What’s on your mind?

Most people don’t realise how much noise they’re carrying - doubt, stress, old stories, fear.

And the more clutter you let run the show, the slower your focus, confidence, and energy become.

It’s not about fixing your mind - it’s about updating it.

If you’re ready to clear the mental clutter and reprogramme your thoughts for clarity, confidence, and calm…

Your mindset needs an update more than your phone does..

When was the last time you updated your mindset?

Most people are quick to install the latest phone update - but still run on outdated mental software.

Old beliefs.
Old fears.
Old habits.

And then wonder why their progress keeps lagging or freezing.

Here’s the truth:
Your results can only run as fast as your mindset allows.

Because peak performance isn’t about doing more - it starts with a mental update.

What’s one belief or habit you know it’s time to upgrade?

If you’re ready to refresh your Mind Operating System (M.O.S.) and perform at your best - join the priority list for Sort Your Head S.H.I.T.E. Out™.

We will remember them…

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.” Laurence Binyon

When was the last time you updated your mindset?

So far this year, there’ve been 11 Apple iOS updates - but when was the last time you updated your mindset?

We update our phones the moment a new version comes out - because we know it’ll run faster, smoother, and more efficiently.

But most people haven’t updated their mental software in years.

They’re still running on the same beliefs, fears, and thought patterns built for who they used to be - not who they’re becoming.

And that’s why things feel stuck.

The system’s outdated, the code’s cluttered, and the results keep lagging.

Here’s the truth:
Your Mind Operating System (M.O.S.) controls every result you create.

When it’s outdated, you’ll keep hitting the same mental glitches:self-doubt, procrastination, overthinking, burnout.

Imagine what you could achieve if you updated your mindset as often as your phone.

You’d stop lagging behind your potential - and start running at full capacity.

So, when was the last time you updated your mindset - and what needs the biggest upgrade right now?

If you’re ready to upgrade your thinking, reset your focus, and get out of your own way, join the priority list for Sort Your Head S.H.I.T.E. Out™ (launching very soon).

How to Beat Self-Doubt - Even When Your Head’s Screaming “You’re Not Ready”!

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking:
“Who am I to do this?”
“What if I fail?”
“I’m not ready yet…”

That’s not weakness - it’s just outdated mind programming.

Your brain’s running an old safety programme that mistakes growth for danger.

And every time you listen to it, you reinforce the belief that doubt = truth.

Here’s how to rewrite the code when doubt hits…

The 3-Step Reset:

1️⃣ CATCH IT - Notice when the “not ready yet” story appears.
2️⃣ QUESTION IT - Is it true or just familiar?
3️⃣ SWITCH IT - Choose a belief that moves you forward:
“I’m not ready” → “I learn as I go.”

Confidence doesn’t come first... action does.
Belief grows every time you act like it’s true.

Swipe through the full carousel to learn the reset - and if you’re ready to rebuild your confidence from the inside out…

Feeling overwhelmed or anxious lately?
You’re not alone - and you’re not broken.

Here’s the link to the replay of the live broadcast I did yesterday for The Ashgrove Clinic TV, where we talked all things Overwhelm, Anxiety, and Mindset.

We covered:
🧠 What’s really going on in your mind when anxiety takes over
💡 Simple mindset tools to calm your thoughts and reset your focus
⚙️ Why combining conscious techniques with deeper subconscious work can create faster, longer-lasting results
☕️ The everyday habits that quietly fuel anxiety (and how to change them)
🎯 How to apply these tools in real life - whether you’re facing work stress, big life changes, or performance pressure

This isn’t about quick fixes or temporary relief.
It’s about building mental fitness - training your mind to stay calm, clear, and in control, no matter what life throws your way.

Looking forward to going live at 1.00pm - 1.30pm today to talk about Overwhelm, Anxiety and all things Mindset!

Anxiety and overwhelm - tune in to Ashgrove TV today to find out what happens to your brain when things get too much for you. Christian Baker will be explaining how it all goes pear shaped, and giving you some tips on how to find a way out.

Christian has been a hypnotherapist and mindset coach in the clinic since the year we opened (nearly 20 years!). His work has also taken him to some unusual places as he's helped a number of celebrities in that time. He's familiar with the TV sets of the BBC, Sky, ITV and Channel 5. So our TV studio in Higham will be quite small compared to what he's used to!

Hosting today will be Injury Rehabilitation Specialist Jay Sheridan. It's his first day as a host, despite being a regular on the show, so it should be fun.

How to Beat Self-Doubt When Your Head's Screaming - "You’re Not Ready!"

Here’s what most people miss..

You’re not broken - your brain’s just doing its job...

Self-doubt isn’t a lack of confidence - it’s your mind trying to keep you safe.

Your mind prefers the familiar, even if it’s limiting.

So when you reach for your next level, it triggers “not ready yet” thoughts:

“Who am I to do this?”
“What if I fail?”
“Maybe I should wait until I’m more confident…”

That’s not weakness. It’s just your mind programming.

The good news? You can retrain and re-programme it.

Here’s how to start retraining your mind the moment self doubt shows up;

The Catch → Question → Switch Method

1️⃣ Catch it – Notice the moment self-doubt speaks.
2️⃣ Question it – Is this truth, or just old programming?
3️⃣ Switch it – Choose the thought that moves you forward.

Example:
“I’m not ready” → “I’ll learn as I go.”
“I always mess this up” → “I figure things out step by step.”

Confidence isn’t waiting to feel ready.

It’s taking small actions that prove you already are.

In this week’s new blog + video, I break down:

Why self-doubt is actually a sign you’re expanding
How to rebuild self-belief from the inside out
The mindset re-programming that make confidence sustainable.

This week’s blog + video unpack the mindset tools that turn doubt into momentum. Links in the first comment 👇

Don’t Wait for January 1st to Start

You’ve got two months left…and the time will pass whether you use it wisely or not.

You don’t need a new year to make a change.
You just need a decision.

If you invested even a small amount of focused time each day…

🕒 20 mins/day = 20.3 hours
⏳ 30 mins/day = 30.5 hours
⏰ 1 hour/day = 61 hours
⚙️ 2 hours/day = 122 hours

Tiny daily actions compound into massive results.
If you started today, imagine where you’d be by New Year’s Eve.

That’s the power of CANI - Constant And Never-Ending Improvements.

It’s not about overhauling your life -
it’s about upgrading your habits.

You don’t need the perfect plan.
You just need to start - before the calendar resets.

Because one day or day one…
you decide which it will be.

The time will pass anyway.
What will you make happen before the year ends?

Start now. Stay consistent. Finish ahead.
