The internet was meant to be a useful resource and it is sometimes being used to spread hate. In my line of work, both as ex-teacher and now psychotherapist, you can read about my concern with how online behaviour is altering relationships offline here, but I help with mental health […]
Last weekend, I attended Gerry Robert’s ‘Publish a Book and Grow Rich’ (PABGR) boot camp at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Victoria. As you may know, I was so inspired when I went to his 3 day boot camp in October 2015 that I have not stopped telling everyone about […]
My last blog was about overcoming negative thought patterns. This time I will focus on ways that you can begin to cultivate habits for happiness. One thing is to think more positively because January is like an in-between month when Christmas is over, money might be tight and people can […]
The entire month of January is Mental Wellness month. What does it mean to be mentally well or mentally healthy, exactly? Being mentally healthy does not necessarily just mean that it is the absence of a mental health problem. Some people call that ‘well-being’ or being ‘emotionally well’ but it’s […]
How do you plan for your future? Realistically, I am still trying to balance my priorities in the goal setting process….but I am getting better. In this post, I’d like to share my transition from aimless to focused goal setting. For a long time, I drifted aimlessly day to day, […]

I went to Gerry Roberts book publishing bootcamp in September 2015. What you get is 2 days of FREE information about how to write a book from inception of an idea to having it published. Now, with all FREE courses, you know they are trying to sell you something but the […]
I’ve just come home from an amazing panel discussion organised by Enterprise Desk, entitled ‘Mindfulness in Business’. I was grateful to have been a guest on this panel because mindfulness and meditation are things I practice, feel comfortable with and want to see included on the school curriculum. Enterprise Desk […]
Happiness IS a choice and you can cultivate habits daily to help you become happy. It is my passion to help parents and their children to be able to develop these habits and for this reason I am delivering another Happiness Workshop lasting for five weeks. Nearly every parent I […]
Let’s face it, without our breath – we would be dead. It the power our breathing that keeps us alive – literally. We could even say it is a magical gateway to our creativity. Did you know, we breathe 25000 thousand times a day? Each person’s breathing pattern is very […]
The idea of death has always fascinated me and to quote T.S. Eliot’s words “The end is where we start from.” Death…whether it’s real or metaphorical, is an ending in one way or another, and with the ending there is a new beginning. I know it sounds a bit morbid […]
When I was working with a young child, he said “Whenever I smile, Mrs. Chudasama, others smile back…and it makes me happy and I feel warm inside my tummy.” Children come out with such profound truths, don’t they? This was a child that I was working with to feel empathy and learn coping strategies after surviving a […]
