This week Gines and Matt talk about being uncomfortable. 

They explore the value of being uncomfortable and the value of putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations. They share the most recent uncomfortable situations and what they have learned from them.

There is plenty of benefits of playing outside your comfort zone. Let's not try and kid ourselves our comfort zone is nice, it is warm, it is snuggly it is...comfortable.

Nothing extraordinary came from playing within one's comfort zone. Also there nothing wrong with wanting to be ordinary, that is okay. However, if you want to be extraordinary you are going to have to push yourself outside your comfort zone.

This week Gines and Matt chat about the value of learning.

They discuss why we as humans naturally love learning and how curiosity can play a major role in motivating us as adults.

They touch on what may happen if we stop learning and just go through the motions, they theorize why some stop questioning things or striving to develop themselves and what effect that has on the human spirit.

We can choose to learn from everything that happens for us, however that is a choice, that many do not choose. 

Life never stops teaching so why stop learning. Tune in for the reminder you need to kick start your personal development and growth.

We have all been there, Sunday afternoon rolls around and the heavyweight seems to sink in, Monday is coming! We have this connotation about Monday's being dreadful, heavy, non-joy provoking kinda day. This happens when we come back from holidays too...Why is that?

They chat about how you can set up your Monday mornings for a series of green lights. 

Life is too short to not like Mondays. It doesn't have to be always sunshine and rainbows, but what is the overall feeling of Mondays?

"The storm is coming if we like it or not, you can stay inside and whinge about it, or learn to dance in the ran."

This week Gines and Matt chat about Intuition. They discuss the power of intuition and how it can take you from A to Z without having to go through all the other letters of the alphabet. They discuss how for many of us we have never been taught how to activate this super power, in many cases we live in a world that shouts hard work and if you can’t see it it isn’t real.

Most of us have been brought up to believe in the 5 senses.

What about our 6 sense, intuition?

Can it be developed like a muscle?

Why do we struggle to discern the voice of intuition and that of self doubt and what can we do to remedy this???

So join the boys as they unpack this super power and give you ideas to help  develop and trust your intuition.

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

Albeit Einstein.
