How do you feel when you see a grown man cry? A close friend. A brother. Your Dad. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’re not alone. The Cure sang ‘Boy’s Don’t Cry’ in their classic 80’s anthem. It’s built into our collective psyche. Men aren’t supposed to cry. It’s just not what men do…

Goal setting is a big part of January but so many of us are back on the booze/cigs/meat/sugar/wheat/dairy and sat on the sofa in our shiny, unused trainers by the end of the month. So let me ask you this. WHAT exactly is your goal? Write it down. Look at it. On a scale of…

Good question. It’s one I’ve been asked quite a lot by both friends and colleagues. The meaning is very significant and resonates deeply with me. So let me explain. Rising Vibe is ultimately, about FEELING GOOD. We all want to feel good, but quite often we don’t. Why is this? How can we start to…

Imagine genuinely feeling good every day. For real. No pretending. When people ask how we are and we say ‘fine thanks’, we really are fine. Imagine that?! Well, it’s possible. In my keynote speech at the Spa Life International Conference last week in Birmingham, I talked about how, by controlling our thoughts and managing our…

Set your boundaries and then reinforce them!

Let’s get one thing straight about setting boundaries. Boundaries are not selfish. Boundaries are self-CARE. Selfish is getting stranded on a desert island with a group of people and eating all the food. Selfish is sailing off into the sunset in a 4-man lifeboat and watching our friends drown. We’re being selfish when we’re concerned…

In other words, it’s time to get wise to all that chat going on inside our heads, because what we think about can manifest as reality. You’d be amazed how often people talk to me about their fear of presentations. They just hate them because they believe they’re not very good at them. The closer…

Do you ever find yourself saying things like ‘I have no confidence when it comes to public speaking,’ or ‘I’m really terrible at Maths,’ or even the dreaded ‘I’m not good enough.’ If you’re running negative internal dialogue, you’ll become your own self-fulfilling prophecy. Telling yourself day after day that you have no confidence, guarantees…
