Make It Count

This week we're discussing the intriguing idea of what tomorrow owes you based on your yesterdays. Thanks to a quote we both independently highlighted from one of our favourite fiction authors. 

“Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that…  And no less. Sometimes folk wish tomorrow did not pay them off so completely.” 
- Robin Hobb, The Mad Ship

They say there’s three things you don’t talk about at a dinner party: Religion, politics and death. Well we recommend that you best not play this episode at a dinner party then! 

Many of us live in what some have called a "first half of life" culture, we celebrate the young and beautiful. Yet despite our attempts to ignore it and pretend we're going to live forever  death is an unavoidable reality. 

Many through the ages have actually found it powerful and meaningful to actively be reminded of the brevity of life and reflect on how soon we too will be passing on. This week we're asking whether they are onto something and what reflecting on death can teach us about life.

The world is noisier and busier than ever, and this week we’re having a conversation about Ryan Holiday’s helpful book where he argues for stillness in three key areas:

• Stillness of the mind, 
• Stillness of the soul, and 
• Stillness of the body.

So grab a cup of tea (or coffee), get yourself comfortable and enjoy listening as we play with this radical idea of stillness in a restless world.

We believe in both the power and the joy of reading. Yet apparently the average person reads only 4 books a year*. 

Join us this week as we discuss why many of us find it difficult to read more even though we know it is good for us. If you find yourself thinking “I wish I could read more books” then we’ve got a treat for you, inspired by an article giving 7 ways to read more books this year. 

Read the Inc.com article here.

*if you have the contact details for the average person we’d love to interview them since they are quoted in so many important statistics!

Mindset matters, it can set the tone of our days and the energy that we bring to life. It is all too easy to settle into negative patterns of thinking and talking, the language we use (or think in) influences us significantly and can either keep us stuck or be a tool to help us live by design. 

As we start out the new year we’re exploring three important mindset shifts that will help us to make it count in 2024 and beyond. 

Mindset shift # 3 is letting go of worry, releasing the desire to control, and getting excited instead!*

Tune in to find out more.

*Sometimes getting excited isn’t what is called for.

Your mindset matters, it can set the tone of your day and the energy that you bring to life. It is all too easy to settle into negative patterns of thinking and talking, the language you use (or think in) influences you significantly. It can either keep you stuck in default or be a tool to help you live by design. 

As we start out the new year we’re exploring three important mindset shifts that will help us to make it count in 2024 and beyond. 

Mindset shift #2 is from "If only…" to "Next time…" 

Tune in to find out more. You really don’t have to, but if you want to, you get to!

New Year!
Fresh starts, new resolutions, the days getting longer!
Cold nights, old habits reappearing, the dark days of winter lingering long beyond their welcome...

New year can be a time we look forward to with hope and anticipation of what may come, or a time we dread with a sense of foreboding, as we look back on a hard year and wonder will next year really be any better?

Life can often feel like an unending treadmill, we’re constantly running from one thing to the next... perhaps we've lost the art of marking the seasons. the natural endings and beginnings which give rhythm and invite us to pause.

This week we’re looking at  why endings and beginnings can be hard, how we can recapture the connection between them, and navigating the new year together.

For those wanting to dive deeper here's a flashback to episode 17.

This episode was inspired by a quote from Arthur Schopenhauer (a philosopher and author):

“You may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself; because only through ordering what you know by comparing every truth with every other truth can you take complete possession of your knowledge and get it into your power."

It’s not only Jedi that can use the force... Every object exerts a “habit force field” that tells us what to do with it.  This week we’re unpacking how the objects around us influence our actions and asking: "Are we powerless or can we make our environment work for us?

This episode is based on a fascinating article that David read (no surprises there), sent to Matt who took a long time getting round to reading it (also no surprises there)!
