Flip The Script

I give a eulogy for the late DMX who passed this week. I also talk about two areas of life he taught me a lot about. Getting up when you fall and forgiving yourself for mistakes and regrets. Allowing yourself to move forward with your life.

In this episode i talk about "Checking In" with yourself regularly. I also cover the concept of the "Pot of Gold" of life. Lets fill it with gold coins.

This episode could be called The Mike Tyson Conundrum Part 2. But it focuses more on the motive behind the two inner voices in our heads. The “Selfs”. The Ego Self and the Authentic Self. Figuring out that I spent far too much time in the former allowed me to listen to the latter. And it changed my life.

In this Episode I tell a story from Irish Folklore. I talk about the history of the natural world and of the nations of the world and how I'm trying to be a good custodian of the land. 

We think. And we Overthink. We all do it. And if we think of overthinking as a seed we can either fuel it to grow or neglect it and let it fizzle away. 

This episode is all about neglecting those seeds and learning from our experiences. Some WW2 history and psychological theory thrown in for good measure. 

(I recorded this weeks episode Outside!) I have noticed a need in me to be productive all of the time. To be constantly doing something. I don't. And you don't. I talk about inverted U curves, the concept of relative deprivation and Bullfinches and how generally delightful they are.

In this episode I talk about my own definition of Endurance. How Ultra Marathon is life a microcosm of life and has taught me to how to keep my head above water when the seas of life get rough. 

In this episode I discuss my relationship with food and body image. I am delighted with how female body positivity has grown in recent years and I hope shed light on Male body image through my own experience. I also talk strategies I use to have a better relationship with food and my image.

I'm asked often "how have you managed to stay on track all this time?" It is through the use of Self Accountability and Compassion - The Author State. I explain how I am still discovering new aspects of this state in my every day life.

This weeks episode is all about failing! It happens to us all and sometimes when we least expect it. I always heard people talking about learning for failures and only in the past few years have I been able to do this. In this episode I discuss how I dress the wounds of failure and how I use them as a valuable learning tool.
