If there was one only piece of wisdom I would hope to impart to you it is in this episode.  

We have a tendency to see ourselves as the centre of the universe. However there are 7.8 billion other people on the planet. Getting ourselves into perspective can really help us at this time. 

Some days it seems harder to hold it together. Especially for those of us who are used to holding it together for our families or workplace this time can be even more challenging. How do we manage?

It can be easy to lay the responsibility for our happiness at the feet of other people. But what if I told you that you happiness was actually much more in your control than you realise?

Most of us go through life relatively unconsciously struggling to keep up with all of the demands on us. But how much do we focus on bringing joy into our lives?

Many people have commented to me that the days feel long and time seems to have slowed down. Why is this? This is what we discuss in today's episode. 

Yesterday I got news that my father is in the High Dependency Unit at the hospital in New Zealand. As I asked some of my close students to think of him they asked me in return how to deal with someone being sick and separated from us at this time. These are my thoughts.  

For most of us our best friend is getting us into all sorts of trouble. Today we look at who your best friend should be and how you can help them be your best friend rather than your sometimes best friend and at times your worst enemy.

Right now we are being forced to face ourselves and our habitual emotions in a way we may not have had to before. In this episode I show you an exercise to help you manage emotions that are a little difficult.
