A Day in the Life of Craig Harper - the second bit
3:35 pmI arrive home, make a cup of tea, take a Ginger Bread Man (oh yes, that's right) from the pantry and put on some training clothes. I feel more creative when I'm in my slobby clothes. I walk up the stairs to my office and settle in with my GBM and my tea. I mercilessly bite the head off my...

A Day in the Life of Craig Harper
G'day Rock Stars.I wrote the following post with some trepidation. To be honest, the idea of writing a 'Day in the Life of Me' article didn't really sit comfortably with me. Apart from seeming a little self-indulgent and wanky, I didn't really think it would be something that people would find...

First Impressions
When I was growing up, my father (Ron the business man) was forever sharing from his extensive database of Ron-isms (sayings). The downloads were numerous, mildly amusing and constant. While there were literally hundreds of them, some of them got wheeled out more often than others. Here's a...

How We React (part two)
In yesterday's post we began to look at how we deal with, or react to, the various happenings in our world. I observed that we have reacting and we have thinking and for some of us, the two don't merge very often. And therein lies the problem; something happens and we respond without thinking,...

How We React (part one)
G'day Rock Stars. After the frivolity, immaturity and down right stupidity of Tuesday's post, it's probably timely and appropriate for me to remove my backwards baseball cap, pull up my pants, stand up straight, stop smirking, cease with the potty mouth and put on my personal development...

The Therapeutic Benefits of Talking Shit
G'day Groovers.So on Thursday last week we ran a teeny weeny competition and I asked you to finish my article on Over-thinkers; to provide us with the tenth and final tip for dealing with the issue of over-thinking. Well, we received a bunch of fantastic responses and I certainly got some great...

Treating the Person not the Body
Have we Been Missing the Point?For all our research, resources, technology and collective intelligence there's still way more that we don't know about managing the human body, than we do. We like to think we're more enlightened than ever but in many ways we're still failing miserably when it...

Bits n Pieces
Free StuffSo I guess we figured out how to get a bunch of comments (see yesterday's post); offer a prize! Thanks for all your suggestions, words of wisdom and insight; there was some great advice given. Next Monday I will let you know who has a signed copy of my book coming their way. Now that...

The Over-Thinker
Hi Groovers. I apologise for being a little scarce lately but the rest of my life (the bit I get paid for) has been somewhat chaotic for the last eight weeks. I will do as many corporate gigs in the last three months of this year, as I did in the first nine! It's a good 'problem' to have and I...

The 'F' Word
About a hundred years ago when I was a young, fresh trainer (hard to believe I know) I had a meeting with a lady and her morbidly obese thirteen year-old son to talk about some training for him. The kid was about 160cm (five foot four) and 100kg (220lbs). In the first two minutes of our meeting...

A Need to be Right
Yesterday I did some radio on the ABC here in Melbourne (it's Sunday night now) and while we covered a few topics, the one subject which dominated the bulk of the talk-back conversation was gastric bypass surgery. It seems that many people have an opinion on it and it's an issue which certainly...

Alone
A Need to BelongThe thought of being alone terrifies most of us. It seems we have an inbuilt need to be part of something (a group, an organisation, a team, a tribe, a religion, a family, a gang) or someone else. We have an overwhelming urge to be loved, needed, wanted, valued, desired and...
