“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.”
— Carl Jung

In this video, I go through the process and benefits of exploring your dark side, or shadow self, so that you are free to experience all of what it is to be you and embrace yourself with kindness.

It can be beneficial to evaluate our life and see how aligned we are with our needs and values. Just identifying what our values actually are can be an illuminating event! If you feel off track, unmotivated, lacking in mojo or unfulfilled, it’s likely you need to be in alignment with your core. Or more subtly, that maybe you are in some regions of our life but not in others, leading to a nagging doubt at the back of the mind.

In this video, I will help you identify your needs and values. Simple as that.

Do you really want to do something but can’t get down to it for whatever reason? I talk here about procrastination as an avoidance strategy and how to question the stories that underpin it to get more stuff done. If you’re ready to break free from chronic procrastination, this is just for you!

00:00 Introduction
01:07 Procrastination as an avoidance strategy

In the next twenty minutes or so, you can find out WHAT I’m rabbiting on about, WHY I’m rabbiting, HOW I’m planning to rabbit, and WHO I’m rabbiting for. It might put my words into context and maybe even make you feel warm and fuzzy.

I hope by the end of watching some of my videos, you’ll feel fabulous about being you. My philosophy is that we’re all working exceptionally well based on the stories, habits and fixed ideas running inside of our heads. I also work on the principle that all we are is changing and that, if we held the keys in the past to creating the perceptions we have today, we are equally empowered to create more helpful perceptions today for a fulfilling tomorrow. So my videos are all about questioning our reality, questioning who we are and what we think we’re capable of, how the world should treat us, whether any of it was ever our choice, and even if it were, is it still relevant to today. Lots to work on!

Who am I? When am I? Where am I? What are the stories running inside my head, where do they come from, and are they relevant? What is my identity? My personality? My ego? My fears and needs? This all comes down to the considered life. I mention it throughout many of my videos, so I thought it might help to devote one short video to a quick explanation.

It’s a philosophical question that has been asked by many people throughout history, and it’s still being asked today. By considering our lives and living consciously, we can connect more meaningfully with our experiences and live our lives with more purpose despite the uncertainty and flux surrounding us. This is a challenging concept, but I hope this video helps you see the importance of living a considered life.

In this video, I’ll be discussing the role that relationships play in our lives and how they can help or hinder our progress.

I hope that after watching this video, you’ll be able to understand why relationships are so important and how they can help or hinder our goals.

Relationships, especially intimate relationships, have the capability to trigger any element of our personal development that has not been integrated. They hold power over seemingly unrelated aspects of our lives, impacting our self-talk, capabilities, boundaries, self-respect and esteem. We make meaning from them that can impact our choices, actions and ultimately, most aspects of the lives we experience.

In this video, I talk about relationships and their impact on the issues that bring people to therapy. When people reach their limits, behind the presenting issue is often a relationship frustration that underpins it.

Unravelling The Role That Relationships Play In Our Lives & Our Goals.

How visualisation (vividly imagining a future you today) can bring about extraordinary results. It can harness the power of your willpower, bring it into alignment with your imagination (and also into your physical, postural reality) and deliver surprising success. But it all seems a bit woo-woo. So, here are my “feet on the ground “ thoughts as to what’s going on.

Becoming (or, more accurately, reinstating) the authentic you is the act, as Carl Rogers put it, of becoming a person. I love this definition; you become a person when you finally understand what it is to be you; when you can name it, feel it and own it.

We are all multi-faceted, complex organisms in a complex world, so intellectualising will never be sufficient. The truth lies in experience and so every word in this video is intended to associate you with your feelings, complexities and conundrums. Because that’s what it is to be human!

The video was made amongst the Wahweep Hoodoos near Big Water in Utah. So sorry about the flies on my face: it’s the middle of summer in the desert, but the background benefits even if I don’t! It’s an absolutely beautiful walk, by the way;)

Are you looking for inner peace? Serenity? Stress relief? Mindfulness? It’s all about accepting our experience, giving up on trying to battle the world to fight the system and embracing your part within it.

It’s not giving in or giving up. My definition of peace still has direction. It still has goals. But it’s less ego-centred, more in harmony with a world filled with awe-inspiring adventure. It’s funny, when you let go of your grip on your ego, you become a person. Go figure;)

How do you improve your life? How do you escape mediocrity & embrace change? Are you ready to decide what you truly want in life, take action and pay the fee? What does it take to drive your motivation?

It’s actually simple, and here’s how: 1: you decide; 2: you take action! But that decision can be tricky to make. Change can’t be forced: it comes when you are ready. If you’re ready to take the first step and choose how your life pans out, you must ask yourself some tough questions.

Let’s start with: Am I truly ready to make a choice? Am I prepared to accept that making decisions involves closing some doors whilst opening others? Decisions demand action even when others disagree and even when that might feel uncomfortable. When you aren’t sure where to go next, you need to trust yourself and your intuition, but to do that, you need an internal compass!

This is a quick video, but it covers a lot: considering the stories you are telling yourself; your worldview; getting comfortable with being outside your comfort zone; playing with possibility; and experiencing a different you.
