Pete Mosley - Diary of an Intronaut petemosley

Our ability to think is a double-edged sword. As a tool for creativity and problem solving, thinking is a wonderful ability indeed. But when the table turns and our thinking takes a negative turn, or persistent thought patterns become destructive rumination, our happiness and well-being take a nosedive.   
The saving grace is somewhat paradoxical. We can neutralise the negative thinking courtesy of our ability to think about our thoughts. Once we develop the skill of thinking about thinking, we can bring our rumination under control, and we can get a bit better at managing where to place our attention. 
In this episode I explore ways in which we can manage a troublesome thought stream, and further reduce our stress levels by combining this technique with some simple breathing exercises.

In this short piece, I talk about creating confidence at a point of uncertainty. Just enough confidence to do whatever is necessary and to provide space to reflect and plan the next single step. True confidence requires that you work in the moment and stay away from both the troubles of the past and worries about an uncertain future. Thinking about the next move is always conjecture. Build confidence for this moment.
 

Quiet comes in many forms. Introversion, shyness, lack of confidence perhaps - but there are many more powerful forces that can be at work when someone is, or becomes, quiet. Is it my job as coach to help release someone from a prison of quiet - or to help them live a happy and fulfilled life as a quiet person?

if you don’t consider yourself to be an expert, reframe it this way. It’s not about status - it’s about behaviour over time. A true expert sets out to learn, to show up and to share for the benefit of others. 

We all aspire to be authentic - to be genuine, straightforward and believable. However, it's not a title we can simply bestow upon ourselves. How can we go about getting it? And where do we get it from?

It's hard to talk about yourself - so here's how to get other people to do it for you. Getting your ideas featured in print - or on blogs or podcasts - is the fastest way to grow an audience that isn't limited to your own pool of connections or social media followers. And it gives a huge boost to your profile and credibility. In this episode I share some simple techniques to help you make this happen.
