Looking to start a fulfilling career in hypnotherapy? Look no further than The Quest Institute, where we are now enrolling for annual Cognitive Hypnotherapy courses in London, July 2024. Hypnotherapy has become increasingly popular as a form of therapy, offering individuals a unique and effective way to enhance their lives. And with London being the […]
Keep going
I press play on the CD player and the opening bars of Madonna’s ‘Holiday’ suddenly filled the car. Instantly my two sons, Mark, 7, and Stuart, 5 burst into excited song. I sing along too. It’s 1991, we’re on our way to Majorca, and I’ve never felt so lost and alone. I was a year […]
We’re an Institute. For real!
How many of you knew that the word ‘Institute’ is protected by law, in that you are only allowed to use it with the permission of the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills? I’m guessing not a lot of people within the world of Hypnotherapy, and we were among the ignorant. Until we […]
Michael Mosley shows us that pessimism is a choice
Michael Mosley is one of the most useful makers of documentaries. His one on weight loss made the health benefits of fasting twice a week so compelling that Bex and I have adopted it since January. With a strong family history of diabetes it made sense, and I found that combining it with listening to […]
Sofa so good.
“You’ve spilt yoghurt down your tie” said Bex, with not as much disbelief in her voice as I’d have liked. “No I haven’t” I said, without even looking down. That kind of denial didn’t even work when I was 6, but I still seemed to cling to the hope that wishing it untrue would make […]
Be precise about what you wish for
It was a surreal sight to see my name featuring beside Stephen Fry last week, because while I believe that we create the future we expect, I mainly mean that in terms of the state our thoughts of the future put us in, which then tends to cause us to behave in particular ways when […]
An unlikely day
I love days that aren’t likely to happen, that have you stepping out of the normal shape of your life and for a while live in another one. Last Wednesday was a prime example; I went on the Steve Wright show. Now I’ve been listening to Steve for over 30 years. I remember having his […]
Not another goal-setting blog!
I’ve been a fan of goal-setting for a very long time, so it was interesting to read last week that an Essex job centre had boosted by 20% the number of jobseekers finding employment. They did so merely by making some changes to their procedures at the suggestion of a government team called the’ nudge […]
You feed what you focus on
Last night Bex and I were settling down for the evening when a courier arrived with a delivery – obviously working hard to keep up with the festive demand. We had a few items pending so didn’t think much of it until I saw the writing on the side of the box: Hodder. My heart […]
Following your nose
We live on the edge of Thetford forest, an ancient area once the home – and rumoured to be the site of the grave of – Boudicca. And on a misty autumn day it can be easy to imagine hordes of Celts emerging from the trees. Luckily, I count them as my home boys – […]
