The Self Improvement Project

200 episodes... mind-blowing. If you've listened to any of the episodes, thank you. I'm very proud and wanted to share a fitting topic - discipline. I recently asked on the pod whether people feel like they needed more balance in their life and 84% answered that they needed more discipline. So how? I share some thoughts on it today that you can use from today but I keep it simple. It's all about y...

Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe Hello wonderful listeners, today is all about self-worth and one way that we can unlock it through simple changes in our life.

Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe Hello wonderful listeners, today's thoughts come from recent reading and reinforcement around what is true in life; we can only earn mastery, it can never be bought. This leads us to freedom we don't even realise but a type of freedom that everybody wants. It allows us to live a better life and influe...

Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe  Today I talk about some recent thoughts and reflections on the impact working life has on our lifestyle. I've definitely experienced them all but what about you? I've personally been negatively impacted on my health previously due to stress but can manage it now. Take the time to pause and refle...

Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe Some big questions today about lifestyle for you. I feel like the topic of lifestyle design is fairly untouched as there are so many facets to it and a lot of the time we don't know what we want. We need to experiment to find out and see how it makes us feel. Then come our goals that we're continually...

Hello folks :) Today is all about the idea of being decisive with our decisions as you could live millions of lives but you only live one. It's important to make sure you don't spend most of it worrying about how you will live it and just ensure what you do matters to you. I share some tips and thoughts that I feel could help with this so let me know what you think by writing to me. I've had some...

Hello folks :) Today is a quick take on the difference between ambition and desire. Part of the same family but can have very different impacts on our day to day lives if we don't use them properly. Ambition is inherent and something that if we use effectively as a tool, can drive us onto a very fulfilling life. Desire is a dead end and leads to chronic unhappiness. What do you think? Let me know...

This is a thinker today so I hope I provide you with a platform to really absorb and digest this idea. I ask some big questions about what games we are playing and why. Also we look at the current state of how we perceive infinite games as well as never being satisfied. Are we using them optimally if at all? Let me know what you think :) Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/t...

Hello everyone :) The most reflective time of the year! I want you to not only think about your goals for 2023 but I want you to see if you're on the path you truly want to be on. I share some personal experiences of when I made a big change but also recognising it's not always rainbows when we do change. As long as you're on the path you want to be on, nothing can stop you from leading a fulfilli...

Today is all about our own evolution. Good and bad. Looking at life infinitely and the journey we go on. I challenge your thinking around goals and what you're trying to achieve as well as giving you permission to give into life happening and the rewards it brings :) Write to me if it resonates with you.

Hello everyone :) We are in the midst of the frost here in Scotland but I wanted to share some reflective thoughts with you today and how you can use that to help with any lessons you're facing right now.  What is life trying to teach us and can we go a bit easier on ourselves when it comes to how things are going in our life.

We spend a lot of our lives following others. Copying and trying to emulate things we don't know if we truly want nor care about. Why don't we try living our own life and see how that goes? Discovery, experimenting and trying new things are the only way you'll find out what a good life means to you. Let me know what you think.

Hello :) This idea is all about taking each and every day and learning how to love it. We spend too much time feeling anxious or worried about the following day or week.  Sunday and Monday are the obvious ones but I'll give you some solutions that may help. Life is too short to be worrying every week about things we don't have control over. Let me know your thoughts by writing to me :) Become...

Today is all about the benefits of moving your body. I discuss 2-3 ways you can move your body that will help your mental state. May seem simple but they are easy to forget. The simplest things are usually your best bet but are we implementing them enough into our day to day lives? Let me know what you think by writing to me or commenting on the question :) Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast -...

I'm on the side of the small achievements today. We underestimate how much we achieve in a year and don't give ourselves enough credit for it unless it is recognised publicly or through certification. But your lifestyle, happiness and peace are way more important than that. And a much bigger achievement in fact. So today I talk about this in more detail for everyone who needs to recognise how grea...

Good or bad, you're exactly where you're supposed to be right now. This is a timely reminder yet a timeless anecdote. Important to acknowledge now if you're going through a tougher time of it and reassurance that you're doing the right things and to take control of what you can. Let me know what you think :) Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/su...

It's time to go all in. All in on bring your true self. We spend too much of our lives fitting in and trying to be something or someone we're not. You will be more proud when you truly embrace your own personality and own values that make your life one worth truly living. It made sound cheesy but we only get one shot and we don't know when it's going to end. So this is your permission to double do...

What ingredients do we need in order to live a happy life? Today I use this metaphor to explore the things we need in order to find a happier life for ourselves. Do we need to be healthier? Do we need to be more career driven? Do I spend enough time with my friends? I look at some other factors that may contribute like timing, experimenting and experience. Let me know what you think :) Become a Pa...

Today is all about starting over. When we have that strike of initial motivation in our lives to change something, the most important thing we can do is make it sustainable. I talk through 3 layers of this that will hopefully help you if you are in a position of starting over with any habits or behaviours.

So enjoy and as always, feel free to write to me if you feel like it resona...

Hello everyone :) big idea today around this concept of the absence of things bringing us more happiness and I want to share my perspective with you. Do you think less is more or do you feel more balance is needed and okay? Let me know any examples or things that you feel help your become more happy day to day alongside anything I've shared in todays episode :) Become a Paid Supporter of the Podca...

Hello everyone :) Today is an episode arguing the side of helping others. By listening to this, you're probably already aware of the great impact you're having on your own life by working on yourself. But how can you use it to help others? What is the different impact or benefits of helping others with our efforts? It's perhaps a different type of satisfaction we get from it but nonetheless import...
