A New Way of Being

A New Way of Being is about banishing burnout and finding flow. The way most of us live is focused on 'arriving' at some point in the future, when everything will finally fall into place. But this is a trap. When we treat this moment as a stepping stone to a seemingly more important future moment, we risk never truly living. This constant seeking leads to burnout, and a nagging sense of lack - as if something is always missing. It keeps us from experiencing the flow, awe, and peace that naturally arise when we embrace THIS moment, however it happens to show up.

    Step Into 2025: Why Walking is the Ultimate Brain Booster

    It’s a new year – and there’s no better time to start a habit that could transform your mind and body. Most of us walk – but almost none of us walk enough. We’re a sedentary species, and it’s only gotten worse in recent years. But here’s the truth: our bodies weren’t built for all this sitting. Walking isn’t just movement – it’s a powerhouse for health. It supports our organs, aids digestion, slows brain aging, and sharpens creativity. Neuroscientist and bestselling author Shane O’Mara is here to explain why getting more steps in each day can transform your mind, mood, and body. From lowering stress to sparking fresh ideas, Shane’s message is simple: walking works. So if you’re looking for one small but powerful change to kick off the year, this episode will remind you why it’s time to step up – literally.

    Your Willpower Is Weak – But Your Design Power Is Strong (90-Second Reminder)

    Beating yourself up because you scroll more than you want to? Stop it. Just understand that our willpower is not strong enough to continually resist the lure of the hyper addictive smartphone. So what to do? Embrace your design power. Make it harder to use your phone. Get a lock case. Consider buying a backup 'dumb phone'. I did this and turn my smartphone off in the evenings and weekends, and the people who need me can still get in touch. It has been SO liberating! This principle of understanding the limitations of our willpower and embracing our design power can be used to improve your life across the board - from what you eat to how you focus.

    Beyond Burnout: Embracing Rest and Self-Compassion with Fiona Agombar

    How to Reconnect with Your Inner Wisdom and Find True Wellbeing. At this time of New Year resolutions, it’s easy to fall into the trap of pushing harder and faster. But in a world already moving at breakneck speed, chronic stress, overwhelm, and burnout have become alarmingly common. This episode offers a vital alternative: the power of rest. My guest, Fiona Agombar, is a yoga therapist, rest activist, and author of Breathe, Rest, Recover. Having experienced severe burnout herself as a high-flying business owner, Fiona knows firsthand the life-changing impact of embracing rest without shame or guilt. She shares how rest not only helps us recover but also reconnects us with our inner wisdom and reveals what we truly want from life. We discuss the profound benefits of slowing down, tuning into the body, and practising self-compassion. Fiona also highlights practical ways to integrate rest into daily life, from conscious breathing and micro-breaks to managing "tech apnea"—the impact of constant screen use on breathing and stress levels. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to break free from the relentless pace of modern life. Topics covered: The concept of rest activism and why reintroducing rest and convalescence into modern life is essential. Why people struggle to rest and the dangers of ignoring signs from our body. How interoception and tuning into inner wisdom can aid in overcoming stress and burnout. Fiona’s personal journey of healing from chronic illness through yoga and self-inquiry. Practical strategies for rest and recovery, including conscious breathing and micro-breaks. The effects of news consumption and technology on our wellbeing and mental health. The importance of recognising the background aware presence that is always available.

    Digital Overload: Deep Work and Digital Minimalism with Cal Newport

    Smartphones and social media are making us more anxious, distracted, and disconnected. In this episode, I revisit my conversation with Cal Newport, author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism. Cal explores how our increasing reliance on smartphones and social media is eroding our ability to focus, perform deep work, and even be alone with our thoughts. He explains how the iGen generation (born 1995–2012) has been particularly affected, with alarming rates of mental health issues linked to the constant presence of digital distractions. For the first time in human history, we can avoid solitude entirely—yet this avoidance comes at a huge cost. As I reflect on these themes, I also want to share my FREE online course on beating burnout and finding flow. The tools and strategies I teach have transformed my life and are designed to help you reduce overwhelm, improve focus, and find flow, peace and creativity: 🔗 Free course on beating burnout and finding flow: https://www.simonmundie.com/beat-burnout-mini-course 📖 Featured guest: Cal Newport, author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism.

    Why Multitasking Is Ruining Your Brain (And How to Fix It) – With Johann Hari

    The cost of constant distractions and how to get your focus back. In this episode, we explore the huge cognitive cost of constantly checking your phone and how it impacts your ability to focus and perform at your best. My guest is Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus, who sheds light on the “switch cost effect” – the mental toll of constantly switching between tasks. Johann explains how multitasking lowers your IQ in the short term, even more so than smoking weed, and offers simple steps to rediscover the joy of focus. One of these steps is pre-commitment, a strategy that involves binding your future self to stay on task. We also discuss how focus is the gateway to achieving flow, the state in which we feel and perform at our peak. In a world that’s increasingly demanding our attention, it’s more important than ever to find ways to reset, refocus, and get back into flow. To help with this, I’ve created a free mini-course to help you beat burnout and improve your focus. In just a few minutes a day, I share proven techniques to help you reset and find that much-needed flow. This course is available for a limited time, and I would love for you to join me and let me know what you think.

    The End of Self-Improvement: Joan Tollifson on the Art of Just Being

    In this episode, we explore a thought-provoking question: Is self-improvement really the path to happiness, or is it a trap that keeps us chasing something we already have? My guest is Joan Tollifson, an author, teacher, and lifelong explorer of the nature of being. Together, we discuss why the idea of “improving yourself” is inherently flawed, how meditation helps us access peace and creativity, and the value of simply taking some moment to 'be' in our lives. We also touch on: What actually is the “self” we’re trying to improve? Recognising the aware presence that doesn't need improving Meditation and its many different forms - and how we both 'do it' The power of taking moments of stillness to just 'be' The opportunity that being triggered presents us with Finding peace and ease by dropping the stories we tell ourselves My free mini-course on Beating Burnout and Finding Flow: https://www.simonmundie.com/beat-burnout-mini-course Joan's website: https://www.joantollifson.com/ Joan's Substack: https://joantollifson.substack.com/ My book: https://www.simonmundie.com/book Website: simonmundie.com YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Substack: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Joan's books include Bare-Bones Meditation: Waking Up from the Story of My Life (1996); Awake in the Heartland: The Ecstasy of What Is (2003); Painting the Sidewalk with Water: Talks and Dialogs about Nonduality (2010); Nothing to Grasp (2012); and Death: The End of Self-Improvement (2019).
