Think of your triggers as a great wave, waterfall, tsunami coming your way. Your objective is to learn to recognise the trigger and consciously disarm it before it does it's worst and activates that unwelcome automated response and you're under.

All of us at our core have a strong compassionate instinct. A natural and automatic response that ensures our survival.

“Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.” Thomas Edison

Controlled indulgence is all about being able to have a bit of what you fancy, now and again, without it becoming a compulsive addiction you need to get you through your life.

Being confident is about being sure because if you are sure, you can never make a mistake. Being sure means taking your time, going at your own pace, being in control and never allowing others to undermine you or your thinking.

When I was young I grew up very poor so although I did not aspire for fame, money and power, I did strive for success in business. It was not until I had actually made my fortune and was able to move in VIP circles, I became attracted by celebrity and walking that red carpet myself.

Understanding much of what we do is triggered in our subconscious by unconscious patterns is the start of getting on top of ourselves and our behaviour.

Judging others is harmful behaviour. If we took the time to listen to someone's story, we would never judge them we would have empathy instead.

Meaning and purpose are the two things we have to discover when we look for enlightenment

We all live in denial to some extent. It's a lying mechanism that allows us to separate ourselves from our poor choices. "Who me?" "That's not me?" "I don't smoke, well only occasionally?" It takes time and dedication to get to a place where we can own all our choices and never justify them.

Living for the moment, in the moment is easier said than done and takes a lot of dedicated meditation practise to spend your day in complete self awareness, i.e. consciously in charge of your thoughts words and actions at any one time.

Are your Christmas traditions keeping you stuck and leaving you wondering what it's all for? Your type of Christmas is not compulsory so why not try something different this year?

Thinking in business is vital to get anything achieved but it is only when I began defining my core values and holding myself to a higher standard daily I began to understand the challenge of self mastery.

We are living in a world where people are obsessed with the act of projecting their own behaviour on to that of others. So why do we care so much about what others think of us?
