To Succeed... Just Let Go

We're talking about stepping outside your so-called comfort zone in this episode - you know, the one in which you feel safe but you know to be, at the very least, uncomfortable. In fact, without taking control of what's going on between your two ears, without taking responsibility for your state of mind, that comfort zone is more like a prison cell. Seriously. In this episode, we cover what happen...

We're in between the Christmas festivities and the New Year - often a time for reflection. So, in this episode, I'm telling you not to reflect! Instead, I have a suggestion for you that is far more interesting, one that will offer you the opportunity to get to know yourself in a way that may just fully jolt you into the realisation of your own inner power. Effectively, I'm suggesting an exercise i...

We travel into your inner world in this episode because everything that you think is going on in the so-called real world is created within. That means that you create your own annoyance, frustration, anxiety, loneliness... you name it, you're doing it to yourself - repeatedly. So, if you want to experience peace of mind, that journey starts within. That's great news because it means that that jou...

It's an expression used frequently by my clients and Online Program Owners - "it feels as if things just fall into my lap". In the same vein, they regularly talk about things "occur" to them when they are not thinking about what to do or how to do it, when they are not thinking about worries, problems or challenges, when they're not thinking at all. I've been asked "How do I let what I need fall i...

Here we have a practical walk-through what it means to have all good things just "fall into your lap", what it means to live the life you'd love to live like "it just happens"; how to be "the best version of you" and how synchronicity actually works... in practice. We can talk about the science (we often do!), we can explore the concepts in detail (we often do that too!) and we can discuss the eve...

Now, there's an interesting title for this week's episode - words that the normal mind would consider defeatist! And, as we'll discover in this episode, words have power. So, why are we exploring such anti-aspirational language? The answer is, of course, that we're not! Because I'm not using language in the way in with language is normally used. So, this week, we take further steps on the adventur...

There's a wrestling match going on in your brain's cockpit - and the Automatic Pilot needs to be defeated... your life depends upon it!! Yes, this week we're talking about something beyond the scope of the normal crazy mind, beyond the scope of a mind-on-auto: conscious deliberate choice. Conscious deliberate choice leads to the kind of conscious deliberate action that will change your life. And i...

Generally speaking, people don't know what they're talking about when it comes to focus. I say "generally speaking" because it's 96% true - because normal crazy people cannot focus. Evolution wired the normal brain for something else entirely... survival. That means that your brain is not wired to achieve your goals. It's not wired to enable you live the kind of life you'd love to live. It's wired...

Or, actually, this episode is about liberating yourself from the prison of created by your own thoughts. In this episode we explore right and wrong, good and evil and, when you reflect upon it, you will realise that these are choices with which everyday life confronts us. Say the wrong thing and you throw fuel on the fire, do the wrong thing and dig yourself into a bigger hole. Everyday stuff! But...

Here's the paradox - to just let go you need to take control. So, in this episode, we explore what "taking control" means: scientifically (we explore cognitive psychology, neuroscience and the phenomenon of neuro-plasticity); with real-life examples (I've three important short stories) and with clear instruction (that explain exactly what we're talking about and how to do it). For example, did you...

Wherever you are in life right now, however you feel about your life or any part of it... it's all of your own making. Too many people blame someone else for their current perceived predicament: my parents, my siblings, the way I was bullied at school, how I was abused, my boss, "the system". No! If you feel stuck, stressed, frustrated, fat, thin, an under-achiever... you're to blame, it's your fa...

Even though we explore bullying, parenting, peace of mind and success in this episode, all these things (and your ability to do and achieve effortlessly) all boil down to whether or not you are in Flow. We could put that in a variety of different ways, all of which will give you, for startes, some insight into what we're talking about in this episode. Are you clear and present now? Are you enthusi...

Actually, this episode should be entitled "How and Why to Meditate Properly and What to Expect"... because this conversation covers all that and more. We lay to rest some of the nonsense around meditation - that there's one right way to do it - so many traditions have their "one right way" you could become not just totally confused but disillusioned with the whole notion! I provide practical tips...

The answer to that is an obvious "No"... you change your life yourself. But, as people who have worked with me over the last (almost) 28yrs will know, I can provide the signposts! And, if you're ready to follow the signposts, you're going to go on an amazing adventure - one your thinking mind couldn't even begin to imagine. So, as we get together again, in Episode 146 - after a short break - we're...

Success is effortless when you know how. That's a fact borne out by every single client or Online Program owner with whom I've worked who (to quote many a Program Owner) has "followed the process". When we follow the process, when we make the right choices , we completely alter our experience of the here and now. When we get into the habit of making the right choices , it doesn't just "grow on us"...

In this episode, we race through a variety of different strategies that people use to make themselves "sound more interesting" and feel more important... from labels, to stories, to lies - to lies that normal crazy people actually end up believing! There's obviously a grand purpose to this because, as you'll hear, there's a grand purpose to your life... your purpose in life is to be you. Because y...

In this episode, we're talking about fear - because it's hardwired into us! Fear of failure - weird one, really, because normal crazy people are serial failures; fear of being different; fear of change and, indeed, being afraid of your own shadow (you should be!). But, most interestingly, we explore fear of success. I'll say no more, I don't want to steal my own thunder but... there are strong evo...

I was going to call this episode "Great Expectations" - and, when we delve into the psychology of it all, you'll understand why. But let's cut to the chase: you live and experience your life according to your beliefs. What you believe colours and filters everything. That means, until we take the piece of equipment between our two ears and remake it, what passes for our life will be coloured, filte...

"Ah sure I'm only human" as a client said to me a short while ago. "I still react to situations, but not in the way I used to". What had happened in the meantime? He had embarked on the adventure of self-awareness and self-discovery and, in the process, discovered that, at times, he is super-human. In a world where our brain developed in a lowest-common-denominator way, we need to rise above the m...

We're unpicking the real-life client story from our last episode to ensure that we understand and can act on the two key take-aways that, together, ensure that you can effortlessly allow your life move forward towards your ideal life, encountering many perfect moments along the way, by doing what it takes to follow the signposts offered to you by opportunity and synchronicity. The key take-away fr...

This week's episode follows the story of one of my earlier clients - from his setting his mind to achieve the kind of grand life that his heart desired, through betrayal, disillusionment, mind-games, signs from the universe and the achievement, through action, of his perfect moment. There are multiple lessons we can take from this week's episode: how best to set your mind ; how we need to constant...

Every moment is an opportunity to start afresh: to start the day afresh, to start your life afresh. Every moment presents you with a choice - an opportunity to choose to behave or misbehave, to act or react, to create or destroy. That means, in every moment, we must exercise choice. Sound like a lot of hard work? Exactly the opposite because, as you've heard me say many times, when we hit flow , w...

We're taking one step back in this episode to take a couple of effortless leaps forward! Yes, we start by clarifying the so-called Law of Attraction - we need to be crystal clear that what's called for is moment-to-moment action, not wishing or wishful thinking! This episode also further clarifies mindfulness. This is important and, here, we draw a distinction between pure mindfulness (which will...

We start this episode with some conspiracy facts - not theories! For nature, evolution and education are and have been conspiring against you. Conspiring to prevent you living a happy and successful life. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. What about normal crazy people? What about the tribes into which they band themselves? What if you were cut loose from the herd? What if you were a success...

Your experience of everyday life is entirely in your own hands. Not just that, your success and happiness are of your own making... or not! Same for your health, wealth, fitness, relationships... a list of either endless struggle or, to quote an Online Program Owner, a flowing experience of "deep joy". You already know the science - we've talked about it often enough. You already know that we crea...
