Recently I had someone ask me how they could better deal with people in their life who were being negative and critical. Been there, got the t shirt! Negative peeps are like crabs. If you go crab collecting with a bucket at the beach, once it’s full the crab at the top should be able to climb out ~ except it can’t, because all the other f@ckers below it keep dragging it down and ripping its legs off. Don’t let…
As we grow as individuals and get to know ourselves more, we become more aware of our values and what’s important to us in life.That includes how we want to be treated.But what does this really mean?It mostly comes down to our personal boundaries, which stem from our sense of self-worth.

On the face of it, a lack of self love isn’t always obvious. You might be…
So many of us feel tired and sluggish a lot of the time, and we get stuck in the trap of reaching for a quick energy fix using caffeine, sugar, carbs or booze – none of which help our energy levels in the long term. One of my friends the other day put a post up on FB asking for advice from friends on how to improve their energy levels so I thought I’d share my top tips on how…
