The New me…!
If you ask my kids, They will tell you this. They say things like, “Yesterday dad did that.” Or, “You normally react like this.” And my answer is always the same; - That was the old me. - The new me is born anew. The new me is more positive. The new me is focused. The new me is going to smash today. Here is the truth most people ignore. Every morning you wake up with a choice. You either: → Replay yesterday → Run the same programme → Live another Groundhog Day Or you choose to: → Reprogramme → Refocus → Re-energise You bring a new you to the party. A new you to the business. A new you to the day. Some people call this spiritual or psychological nonsense. But science is catching up fast; Vibration. Frequency. Energy. What we say, Out loud or in our head, Controls outcomes. As surely as electricity flows between two points, Your thoughts connect to results. Wake up saying: “I’m tired.” “It’s miserable.” “I hate my job.” “Clients won’t pay.” And guess what you create. But even if you think all that is bollocks, Answer this honestly. Is it better to show up as: → Positive → Energised → Focused Or as the: → Pity party → Problem-focused → Pathetic version of yourself Every morning, You choose the programme. Old you. Or new you. Which one are you playing today?

Control Is The Great Illusion
We spend so much time trying to control our life. Trying to control the people in it. Trying to control the systems around us. Yet it is that very control that blinds us. It closes our mind to opportunity. It makes us miss the pivot. The evolution. The small adjustment that changes everything. And do not confuse a pivot with a distraction. They are not the same. A pivot is alignment. A distraction is avoidance. Sometimes we cling on so tight, push so hard, that we lose the ability to flow. We fight when we should flex. We dig in when a simple redirection would have freed us. I see this all the time. People so focused on the original route that they stay stuck at a roadblock. Oblivious that a clear diversion sits right beside them, waiting to guide them forward. This is why I teach stop, breathe, think. When you feel like nothing is moving, that may be the moment to pause. Just like a traffic light. The red signal is not punishment. It is protection. It is unsafe to move right now. But the pause is temporary. The green light always returns. To see it, you must step back. Rise up. Stop, breathe, think. Only then do the alternative paths reveal themselves. This is also why I say: Put your goals in concrete. Put your plans in sand. Your destination is fixed. Your commitment is absolute. Your arrival time matters. But any seasoned traveller builds in extra time. What-if time. Space for the unexpected. When you allow no time, no flex, no realism, the slightest roadblock creates frustration and missed deadlines. Not because the goal was impossible. But because the plan was too rigid. Most people fail not through lack of desire, but through lack of adaptability. They do not know how to go with the flow. They refuse to take perspective. They forget to stop, breathe, think. Control is the great illusion. Awareness is the real power. Want to explore how to build goals in concrete yet plans in sand so you can flow rather than fight Send me a message.

This is a huge learning curve for me l realise l must be delusional to think that I’m in control. Yesterday l was informed l cannot access the church building for the remaining month because a new church is moving into the building causing disruption and not a suitable environment for the work that l do. I totally understand but had a slight panic but did what l needed to do and reschedule my clients to January to then be told I cannot resume until mid January. Yup, stop, breathe and think. I often hear myself say, ‘pause, take a breath and do nothing.’ I agree saying ‘think’ is better rather than saying ‘do nothing’ meaning take no action but reflect. To read, ‘It is unsafe to move right now the pause is temporary’ has proved very helpful. The green light always returns, step back and rise up, love this. I’m learning to go with the flow and seeing this as a pivot. Again, timely warning.
Your Subconscious Is Driving Your Life. Are You Even Holding the Map
The subconscious mind Is far more powerful than most people realise. Most of us think we are steering our own lives. Yet psychology shows that the conscious mind contributes only a tiny fraction of our outcomes. Dr Joseph Murphy believed the subconscious shapes up to 95 percent of our future. Not through magic. Through repetition, emotion, identity and expectation. I call this the creative subconscious. The taxi driver that never argues. The driver who takes you wherever you tell him to go. The problem. He accepts every instruction without question. If you tell him I always get stressed I never have enough time I am terrible at selling I always mess things up He takes you there. If you tell him I can solve this I can grow I can change I can build the life I want He takes you there as well. Murphy put it simply. The subconscious does not reason. It only obeys. Or in his words “You are the captain of your soul because you have the power to choose.” This is why your internal script matters more than any strategy. Your beliefs write your future. Your thoughts set the destination. Your actions follow the map your subconscious drew months ago. So here is the challenge for today. Speak to your subconscious with intention. Give your taxi driver a clear address. Choose the destination you actually want. Repeat it until it becomes real inside you. Then act like it is already happening. Because once the subconscious accepts an idea It works day and night to turn it into fact. Where do you want your driver to take you next?

Reading this reminds me of the imposter syndrome a persistent feeling of self-doubt, the struggle to internalise success, a constant fear being exposed as a fake despite evidence of competence. It's a psychological experience, leading to anxiety, burnout, difficulty owning accomplishments, perfectionism, overworking, procrastination, downplaying compliments and achievements. But I’m attending anyway looking forward to meeting you all on Thursday the 8th of January.
A beautiful love story...
Or a death-by-a-thousand-self-criticisms? It all depends on one thing The relationship you have with yourself Neville Goddard taught that your outer world is nothing more than a mirror of your inner state Everything you experience Every relationship Every success Every failure Reflects the way you see yourself If you love yourself Life opens Opportunities flow People respond differently And you walk with a quiet certainty that cannot be faked If you do not love yourself You carry that wound into every conversation Every partnership Every attempt at success You treat people through the lens of your fear Your doubt Your self judgement And the story becomes tragic, not beautiful Self love is not indulgence It is not ego It is structural It is the foundation on which all confidence and all achievement is built When your cup overflows with self love You stop begging for approval You stop needing validation You stop fearing judgement And you start acting with clarity Conviction And calm Self love leads to self trust Self trust leads to self confidence Self confidence leads to success If you do not love yourself You must learn how You must move differently You must decide that your internal relationship matters more than external noise Here are a few simple places to start One Speak to yourself as you would to someone you deeply care about No one ever shames themselves into greatness Replace self attack with self support This alone changes your posture, tone and energy Two Keep one promise to yourself every day Just one Five minutes of reflection A ten minute walk A glass of water A single boundary When you keep small promises, you build self trust And self trust becomes confidence Three Rewrite the story Neville Goddard taught the power of assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled Imagine the version of you who is whole, capable and grounded Act from that state Not from the echo of past wounds Your life will rise or fall on the relationship you have with yourself

Timely, thank you.
Are you a house cat?
When the door opens will you walk through it Most people think they are stuck. But they are not stuck. They are simply house cats who have never seen the outside world. A house cat is not weak. It is not incapable. It just believes its four walls are the whole universe. And when the door finally opens, it panics. Not because the world is dangerous, but because it is unfamiliar. This is how most adults were raised. Emotional cages. Survival focused systems. Taught to stay safe, avoid risk, keep within the walls they know. Prepared for survival, not expansion. So when life offers something bigger, they freeze. Not because they do not want growth, but because they have never been shown how to see beyond their current reality. Joseph Campbell once said, The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. And he was right. The fear is rarely about danger. It is about unfamiliarity. Wayne Dyer put it another way, If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Your world expands the moment your perspective expands. Because your current reality is not the whole world. It is just the room you grew up in. There is more outside. More opportunity. More potential. And it only looks scary because it is new. So the real question is simple. Are you a house cat or a wild cat? Are you clinging to the comfort of your four walls, or are you ready to explore the territory that was always meant to be yours? Are you living small because it feels safe, or expanding because that is who you truly are? Your soul was never designed for confinement. It was built for discovery. It was built for depth, adventure, and possibility. It was built to roam. Earl Nightingale said, Most people tiptoe through life hoping to make it safely to death. Do not let that be your story. Open the door. Step into the unknown. Get comfortable with the discomfort. There is more of you waiting on the other side.

Sounds familiar in all honesty I think I’ve lived in confinement the majority of life. Be comfortable with the discomfort is something l often say to clients while encouraging a different perspective that being from the other side. Thought provoking as always, a daily dose of encouragement with a pinch of MOVE! Thank you, Mike
