Aaron Solly had all the reasons to rely on anti-depressants for the rest of his life: losing an important figure as a child, low self confidence, sadness, fear of facing his feelings.

In this remarkable interview he shares how he explored the deep reasons behind his depression,  expressed what he had repressed for years, and found himself in the process.

He now helps others to do the same as a counsellor and coach. 

Check him out at: https://yourlifelivedwell.co/ There, you can download a 100-page book preview and listen to his podcast, too.

Research shows that giving responsibilities helps more than we think!

“Change is the end result of all true learning.” (Leo Buscaglia)

Do you agree with Leo? I do. Education is power. Yet, so many spend their time unfulfilled  and in chronic distress because their lack of education is stemming from - and also causing - a lesser quality of life, worse health outcomes and lack of opportunities.

I am not advocating a world-wide rush to gain a university degree but I invite all of us to consider  learning new skills, and to develop a love for life learning, which will improve our mental health, our socio-economic situation and our self reliance.

In this episode I will be sharing some concepts from the NCBI site  Study of 2019 'Education Improves Public Health and Promotes Health Equity' which concludes that,

“Education improves health because it increases effective agency, enhancing a sense of personal control that encourages and enables a healthy lifestyle. Education’s beneficial effects are pervasive, cumulative, and self-amplifying, growing across the life course.”

Tune in to learn more and be inspired by the achievements of many dyslexic people who have become scientists, artists and even Presidents by looking at their challenge as an opportunity to grow.

We live in an uncertain world where our economic situation, our health an our freedom can deteriorate at any time. What can we do about it?

We can learn about self reliance and plan ahead for what is more likely to happen to our family, our city or country. When we consider what lies ahead, what type of education and skills will we need? What type of job will be more helpful? Can we lower our debt and learn to live within our means?

By preparing now we will feel more peaceful.

In this episode I will share what happens when we allow painful past events, mistakes and experiences to influence our present mindset.

As long as we carry a heavy emotional luggage our future is polluted.

Learn how to look at the future with an eye open for new possibilites!

Millions of people suffer from depression but relatively few openly talk about it, especially men. Having intense feelings or being suicidal is not something to be ashamed of. Instead we can recognise the symptoms, seek for help and learn that feeling better is possible. 

In this episode I quote author Matt Haigh whose awesome book you can buy here: https://amzn.to/3Dl3lAy

Aged 24, Matt Haig's world caved in. He could see no way to go on living. This is the true story of how he came through crisis, triumphed over an illness that almost destroyed him and learned to live again.   If someone you care about has depression, give him this book!
