You are going to do something amazing

My name’s Neil Collingbourne, and I’m committed to helping addicts turn their lives around for good. Intoxication is essentially borrowing happiness from the future. My vision is not only for the client’s rehabilitation, but for them to achieve a full and positive life post-rehabilitation; such that they never again feel the need for intoxication. James Clear says “all change is an identity shift”, and thus I specialise in a transformative process known as identity shifting.

From an early age, I experienced low self-esteem, and when I started taking drugs at the age of 17, I gave my life over to partying and hedonism. I thought I was living, but actually I was dying, for as Tony Robbins famously says; “if you’re not growing, you’re dying”. Sure enough, I kept failing at the things that really mattered, until I turned it all around with the power of self-development. Just as our mindset is forged by our experiences, it can also be reforged, by way of my 5 step philosophy- positivity, discipline, service, ambition, and persistence.

In contrast to the traditional 12 step programme, my approach is effective at achieving lifelong transformation. My mission has been to help recovering addicts build an empowering sense of identity which will enable them demolish whatever obstacles life puts in front of them in the long-term. I founded Lifelong Positivity sure in the knowledge that if self development can help me find myself and kick my drug habit, it can help others too. Unless one fixes their unconscious mapping, they will be likely to repeat the same mistakes again. Negative self talk, procrastination, self-sabotage and limiting beliefs together conspire to prevent us from growing; thus keeping us in a spiral of frustration and dissatisfaction which causes us to seek refuge in intoxication. 

The 8 key areas of growth in one’s life are; Mind & Emotions | Contribution | Self-Cultivation | Spirituality | Fun, Family & Friends | Mission and Purpose | Health & Fitness | Money. If you focus too much on one of these areas while neglecting the others, the integrity of your life as a whole will be adversely affected. Once your identity has been shifted, I will then help you form positive habits in each of these 8 areas, whilst enabling you to annihilate your limiting beliefs and step outside of your comfort zone. Relating your problems and life experiences to me will allow me to help you reframe them in a manner that will best aid you on your path to rehabilitation by embracing change, and letting go of the old habits and thought patterns that were holding you back. 

Our values and habits have been shaped by our experiences, mostly during the first 7 years of our lives, and we typically cling on to these, unless we engage in some sort of radical mindset transformation- ideally with the help of a life coach. Values give us purpose, purpose gives us identity, and identity is the key to forging good habits. In my focussed one-on-one sessions, my aim is to help you take control of your life using my identity shifting solution.
