flying on a regular basis, be it a short internal flight or one which involves sitting on an airplane for up to twe
A fear of heights can prove to be very uncomfortable indeed. You can avoid some situations but at other times you can be taken by surprise and become imprisoned by your fears. There is a potential easy and effective cure...hypnosis. A fear of heights can be extremely debilitating depending upon how severely you are aff
When you haven't slept you simply do not feel quite right. Your energy levels are depleted and you feel like you are running on a low-grade fuel. Your body feels sluggish and your mind is equally not as sharp as you would like it to be. Sleep problems can be caused for many reasons. Sometimes worry or anxiety can lie
Envy can be likened to a tape worm gnawing away uncomfortably at your inner emotions; and like this parasite which takes up residence in whatever host it can wriggle itself into, envy can feel like an alien being living within your mind and body. A tapeworm lives within the intestines and envy too has the ability to cr
One major reason why successful people are successful is that they have harnessed the ability to focus 100% of their energy and attention into the things that they are doing. They see a vision and they focus their attention upon it. They are not easily distracted. Many of us are not this focused. It's all too easy to
Virtually all golfers seek a way in which they can hit the ball further. We all pursue the dream of hitting ever-longer drives down the middle of the fairway. Most discover that this desire turns out to be a quick recipe for a less consistent direction of ball flight. r
