How do you know when you’ve had enough? Some people have some early warning signs. They might: • feel grumpier than usual • feel like hiding • sigh. A lot. In the Shambhala teachings, this is sometimes referred to as “meeting your edge”. It’s that moment when you realise you’re reaching your limit, and that what …
Have things felt a bit complicated lately? There’s so much happening in the world at the moment, it would be easy to get swept up in the chaos of it all. When there’s a lot happening around you, you might feel like there’s a need to plough on and keep up. To make urgent decisions. …
Do you ever feel like people just don’t listen? Like you’re talking to a brick wall. That what you say falls on ‘deaf ears’. As if you’re talking another language. When we feel misunderstood it’s easy to raise our voice in anger. To shout out, have a knee-jerk reaction and say something we didn’t actually …
Do you ever feel like you can’t keep up? Like it’s all just moving a bit too fast. That other people are strides in front. That somehow you’ve fallen behind. Or fallen short. I often liken the pace of life to that of a treadmill. Before we know it we’re hurtling along, striving for perfection, …

Counselling, also known as talking therapy, can be helpful for people who want to find their mojo or get their sparkle back, perhaps after a difficult period in their lives. Counselling takes place in a safe and professional environment, and is usually in the format of a 1-1 session, either face to face or over …
Do you ever find you get stuck with the same routine? It happens easily, and it’s not always a bad thing. It’s good to know where we are, what we like and what we’re doing. But sometimes, we fall into a rut. We do the same things. We wear the same things. We eat the same things. …
What’s your relationship like with your mirror? I ask, because a lot of people don’t have a good relationship with theirs. You might spend as little time as possible in front of it, because to look in the mirror can feel like vanity. But it also might be because we don’t like the voice inside it; the one that …
