SELF Care 101

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how streaming tv shows can actually help to open the heart and mind.

We ridicule watching shows but this is our reality. I still of course encourage connection and engagement but if we are to watch tv, how about doing it with some intention? I’m not talking about documentaries but actually watching some incredible shows that offer some perspective into the way we are living our lives.

I’ve picked 3 shows that inspire me personally and they are also the shows that I’ll recommend to my clients as a starting point to help them be more open in heart and mind.

When we are willing to be more open, we get to experience life on a whole new level. That’s what watching these shows can do for you, if you’re willing to do things a little differently.

I’d love to know if you’ve watched anything in your life that has had a profound affect on you too.

I’m back. That was a much longer break than I had planned for the show but it was definitely needed. To my loyal listeners, thank you for still being here and bearing with me. For new listeners, welcome, this show is about being real and supporting each other in this thing called life.

I’m starting the new season with a topic that’s resonated with me these past few months and one that I think more of us should tap into for better wellbeing and most importantly for taking our experience of life to the next level.

So why should you follow your soul’s bliss? Because too many of us follow the path that everyone else expects us to follow. That may work for some people but for many, at some point in life, they realise that what they’re doing doesn’t actually equate to the happiness and fulfilment they thought it would bring.

We know this story, don’t we? For those of you who have been here for a while, you’ll know about the expectations of others and why it’s so important for us to follow the call of going against the status quo but how can we do it without risking everything that keeps us safe and secure?

Well that’s what I’m delving into in today’s episode. I’ll be sharing why it’s so important to follow your soul’s bliss and how you can do it without compromising other important areas of your life.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style - Maya Angelou

 Since 2020 and the pandemic, I’ve been surviving. You probably have to. But I know in my heart, I’m someone who needs to thrive.

When I look back on this year, whilst I haven't achieved all the results I wanted, I have achieved my goals. In today’s show, I’m going to discuss the difference between the two as it’s a very key difference and the ultimate difference between failure and quitting.

This one isn't for the faint-hearted. It's bold and unapologetically direct. 

Coming up to the end of 2022. What an intense couple of years we’ve had. How has it been for you? Are you stronger or weaker? Are you more resilient? Have your ambitions changed? Have your values changed? What will you do in 2023?

If you want your life to be different, you have to build resilience. You have to build self-belief. You have to remain focussed on your mission and most importantly, you have to be accountable. Without any of these, you will become a victim to the turmoil of our current world.

It starts with you making the choice to do it differently. It starts with you committing to yourself for the greater good.

Do you ever go on social media and get bored? Seeing the same old same old from influencers, brands and celebrities? Do you endlessly scroll reels and TikToks, come out of the app and find yourself back in again within minutes?

That’s the dopamine effect.

But what if what you’re consuming on social media is actually making you feel worse about yourself and your problems - your mental health and wellbeing?

In today’s episode, I’m having a frank conversation with Alex Partridge who is one of the pioneers of social media content the way we know it today. At age 21 in 2010, while a student at Oxford Brookes University, he founded UNILAD, one of the most popular social news and entertainment Internet companies in the world with an astonishing following of 50 million people around the globe. In 2012, Alex founded LADBible which would also grow to become a social media juggernaut.

Whilst the episode shares our opinions, there’s some food thought that I hope will enable you to decipher which accounts and behaviours are to your benefit when you’re scrolling on social media.

In this episode I'm sharing a powerful tool that I use with my clients called what makes a good, great, amazing day? This tool is a brilliant way to begin a self-development journey especially if you find yourself lacking time to implement other things.

Edward M. Hallowell, is an expert in attention deficit disorder (ADD) and he likens the experience of busyness to that of people suffering from ADD.

Being busy, rather than focused on the big stuff, is more like ADD rather than being the super-effective person we aspire to be.

I’ve been on a bit of bold discovery journey these past few months and I’m not mad at it. I’ve learned so much about myself, my work and how I show up in the world and you know what? I want to be louder.

 One of the things that I tend to downplay is the success my clients achieve as a result of working with me. Sound familiar? 

My clients say the work we do together is "life-changing." And so today, my dear podcast listener, I want to share with you 5 tools that have changed the lives of so many of my clients. Give them a go yourself and let me know how you get on.

Creating meaningful connections starts with creating a meaningful life.

Whenever there's a problem, we tend to look outside of ourselves before looking inward but what we truly want is lying deep within us.

If you know what a meaningful life looks like and you begin to live it, you will naturally seek the meaningful connections to enhance your life.

Expecting others to give you what you need will almost always end in failure.

So be brave, go within, who are you? What do you bring to the table? What are you curious about?

Yes, SELF Care 101 is back. I had a serious wobble which I share with you in the show but first, I address why it happened because there’s a huge learning here for us all.

We must give ourselves permission to slow down.
