There must also be some agreement in the relationship from that time forth of mutual respect for each other’s feelings and boundaries and to have an honest relationship. This needs to be a commitment from both sides for it to work and becomes an ongoing process in your relationship. Some of the things that need to be said may in a sense be hurtful but it is better to clear the air than sweep it aside for it to fester again at another time.

There’s been a whole lot of talk in recent years about how sugar’s not great for you. It’s such a big field of discussion that we’ve included a special report about sugar and its impact on health in our recent issue, #146. I won’t go into detail on the bitter truth about the sweet stuff. […]

Many people that have productive lives filled with happiness have a sense of optimism despite the number of times they seem to have failure in their life. They tend to treat failure as a way of learning or changing their perspective to perhaps handle the same issue in a different way or to move on. That learning often brings with it an attitude of gratitude, appreciation and value for what they already have. People with an optimistic attitude often find their happiness by looking at the positives they can be grateful for instead of continually complaining about what they do not have, and that often also brings a relinquishing of the past.

Many of us seem to lack the tools to create happiness in our lives. We fall into patterns and repeat again and again the same things that did not work the first time yet we expect different results. The reason we do this is because change is difficult but to have happiness in our lives, if we don’t have it now, then we must change. We can talk about changing the world but that is not in our control. Changing ourselves to have a life filled with happiness is however in our control, because that depends on our perspective and changing our habits.

It seems pretty simple: that which you value the most should be the top of your priority list. It should be number one in your schedule, and come first above all else. Makes sense. So why is it so difficult to put into practice? Take the little exercise I was asked to undertake yesterday: write […]

Psoriasis is a metabolic disease meaning it affects the whole body and the body is saturated with toxins. To eliminate toxins they must be expelled by the liver, filtered by the kidneys and leave the body either by the skin, urine or bowel. They can also be reduced by exercising which causes the body to perspire and by breathing deeply in fresh air. In the case of the psoriasis sufferer the body is that toxic that the skin becomes deeply affected and itchy leading to the psoriasis in the long term.

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”  Dalai Lama We are human, and we love.  Love creates so much joy, and yet it seems to inspire so much pain in our lives. How can we learn to love and to make wise choices about our relationships? How can we learn […]

It’s almost the end of July, and with the end of the month comes the end of another challenge: Plastic-Free July, which asks people to avoid all single-use plastics for 31 days. Why? Every piece of plastic you use, if it hasn’t been recycled or produced via a new environmentally conscious technology, chips away at […]

I want to live my life With the ease and perfection and power Of a wave travelling along itself As it breaks into foam. The weakening habit of doubting ourselves can take many forms. It might be a constant feeling that somehow we have failed, even in the middle of success, and we can feel […]

Are you that person that sits at the computer munching away at the chips and lollies because you are hungry? The truth is you are not really hungry at all. The truth is that you have a poor digestive system or are addicted to sugar or salt or have hormones and chemicals not working properly in your body and that gives the message to your brain that you are hungry.

Love is letting go of fear  One of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received in my own journey of self-transformation came at a time when I was really struggling with a great darkness. I was beginning to lose hope that I would ever find a way out of this living nightmare. I visited the house […]
