My friend Blake has this thing he does with his girlfriend every Sunday. It’s essentially a relationship check-in. A dedicated time set aside where they ask each other a bunch of - occasionally toe-curling -questions. Things like, ‘How could I have SUPPORTED you better this past week?’, ‘What do you want to EXPLORE sexually in our relationship this month’ or ‘What do you currently MORE +
The Four Agreements – the power to change your life?
How many agreements have you made with yourself and others this week? Whether it's work commitments, social catch-ups, family obligations or all the internal agreements we make with ourselves on a daily, weekly and mostly Monday morning basis (this week I am definitely going to start that project, finish that thing, eat more veggies, get that weird mole checked out, not buy anything else MORE +
The Subtle Power of the Vagus Nerve (& how to stimulate yours)
Keen to combat stress and anxiety? Looking for a way to fast-track your recovery from injury or illness? Want to do it by stimulating a nerve you (probably) haven't even heard of? For such an over-achiever, the Vagus nerve - the longest nerve in the body - doesn't get a lot of air time. Which is weird, because when we get stressed out and our bodies get drenched in stress hormones (cortisol MORE +
Imposter Syndrome – Who Do You Think You’re Fooling?
Have you ever felt that ANY minute now they are bound to work it out? That you aren't really worthy or deserving. It must be some weird quirk of fate, dumb luck or a mistake on their part. That despite some vague signs of competence, it's clear you will soon be discovered for the blatant fraud you obviously are. Same. I've tried so many different things in my life that the gentle hum of MORE +
Can You REALLY Change? The Problem With New Year’s Resolutions.
If you're anything like me, your new year's narrative is probably already in full swing. Yup, 2021. We are REALLY doing this. We are going to stop drinking (well, at least during the week). We are going to lose 10 pounds (and fit back into those jeans that have been winking at us for the last 4 years). We are going to finally learn how to meditate, get on top of our finances, eat more damn MORE +
Eat, Drink & Be Merry – Without Getting Fat, Wasted & Sad – The 2020 Edit.
Operation Christmas is now full steam ahead. Wherever you look, halls are being decked, hams are being glazed and credit cards are getting spanked. Only 7 more sleeps until the fat man comes down the chimney and we all slather ourselves in bread sauce and festive cheer. So just in the St. Nick of time, here is a re-run of our Christmas Survival Guide – to help you gracefully navigate yourself MORE +
Should You Lend Money to Friends?
The short answer is, probably not. Why? Because, much like sex, when things go wrong it can leave you in a sticky, awkward mess. Let's examine the potential for fallout and how you can minimise the damage. The Uncertainty Factor: Loans to family and friends tend to be loose, open-ended agreements. Because, unlike the bank, we don't usually require forms to be filled in and securities MORE +
The Confusing Truth About Good Habits.
When it comes to propelling oneself forward in life, good habits are the holy grail. Whether it be regular exercise, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep or saying ‘No’ to the nicotine monster, once an action is repeated enough it becomes unconscious. Which means we no longer need to rely on our unreliable mate 'motivation'. We just do it - Easily! The confusing (and slightly MORE +
How to Stop Dating The Wrong People.
When it comes to love, what is the dream case scenario? I'm guessing it's a hot friend, who is in equal parts confidante, cheerleader, partner in crime and epic shag. A warm hearted, witty individual with an agreeable friendship group and a financial trajectory that is, quite frankly, impressive. Someone who smells nice, dresses well, shares most of our hobbies/interests, is a surprisingly good MORE +
How to get FREE Money.
If I told you that you could make $1000+ with very little effort - would you be keen? Of course you would! And, Sure. Being offered a wad full of cash sounds way more appealing than 'saving on your household bills'.....but, essentially they amount to the same. The truth is most of us are being ripped off. Why? Because, the majority of us are too lazy, clueless, busy or not bothered MORE +
