Have you ever tried looking into your own eyes in the mirror and giving yourself a sincere compliment? How about trying this, look at yourself in the mirror and sincerely say, “I love you!”

Why You Need a Crisis to Change – Or Do You?

I was shocked when I read this line in a post yesterday, “Your brain isn’t just resistant to change; it’s lazy.” I thought about it a bit more and I realised, in a way, it is true.

You have an autopilot control in your brain that is well able to take you as safely as possible through life. It does this in response to the world around you and more important in alignment with the mental image you have developed of yourself and your life over your lifetime.
