It's not being overly dramatic to say that NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) saved my life.

I'll be going through 4 reasons why NLP can be a life-saver for you, your mental wellbeing, and your ability to get more of what you want from life.

Not good!

So in this episode, we're going to be fixing that. We're going to take a look at 4 strategies you can use to ensure that your new year's resolutions (this year) actually stand the test of time.

One of the things that makes life harder work than it needs to be is not being able to forgive.

Holding on to all the anger, hurt, resentment, the bruising of the ego, and, in general, just not being able to move on.

Forgiveness can be a tough one to process, especially if we believe that we've been properly betrayed or treated badly.

So in this episode of the podcast, we'll be taking a look at the art of forgiveness. I'll be going through a 2-step process you can use to get some resolution and finally move on.
