Right Your Own Story

In this episode of Right Your Own Story, I talk about the 13 Causes Of Success , from the classic book 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill. Hill was tasked with seeing if there was a formula for success, and he found that there always was, and without exception! To assist with what 'Success' actually means I find this definition helpful - The Progressive Realisation of a Worthy...

**PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN PRESENT** In this episode of #rightyourownstory I talk about a very dark chapter in my life when I was sexually abused as a child.  I also disclose some of the surroundings and circumstances I had at home, my upbringing, my thoughts and feelings then and now, and how I believe a combination of things made me particularly vulnerable to the...

In this podcast episode called '10 Ways to Stop Procrastination', I give some really easy practical things to do that help. As a Professional Counsellor, Hypnotherapist, and Life-Coach, procrastination and procrastinating is one of the main things I see clients really struggling with, the 'Should I/Shouldn't I', or 'Can I/Can't I', playing over and over on a continu...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about the ongoing defamation case of Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard, their history, psychological evaluations and some of the behavioural issues that are alleged. I also talk about how to recover from these kinds of circumstances too, both emotionally and psychologically, and from a therapeutic perspective, so it is quite a full episode.  What do you think...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory, I explain why affirmations generally do not work (because they are not done correctly in the first place), give a blueprint on how to do them properly, why you should apply this in your own lives, and even give a demo too. I would recommend doing affirmations twice a day - As soon as you wake up and just before you go asleep too. Persistence is key here...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory I talk about an incident that only happened to me a few days ago when I had a puncture on my car as I was driving along the motorway, and how it gave me an idea for this podcast, namely, have YOU got a flat tyre too? I don't mean a physical flat tyre, but more is there an area of your life where you can think, 'That's a bit flat'! Are the...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory I talk about the x6 times World Snooker Champion Ray Reardon, and his mindset when approaching both his game and his life. A lot can be learned from his approach in our own lives too.  Ray Reardon was the first No. 1 ranked player when rankings first came in (1976/77), the oldest world champion at 45 (1978), and the oldest player to win a ranking event w...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory, I ask the question, are you a black belt or a white belt? You are probably both, without even realising it. I also talk about the founder of Judo, Kano Jigaro, who was born in 1860 and died in 1938. As an old man approaching his death, he had a special message for his students, and its meaning is quite profound! However, during his life, he made it his...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about 'The Magic Pearl', the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, his classic book 'The Art of War', a real and present power you have within you that you probably didn't realise and then I make a little drawbridge to link all of these topics together.  I would recommend listening to this a few times over.  Don't forget yo...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory, I tell a story of a Bus driver who is forced to work a certain shift, but doesn't really like it. However, this driver can do more than they realise to improve their surroundings, improve their lifestyle and generally be happier in the process too. I hope you enjoy this one. Best wishes,  James Right Your Own Story Ltd

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I explain how you can change your life for £2. Rather than being a bold ridiculous claim, it is true, and it could be the best £2 you ever spend. I also refer to a previous podcast in this episode too, so here is the link for that episode as well too  I hope you enjoy this episode. My best wishes,  James Right Your Own Story Ltd #rightyourownstory #changeyour...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory I talk about a thing that almost everyone does, that really harms them, but just don't realise what it is. This is an important thing to discover because it is a real secret enemy of yours, and until you realise it's even there, you can't get rid of it, so awareness first is key. When you discover it's even there, I explain a technique of how t...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about 'The Law of Polarity'. This is such an important law, and just being aware of it is a game-changer. When you then start to apply it in your own life, things really start to shift.  You find resolve, hope, confidence and faith, so it's a very powerful cocktail, and it tastes great too!  I explain what 'it' is, and also how to a...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory I talk about a concept of fleas in a jar and about limiting beliefs.  A limiting belief will keep you down more than anything else I know about because, as a quote from Henry Ford goes, "If you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right". Not only what we say verbally is important (because you engage another sense - you hear it)...

In this weeks episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about the recent death of one of my mentors, Bob Proctor. Bob was such an inspirational figure for me, and his knowledge was incredible. At 26 years of age, he met a man who would change his life forever. That man (Ray Stanford) showed him that he was capable of so much more, and it put him on a path that he would never wander from.  When Bob lea...

Would you say it is ok to tell a lie depending on the content or motive of the person saying it? In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I tell a story of a big decision a mother had to make towards her son and what then took place afterwards.  Do you think she was correct, and would you have done the same? I also talk about how certain messages told to children repeatedly (innocently or not), can...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of the id, the Ego and the Superego and explain it in a more user-friendly sort of way, as well as giving some examples of it in action. It was originally translated by British Psychoanalyst James Strachey (b.1887 - d.1967), and this translation has come under some criticism that the true meaning and theo...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about a topic concerning planning a goal, or goal setting, and the three stages we always go through to achieve this. I also mention a book too, so here is the Amazon link for that.  My very best wishes, James Right Your Own Story Ltd

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, I talk about a spider that was in my bath, but what it 'really meant' was a lesson I could know and take forward for myself, and how you can do the same too. You might be surprised at what you discover with this episode! As always, my very best wishes, James Right Your Own Story Ltd  

In this episode of #Rightyourownstory I talk about the concept of others who have given you things that they should not have, and perhaps some of these 'bowls' you didn't even ask for or deserve. To prevent this from continuing to happen, I would recommend evaluating your boundaries, both with yourself and others.  Boundary setting is truly huge, and although perhaps difficult to appro...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory, (the first of 2022) I talk about a series of incidents that took place with a certain teacher I had at primary school, and although one was truly horrific for me, in a strange way that I couldn't appreciate at the time, it definitely shaped me into who I am today.  Later, I got my revenge on this teacher in front of the entire class, and in a way that nei...

In this episode of #rightyourownstory (the last episode of 2021!), I talk about a strange dream I had a while ago and also the concept of making New Year resolutions too.  When I was able to analyse my own dream, I was able to make progress in a way that was previously holding me back.  Spoiler Alert - It was 'me' holding 'me' back, and my subconscious was letting me know it too. H...

In this episode of 'Right Your Own Story' I talk about Christmas. This is a difficult time for many, especially with Covid being here too, but this podcast is about still being able to give something to family and friends for free.........your time! It can be as simple as just making a phone call to give some of your time to another and potentially making their day in the process. It's...

A Money Saving Tip to have £1,378. Christmas is almost upon us and that can cause HUGE financial strain, on top of potential emotional strains too.  In this episode of 'Right Your Own Story', I explain a money-saving technique a friend told me about a few years ago, and it works a treat.  If you do this technique properly, next Christmas, you will have £1,378 put aside, which I'm guess...

I have called this episode, 'What To Do When You Are At Rock Bottom'. I was inspired to make a podcast on this topic after I watched a video of a mature student at his graduation ceremony in America, and he shared a story of when he was at his rock bottom. I share some tips and thoughts around this if you ever find yourself at your rock bottom.  I hope you find it useful. ** Don't forg...
