    Setting Boundaries

    I hear a lot of people setting boundaries because someone is triggering them and then complaining because that person has violated their boundary. Firstly, I think the word triggered is overused and we should be replacing it with the word stimulus. Triggered for me suggests that the other person is the cause of our anxiety which puts the ball well and truly in their court. They have all the power. When we see this person as the stimulus we can see them more as an object that our brain has created an association with and is then creating the appropriate response to correspond with that association. This approach gives us our control back. Then we can set our boundaries because we realise that this person is not the cause of the pain, they are just the stimulus. I teach people not to set boundaries in an attempt to control others or from a place of frustration because that just doesn't work. We want to set boundaries to get control back of our lives and to protect our relationships. In that case we need a good, loving reason why when we are setting them and enforce them from a loving place. Have a listen and see what you think.

    Marginal Gains and Letting Go

    In this episode I discuss with my good friend Ron Hill about the benefits of marginal gains and getting out of the 'All or Nothing' thinking that so many perfectionists get stuck in, leading to them giving up, being de-motivated and often feeling lost. We also ricocheted into the topic of letting go of needing a particular outcome and how it can actually make you more motivated, successful and fulfilled. We often think we have to 'need' something to be driven to get it, but as Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy say in the Gap and the Gain, a need is a sign of an unresolved internal conflict. In other words, we might be trying to achieve some goal because we are trying to prove that we are good enough. We are then attached to that goal because we need to achieve it for our sense of value and worth as a person. When we approach it like this, any sort of failure has a huge impact and we never actually feel fulfilled. We hold back and don;t go 'all in' because failure is now personal. On paper we might appear successful, but inside we are still struggling because all the external achievements in the world can't make you believe that you are good enough, that's an internal game. When we separate our self worth from the achievement we experience less anxiety and find the calm and fulfillment we have been striving for. Do we still strive for more? Of course we do, because as humans we are designed to evolve but it no longer means anything about our sense of worth and value as a person. Now we can go all in, fail big and it mean nothing about us.  That is true freedom! Watch it on YouTube https://youtu.be/rbJ3lRabLOM

    Stop vaping, drinking and overeating easily!

    Most people rely on willpower to stop bad habits but willpower is finite and we either end up folding or even if it works in one area we find ourselves creating new bad habits in other areas. In this episode I will explain why. Link to the YouTube video https://youtu.be/Q2sWdl7OIeM Jonny

    Think - Do - Reward

    In this episode I am going to discuss what I believe to be the downsides of this approach. Our brain works on reward and when we start rewarding ourselves for activities we find hard to do then we end up making the activity harder in the long run. Would love your thoughts about this.

    The Expectation Effect

    So often we feel disappointed and frustrated because things haven't worked out as we thought they would. What we don't realise is that we are the cause of that negativity. We think it is reality that is the problem but actually it was our expectation that was incorrect. Our expectation is an imagined future. It doesn't exist, we have just projected what we think the outcome and the path to that outcome should be. It's the gap between expectation and reality that causes us the real pain. On the flip side, when reality is better than expected we feel really good. This is because dopamine is released in the brain when our reality is better than what we expected. When reality does not measure up to expectation our brain signals to stop releasing dopamine and this is where the discomfort comes from.  To watch the YouTube clip click the link below. https://youtu.be/UZopj79pT7w

    The Two Darts

    The two darts is a Buddhist concept that describes how pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. The first dart is the unavoidable pain of life, both physically and emotionally. This is unavoidable and we will all experience it. The second dart is the suffering that we add by the way we frame the pain we are experiencing. This part is optional. Often we throw second darts when first darts haven't even been thrown. Take control of your second darts and watch your life improve.
