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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

When you watch mainstream news programs on TV, or read in the newspapers about all the terrible things going on, and [...]
Yes. Dieting sucks.
Anyone who knows me at all will know I like to be quite direct in what I say. I’m not hard nosed or obnoxious; I’m not an old fart that’s stuck in my ways… give me a new outlook on life or any subject, and present a decent rationalization and I’m sold. I’ll [...]
I had a discussion with a friend yesterday evening and while bucket loads of things came up, one thing said that stuck in my thoughts was the statement that “Introverts are not shy”. I was relaying briefly about the Life Coaching sessions I’ve been doing, and temperament sorters like Myers-Briggs. As I explained earlier, I [...]
