Be YOU-nique: Find Your X-Factor
YOU ARE ENOUGH. YOU ARE AMAZING.
Environment, technology, population growth, social, globalization, grades, pandemics … the world’s moved on and so must our thinking.
Be YOU-nique brings to you eighteen ‘rules for life’. Rules for modern life, to be precise. Re-imagined, re-engineered and re-thought, the rules vary from obvious to simple and all the way through to counter-intuitive and downright challenging.
So clear that muddle from between your ears, quieten the shouty inner voice, dare to leave some things unticked on your to-do list, stop trying to be perfect and start to be amazing.
Above all—‘memento mori’—remember death. Life is short so no more messing around. No more wasting time. It’s time to focus on what’s most important and to strive towards your true potential.
Game face on.
Let’s do it.

It’s actually quite comforting to know that even those people who seemingly have their life together
(especially on social media)—well, actually, they don’t. Take a breath, if you’ve got an inner shouty
voice telling you, you’re a bit of an idiot, WOOHOO, you’re perfectly normal!
You can’t turn the shouty inner voice off (it’s built into your
human operating system) but you can learn to turn it down. The question is,
where on earth do you start? Who and where do you turn to for help?
