		<title>Retexturise your thinking: A way to soften your inner critic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You've probably noticed how often we use texture-based words to describe someone. For example: 'He/she is such a smooth talker', 'He/she is a real softy', 'What he/she said really grates on me'.
We wouldn't choose abrasive surfaces to rub against our skin and yet many of the thoughts we live with are just as abrasive. This is unfortunately too often true when it comes to our inner dialogue - negative beliefs about ourselves, our perceived faults or failings, all the stuff we give ourselves a hard time about.]]></description>

Your body is a finely-tuned sports car...

		<title>Chicken or Egg? Which comes first: Your physiology or your psychology?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From a change perspective, it doesn't really matter. Your physiology and your psychology are interlinked. If your physiology leads, your psychology follows. If your psychology leads, your physiology follows. And on it goes in a feedback cycle.

Why is this important?
Because we can change how we feel by changing our physiology through our posture, gestures, breathing etc. Our body communicates to our brain how to feel and this in turn directs our thinking. Rather than fighting to change how you feel 'head on' by disputing your thoughts rationally, taking a sideways approach is often easier and more effective. Changing the way we think and feel is a lot simpler than many of us realise.]]></description>

		<title>Are you taking on other people&#8217;s stuff?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you give much thought to your boundaries lately? If you find yourself taking on other people's "stuff" and you know you allow people to cross boundaries they shouldn't, then there are some pretty cool thinking strategies that can help you build yourself some more healthy boundaries.]]></description>

		<title>Watch your language</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Words carry tremendous power. And we often under-estimate just how much our words do affect other people. I regularly see clients who are still carrying around the unhelpful things parents have said (either unwittingly or knowingly).]]></description>
