Changing Habits - Changing Lives

On this episode I am joined by Dr Keith Amoss. Our discussion centred around our values. Do we know what they? Do they change over time?

Keith goes through an exercise to help discover what are our values, so have a some paper and a pen handy when we get to that part. If you want to do the exercise then after the first set of instructions pause the podcast and come back to when you written down your thoughts.

We conversation took a few twists and turns as we explored topics linked to values and how behave.

Keith has extensive knowledge and experience with his PhD which included studying Human Values. Check his full profile on his website in the links below.

My guest on this episode is Angie Chaplin. When we first spoke, it was about Mindful Leadership and the plan was to cover things leaders can do to be more mindful, more aware or what's happening around them, within their organisations, and in particular the lives of their people. With all the turmoil over the last 18 months it is a great topic to explore.

However, whenever you start having a chat with someone, you discover a little more about them. And as we talked it became clear there were aspects of Angie's life, and her fights which would be helpful to others.

Hence the title "From Addiction to Mindful Leadership" because Angie will be speaking about her decade long alcohol addiction, and how she changed to fight and overcome this challenge. Then we look at her work with leaders in different companies and how she helps them become mindful leaders.

There's plenty of tips in the talk and I love the part where Angie asks leaders to show her their calendar to see if it stands up to what they say are their values!

The self-help industry is massive. It's worth billions of dollars a year. Books play a significant part in it. Books come about because someone has a story to tell and share how they made changes to their life, or the author wants to share their method of change they used for themselves or with other people. Many times it's just an opinion which they think works.

There are countless books from the days of Napoleon Hill to James Clear (Atomic Habits) and many more nowadays. Making sense of all the information and content has become a challenge.

Having a lot of choice, on the face of it, seems a good place to me. But is it? How do you know what works?

I share four areas which I think you need to consider when it comes to reading self help books:

* The science (or no science!) in the book

* The options and frequency of books

* The methodologies of each book/author

* And what do you do next?

What do you think?

We all have tough days at work. We all have days when we know we need to get things done but just don't feel like doing anything.

There could be all sorts of reason to feel this way. And this the time when you must show up. This is when you must push beyond the feelings and get on with it.

Even if we don't feel like working or perhaps are not enjoying what you're doing there is a way to help you get through and finish the day productively.

I cover four key things you can do to help you get organised and get the work done. It will take some practise and if you can keep to a similar routine on the days you are feeling positive it will make much easier to carry through the same activities when you are not feeling so motivated. Which is my you should never relay on motivation! (see earlier episode on not relying on motivation).

Have a listen and if you found it helpful, please share the podcast with one person you.

Thank you and enjoy the episode.

You may remember my guest Janine Mitchell from episode 76 when we talked about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

On today's episode, Janine is talking about part of her life when she found herself in an abusive relationship. As you will hear at the time there were no clear signs it was going to become an abusive relationship. Now, looking back she can join some of the dots which would have given her some early signs.

When we are in the thick of it, it's difficult to see what is really going on. And the abuser, the manipulator will make it appear it's your fault or it's just in your head.

Janine talks about what happened, the stages the relationships went through, and what steps she took to leave. There are some great insights and advice from Janine if you find yourself in a controlling and abusive relationship.

For people who may have friends stuck in such relationships you can help. Be there to listen and give support when your friend wants it, and when they decide to step out of their circumstance.

Mental and Physical resilience are linked. They go hand in hand and will support each other.

But what we believe about mental resilience isn't accurate. At one point I thought, as did many others, it was some sort of shield. If I could become mentally resilient then I could weather everything and anything which the world could throw at me.

We don't come through tough times unscathed but we can learn to deal with those time much better and get through them, if you build you resilience well before the tough times. Listen to some suggestions.

Sounds simple - Smile

Listen to the short Sunday episode and give it go!
