This is the time of year that students are getting their results from exams and they're at a crossroads. But many people might be at a crossroads so my podcast today is not just for students but for everyone who may find themselves not sure what to do next - so here are some tips on how to move forward and take the next step forward.
Just remember no matter the decision, there are no right or wrong answers. If the path you take does not work out as planned treat it as a learning curve. Get out of your comfort zone, you never know where it will lead. Any path you take may lead you to brighter places, and open doors that you perhaps never imagined existed. Listen to my tips and what important questions you have to ask yourself.
Remember you only get one life and it is your life to live the way you choose. Enjoy the journey. Remember to smile and laugh they cost you nothing. Virtual hugs to you all

Here are 5 tips on how to stop beating yourself up – sometimes also called self-bullying.
It’s great to have goals. Yes you need to have things in life you want to achieve. But you don’t have to constantly seek perfection in everything and then beat yourself up for everything not being perfect or making mistake or not achieving your goals when you wanted.
It’s ok to critique yourself and learn from mistakes because this helps you to be more self-aware and find new ways to improve.
However, if you constantly beat yourself up, criticise yourself then instead of helping you reach your goals it erodes your confidence and your peace of mind.
Take a moment to think about some questions.....

Be more like water – be flexible, uncompromising and persistent in overcoming challenges and obstacles just like water finds its way. You might be wondering what water has to do with exploring your emotions but life is ever-changing like water. Bottling up your emotions, usually due to past conditioning, impacts negatively on your health. Take time to confront, embrace, and understand your feelings, let them flow smoothly rather than bottling them up. You and only you are in control of your emotions – they are not in control of you. Remember changes are a natural part of life. Learn to accept change. Use your journal to write down your feelings.

This is the second of two episodes on controlling relationships. Before you take action you need to recognise if you are in a controlling relationship so I recommend you listen to the first episode 40A. Once you know the signs you can take action. Every situation is different but I know from experience that controlling behaviour, whether it's emotional, mental or psychological is abuse. Everyone accepts that physical violence is abusive but the 'unseen' emotional and mental manipulation is destructive abuse. Many people experience emotional, mental and psychological manipulation and have suffered for many years until it seems the norm. It is not, it is abuse and you need to take action. I hope these tips help you make a decision. I wish you well on your journey of taking back control of your own life. I know from experience and although life was challenging, taking back control brought peace, calm and happier times. My MindCircles ABC helped me improve my confidence and self-esteem. Please practice them regularly so that they become your friend on the shoulder. Virtual hugs to you x

Gaslighting is a pattern of psychological abuse. It is subtle manipulation, so subtle that you might not recognise it as abuse, but abuse it is! It can be by an individual or group, by a partner, friend, family member or work colleague. It causes you to question yourself, doubt yourself, your memories, your perception of reality, even your sanity, leaving you anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated and even afraid.
It impacts negatively on your overall life and relationships so it is important to recognise it and be able to handle it. In this podcast I help you to understand this manipulative, abusive psychological behaviour. I also give you tips and strategies for dealing with it.
As always thank you for listening.
