To Succeed... Just Let Go

This week’s podcast answers a need that a number of listeners have expressed to me - you (or, at least, they!) have asked to hear more about what owners of The Psychology of Success Online Program have to say about how their lives have been transformed by investing in themselves. And, by investing in themselves, first of all, I mean investing time and energy in doing what’s right and, obviously, n...

It’s time to wake up. And to encourage you to do just that, I have enumerated, in this episode, some of the more debilitating consequences of… being normal. We’re exploring mental health, physical health, disease, illness and untimely death - all by your own hand or, should I say, all as a result of the automatic way the thinking mind is, actually, overthinking you to death. Of course, you’re not...

The title of this episode would suggest that we’ve wandered into the world of spirituality, which we have, by the way! In fact, we’ve been paddling in that pool for most of this podcast’s five-plus years, it’s just that it wasn’t really explicit. All that said, this week’s episode is entirely practical, focused, as it is in the end, on not wasting your time or energy on doing the wrong things and,...

As it is within, so it is without - when we take charge of our inner world, we change our outer world, we transform our experience of everyday life. And that is what this episode is all about - the undoubted and very real challenges that we all encounter every day. What good is my saying that all good things fall into your lap when we let go of the want and trying that accompanies normal people’s...

Synchronicities are the signposts that lead us forward and, if you’ve been listening for the last few weeks, you’ll know that moving forward is something of a current theme here. However, normally, synchronicities are something of a hit and miss affair and, if we were to wait on the next one or two, we could be waiting some time. In any event, synchronicities tend to happen when least expected - s...

What got you to where you are will not get you to where you could go. I didn't say get you to "where you want" because few people truly know what they want, fewer know how to get it and most think that what they want will never happen because... of there they are! You don't need to know what you want, you need to know where you are. Everything starts in the here and now. And that means that, to mo...

From being lost in thought and preoccupied, to effortlessness to manifestation, this episode takes you on an adventure from the ordinary to the extraordinary - an adventure that you can choose to take at any moment, at every moment. We explore how to discover your true nature and how that true nature enables you live like you mean it, moment-to-moment, without you having to deliberately decide to...

We're being, as always, entirely practical in this episode - we're exploring how to make the right impression and change your life. And that change is immediate - no five-year plans required! And that change is effortless - all that is required for you to live your "best" life is to turn up to it, in the here and now. We cover career, parenting, relationships, self-love, happiness, calm and joy in...

Don't go changing! Don't plan forward! Just turn up to your life in the here and now. In this life of yours, you don’t need to know where you’re going, you need to know where you are! That's the simple, key and life-changing message in this episode. And there's a whole heap of science to confirm what happens to you and for you when you turn up to the here and now. What happens to you? The very sha...

Your life can change in a moment - a moment otherwise known as "the here and now". And, yet, very few people on this planet turn up to the here and now or even know how to do that. And that turns out to be the most important thing that you need to do in your life today. If you don't, you're not living, you're merely existing. And, when we merely exist, nothing ever changes. And, I assume, as we al...

Yes, life doesn't have to be a struggle, regardless of what you think about what's actually going on in your life right now or your previous "failures". Yes, you can allow what's best for you come about in your life by allowing yourself be. A lot of "allowing" going on here. And this is the secret to a wonderful life. We're constantly plagued by one of our thinking mind's greatest drawbacks... wan...

You have a choice - you can either use your mind normally and, in the process, allow your normal thinking mind abuse you or... You can take charge of your inner world and transform your outer world and, while you're at it, the lives of those around you and, as if that weren't wonderful enough, add your little bit of joy and calm to a world that badly needs it. In this episode, we explore how to do...

Words have power - we explore that a little at the outset in this episode. But that's only a prelude to a flow of information and insight that, I hope, will allow you awaken, know yourself, experience your inner power and, then, allow it to be unleashed on a waiting world, starting with what you might consider to be your own "little world". There's a lot of "allowing" going on here. Truth is, we d...

Yes, the gift is your's to give - you can give yourself everything your heart desires - it simply depends on a couple of fundamental choices that you need to make. In this episode, we explore one of life's burning questions: What Do You Want Out of Life? But we explore it in a way that might surprise you. In doing so, you'll discover, that all that's best in life is sitting right in front of you,...

It's all around us - we may even be a player in the normal crazy game. Yes, inappropriate behaviour abounds and is, as we speak, ruining lives. All reaction is inappropriate because all reaction is automatic and defensive - that's how the normal mind works and that's what we're seeing around us everywhere we look. To make this world a better place - and, by that I mean, to make your life less stre...

We're making lifestyle choices all the time - the kind of choices that amount to a matter of life and death... your's. We're not aware of this because we do it automatically. And, because we do it automatically, not only are we "blissfully" unaware, we're also regularly making the wrong choices. In this episode, we explore, for starters, the very real and negative implications of "living" this way...

No, we're not talking about selfishness and greed in this episode! In fact, we're talking about the exact opposite - the one thing that you, that anyone, can do for the good of everyone, starting with the most important person in your life... you. Step-by-step, throughout the day, instructions are provided in this episode - the steps that we all must take to start the day like we mean it and to ke...

We're exploring so-called emotions in this episode - "so-called" because most emotions are simply and destructively the product of thought. Yes the automated thoughts that enable us make it through the day are the self-same automated thoughts that make us think that we're angry, fearful, anxious, lonely... you name it, it's all thought-induced. So, in this episode, we explore action not reaction,...

All is well. You'll have heard me repeat that on many occasions, you'll have heard that from the Buddha, the Bible, Anthony deMello, not to mention all the modern "gurus"! But look at the world. Look at your everyday life. Is all really well? Or are we fooling ourselves with the worst form of wishful thinking when we endeavour to convince ourselves that all is well? Well! That's what we explore in...

What we need is encouragement to start doing and keep doing what we need to do to move ourselves forward. What we don't need is courage - once you stop thinking that "Little Old Me" can't take the required actions to move your life forward, neither courage nor bravery is required - to quote Nike, you just do it - what it happens to be. And you do it effortlessly - that's one of the key messages to...

Yes, the title's a giveaway - this episode provides you with the simple instructions to achieve whatever you want this year or, even better, what's best for you - which, more often than not, is not the same thing! We're talking, health, wealth, success, happiness, peace of mind, fitness, weight (there are some specific instructions in relation to weight loss), business, career, relationships, pare...

It's the year end and the start of a new year. All of which is actually irrelevant because any now is a new and unique moment where anything and everything can happen, where we create and recreate ourselves and our lives, our everyday lives. So, in this episode, we have explicit instructions as to what you need to do to catapult yourself into the life that is best for you. To fire that catapult, y...

This episode is crammed with advice, suggestions and recommendations starting with - something that I haven't done in this podcast before - a load of reading recommendations. And, after all my recommendations, I then advise you... not to read them! Why? All the books in the world, all the science in the world doesn't matter - they're not going to change your life or your experience of it. You're t...

In this episode, we're exploring the sure fire things that will hold you back from getting what you want... trying and wanting. Of course, both trying and wanting are, as we explore, thinking mind activities and, as such, are bound to throw a spanner in your works! That's why we get into the detail of how to get the one real road-block to your happiness and success out of your way - your automatic...

We're exploring how our mind provides us with all the insight and inspiration that we need when it is liberated from the drag of automated, repetitive, ruminative everyday useless, toxic thought. Whether it's while we sleep (that's why, if you have in important decision to make, you should always "sleep on it") or when we're in Flow (that's why we really do need to cultivate our experience of Flow...
