    The Much Better You - Episode 47 - Be A People Displeaser

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 47 of The Much Better You podcast: Be a People Displeaser. In this episode we explore why people pleasing is detrimental to one's wellbeing when not aligned with our own values, and what simple measures we can take to stop doing it.  --- Somewhat linked to this, the following post seemed to grab some attention on The Much Better You podcast facebook discussion group, so may resonate with you also: "While many will wish they could change their lives for the better, they will not.  For change requires courage - a willingness to step into the unknown, to be judged and to risk failure whatever ‘failure’ means to them.  Far easier to stick with the status quo - for even if life is mediocre at best, at least it’s safe and predictable.  Far easier to have excuses: I don’t have time, I’m not good enough, ‘once X happens, only then will I be able to do Y’, etc.  Nonsense. Even if others buy your excuses, deep down, you will always know you’re full of s**t. So, you’ll think less of yourself. Most prefer chronic disappointment to uncertain growth. But what if failure is not such a bad thing after all?  What if it’s a wonderful teacher?  What if you can honestly say to yourself: hell, at least I tried. Maybe I can try again?  Maybe I can try something else? Trying builds character, resilience, self-belief and more data on what may work the next time. Objectively, true failure is the lack of courage to even try." --- (Warning: contains hard truths and an AI spaghetti western show down. Who will win?) Original episode music - 'SHWN (edit)' and 'She's only happy in control'  by RomanoIsSolo. I also stole some Ennio Morricone music from the wonderful Sergio Leone movie: For a Few Dollars More.

    The Much Better You - Episode 44 - Are You Sitting Uncomfortably?

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 44 of - The Much Better You - podcast: Are You Sitting Uncomfortably? In this swashbuckling episode we explore how discomfort has been engineered out of so many aspects of our lives, how our wellbeing and resilience is suffering as a result, and why + how we should re-introduce some discomfort/stress back into our lives! --- The Discomfort Taster Menu (as per episode) Choose one item from each column, 3–5 days per week. A) Body discomfort (safe, controlled) Pick one: End your shower with 30 seconds of cold.Take stairs instead of lifts (as a rule).Walk in bad weather anyway (not a thunderstorm, nutter)Do 10 minutes of movement even when you “can’t be bothered.”Sleep with the room slightly cooler.Do a short strength session (even push-ups against a wall counts).THIS works because your nervous system learns “I can tolerate this,” which generalises. B) Social discomfort (confidence upgrade) Pick one: Say the honest thing you’re avoiding (kindly).Ask for something you want (and survive the no).Share your work publicly (even if imperfect).Make the phone call instead of texting.Give a compliment without being weird about it.Do something mildly embarrassing on purpose (safe contexts only).This works because it breaks fear of judgement, which runs half of human anxiety.   C) Mind discomfort (stop outsourcing your brain) Pick one: Sit in silence for 5 minutes. No phone, podcast or no “productivity.”Do the boring admin task you’ve avoided for weeks.Read something challenging for 10 minutes.Journal one uncomfortable truth.Do the “one hard thing” first thing in the day.This works because it trains focus and reduces avoidance loops. --- **WARNING: Episode contains background noise inc. AI munching, horror movies, main roads and the Mrs** Episode original music 'I don't know why (mainly piano) by RomanoIsSolo and 'Quiet Life' by LEIKA - other LEIKA and RomanoIsSolo songs available on Spotify, Apple or Amazon Music.
