Autumn scenes

These are some photos I took last year in the beautiful Northumbrian countryside. For anyone who has been there, you will know that it is a place of extraordinary vistas, which stretch for miles. As the northern most county in England, it is also the least densely populated, which accounts for the views of undisturbed natural beauty. The trees in these photos made me think of Salvador Dali’s ‘Swans Reflecting Elephants’ when I saw the reflections in the water. Have a look below:

New Avenues

Hello and welcome to my journal.  I have been studying NLP for a while, and now I notice elements of NLP everywhere I go! NLP has been called ‘the study of human excellence’ (amongst many other labels it has attributed to it), and I thought this was a good way to share my ponderings with you. Even though there is such a wealth of information on this subject on the internet, I haven’t found a personal view of a student like me. I hope you will find some topics of interest here.

This journey really started back in 2006 when it was time to make changes in my life. After a period of stagnation it dawned on me that only I had the power to change the direction and quality of my life. Many of the issues I was struggling with, I wanted to deal with alone, although close friends and family were a constant support in the background. This realisation was the turning point. 

I am interested to know how other people have felt at similar points in their lives? How did they know when it was time to move on and change things? And why do others, who say they are unhappy, not change things?
