I was flicking through a health magazine last week while I waited to go in for an appointment and came across an inspiring article. The focus for the piece was the ‘work more, buy more’ modern life style and how an increasing number of people are consciously moving away from this way of living. The shift in thinking stems from a realization that more ‘things’; latest entertainment systems, phones etc don’t always provide more happiness and having to work so hard to earn the necessary money to buy these is very stressful.
It’s something I can identify with after the TV blew up a while ago and I started looking into buying a new one. When I thought about it seriously I realized I hardly ever used it and what I really would value, enjoy and benefit from was an extra weeks holiday this year. It’s made me think of the importance of standing back in situations and asking myself ‘What do I really want here?’
I’ve been interested in personal development ever since the age of eleven when I first came across Norman Vincent Peale’s book ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’, which had been misfiled in the children’s section of the local library. I was fascinated by the stories of people who had achieved important goals through visualization.
Today I work as an NLP Therapist, seeing clients in private practice and also deliver a range of personal development courses, specializing in self esteem and confidence building, which I believe is fundamental to success in any sphere of life.
