1. Change isn't easy but it is rewarding. The moment we accept that we can change, we will change. If we want change, then we have the power to create change.

2. Change is in our control. Everything in our lives has the possibility of change. We can make the good things even better and the challenges into good. Everything in our lives is our responsibility and therefore ours to change.

3. Change requires certainty. Practising and accepting that we want to change requires us to remove all doubts within us. Change develops a sense of certainty and empowerment within us.

4. Who do you want to be? When we decide to change we go on a journey. The journey is a personal process. On that journey you have the opportunity to begin to the choices about the person we want to be.

5. Clear purpose. Always have in mind the big picture and what the end goal looks like. In the tough times of change and the journey, the purpose will keep us moving.

Here are a few quick things to move the power of a better date. This is not the ultimate list but contains a few reminders of some basics. This is how to build a healthy soul.

1.  The first date offered. Say that you are busy that day and get the other person to come up with another time. This sends a good message you have a life and are not needy.

2. Take a back seat. Let the other person do most of the talking on the date. It takes the pressure of you and allows the other person to do most of the sharing. Ask lots of questions if you are nervous, then once you both arrive at a  topic you feel confident start to share.

3. First date length. It's better to not to do anything that lasts more than an hour or so. It is better if the date is low key such a coffee, a quick walk in the park or a lunch break.

4. Get the other person to chose the cafe, bar or park. Let's see what their thought process is and how organised they are. You'll soon tell if they are genuinely interested even if they put a little thought into the place.

5. If you are comfortable to see the person again, do something along these lines for three or four times before taking it up to something like dinner and a movie.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - The Relationship Within - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

There are abundant images of happy couples in front of us creating an impression that most people are in a happy relationship status. How often do we consider the relationship within? What do we want to love inside? What are we married to in regards to who we are?

Relationships with family, friends and partners are challenging. They can be the very thing that really help us grow or can pull us down. Finding the right partner can be something that is a challenge in itself. If we start to consider the relationship with who we are the journey can be made a little lighter. Looking for the positives within you and the things you want to change are the first step.

To take the first step into a relationship with ourselves is to ask ourself how we see or define love. The only real thing in life is love so it is an important concept. What can love do for us? How does love affect us? What do we love about us. Remember that opposites do not attract. Like attracts like. These are the characteristics we want in the other person. The negatives in ourselves are thing we want to eradicate and work on and change. These could be jealousy, anger, victim, frustrations, worry and these kinds of emotions. By working on this with ourselves, we will be sure not to take them into our relationships.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - The True Representation of You - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

In a speedy time when the world goes at a crazy pace and pressure and challenges are very present in our lives, it's important to take an audit of who we are. Are we behaving true to ourselves? Are we representing ourselves correctly in hard times? What do we want our time to represent and with what character do we want to express?

When challenges, pressures or hard time come into our lives it's very easy for us to become highly reactive. We can become angry, destructive, anxious, worried and all of those negative traits. We can also behave in a way which we think others want to behave and short-change ourselves through wanting to please creating our character as a victim.

It's good to have a mantra about who we are in these times. Start to consider the three most important and positive ways of behaviour the really characterise the true essence of us. It could be creative, balanced, powerful, loving and those kinds of attributes. This way we can look back and know we were true to how we want to be represented.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - Constancy to Purpose - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

The same ingredient in anyone's cake of success is constancy to purpose. When do we fall away from our desires? Why is it so hard to reach that next level? What is constancy to purpose about?

One of the challenges in life is achieving a desire, a goal or a different existence with something than to what we have now. We have dreams, ambitions and yearn for some way of making a difference in our lives and the lives of others.

Generally, in the process of a goal, we might make one or two steps towards it or in fact go right up to a point where we are almost there. At that final hurdle something out of the blue happens. An unexpected occurrence happens that we have never counted on and would have been impossible to foresee. The universe sends a challenge so big for us that it goes from being another hurdle to an 20 foot high fence causing a block.

For most people, one look at the fence and we back away even knowing that their dream was just on the other side of it. Rather than pursue any attempt at getting over the fence, the ego kicks in our heads saying that told you so, that it's all too hard, we never could do it and we were never meant to have it. Boom. We resume to our victim status. The dream fades and the work we did before the fence disappears into thin air as if we never tried.

The universe never sends us a small hurdle or a large fence we can't overcome. However, in the grand design of life and the perfect order of light, it knows that we have a lesson to learn and a strength to find in order to maintain our goal and share it. Therefore, that big hurdle is a perfectly placed fence required to give us the grounding to cherish and receive the gift of our desire. The fence is necessary part of the process and run for it, jump it and land on the other side of it with certainty. It's all designed for you. Stay constant to your purpose.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - About Opening Your Heart - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

It is very easy to go through life holding on to pain. Why is it hard to forget the past? Is the fear and pain real? How do we open our hearts and love unconditionally?

Amongst pain, hatred, fear, loss, anger, guilt and other such negative emotions, it becomes very easy for us to lose the power of our positivity. We can look for very short terms answers and quick, easy ways to then heal us of our problems which can often heighten the negativity. Looking for simple remedies through hurting others, over-indulging, gossipping and other such behaviours to boost our own esteem in fact bolster the issue and detach us from our true selves even further.

For connection back to our love, vitality, creativity, joy and fearless behaviour, we must return to a space without limitation. We must open our hearts to conceive a world without boundaries. These boundaries can be physical and personal. It is possible to heal our hearts by closing the gap with the ones with whom we feel the pain. Perhaps not always directly with the person, but at least in our minds, we must bring ourselves to hold unconditional love and in fact appreciation for these actions.

The love and appreciation for what lesson they have taught us and how that strengthened us as human beings will heal the damage. While revenge, jealousy and rage can drive our reactions, once you establish a firm footing in the world of thanks and gratitude, their actions will hold no power over us and we can carry on regardless defusing our stress and regaining proactive actions and certainty in our life. Let go and keep remembering how good it is have known the lesson.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - About The Beauty of Surrender - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Letting go, giving in and getting out of the way can be hard. What is the good in surrendering? Why let go when we think we're right? How is giving in the best path to take?

Being completely focused on having faith, trust and commitment to our life is a challenge. The source, the energy, the universe or whatever we would prefer to call it is definitely there but as human being we have trouble with the word trust. We have somewhat hardened to the world and have come to the decision that our way is the only way and we must maintain control over everything. It's our way or the highway.

Life and the universe have an unusual way of working. The more we try and control, hold on and tighten our grip on our lives, the more it slips through our fingers. Things going missing, not the way we planned or not moving forward? This is because we are too focused on the outcome and how we plan is the only way for desires to happen.

For life to be fully appreciated we have to let go, surrender and trust the universe. The second we have no attachment to any outcome and submit ourselves to the journey the universe wants to take us on, is when the magic just happens. Want the new job, new partner or more happiness? Then put in a little positive and consistent effort and watch the universe manifest the result in a better way we could ever imagine. This is the beauty of surrender. This is connection. This is appreciation.

Soul Coaching & Karmic Astrology - The Foundation of Appreciation - The Matt Taylor Experience - London & International

Appreciation is very hard to begin to feel. How do we truly appreciate something? What does appreciation mean? How does appreciation build a foundation for a better life?

For some reason appreciation has come into  life. It's a really simple thing to talk about however, to get to a deeper level of appreciation takes a shift. The important shift in the beginning of reaching appreciation requires a different first step.

Appreciation is difficult to feel until we actually remove ourselves from the focus.  Appreciating something just because it is there, is very different to appreciating something because it benefits us or we have it.

For example, a big step in helping us achieve a fuller sense of appreciation is to start to appreciate people walking down the street. In the appreciation of a total stranger, we begin to see them in a different way and feel a connection with that human. The feeling of connection with that person is far greater fulfilment than appreciating someone because they did something for us.

Another example of appreciation is to take stock of what we have in our lives already that we overlook in our bid for more. Instead of consistently wanting more money, better job and or more happiness, have we stopped to really, deeply look at the £2 in our pocket that will buy  the hot chocolate, get the friendly smile from the lady that makes it, keep our hands warm and give us that brilliant start to the day? This is not a small example because in the appreciation for these moments and what we already have, we build a foundation for more into my life and more appreciation. That connects.
