How long has it been since your mind felt serene? If it’s been a while, then this blog post is for you. We're used to decluttering physical spaces, but we don't often talk about this in terms of our brains. But decluttering your mind will help you achieve more and improve your mental wellbeing. Here are five tips on how you can do precisely that.

1. Write Things Down 

We can spend all day distracted from what we're supposed to be focusing on because so many other things pop into our heads. This clutter slows our brains. Rather than trying to hold everything in your...

Some things that clutter up our minds can be easy to spot. For example, we often know that we’re trying to hold too much information in our minds, yet we still do it. However, there are a few things that are not so easy to recognise. Not only do they clutter our minds, but they also put an enormous obstacle in our path. Today, we’re sharing three sneaky obstacles that may have slipped into your life unnoticed.

1. So-called Friends

Just because someone is your friend doesn’t mean that they are a real one. It’s a sad fact of life that sometimes those we are...

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.”   

Henry Ford

Most people will have heard this quote at some point. What you believe can determine your success levels. But what do you do if you realise you don’t have much belief or faith in your abilities to achieve the goals you’ve set out for 2022? Do you just give up? Of course not. But you will need to develop your self-belief if you want to achieve them. That’s why in this blog post, we’re sharing with you, three ways in which your can develop faith and...

The Key To Success?

You’ve set out your goals for the year. You’ve even created a roadmap of how you intend to get there. What else can you do to give yourself the best chance of success?

In this month’s newsletter, we looked at a range of successful people from Oprah Winfrey to Jim Carrey. What they all had in common was belief in themselves and faith that they would achieve their goals. Sure, you could put this down to just being coincidence. But the truth is, they really do play a role in how successful you are. In this post, we explain why that is.

It's not the goal you set that matters, but what you do with it! In our last blog post, we discussed how just setting goals was not enough. To achieve them, you need to do some planning. But that's not the only way you can increase your chances of achieving your goals. Today, we're discussing three other things you can do to bring those goals within your reach during 2022.

1. Fear-Setting from Tim Ferriss

The first of these comes from Tim Ferriss, entrepreneur and author of the famous 4-Hour Workweek book. When talking about goals, he instead uses the term...

After the last couple of years, no one could blame us if we gave up on the idea of setting goals. This is particularly so with uncertainty still in the air and plans constantly shifting as people have to isolate. But despite this, we cannot ignore the benefits that goal setting can bring us. Goals give us focus, making it easier for us to see where to place our attention and what we need to do going forward. So, regardless of the amount of uncertainty in our lives, goals help us achieve more. We just need to give a little thought to how we choose and set them. And that’s what...

How can reflecting on the past year help you to move forward? In our last blog post, we gave you 21 questions that allowed you to reflect on the past year. But what then? How can you avoid dwelling on what’s not gone well? How can you use these reflections to improve 2022? That’s what we’re covering today.

You may have noticed that many of the questions also asked you to consider ‘why’. For example, why you’ve enjoyed a particular activity or why something didn’t go well in your professional life. This is where reflection can be one of the...

How can 2021 help you to improve your life for 2022? Reflecting objectively on the year that has passed is one of the best ways to make adjustments going forward that will ensure 2022 is greater. In this month's newsletter, we discussed the power of reflection, and in this blog post, we're helping you to do just that with our bumper guide to questions that will help you reflect on the past year. Without further ado, let’s get going!

Family & Friends

Social interaction is essential to human beings. It's why the lockdowns were such a struggle for many. Below you’ll...

How can you experience more moments of joy in your life? In our last blog post, we cast our minds back to recognise the times in which we had experienced great happiness over the past year. But now, it’s time to do a little forward planning. When we’re more conscious about creating joy, we have more perspective about our lives. Rather than dwelling on things that have gone wrong, we can recall the joyous moments in our lives, too. But how can you bring more of it into your life? Here are three ways to help you begin...

1. Pause and Observe

Many people are put off by the...

We're willing to bet that you've experienced more moments of joy throughout 2021 than you initially thought. It is human nature for the adverse events to stick in our minds more when we think back over the past year. And, if we’re not careful, these can begin to dominate our thoughts, leaving us feeling like we’ve had a terrible year. When this happens, we often find ourselves hoping and praying that next year will be better. But today, we want to encourage you to find the moments of joy that did exist so that you can think more positively about 2021.
