  • What’s the fuel for your fire?
    Sometimes you just need to rekindle your fire, learn and be inspired by other people.
    I'm talking at the Podcasting Marketing Summit on January 9th-11th 2018. All online, all free.
    You can’t just do the thing you want to do, and constantly get better.
    You need to see what other people are doing too. Absorb. Learn. Be inspired.
    If you write, you need to read.
    If you speak, you need to listen to other people speak.
    You need to get ideas.
    You need to discover your fuel.
    My fuel for my fire
    Speaking
    Listening to talks
    Listening to podcasts
    Reading
    Exercising
    I know that when I do those things it puts me in a better mood to do the things that are important.

  • Never Give Up On Yourself
    There's only one thing that matters, and that's you. Never give up on that.
    Life is sometimes easy. Life is sometimes hard.
    Sometimes you know what you’re doing with your life.
    Sometimes you feel lost.
    Sometimes you’ll feel amazing.
    Sometimes you’ll feel rubbish.
    Sometimes you’ll feel like a failure.
    Sometimes you’ll forget your failures.
    Never give up on the only thing that matters though. Yourself.

  • How To Get Over Your Flaws
    We've all got flaws, and sometimes you need to learn to get over them.
    We’ve all got flaws.
    Most of us aren’t aware of our own flaws, because most of us aren’t self aware.
    I choose to pay attention to them and try and change myself if its important.
    Occasionally I also try changing myself in some ways that I don’t really think need changing, just to try it on for size (no beer/no bad food)
    How to get over your flaws
    Be open and honest with your friends (and have good friends).
    Listen to what people say about you, and listen to what people say.
    Don’t get offended.
    Pause and reflect.
    Decide whether to take action or not. You have a choice.
    Take action. Change yourself (or not).

  • An Introduction To Journaling
    Today I talk about journaling, and about how I approach it.
    The Daily Stoic Journal
    I’ve spent the last 4 months (started at the beginning of August) writing in a journal nearly daily.
    I’ve done it lots of ways, right and wrong. And I think I’ve finally worked out how to do it properly.
    What is journaling?
    Computer/Paper
    Why should you do it?
    Self awareness
    Peaceful mind
    Develops mindfulness
    Helps see patterns
    Relaxing
    Can actually replace meditation
    Improves your writing 
    How I started journaling the wrong way
    Freeform journaling
    How I now journal the right way
    Ask questions
    Smaller chunks more often: morning, midday, right before bed
    Setup a templateThe questions I ask myself
    How am I feeling right now?
    How am I feeling about the day ahead?
    What can I accept that I can’t change?
    What is the most important (not urgent) thing that I do?
    What have I agreed to do, that I do not want to do?
    Who do I need to be for this day to work?
    What can I do today that will be a unique expression of me?
    What small steps can I take to show that I am serious about loving myself?
    What would scare me slightly that I could do today?
    Where is my attention going right now?
    How am I not being generous (with my time/words/presence)?
    How am I feeling right now?
    What was the most important thing I did today?
    How do I feel right now?
    What has brought me the most joy today?
    What caused me the most inner conflict and stress?
    Do I need to clear anything up?
    What did I learn?
    What’s one idea you had today?
    What am I grateful for?
    What do I need to let go?
