Brexit Briefing :Chaotic Politics.

-





Britain is in chaos and our politicians are to blame.
The problem lies with too many 'career politicians.' We see this so much today and it must alienate a lot of voters who are struggling with every day, real-life issues.
There's nothing more annoying than listening to views about the NHS, the rail service, dealing with bureaucracy, the reality of unemployment, social care etc from people who have never experienced these issues.

Also, it seems to me that politicians have a mind-set that is fact based, but that's all. They are lacking in intuition, and that all important sixth sense.
They simply don't 'understand' people.

This was so evident in the EU referendum. People were pleased to be given a voice, but that voice wasn't really to do with our membership of the EU. For a lot of people, it was a protest vote against their personal circumstances. Their lives were hard, they wanted something to blame.

And since the referendum those very people who thought their voice had been heard are now finding that it hadn't.

The same goes in the US. Rallying calls for a 'Very big this or a very big that' won over the voters.

We need politicians who have lived a life outside of parliament. Real men and women who are in touch with real people.

People who can 'read' the mood of the nation, empathise, and really want to work toward a better future.

                                                      I've been off the blogging scene for a while as I've been having chemotherapy but that's finished now, thank goodness.    I did not retreat from The Times, Below the Line however, in fact that has been prolific, there seem to be so many things to get annoyed about, I'm talking politics of course and mainly Bloody Brexit.           I have republished some older posts from artycelia.com but left in place all the Brexit (Brexiety) posts. We are nearing the 25th anniversary of The Good Friday Agreement, and I think it's important that we remember our (not mine obviously!) decision to leave the European Union and the precarious position it has left us in. Despite politicians telling us that they 'got Brexit done,' they obviously did not. It seems to me that the politicians, especially Boris Johnson, had no clue what Brexit meant. We find ourselves in an uncomfortable place here in Blighty. We have a severe cos

Life Scripts

                                  'Life Scripts' are stories that we tell ourselves as we try to understand what is going on in our lives. They are like a narration to self and are the way we tell stories about our own lives, in our own minds. These could be stories from the past, the present and/or the future. These stories or life scripts, help us feel safer in life because they make our lives seem predictable and constant with a set of fixed rules- 'things always go this way.' However, these 'life scripts' can sometimes be very damaging to our sense of self, to our relationships and to our ability to reach a sense of purpose and meaning in our lives. To prevent further damage, a therapist will work with their client to examine the life script the client relies on to understand their life. And then to create new scripts that help them move forward, positively to the future  A few examples of 'Life Scripts' could include: "None of my partners have

Therapy: Throat Chakra

-
                                                         Throat Chakra: I Speak The Throat Chakra is the house of a person's self-expression, communication, honesty, authenticity, and their true-life purpose. It is also at the centre of our ability to listen to others. In Sanskrit this chakra is, VISHUDHA. It lies at the centre of the throat where the thyroid gland is located. The colour of this chakra is a vibrant, peacock blue. When this chakra is out of balance, we will have difficulty in communicating with others. A blockage of self-expression prevails along with a lack of confidence when communicating with others. A person with a blocked throat chakra can come across as extremely shy or can display a very secretive personality. A person with an obstructed or imbalanced throat chakra may also suffer from headaches, oral health issues and/or a sore throat that won't go away. When in balance, a person is better able to communicate and express themselves There is a confidence
