A New Way of Being

A New Way of Being Podcast

A New Way of Being is about realising that we are already enough. Most of us don’t feel that way because we get trapped in the illusion created by the voice in our heads. So much of today’s High Performance culture stems from a sense of inadequacy, pushing us to chase what we already are. But it’s a trap—you can’t become what you already are. This isn’t about being passive or lazy, but about shifting our intention. Instead of proving our worth, we express it. Previous guests include Jonny Wilkinson, Pippa Grange, Caitlyn Jenner, Sam Harris, Rupert Spira and many more thought leaders.

    How to harness 'vasopressin bonding' for real intimacy - and challenging the 'anxious-avoidant attachment trap'

    What attachment style are you - anxious, avoidant or secure? Our attachment style forms as a result of our relationships with our parents and primary caregivers. In this bitesize episode, we are focussing on how to enjoy the honeymoon phase over and over again - through vasopressin bonding. This is vital for developing true long-lasting intimacy, and is key to understand, particularly if you tend to have either an anxious or avoidant attachment style.

    How to stop overthinking - tools, techniques, insights and powerful recognitions: Andrew Sewell

    Are you familiar with worrying about the future or dwelling on the past? Then this conversation is for you. It's all about ways to free yourself from being caught up in the head - and stop your mind from using you, and get back to being able to use your mind, which is after all a wonderful tool (but a terrible master!). We all love it when the mind quietens - when in flow or looking at a beautiful sunset for example - but struggle when it fires back up, and make a mistake by then trying to control or suppress thoughts. We discuss simple techniques and powerful tools that aren't about futile control and explore deep game-changing insights and recognitions.

    How to unwind anxiety - using a paradoxical but powerful approach: Dr Guy Meadows

    No one likes experiencing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, like anxiety. However, the more we fight our internal experience, the more likely it is to fight back. Rather than resisting the internal experience we don't want to feel, by urning towards them and even welcoming them - it can have a powerful positive effect, as Dr. guy explains.

    How to embrace perspective and be more positive - with the professional rugby player turned walking quadriplegic and now movie star Ed Jackson

    Ed Jackson is a bloody inspiration. He was a professional rugby player before his career was cut short when he dived into a swimming pool and broke his neck. He nearly died and was told he would not walk again. But Ed worked his butt off and confounded the critics, going on to make a remarkable recovery - and has since developed something of a penchant for climbing mountains. And now, a movie has been made about his remarkable story, called The Mountain Within Me. It's currently in UK cinemas, and I can't recommend going to see it enough. This is a rerelease of the first conversation Ed and I had a few years ago, and I am chuffed that his epic story continues to develop in such impactful ways.

    Top Neuroscientist: Being sedentary is killing you - here's why you need to embrace consistent low grade exercise like walking THROUGHOUT the day

    Being sedentary is a killer. Our ancestors walked 15 plus miles a day most days of the week. Not for its health benefits, but because it was weaved into their day naturally. The problem now is that our lives are designed to be sedentary - think cars, desks and sofas - and so we have to be very conscious about fitting in regular lower level exercise like walking THROUGHOUT the day. Just going to the gym after work won't cut it - in fact it may be counterproductive. Here's what we talk about in this episode The five key personality traits negatively impacted by being sedentary The sedentary component for depression Which TYPES of anxiety are ameliorated by reducing a sedentary lifestyle Mobility and its effect on inflammation The relationship between movement and cortisol The negative impact of being sedentary and then working out in the gym in a one-hour burst YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Website: simonmundie.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ ** My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success By Losing Yourself challenges our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and LASTING fulfilment are actually to be found.
