In this week's Episode, I aim to provoke you to raise your awareness about how you decide. How you decide anything.  I ask you 12 questions that are guaranteed to raise your awareness about how you decide. You might be surprised by the answers.  I hope so.  Useful questions can help us to break existing patterns of thinking. When you change your pattern of thinking, you change your behaviour....

In this week's Episode, I urge you to be ready for anything! The Times They Are a-changin' and they're changing very quickly; you can become more ready for whatever way that they change.  Predicting the future is becoming ever more difficult, so don't bother trying to do so. Work on becoming ready for whatever happens. Major changes have already happened under the guise of a pa...

In this week's episode, I share ideas and insights with you on how to handle the 'haters' who disagree with your health decisions.  You might be losing relationships with too many family members, friends, work colleagues, and sporting colleagues.  You might be losing them because you refused to go along with the majority view on certain health matters.  You might be refusing to go a...

In this week's episode, I explore a key aspect of your role on this planet while you are alive.  You are meant to do what you see needs to be done and the truth is that nobody can precisely see what you can see.  Your unique and 'weird' background enables you to see what others cannot see.  What is it that you are meant to be doing?  What contribution are you meant to be making?  Wh...

In this week's episode, I invite you to explore your beliefs about your ageing. About you getting old and about others getting old.  How old will you be when you die of old age? If you do have an accident, that's a different matter. But what does 'old age' mean to you? And when is it going to "do you in", as Eliza Dolittle famously said in My Fair Lady?  Your beliefs...

In this week's episode, I explore the crucial skill of confidence, both in yourself and confidence in the future in tough times.

In this Episode, I ask you whether it's time for your Civil Disobedience. If your government is acting improperly or unlawfully or unethically or immorally, do you just accept it? Or, are you going to push back?  Do you know that YOU are responsible for the future of the country in which you live. I'm Australian. I am personally responsible for the future of this country and I'm per...

In this Episode, I explore ideas on how to maintain your equilibrium if times are tougher for you than normal.  If times are getting tougher for you, if times are tough, this means you have problems and I discuss Einstein's well-known quote: "No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it". So how can you use this idea to raise your consciousness to handle your...

In this week's episode, I explore reality.  And particularly, the ways in which you are creating your reality. Your own special reality.  Are you aware that you are creating it? Do you love your reality?  Or are you only enduring it, just putting up with it, just enduring your life?  You aren't stuck with it, you know.  You can wake up. You can change it. I've got some ideas for you...

In this week's episode, I ask whether it's your responsibility.  Is it your responsibility to take a jab of an experimental injection for the good of the country?
