Ho! Who forgot the bloody mistletoe? Relationships with parents, children, ex husbands, mothers-in-law etc. can be tricky at the best of times, but at this time of year when you are all flung together and expected to perform at your best; Christmas day is often a big disappointment … [Read more...]
Psyche Buzz is changing. Are you changing? Change is exhilarating, frustrating, freeing and threatening. Change is something that is often needed but resisted because it feels strange or uncomfortable and yet change is what life is all about. I was reading Susan Hayward’s book ‘Begin it Now’ and she asks the question “ Why haven’t you done what you came here to do?” And this question stayed with me for a long time, rolling around in my soul until I acted on it. Psyche Buzz … [Read more...]
Take a good hard look at your life. What are you unhappy about? Are you taking responsibility for your own life? Have you made bad choices? Do you know what they are? Is your gut throwing you sneaky butterfly feelings that something is not quite right? Or do you have a blind spot when it comes to certain things in your life? Are you ignoring the elephant in your lounge room? I am not in a position to talk. That was me recently. You probably saw my new business website that I set up. Well … [Read more...]
Many women secretly and not so secretly loved the way Julia Gillard stuck it to Tony Abbot last week. It would seem that women would love to stand up to the men in their lives like that, but the shame of it is that they do not have the guts. Julia Gillard, on the other hand, clearly does. I am impressed with the way she handled herself in this speech and throughout her term as prime minister. It can’t have been easy. She is self-reliant rather than dependent, active rather than passive … [Read more...]
What happens when your kids let you down? Are you setting your child up to fail? How is little Johnny? Is he well behaved at school? Does he always do his homework? Will he be captain of the footie team next term? Does he keep his room neat and tidy? Or maybe it is little Jessie? Is she the best little ballet dancer in the school? Does she just love to help you in the kitchen? Is she going to take after her mother and become a lawyer? And how about you? What sort of person are you? Are … [Read more...]
As a baby you were born with all the confidence in the world but as you grew your confidence was stolen from you. Many people appear to be confident. They put themselves out there, they smile and say all the right things and yet, believe it or not, inside they are not so confident. They do doubt themselves, they do have fears and anxieties, hell they even get depressed. And yet despite this they are trying to act confidently in their lives and grow their confidence. Be responsible for … [Read more...]
The best therapy you can give yourself is to accept yourself as you are. You are not the person you once were. Your personality is not set in stone. You are not set in stone. You can change.You are not the person you used to be. You have changed and you are still changing. From day to day your needs, wants and thoughts change. By recognising that you are ever evolving is liberating, you are not a rigid unchanging core of being, you are a kaleidoscope of humanity. Facing down … [Read more...]
We all need confidence to live in today's world. A feeling of confidence helps us live the life we want to live. So what happened to your confidence? Has it evaporated into cyber space completely or do you have moments when you do feel confident? Confidence comes from having a good self esteem. If you have low self esteem it can seriously interfere with your quality of life. Your self esteem begins to develop in childhood and is learned from the significant people in your life i.e. … [Read more...]
Do you think that you are the only person to stuff up your life? Life sucks much of the time, especially when you are young and lacking in life experience. When you are young, you are bold and brazen, ready to change the world and then what happens? You get hooked up on drugs for a quick buzz and that ends up with you in rehab. Or you catch an std and never want to have sex ever again ( maybe not quite). Or in the passion of a sexual encounter you thought grabbing a condom wasn't quite … [Read more...]
Remember that great line from Jesus Christ that went 'Love your neighbour as your self?' It's a great pity that many of us don't heed this advice a little more. The crux of the matter is that J.C. presumes that we love ourselves in the first place. It's a given. We are great as we are. He's not saying we should love others more than our selves but rather that we love our selves and others equally. Does that make sense? We lay a lot of trips on ourselves that we are bad or not good enough. … [Read more...]
I don't remember much of my childhood, not the happy times anyway. I guess there were happy times but I only seem to remember the bad times. Does this happen to you? When I was a little girl, say about three years old, I can remember sitting in deckchair that totally collapsed with my fingers caught between the canvas and the frame. The pain was the most pain a little girl could ever face. And my father scooped me up and sat me on the kitchen table and inspected the damage. I lost several … [Read more...]

Have you ever wanted to walk out of your life and begin another? Just start again in another body at another time? Become a whole new person? Well you can if you really want to. But first you have to change your self. And that my friend is not always easy. You have a life and it would be just too hard to change things now wouldn’t it?

Do you spend much of your time trying to be the perfect person, doing everything perfectly and expecting others to do everything perfectly as well? Perfectionism or 'the pressure to perform' begins in childhood with a desire to be loved. It is reinforced in our adult lives by our drive to attain self-definition through a performance that aims to please others and be accepted. I remember my critical father saying to me " If you can't do a job well, don't do it at all" But somewhere in my … [Read more...]
