We all expect certain things from life such as having a career that fulfills us, meeting our soul mate - the person who understands you completely and to be happy and healthy. Those were your expectations and it's great if everything went as planned but what if life panned out differently?

These curve balls can come in all shapes and sizes, for some of us it’s an illness, for others it could be the loss of someone important or not achieving something which seem to flip our expectations on their head.

In this episode, we’re going to discuss how to deal with these curve balls and actually use them as stepping stones into a fantastic life.

Recently we have become inspired by the work of Dr Claire Weekes and her book 'Self Help For Your Nerves' which was recommended by a client of ours.

Her philosophy is that our most effective defense against anxiety attacks involves the use of paradox; meaning doing the opposite of what you think you should do when dealing with these feelings. She recommends four methods of dealing with these symptoms which are: face the symptoms - do not run away; accept what is taking place - do not fight it; float with your feelings - do not tense and let time pass - do not be impatient.

The lesson from Dr Claire Weekes is that it’s your attitude or approach matter more than techniques you’re using to try and combat your issues.  We discuss this fascinating topic in this episode.

We are discussing the consequences of saying 'yes' to everything and how you can learn to say 'no' and claim back your choice.
