<3 How To Beat Writer's Block

The most common piece of advice for anyone suffering writer’s block is “just write”. Of course, this is an excellent suggestion, because what you need is to get your flair back. So “just write” is all very well & good, but sometimes we need more prompting, more pushing, something bolder. How can you “just write” when you feel bored, frustrated & uninspired? Here are my suggestions for getting the better of the thing all writers dread.

<3 iCiNG Transformation Challenge -- How'd You Do?

Well, for a lot of you, today is the last day of the iCiNG Transformation Challenge. Phew! It’s been an interesting month, huh?


<3 Weekly Resolutions

Yay, weekly resolutions! A bit of structure for my (currently) incredibly random life! I’m so excited about this, haha, what a nerd! I don’t know what time this is going live for those of you in Australia & NZ, but it’s 7am here… so I’m sorry if your usual iCiNG schedule is a bit out of whack!


<3 Observing Our Progress

I wanted to write a little bit about being observant, because often when we’re making big personal changes, it can be hard for us to see what an improvement it’s making to our quality of life. It’s all about being objective, & when it comes to something so personal & close, it’s tricky to assess it accurately.

This is the second official discussion area for the iCiNG Transformation Challenge!

<3 iCiNG Transformation Challenge -- Reminder!

For those of you who still aren’t sure how they’d like to participate, here are a few ideas.


<3 Weekly Resolutions

My resolutions for the week!


<3 iCiNG Transformation Challenge -- Announcement!

I wanted to let you all know about something I’m planning to kick off soon. It’s called the iCiNG Transformation Challenge, it will run for a month & it revolves around us taking control of our lives & our bodies in a concentrated way! It’s like weekly resolutions but amped up in a way that would make even Victoria Beckham exclaim, “MAJOR!”.


<3 Weekly Resolutions

This week my goal-setting tip is to phrase things in the positive.


<3 How To Increase Your Energy Levels

What can you do when you feel like an extra from Night of the Living Dead?


<3 Weekly Resolutions

If you really want to get something done, announcing your weekly resolutions in a public forum (like here!) is an excellent way to get things started. It gives you more impetus to finish it off — people know what you’re planning & they’re waiting to see it happen, which often gives us more motivation than if it was just us working alone.


<3 Weekly Resolutions

This week, I’d like to impose a limitation, if I may, which will make your week much more productive.

<3 What To Wear To A Job Interview

“I was turned down for a job yesterday, to my face the woman said “I would not possibly think of hiring you, you do not have the correct presentation for my office, you should really invest in a suit if you want to make it into the corporate world”. I wore a white shirt and black pants, I did not wear the suit jacket solely because I caught the train and it was 30 degrees. My Mum thought I looked good (that’s not very reliable though) and I loved the shoes and earrings I wore so I even did a daily outfit photo but then I was shot down by this woman.”


<3 Weekly Resolutions

How did you do? Here are my plans for the week…


<3 Being Happy Podcast

A podcast version of yesterday’s very popular article.


<3 Being Happy

What is happiness? It’s hard to say, but it’s not what many people think it is. Happiness doesn’t magically come to you with a new pair of shoes, a lean body, a bulging bank account or 5 hours of sex every day. Nor does it materialise after you retire, get married, have a child or quit your job. It’s a little bit more complicated than that.


<3 Weekly Resolutions

What’s stopping me (& you) from ticking off the items on your list?


<3 Weekly Resolutions

How did you do on yours? What would your weekly resolutions report card say? Would you give yourself an A+ or a C-?


<3 Weekly Resolutions

I started to ponder the concept of having weekly resolutions. I know that New Year’s resolutions can be quite daunting to a lot of people, which I’m sure isn’t helped by the fact that we are always expected to set great hulking goals for ourselves (like “Solve world hunger” & “Organise closet”). But if we could break down the time-frame, surely that would make it easier?


<3 EFT Tips & Tricks

I have had quite a few questions about EFT recently so I thought I’d address a bunch of them in one go.


<3 How To Set Amazing Goals

Why not start 2008 with a fleet of fantastic goals & driving ambitions? Here’s how to go about it.


<3 New Year's Resolution Ideas!

Okay, I know it can be hard to come up with worthy resolutions for the new year, so I thought I’d give you a bit of help.


<3 Motivation

“I have a question regarding motivation. You work from home with no one to appease except your fans. How do you find the motivation to continue writing daily? I am student and although I love my field of study, I sometimes think it would be easy to just watch television all day! I want to have the motivation that you obviously have. Please help if you can!”


<3 More EFT Information

Here are the things I’ve learned about EFT since I started. I use it every day, & have done so for over a year now, so I have a fairly good idea of what works & what doesn’t!


<3 EFT Questions

I’ve had quite a few questions about EFT recently, so I thought I’d give you all an opportunity to ask me whatever you like in the comments.


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Eight

Today we’re going to get rid of the stuff you’ve decided not to keep, & we’re also going to make some rules for the future. This will help keep you in control of your spending & your look!


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Seven

Okay my darling, it’s time to organise that closet!


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Six

Today I’d like you to investigate your shopping habits. As you’ve been going through all this stuff you own, you might have noticed patterns cropping up.


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Five

Today is all about finding inspiration & deciding on a new aesthetic direction — or, if you already have an idea of your aesthetic direction, refining it.


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Four

Your fourth task is to talk to someone else about your wardrobe & clothing choices. If you can, pick someone who knows you well, & whose style you respect or admire!


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Three


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day Two

Your mission for today is to wear that piece of clothing. You can style it up with whatever else you’ve got.


<3 Wardrobe Taming -- Day One

What’s stopping you from looking your best? When I say best, I mean drop-dead gorgeous. I mean, you could show up Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt on the red carpet. I mean feeling good in everything you own. So, what’s holding you back?


<3 EFT

EFT is a form of healing & therapy that you can use on yourself. Here I explain a bit about it & film myself doing it!


<3 Negative People

The supremely negative are obvious — they have a puckered-up mouth from years of scowling, they whine a lot, they complain, they are blind to anything good happening in the world, & they want to take you down with them. However, sometimes negative people are hard to spot, until you step back from the situation. They talk smack about everyone, including you, under the pretense of “being your friend” & “honesty”. “I’m only saying this because I care about you!” they protest, after sticking a carving knife in your back.


<3 Cleaning Out Your Wardrobe

I can’t tell you how much better I feel to have done a clean-out. I’m a Virgo, & organisation totally thrills me, but I doubt the joy of the exercise is only felt by 1/12th of the population.
