Should You Stop Watching the News?
When the news is full of disaster and distress as it has been in excess lately, I often hear people say that they never watch the news or read newspapers. While I can understand why they might feel that is the best course of action, the truth is that we are all here...
Today Really Is The First Day of The Rest of My Life!
A couple of days ago I took my youngest child to university 200 miles from our home; his brother already lives 400 miles away in the city where he attended university. So I now find myself living alone for the first time in 27 years. I say this not so you will feel...
Baby steps will still get you success!
In modern life we always seem to seek instant gratification: crash courses, instant access, overnight success, instant weight loss, 24 hour delivery,all night opening! But of course this wasn't always the case; once upon a time you had to save up for things you wanted...
Ditch The Drama Queen
We all know her, don't we- that woman who spends her life lurching from one crisis to another, making dramatic exits, slamming doors, driving off into the night.... We put up with it- it's her hormones, it's her time of the month, it's her age, things always seem to...

Should you be worried about the ‘Nocebo Effect’?
We are all familiar with the Placebo Effect, the idea that something will make you feel better if you believe it will. Indeed one of the accusations of sceptics about complementary therapies is that they are 'merely' acting as a placebo. But the placebo effect is...
How could Reiki help you?
I'm about to finish a Reiki 1 course tomorrow and I will start another soon. It never fails to amaze me how much the students appreciate the classes, how much they feel deflated when they realise that 'next week is your last class'. I have no expectations about how...
What Price Friendship?
A couple of weeks ago I went for lunch in Paris. An American friend of mine was on holiday there and whereas in the past I would have thought, 'what a shame she isn't coming to London, I don't know when I'll see her again', this time I thought 'I don't know when I'll...
Seeking Serenity?
Many women these days seem to be in a state of complete overwhelm. Very often they say something like, 'I would really love to do that, but I just can't fit anything else into my schedule'. Somehow we have managed to fill our lives so fully with work, caring for...
