'We can choose to change our behaviours, clothes, and outside environment. We can choose to go on holidays or change jobs, get a new partner or have a bath at the end of the day. However, unless we choose to change the actual quality we perform all these activities in, we have not truly made a different choice, but instead merely improved our landscape, so to speak, on the outside'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

However, unless we choose to change the actual quality we perform all these activities in, we have not truly made a different choice, but instead merely improved our landscape, so to speak, on the outside'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist 'Whilst we may fool others, at the end of the day we sleep in the quality of our own making.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist 'How much focus do we give to what we do rather than the quality we do it in?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Perhaps we ought to review our current way of living and ask, 'is it truly working given our rising rates of illness and disease, the general unrest and discontent for life, the domestic violence, the substance abuse, divorce rates, anxiety, depression etc. to name but a few?'' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'To what extent have we accepted that the quality of our lives are determined by the quality of our daily choices?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'How do we define living? And is there a difference between living and existing?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'To what extent do we examine the choices we make on a daily basis, not only in terms of what we do but the quality we make those choices in? What if quality of life has much more to do with the quality we make choices in rather than the mere function of what we choose to do?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'If today we have more available knowledge about health than at any other time in history, why is illness and disease generally increasing?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'If we approached life as an opportunity, we would have far less issues and far more advancement in terms of our quality of life'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'It does not make sense to hold resentment or anger towards someone. Whilst we may think we can justify it, ultimately it reduces our own quality of life and this affects the quality of life we all live in. And what has ever truly been accomplished from that?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The most common regret people report on their death bed is they wished they had spent more quality time with loved ones. Why wait until then to realise it when it can be lived today?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'If we took away all the caffeine, sugar and other stimulants in society, how much vitality would we feel? Would we still be able to work or make it through the day? Exhaustion has become a major global issue as reflected by the steady increase of stimulants in recent years. Perhaps we could have more conversations worldwide about why we are exhausted, and how we can support ourselves to regain true vitality'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Life is about people, and when we make it about people everything works. But when we make it about money or a better house etc., although we may gain materially it comes at the expense of our relationships. And ultimately it is our relationships with others that truly enriches our quality of life'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Quality of life is not about what we do but the quality we do it in. For example, if you exercise how would you describe the quality of your movement?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Quality of life is not determined by how much money we earn, the car we drive, the job we have etc. but by the quality of our choices on a moment-to-moment basis. For example, how would you describe the quality of your walk as you walk into your workplace each day? For some they may already be feeling stressed about the day ahead, whereas others might feel low-grade anxiety. Have we fully considered the impact walking like this has on our quality of life? Furthermore, have we considered that we may have a choice to walk in a quality that is more supportive for our body?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Anybody can say words such as 'I am a loving person' or 'I love you', but it is how we choose to live with ourselves and others on a daily basis that determines the true quality of our words'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The quality of my day today will determine the quality of my day tomorrow. Hence, why wait until tomorrow?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
