SIMON MORRELL

Words For a Thursday. For this fine week in May, here is a selection of Simon's social media talks in which he takes in leadership, fear, respite, positivity and goal setting.

Being Afraid Of Fear. It isn't usually the fear that stops us in our tracks; it is the feelings that come with it. In this short film, Fear Control expert Simon Morrell explains a little bit about it all.

An Everyday Warrior. From a very young age, I realised my father was not a man of honour. If God sent me an angel in my wife Julie, he most certainly sent me a devil for a dad. I was just six years of age when I saw my first "heavy", a mountain of a man, sent to our house to recover a debt my father owed.

Being Bullied is a true story based on the award winning books From Bullied to Black Belt & An Everyday Warrior.

REAL FEAR, READ A FREE CHAPTER Ways to cope with that dirty four-letter word.

If you are living in fear, there is hope. You can move on and succeed. From Bullied to Black Belt is a true story.

I've never kept my alcohol abuse a secret. It isn't something I am particularly ashamed of, not something to feel proud about, but my withdrawal was a desperate attempt to rid myself of hangovers, falls, arguments and ultimately the man who caused me to drink so much in the first place; my father.

Drains, a Life of Adversity. I was three years old, I had been lost in the woods and, in a separate incident, fallen down a drain where I remained for quite some time before being found and rescued by neighbouring housewives searching for me.

For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Bullied. My misery at the hands of bullies was becoming too big for me. My pain, both physically and mentally, was becoming uncontrollable. Panic attacks were my daily diet, sleepless nights almost a ritual. Something had to give. Eventually, I started doing things that frightened me outside of the bullying environment. Things that frightened me, but things I knew would eventually lead me to the path of confidence. It worked, and the more confiden

A very angry Wabbit A Very Pi**ed Off Bugs Bunny, or How to Lose Millions Bounce houses, bouncy castles, inflatable fun houses. Whatever you called them, at the time my father’s factory manufactured them, they were frowned upon by the big theme parks and blue-chip companies. Nobody wanted to be associated with something that propelled the users high in the air, banging into other users and crashing back down. It just wasn’t good for business. So when my father, Peter, reached

Writing Books and Facing Adversity. In this short film for a Wednesday, Simon talks about what it is like to write books, and then how he discovered, with the help of his friend Geoff Thompson, that adversity can be one of our greatest gifts.

When the IRA Came to Town, sometime ago, as I say in my office, having not long taken over my father's business, a mistake that almost cost me my life, I received a phone call that changed how I dealt and thought about conflict forever.

Making My Mental Health Better. So many things went into the decline of my mental health (was it really any good to start with), but so many things also went into fixing it. In this short, honest series of videos, I talk about the factory my father owned and the tyranny he exercised in his heyday. Certainly, his treatment of me was not good, as you will hear in the video. But of course, the Universe sends us down ways to deal with such things, and I also address these in the

F.EA.R. False Evidence Appearing Real.

One Punch Kill, a short film by Simon Morrell

Real Fear. It can either cripple us, or we can conquer it.

That Unforgettable Feeling, The Undeniable Dream. We have all had it. If we are lucky, we have it more than once, and if we work hard at our dreams, well, it just may happen several times.

We all have potential; it is how we use it that counts. Unlock Your Potential. We all have potential; it is how we use it that counts. I hope this short talk helps you unlock yours.

Kia! The Karate Handbook for Kicking Kids. If you want your child to develop confidence and self-defence skills, but they are too shy to attend a class, then this might be your answer. Kia! The Karate Handbook for Kicking Kids offers practical tips on Karate & Self-Defence as well as fitness and confidence-building drills.

Freedom From Fear. Well, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? Imagine a life without fear. No anxiety, no distressing adrenaline releases, nothing to be frightened of. Now imagine standing at a busy road, seeing a truck hurtling down the inside lane and stepping out in front of you. Imagine being hit by it. Imagine that. Why would you do such a thing? What on earth possessed you to put yourself directly in front of a seven-ton truck doing 50 miles per hour? It is because you hav
