#Mondaymotivation: Stop being motivated!

#mondaymotivation : Do you need a ‘dare-to-do-it-Doula’?

Have you ever wondered why it’s difficult to sustain motivation for long?

When I trained with the Institute of Education UCL all training was founded on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (it’s a shame consecutive UK governments haven’t understood this basic concept) and we focussed the notion of ‘student centred learning’ as encouraging the ‘intrinsic motivations’ of students. We are well into the 21st Century now and it’s time to move into a more progressive pedagogy.

So, why is it difficult for young people & adults alike to sustain motivation for long?

Because ‘motivation’ is nothing more than “the avoidance of unwanted circumstances”

…and once you understand that, you will understand that the story you have perpetuated in your mind ( the narrative told to you by others) i.e. that life is hard and if you want to achieve success it has to be a struggle, is simply not true. You may or may not be, or have been, successful at ‘earning’ money, material wealth, consuming and hoarding more and more things. Yet you do not feel successful, you feel exhausted, depleted of energy, depressed and even in pain.

Let’s unwrap that

What we used to call extrinsic motivation i.e. ‘motivators’ defined by someone outside ourselves, e.g. the government telling you to follow their educational curriculum is a control mechanism, with a very heavy stick ( if your parents don’t get you to school they face fines and imprisonment). This example of extrinsic motivation (motivators outside of yourself) is most definitely “the avoidance of an unwanted circumstances”.

But what we call intrinsic motivators are also very heavily sited in the dense world of ‘carrot and stick’, ‘reward and punishment’. In the adult world motivators such as ‘fear of poverty’ is a great thought to keep us going… striving for more and more money. But whether we are successful in achieving that, or not, we do not feel successful because the ‘motivator’ was not an inspirational goal (unless we really were ‘following our bliss’) but “an avoidance of unwanted circumstances”


In 2025 I’m moving on from content based around the hashtag #MondayMotivation because we are moving into a transformational paradigm encouraging us to manifest in calm stillness, stand in our bliss, be inspired to develop ourselves by shifting our focus  everyday away from the “avoidance of unwanted circumstances” into inspired realisation.

I will keep you accountable on your journey away from  your struggle to master the art of manifestation into a state of being where, through a path of self  developement, a journey of self discovery if you will, you will feel fulfilled by being enabled to truly live, live as the creator of your own life.

Do you need a dare-to-do-it-doula?


Remember: life is an experiential journey. It is meant to be enjoyed.
Remember: you are a divine spirit experiencing your human life.
Remember: you are the creator of your life!


By the way: 

for everyone in the UK who voted ‘Brexit’ on the notion of ‘reclaiming your sovereignty’. Closing your borders is not the definition of sovereignty.
The real definition of sovereignty lies in truly understanding that you are the creator of your own life!

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (PT 1)

A brief history of  healing through the Human Energy Field You understand that when someone is angry in your presence you are ‘seeing red’? So are they. If you de-focus your eyes you may also see red sparks firing off them toward you. If you look closely at their outline (where their physical body/skin meets the air, you may be able to perceive a tgrey fluid like slow, or stuck, energy underneath the red haze. This shows you an area of their energy field where deep emotional sadness, loss or trauma became stuck in their energy field, possibly even causing physical, as well as mental, psychological, harm.  Trained Spiritual’ healers use this higher sense perception, and connection to source’ to channel universal energy and. heal your energy fields (the energy matrix that activates life source around and within your body). And this release, in turn allows your body to re-map, re-vert, recover & restore health within your body.  In the 1990s, I trained with the National ...

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (Pt-3)

  An ‘holistic’ approach to health requires a complete re-wiring of your world view. 1905 Albert Einstein publishes his ‘Special Theory of Relativity… … shattering the concept of a Newtonian world view:  Space is not three dimensional and time is not separate from form ‘entity’. Connected they form a 4 dimensional continuum ‘space-time’. There is no universal flow of time: time is not linear nor absolute. Time is relative; space-time is relative. Form ‘entity’ is therefore also relative. Using terms such as ‘time’ and ‘space’ are just useful words to help us conceptualise ‘space-time’ and how universal energy fields relate to each other. Three dimension ‘space’ is a paradoxical paradigm  two different observers can observe the same event in reverse time i.e. the same event being ‘witnessed’ from a different position can be perceived by each observer as happening in the  relative past or relative future Linear ‘cause then effect’ is a Newtonian concept. Currently most...

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (Pt-2)

We have all experienced ‘knowing’ that someone close (e.g. a parent, child, or lover) is about to call just as we are thinking about them or looking at our phone. Have you ever wondered how this psychic’ phenomenon, your intuitive ‘sixth sense’, actually works? Our life, and the entire universe is created from interactive fields of electromagnetic light energy Less than 100 years after the establishment of Newtonian physics as the framework for scientific ‘thinking’, new physical phenomenon was discovered. But it didn’t fit into this established framework and was predominantly ignored by scientists within this establishment.  Michael Faraday (1791-1867), experimental physicist: Observed  that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a nearby wire i.e he ‘discovered’  electromagnetic induction. Introduced  the concept of "lines of force" to visualize and understand the electromagnetic field i.e field theory Made significant contributions to our unde...
