Welcome to another episode of Creating Change with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 6: In today’s episode I share a few tips in how to make affirmations more successful - they can work and here are some powerful, practical tips that some people often forget about.

What Are affirmations?

[1:20] - There are a few secrets in making affirmations work.

[1:42] - What are affirmations? Simply put.

The Power of The Mind

[2.45] - The unconscious mind and the conscious mind and why knowing how our mind works is so important.

[3:40] - Why people self-sabotage and how this is linked to the unconscious mind.

[5:00] - How we filter our reality and that each person has their own ‘map of the world’.

[6:04] - If there are limiting beliefs in conflict with affirmations then it can take a long time to start experiencing benefits from affirmations.

The ‘When’ And ‘How’ Are Important

[9:22] - How I personally use affirmations.

[10:00] - When we’re moving out and into the sleep state. This is when our unconscious can absorb so much more.

[10:35] I have affirmations as my alarm clock and why this is such a powerful way to use affirmations.

Coming Back to The Present

[12:00] - The present tense and positive language are important, saying what we want, not what we don’t.

Welcome to the episode number 5 of the Creating Change Podcast with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 5: In today’s episode I share how we can start awakening to the magic of life, to feel even more fulfilled, happy and satisfied in life through the simple daily experiences of life.

External Life

[2:08] - There are two main aspects of awakening to the magic of life - external and Internal.

[2:19] - Awakening to the external magic of life, the little (BIG) things in life. Bird song, seeing the sunset, smell of a flower, hugs.

[3:54] - What Human Beings are here to experience in this human life.

[5:20] - The more we see, hear and feel, the more we tap into our senses, that we smell and we taste, experiencing life in that present moment the more we pick up on all these little (BIG) things, all these gifts.

Internal Life

[9.16] - Awakening to the magic of life within, the internal, every inhale and exhale.

[10.30] - Awakening to the life within us. Reconnecting to the breath and heartbeat.

Welcome to this new episode of the Creating Change Podcast with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 4: In this episode I talk about something that many people have been struggling with; Anxiety. Practical tips and tools that helped me navigate and let go of weekly panic attacks – creating more calm in life.

The Root of Anxiety

[1:25] - Uncertainty in itself is not an issue, it’s what stories we create about uncertainty that produces anxious feelings. It can bring opportunities and gifts, though out of protection many of us have learned to fear it.

Symptoms of Panic Attacks

[2:25] - Panic attack symptoms can vary from heart palpitations, feeling out of breath, sweatiness, vertigo, and feeling faint.

How to Handle Panic Attacks

[3:33] - One of the things that helped me with anxiety was being aware of my thoughts. As soon as she started to change the story within my mind, I could navigate the situation with more ease. Awareness is a key factor in reversing negative dialogue and rewriting the story.

Rewrite the Story

[4:51] - Everything is interlinked mind and body. What we’re thinking about affects our feelings and physiology.

My Relationship with Caffeine

[6:20] - NLP, acupuncture, and cutting out all caffeine. Here I explain how I reacted to caffeine and how it was a key component in my experience with anxiety and panic.

Simple yet Effective

[7:49] - Coming back to one point of focus because when there is anxiety or a sense of overwhelm, we are focusing on too many things at once.

Types of Overwhelm

[8:50] - Here I discuss external and internal overwhelm. They are interlinked though some people can be triggered by one more than the other.

[9:47] - The healing powers of nature.

[10:24] - Ways to navigate internal overwhelm.

A Simple Tool To Reconnect

[11:42] - Bring your attention to one point only and breathe deeply. Then notice what shifts as you do that. Placing our hand over our heart and whispering to ourselves, “I’m here.”

Move the Body

[12:36] - Move the body. Dancing, exercising, cycling, a walk in nature.

[14:01] – No excuses.

EPISODE 3: In this episode I share a powerful perspective on LIFE and Human Beings. A simple, straightforward way of seeing things, seeing who we are, which can be life transforming. If ever you’ve felt overwhelmed and fed up, listen to this super useful bitesize episode.

Go back to the Basics

[2:03] - Simple things are often the most powerful. Simplicity is where so much can be birthed, realised, and transformed.

[2:45] - Modern-day life is crazy enough, especially with the last couple of years on this planet. When we come back to the basics it can be a life changing moment.

Rhythm of Life

[3.21] - Song that I discuss... Enough To Believe by Bob Moses.

[4:24] – The powerful perspective that came to me whilst dancing. I became aware of a key component of music and applied that perspective of music to human beings.

[6:05] - “Underneath a song, there’s this beat.” The mind loves to create stories, but underneath it all, within each being, there’s always this one thing – life.

The Heartbeat Within

[7:11] - If there are moments when we feel like giving up, mind focused on everything going wrong – reconnect to the life within. The heart is still beating, the inhale and exhale is still flowing.

Recognising the Difference in our Life

[8:29] - The mind is powerful, it’s something to use, not something to lead our lives with. Everything can shift when we go back to the simplicity and to that life that’s within us.

Back to the Body

[10:02] – By coming back down into the body we can view whatever situation we’re in with different eyes. Feeling more grounded, calmer able to navigate things more easily.

Get Curious

[11:02] - Get curious when listening to music, listen to the lyrics. Then notice that beat, rhythm, and that life within that whole song. Notice your thoughts, what you’re focused on, and recognise there’s also life within.

EPISODE 2: Here is part two of the introduction (if you haven’t listened to episode one yet, go back and listen to that first). In this episode I share key moments in what led me to create my training Creating Change: The Art of Expansion, Connection & Celebration and how we can start falling back in love with ourselves and life.

Bringing in Creativity

[1:36] – How I started to see the light and shadow within everything, and a big part of me that was missing from my work.

Life and Death

[3:01] - When I was teaching NLP, a friend passed away which awakened me to life and death and how fragile life is.

Acknowledging Emotions

[4:09] – When I felt hurt and betrayed by a dear friend, and how I created a safe haven to acknowledge my feelings, explore, and try different embodiment practices. Through that process, things started to shift.

Taking Things to the Next Level

[5:31] – I started to get insights, techniques, and creative processes. Through the process of acknowledging my emotions, I began to get ideas. I realised that I needed to take my work to the next level and this was where Creating Change the training was born.

Falling in Love with Life

[7:16] - I learned to fall back in love with myself again after experiencing deep hurt and rejection. Being tender with myself for the first time. The experience I had taught me different ways to relate to myself.

Reconnection and Creating Change

[8:22] - I don’t believe in fixing people, it’s about recognising the truth of who we are. Creating Change is all about reconnection. It’s about reconnecting with ourselves, others, nature, our body, and something beyond our identity.

Creating Something Authentic

[9:40] - Everything I experienced and learned over the last ten years became the foundation to launch my own training. With my love and passion for teaching and life, I support students around the world in falling back in love with themselves and life.

Welcome to the first episode of the Creating Change Podcast with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 1: I’m Emma, your host and welcome to part one of a two-part introduction. In this episode, I share a funny synchronicity that occurred in creating this podcast, life-changing experiences and valuable lessons I gained in the last 10 years that have led me to where I am today.

The Dreamer

[2:36] - My dreams when I was younger and what my friend at school thought of it.

[4:01] - Beauty in life’s cycles, looking back at my life and how far I’ve come and how we can rewrite stories and create new opportunities for ourselves.

Synchronicities in Life

[5:28] - Funny true story and how I knew I was on the right track creating this podcast.

[6:14] - After a relationship breakup, I left my job and moved to Barcelona – new chapter in life. Fear, uncertainty and my experience with anxiety and panic attacks.

The Power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming

[8:10] - The codification of why and how we do “what we do” and creating changes at an unconscious level. The lightbulb moment when I realised that I had been the one influencing my emotional states.

[11:44] - After a very profound experience in Menorca, I started to see the light and shadow within everything. It’s not about fixing ourselves - it’s about reconnecting to who we truly are deep within.

Opening our Eyes to what Unfolds

[15:16] - Life is beautiful, there are many hidden messages when we open up our eyes with open curiosity and without expectation.

[17:07] - After my experience in Menorca, I realised what everything was really about. The trip to Menorca lifted a veil and making me aware of an important perspective in life.

Tending to Emotions

[18:48] - Whenever certain emotions arise returning to the inhale, exhale, and be present with that. Emotions are messengers.

Do something you Enjoy

[19:52] - I started to question everything, recognising the importance of doing what we enjoy in an aligned way.
