What If You Did? For people who’ve spent long enough saying “one day”. Goals, courage, ridiculous ideas and finding out what happens when you actually do the thing.

What if you did it before you felt ready?

Before you had complete confidence.

Before everyone understood.

Before you knew for certain that it would work.

We often imagine courage arrives first and action follows.

But perhaps it usually happens the other way around.

You make the phone call.

Submit the application.

Book the lesson.

Start the business.

Say what you really mean.

And somewhere in the doing, you discover that you were more capable than you believed.

You don’t need to see the whole path.

Sometimes, you just need enough courage for the next step.

What’s one thing you’ve been waiting to feel ready for?

Good morning.

This morning, I’m off to Pilates, something I started recently at the age of 56.

Apparently, there are muscles in my body that have spent the last five decades avoiding detection. Pilates has found every single one of them. 😳

I could have decided I was too old, too stiff or far too attached to being able to stand up without making noises

But there’s something rather brilliant about being a beginner again.

You don’t have to be good at something to begin. You don’t even have to be confident.

Sometimes, you just have to wonder…

What if you did?

What could you begin this week, whatever your age?

Well, Monday is nearly over.

How did it go?

Did you stride confidently towards the life you want

Or did you answer three emails, rearrange a drawer and decide that personal transformation would be more sensible after a good night’s sleep?

No judgement here.

Starting something new is difficult, especially when the sofa has spent all evening making such a persuasive counteroffer.

But the day isn’t quite finished.

You don’t need to launch the business, run five miles or write the first three chapters tonight.

You could send one message.

Write down the idea.

Put your trainers by the door.

Do one tiny thing that makes tomorrow’s excuse slightly harder to believe.

Go on.

Before the sofa notices you’ve moved.

You don’t have to make a life-changing decision this Monday.

That sounds exhausting, frankly.

You could just run an experiment.

Try the morning walk for one week.

Spend three evenings working on the idea.

Make the phone call.

Go to the class.

Write the first page.

Say no to the thing you keep resenting.

We often stay stuck because we think every decision has to be permanent.

It doesn’t.

You’re allowed to try something.

You’re allowed to discover it isn’t for you.

You’re even allowed to change your mind without convening a public inquiry.

A small experiment will teach you more than another month of wondering.

What could you test this week?

Be careful this morning.

Your sensible brain may attempt to renegotiate the plans you made when you were feeling brave.

It will remind you that you’re busy.

That other things are more important.

That you should probably do more research.

And that next Monday would, on reflection, be a much more suitable Monday.

It makes a compelling case.

It has graphs.

But underneath all those sensible reasons, there may still be a small voice saying:

“I really want to find out if I can do this.”

Perhaps you don’t need to win the argument today.

Perhaps you just need to take one action before your excuses finish their presentation.

Stop wondering whether you could.

Find out.

Good morning 😊

It’s Monday morning.

A fresh week, full of possibilities

and several extremely convincing reasons why now probably isn’t the right time.

You need a better plan.

More confidence.

A quieter week.

Possibly a sign from the universe, delivered in writing before lunchtime.

But what if feeling ready isn’t the thing that comes before you begin?

What if it comes afterwards, once you’ve taken the first slightly wobbly step and discovered you didn’t spontaneously combust?

You don’t have to change your entire life today.

Just do one small thing that the version of you who keeps saying “one day” would be proud of.

Stop waiting. Start finding out.

What could you begin before you feel ready?

Have a great day

Well… this is a bit awkward.

It’s been a very long time since I posted anything on this page.

Some of you probably followed me years ago because of my hypnotherapy work, and then I promptly disappeared into the Facebook wilderness.

So, firstly

Hello again.

And secondly, things are going to be a little different around here.

After more than 20 years working with people, I’ve become increasingly fascinated by something much bigger than hypnotherapy:

Why do we so often know what we want to do, but still don’t do it?

We wait until we feel confident.

We wait until we’ve got more time.

We wait until we’ve got enough money.

We wait until life settles down.

We wait until we feel ready.

And sometimes years quietly disappear while we’re waiting.

I’ve done plenty of this myself.

But I’ve also discovered that some of the best things I’ve done in my life have happened when I’ve thought:

“Sod it. Let’s find out.”

So this page is changing.

Welcome to…

WHAT IF YOU DID?

A place about goals, courage, change, personal growth and actually doing some of the things we keep telling ourselves we’ll do one day.

There’ll be experiments.

Challenges.

Ideas.

A bit of psychology.

Things I’ve learned from more than two decades of working with people’s minds.

Things I’m still learning myself.

Probably the occasional ridiculous idea.

And definitely no pretending I’ve got life completely figured out.

Because I haven’t.

In fact, I’m currently putting myself through a 90-day challenge with a goal big enough that I genuinely don’t know whether I can achieve it.

And that’s rather the point.

I’m becoming increasingly interested in what happens when instead of asking:

“What if I fail?”

we start asking:

“What if I did?”

So if you’ve been here since the old days, thank you for sticking around.

And if this sounds like your sort of thing, come along for the ride.

But I want to start the new page with a question.

If you had the next 90 days to do ONE thing you’ve been putting off, dreaming about or telling yourself you’ll do “one day”… what would it be?

Big, small, sensible or completely ridiculous.

Tell me below.

I have a feeling this could get interesting. 😈

Stop waiting. Start finding out.

And it's Monday again! Have you made a promise you're going to lose weight this week again?

Like last week and the week before 🙄

How about trying something different this week?

Hypnosis for weight loss works. Let's be honest, weight loss really is a mind thing and not a belly thing.

Give me a call 📞 07535 129407 and I ll work with you to shift those pounds

To lose weight you often need to control your emotional eating.

Hypnotherapy is amazing doing this. Just imagine no more binge eating

20/02/2024

The hypno gastric band works by programming your mind to tell you that your fuller quicker.

This means you eat less, reducing your calories intake thus helping you to lose weight.

It works!
