After reading the post on Steve Pavlina’s site on how to build a stronger ego, I realised that he was speaking directly to some of the concerns I’d been having recently.  I’ve talked a lot before about the ego, and how it is a force in our lives that we would do well to recognise.  [...]

I think it was Anthony Robbins who first introduced this term to me, though it may have been earlier but he’s the furthest back that my memory goes for this concept.
Basically, anchoring is just one facet within the field of NLP that he has helped to advance.  As written in the wiki page, it is [...]

I’ve mentioned previously that I was re-reading the book How to win friends and influence people.  I’ve just finished it and while there is heaps of great material contained in that book, I found some of it contrasts with what I’ve come to understand and accept recently from writings such as The Power of Now.
For [...]

Lately, I’ve been feeling particularly good about things.  I think articulating through the blog of a couple of significant issues on my mind recently has, as is the case when we talk about things and journal, sorted through the mish-mash and the jumble a little.
So what am I feeling good about?
This is hard to isolate, [...]

There are a couple of things that have prompted me to write on this topic, all from random sources.  Today it was a sitcom that just came from nowhere and struck a chord by what was said – it was simple, “I want that.”.
And that in question is simply the companionship that comes with having [...]

Doubts are a difficult thing to embrace, but I’m going to throw it up against the wall anyway and see what sticks.
Since my decision to jack in my job, leave my place of residence of 6 years and the friends I had made, I have had several periods of almost crippling doubt and anxiety.  Some [...]

I originally began this post as a discussion between the differences of being ‘alone’ and being ‘lonely’, but after I reviewed the content, I figured I’d change tact a little.  So, I’ll go into describing a bit about my take on friendships and how I like to develop them.  It works for me, because that’s [...]

I’m going to make a certain amount of effort to blog more often, with a view to just sharing more instead of waiting for larger ‘moments‘ to occur before I go into another spiel – I used to do more like that.  So here is the first post based on that premise…
I started re-reading today, [...]

In my previous post, Part 1, I outlined the content of a seminar I attended a week or so ago that I found to be quite informative and gave me lots of food for thought.
I’ve had a chance to think much of it over, and while in general it all is cool and has opened [...]

It’s been a while since my last post, but I’m back!
I’m currently in Koh Samui, Thailand, undertaking another 7 day detox-fasting program. I left Japan just under a week ago and was passing through and figured I’d may as well.  I’m not sure of the scale of the benefit I’ll receive this time [...]
