About me

 

From an early age, I lacked a stable and empowering sense of identity, and over time my unconscious mind kept pulling me off course. I turned to powerful psychoactive drugs, including mephedrone and 4-acetoxy DMT, and eventually spent three weeks in a psychiatric ward. I had reached a point where going any lower meant not surviving, and that realisation forced me to turn my life around.

Conventional rehabilitation strategies didn’t work because my unconscious mind was continually trying to bring my actions into alignment with my deeply flawed identity, for as Tony Robbins said; “The strongest force in the human personality is the need to remain consistent with how we define ourselves”.

I decided to become the sort of person least likely to take drugs, by creating an empowering ‘future identity.’ I’ve charted a course for lifelong rehabilitation, and my mission is to share that roadmap with as many people as possible.

Tony Robbins says “if you change your story, you change your life.” I achieved rehabilitation by crafting stories which turned my shoulds into musts. These enabled me to associate success with extreme pleasure, and failure with extreme pain- a highly motivational technique Robbins refers to as ‘leverage’.

Coaching with a purpose

 

By crafting an empowering story and identity for my life, I turned it around. The fundamental forces that drive our behaviour are based on the core values and beliefs that we hold on the unconscious level, and all of history’s most successful people were driven by an unshakeable sense of self-belief. Muhammad Ali once said; “it’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself”. Want to get from a to b in your life, but feel stuck?  Here’s the secret; all the barriers are psychological.  All you need to do is to turn the “I can’t” into the “I can”, by reframing your stories.  

Will you continue to be cursed by your story of inferiority, or will you transform it into one which will compel you to make a positive and lasting impact on the world? The motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said; “stand guard at the door of your mind”, so aim to rid yourself of whatever negativity you may encounter.  If you lack a compelling narrative for your life, you will struggle to overcome your addictions.

Here’s the 8 step program that was crucial to my own rehabilitation; 1. Raise your standards, 2. Curate your core values, 3. Craft your narrative, 4. Work on your presentation (i.e. your dress sense and body shape) 5. Specify high performance role models 6. Upgrade your friends, 7. Find a mentor who will hold you accountable for your rehabilitation, and 8. Cultivate good habits based on all 5 of my top 5 rules for success; positivity, discipline, service, ambition, and persistence. Sticking to these rules was difficult, but I now look forward to helping others do so with ease and efficiency.
