- [Self-Maintenance: How To Service Your Brain Like Your Bakkie](https://jbcoaching.co.za/self-maintenance-for-men/): Self-Maintenance: How To Service Your Brain Like Your Bakkie Real self-maintenance is the difference between a vehicle that clocks 500,000 kilometres and one that ends up on the scrap heap at 100,000. You wouldn’t drive your bakkie for years without an oil change. You know exactly what would happen.  Yet, I see men treat their brains with a level of neglect they’d never inflict on their Hilux. You might grind gears, redline your stress levels daily, and ignore the smoke pouring out of the bonnet until you find yourself stranded on the side of the mental highway.  You might call this […]
- [Am I Broken? You're Not A Toaster, You Don't Need Fixing](https://jbcoaching.co.za/am-i-broken-youre-not-a-toaster/): Am I Broken? You’re Not A Toaster, You Don’t Need Fixing Asking “Am I broken?” is one of the heaviest questions a person can ask themselves. You look at your life, career, or relationships, and you feel fundamentally flawed. Everyone around you seems to have it figured out. They’re updating their LinkedIn profiles, hiking the Magaliesberg on Sundays, and ordering air fryers on TakeALot (and then using and cleaning it?!).  Meanwhile, you’re treading water, feeling lost, and wondering where you were when they were handing out adulting instruction manuals. I’m going to stop you right there. You’re a complex, dynamic human […]
- [Life Coach Vs Therapist: Know The Difference (& Which Is Right For You)](https://jbcoaching.co.za/know-the-difference-life-coach-vs-therapist/): Life Coach Vs Therapist: Know The Difference (& Which Is Right For You) It’s 2 am. You’re staring at the ceiling, wondering why you feel restless and unsettled. You have a good job, the white-picket fence with the electric wiring and cameras to match, the 2.35 kids, a partner you love, and the fat chocolate lab. You’re healthy. You get up, go to work, and pay your taxes.  But something feels heavy, or perhaps just… stagnant. This brings us to the common dilemma: life coach vs therapist. The line between these two professions is blurry. Is a life coach just a […]
- [How to Practise Self-Love Every Day? It Starts With YOU](https://jbcoaching.co.za/how-to-practise-self-love-every-day/): The journey of self-discovery is a lifelong one. It is a journey that is unique to each of us and one that is never truly finished. However, there are certain things that you can do to help move your self-discovery along.   One of the most important things you can do is practice self-love. 
- [Monday-est Monday: What's The Real Blue Monday Meaning](https://jbcoaching.co.za/blue-monday-meaning/): For some of us the third week of the year, especially the third Monday, can feel incredibly difficult. Originally coined Blue Monday in 2005 as an advertising gimmick for a travel company, there is no scientific weighting to this term. However, it might still feel like a very long day
- [Beat Your Holiday Blues](https://jbcoaching.co.za/beat-your-holiday-blues/): Practically everywhere you turn, you are told that the festive season is a time to be merry and joyous and just have a grand old time. For some people, that is exactly it, and that's great, but for quite a lot of people, that is simply not the case. In fact, it's a well-known 
- [What Is a Life Coach? (and Do You Actually Need One?)](https://jbcoaching.co.za/what-is-a-life-coach-why-try-coaching/): Life is an obstacle course - not the easy kind. We constantly need to juggle careers, personal development, finances, an array of relationships, kids, pets and plants if you have them, and people (drivers, slow shoppers, non-stop talkers, those who try to convince you that the sky is green, etc., etc.). Add to that, you need to take care of your mental, 
- [Journaling - just a buzzword or a real thing?](https://jbcoaching.co.za/journaling-just-a-buzzword-or-a-real-thing/): It seems as if everywhere you turn, there is some type of journal or journaling exercise being herald. Bullet, gratitude, dream, goal, creative, finance, mindfulness, motivation, and on the list goes. So, it needs to be asked, is journaling just a way for stationary brands to make money and Pinterest boards to be pinned, or are there actual benefits to it?
- [Quotes from my 2021 diary](https://jbcoaching.co.za/quotes-from-my-2021-diary/): In all honesty, my diary is a horror show. Not a good one like Silence of the lambs, more like Sharknado 6. (There are six of these? I’m not much of a horror film enthusiast, and I have to admit that the search for a bad horror movie sent me on an entertaining internet spiral.) Paging through it, you’ll find no logic applied, random bits of info scribbled at odd places, coffee
