“YOU are never too old to change, or to learn new tricks!”

That is the message from Helen Dugdale from Australian Brain Coaching.

“A few years ago, people used to think that they were ‘set in their ways’, and that as you got older, you were even more set,” she said.

“Well, research has shown that we can change, we can learn new skills, you can teach an old dog new tricks.”

According to Helen, the science of neuroplasticity means that it is possible to re-wire your brain.

For example, Helen, through her brain coaching technique, says she was able to help a 92-year-old man reduce his anxiety so that he now sleeps through the night.

Recently I ran a series of 2 workshops for Bunnings . Topics included goal-setting and getting the best out of yourself and those around you. Looking forward to running follow up workshops in a few months to see how they implemented their new strategies! 
 

Recently, I was invited to speak at a lovely independent bookshop in Port Stephens - Readers Retreat at 9 George St Salamander Bay. Run by the warm and welcoming Alison Rogers.

There was a lovely group of ladies who attended, and asked very good questions about how to improve sleep and about the process of writing a non-fiction book.

I can highly recommend a visit to this fabulous bookshop, and Alison can provide delicious tea and coffee as well.

Alison can also order books in for you. www.readersretreat.com.au

Hello Shoal Bay

I can’t wait to launch ‘Put Insomnia to Sleep’ on 12 February at the Shoal Bay Country Club.

Mingle with a drink before enjoying a complimentary drink on arrival & canapes. I’ll be in conversation with novelist Rhys Gard about what inspired me to write the book, and some of the interesting facts I’ve learned about sleep along the way.

There’s been a lot of hard work and plenty of cups of coffee from the initial idea to a fully published book! I can’t wait to share it with everyone and to hopefully help people have a better night’s sleep.
