Get a Better Handle On Life Barry Winbolt

We all have a right to our opinions, and we tend ton think that our opinions are ’right’. But there is a clear distinction between a fact and an opinion, so beware of confusing the two, in both the giving and the receiving.

When it comes to helping someone in crisis, I often hear people saying something which includes the phrase “… but I’m not qualified.”
Since when did you need to be ‘qualified’ to extend a helping hand, listen patiently, sit with another person, support others, offer help….?

What if you looked in the mirror and saw a skeletal version of yourself staring back at you? Would you be proud of your emaciated figure, or would you break down in tears? For Michele Mason, this haunting question became a daily reality when Anorexia Nervosa stripped her 5'11" frame down to a mere 96 pounds.
Decades later, Michele realised the immense importance of sharing her story rather than burying it deep within herself. In a candid and courageous memoir, Michele dives into the harrowing depths of her Anorexia hell, recounting her journey from before the deadly illness took hold, through the long, grueling days of her ordeal, and finally to the triumphant moment when she emerged victorious as a healthy, happy survivor.
Her book, Annihilating Anorexia is a testimony to the strength and resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. Michele's story serves as a beacon of hope to those struggling with Anorexia, offering guidance, support, and a glimpse into the light at the end of the tunnel.

There are millions of square miles go self-help books, videos, podcasts, and the rest with advice on how to improve your life. I have read a few hundred, and lost count of the hours spent listening, viewing, and attending workshops.

I’ve learned a lot, and together with life experience – professional and private – I’ve come up with a simple formula that makes all the rest redundant: my Two-step Life Improvement Plan.

Is it worth five minutes of your time to learn how to stop an argument? Like most people, I learned the hard way how NOT to do it. But then, 30 years as a professional conflict resolver has taught me a thing or two about how to stop an argument, now I’m sharing it with you.

It’s all about attitude. If you believe you can do something, chances are you will. But if you think you can’t, you’re likely to prove yourself right. It’s about the power of positive thinking and how our mindset shapes our reality.
