I'm back with one of my short videos again. This series is brilliant actually. I'm really enjoying doing it. Yeah, if you haven't watched my other videos, I've got videos on nervous system regulation, dating, things that you can do for yourself if you're of stuck in a bit of a funk. And yeah, so.
not my last video, the one before that I talked about when you go on a date and I talked about how I am fed up with these dating hacks, dating tips how to manipulate someone into liking you stuff that I keep seeing all over the social media and go back and watch that video because I do
give you a very useful tip in how I think that you should approach things and what's working for me and my clients. And so I wanted to jump on to actually talk about that because obviously my one-to-one clients, my group clients, I give them advice on what they're supposed to do. And I do live by this, know, be to the point and...
If people don't like it, it's their problem. And so one of my one-to-one clients that I was with on at the weekend, anyway, I was talking to her and she has recently started dating someone. And this person is very, very different to anyone that she has ever dated before.
which is so, so cute and I'm so happy for her and yeah, it's lovely. But straight away, you know, she was very to the point with this person and she told them that she was working with me and you know, she was trying to get out of the same toxic cycles and you know what has happened for her?
which is just, it blows my mind, but proves my whole point in my previous video, that when you are honest with people about what you want, you tend to attract the right people into your life. And so the person that she is dating, he actually said to her, if she wants to kind of pause what's going on with them, while she continues to do her work on herself.
then he is happy to wait.
And for any of you out there that blew your mind, there is people out there, the right people, that will respect that. That will respect what you want and if it's not right for them, then it's not right for them. But there are actually people out there and most of the people that I work with, most of the people that I attract into my world that watch my videos,
that work with me have never experienced that because they've only ever experienced people that only care about themselves and so today's video is all about you just putting out what you want
I did want to leave you with a little task but some people, you know, don't want to do that. How can you today put yourself forward more than you normally would? So it could be at work.
or it could be with a family member and set a boundary. So think about something that has been upsetting you for a while, could be anything.
and think about how you could go about setting that boundary. Because a lot of the time, the things that we have problems with within romantic relationships overlap into other parts of our life. And so that is what I want you to do. But yeah, I'm so, so proud of her because she's done the work.
she's actively doing and honestly my one to one clients they hate me I would say
I'd say it's a 50-50 split that it's a love-hate relationship because I get them to do things that they don't want to do. They get out of their comfort zone and you know they're not that keen on that but that's what they pay me for. So it is a you know they love me when they see their results and they're so happy after they've done the things that I'm like right you need to go and do this.

all of my one-to-ones, every single session they will get homework. Some of them hate the homework and it's actually, it's funny but we laugh about it together, I'm not laughing at them, we're laughing together and we, the progress and so for her, actually in such a short space of time, she started putting those boundaries into place and then she's attracted someone into her life that will respect them.
that's the law of attraction. That's what happens. You put out what you want and it does come back to you. So yeah, that's it. I wasn't actually planning on talking about the law of attraction because I know some people are like, sounds a bit woo woo with all of that. But yes, so that is all from me. Again, with my short
unedited podcast series that I'm trying to do every single day at least once a day just to give you some really small tips because I know not everyone has time to listen to a 45 to an hour minute video. Okay, speak to you soon.
