You may find your motivation waning. For example, perhaps you told yourself that you would reward yourself with a slice of cake when you completed a task. But now, you don’t care. You’re going to have that slice of cake, regardless. But you also know it’s important to push through this tricky patch and keep going. What can you do to stay motivated?

As we discussed in last month’s newsletter, there are two forms of motivation: extrinsic and intrinsic. Outside rewards such as a slice of cake are extrinsic forms of motivation. While these are much easier to set-up and use, their effectiveness is...

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 memory, write it all d...

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

"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.

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.

Let’s start by defining...

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.

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.

Recalling past moments of joy can be ...
