Our mind, with great help from our ego, creates stories to help us interpret the world according to our selfish needs, rather than seeing us as part of the whole. What happens we feel instead?

What have you been hypnotized by? Do we realize how much stress causing inputs are entering into our subconscious, getting us to feel and then act in a certain way? We need to snap out of it to see.

How much our energy is spent on our mind’s tendency to imagine worst case scenarios? A lot! Why don’t we flip that around?

Our body is so naturally resilient that we often push it until it breaks. Let’s give it a chop out from time to time. It wants you to just stop the inputs for a time so it can heal itself.

The heart is an amazing organ and I briefly talk about why in relation to counteracting our stress response.

My shortest podcast gives an uplifting message today

I had some peace and quiet. I was lying in bed, had the headphones in, listening to an audiobook. Within a few hours, I realised what the missing piece was in my mental jigsaw puzzle.

My mind went looking for ways to get me out of my minor funk last night. Then it struck me what I was forgetting.

People often tell me they are their own worst enemy. That awareness is actually a great place to start to create the life you want to live.

Our daily lives are often punctuated by conflicts in personal, work, or societal settings. When we get to take a break, it’s common to fill it with more media driven conflict. When are we supposed to get a break?

We live in an indulgent society that serves up rewards for no achievement and we are not prepared for stressful events when they occur.

Are the benefits of social media tools now outweighed by its affect on our personal relationships and emotional well-being? Are we inviting more stress into our lives by using the big platforms? That’s discussed in this episode.

When we are stressed it often feels like we are wrapped in a tight blanket. In this episode, I describe a tool to create mindful space between yourself and your feelings.

I’ve found that my mood can significantly change while I am eating a plate full of green vegetables cooked to me liking. Listen to this short episode on my go-to gut healthy slump buster.

It’s a sensitive topic but alcohol is not the tool to use to reduce stress. I talk about my personal lessons in this episode.

This is episode 50 of the podcast and I talk about starting something and building momentum, plus free gift for regular listeners of our first 50 episodes!

How good is having a laugh when things aren’t going so well?! In this episode, I touch on the benefits of a good, hearty chuckle for stress relief.

I remember the episode of the nightly news that made me stop watching it 5 years ago. When we are trying to reduce stress, watching a lot of news is not healthy and makes it harder to be happy.

Last night I watched the doco ‘Heal’ and it reinforced everything I believe in terms of creating a healthier life for ourselves.

Repetitive negative thoughts causes more harm, destruction and suffering than just about anything else. I get fired up in the episode because we need to get on top of this as a society

It’s amazing how much of an impact you can make in your community with a little time and effort. This episode is a brief summary of my story as a youth mentor.
