I love common sense psychology applied with uncommon commitment… and with a deep practicality

I’ve seen Alexander Armstrong, Sir David Attenborough, Gabby Logan and Jeremy Clarkson all travel on the train I regularly use to go to London… I reckon this could make a great tv show… TV Stars in Standard Class… a bit like Stellar Street but on a train and with the real people!

#stormdarragh at #pwlldubay in #thegower Great day to be holed up in a cosy, beach side cottage. Just sit and be and enjoy the energy around

Confidence can be built from the past but also held back by it… therefore you really need a great operating system that helps you build on what’s gone before with a curiosity to enjoy the chance to create new successes to add to the mix. Continuous Confidence will serve you well.

My regular request to stop writing “I hope you are well?” in emails, or any other writing!

It’s not a bloody question.

I hope you are well.

It’s probably not trauma you’re talking about and you probably haven’t been triggered.

It’s important to stop using clinical terminology in everyday situations.

it’s important to stop medicalising relatively normal disruptions in mood and thoughts.

Mind your language and mind your mental health.

Would be an easy thing to use some biofeedback to roll through some rituals until some type of “baseline” state is achieved to show the session is mentally/physically done

Either a structured evaluation of the “so what?” of the session, maybe a mental ritual to return to a baseline level of activation… or a selfie that sums up the satisfaction with the session with a facial expression posted on all accounts!

Be a great study to do some mental only warm down and some mental and physical and see what markers might change differently.
