When you find that you are putting something off – just not starting – and yet maybe feeling anxious about not starting, then it’s good to say NO to something clearly.
Rather than exist in a state of endless maybe, just say NO, I’m not going to do that, begin that, work on that.
Then, having freed [...]

Fear of failure? Really?
Posted in John the Coach on March 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Fear of failure is often given as the reason for not doing what we want to do. But what is it really about?
My own theory is that we fear failure because we already feel a failure, but that feeling has been long since denied and suppressed. The child who was told they were [...]
Inspire Yourself Today!

To really live true, you need to be inspired. Are you inspired? Would you like to be? Have a need to be?
A life without inspiration is a drudge. Discuss.
To inspire yourself, have a play and complete the following statement:
I want to be the kind if man/woman who… (delete [...]
Living Life en-Tranced
Posted in John the Coach on March 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s very easy for daily life to become a series of moving from one trance to another. When this happens, life is experienced like a blur. What happened? Where did the time go? Nothing done again! That kind of stuff.
One way through this is to be aware of what [...]
Using rules for self strengthening
Posted in John the Coach on March 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Rules are an excellent and simple way to contain ourselves if we feel that we are going off track. You can set yourself a rule for a period of time with the purpose of learning through keeping to it.
For example, you might set a rule to get out of bed before 9am. Or, [...]
Resistance – exercise
Posted in John the Coach on February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
If you find that you are resisting something, then it’s a good practice to simply make that known to yourself.
“I am resisting doing…”
This way, we can at least see what we are doing, and it doesn’t pass by in a dazy haze.
Create your reality – exercise.

Look at a situation, person, object – right now. Notice how you feel about that is based upon how you perceive that situation, person, object.
If there were 10 other people in the room, they would each have a different perception and therefore a different feeling.
That being that case, your own perception is not THE [...]
Starting the Day

How do you start the day?
You may not think it’s important, but if you can set your intent at the start of the day, this will have a tremendous effect of your focus and your energy levels.
Do this each and every day, and you will notice your intent getting stronger.
For example, you might say, “The [...]
Fear’s many faces
Posted in John the Coach on February 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Fear comes in many guises, and I find that it is easy to justify fear with the aim of escaping from a challenge.
For example, feeling the fear and recognising it, but telling myself, “Oh, I don’t really need to do that right now.” and putting off.
But often, this is simply fear of being exposed, one [...]
Needs not Forms
Posted in John the Coach on February 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When you begin to explore your purpose, look at what needs are being met by the things (forms) you love to do.
For example, if you draw, what does that feel like? If you write a great report, what needs does that meet? What did you do it for?
To put it another way, What [...]
