How do we regulate our emotions (and not suppress them)
When we bury emotions, they do not go away. This is what I was musing on last time, inspired by the fabulous Disney Pixar Film Inside Out 2. Acknowledging, sitting with and accepting our emotions is really important. But – and this is the kicker – it can be uncomfortable at best and beyond deeply…
“We are suppressed emotions”
Emotions. There are a lot of them around at the moment, be they suppressed emotions or very out in the open. Last week, in Scotland, the school exam results came out.

The cost of courage
Where have you shown courage of late? And what has been the cost of courage for you? It takes courage to stand up for yourself or someone else in the face of opposition.

What could life coaching do for you?
If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you do? What is important to you about that? Imagine that you had just 20 seconds of insane courage (more on that here), and decided to take action – before fear, or negativity, or self-doubt kicked in – what would you do? These are questions that are…
And so it begins again
Hello and a very happy new year to you! How was your festive season? I hope that you and yours had some time to stop, enjoy space and simple things, rest and celebrate. I am sorry if the season was a tough one for you. I hope that in these coming days there is some…
Would it make a good tattoo? Labelling yourself
What are you labelling yourself with this week? And should you be labelling yourself thus? These are the final two cognitive distortions that we will look at in this current series of musings: Labelling yourself and “should” statements. What we label ourselves with is linked to how we view ourselves and how we talk to…
