Slow down and take some time for yourself.  The power of slowing down is life-changing, for me this conversation about slowing down is fundamental to who we are as human beings.In this show, we look at the power of slowing down 
During the interview podcast, we talk about contribution and how we contribute to ourselves. We live this life for ourselves although we do things for other people, it is about us our life journey and our experience. We can only discover this stuff by asking the right questions and giving space to hear the answers. 
So much of the time we spend either looking forward or looking backwards, I have been here. The action of living in the moment is about slowing down to appreciate what we have, finding a moment of grace, a time just to breathe and be.
It’s no wonder that the world is fascinated by mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, and these internal practices are so popular. It is because we are crying out to discover how to put something back into our lives. That something is most probably meaning, but that is another conversation. 
When we take a moment to slow down and connect with who we are and understand what we want in this moment, it connects us to the bigger picture.Check out the podcast and see how taking time to slow down might be just what you need.

In this eye-opening episode, Paul Harvey, a reputable midlife coach, delves into the intricacies of managing and expressing anger. Opening a candid dialogue, he explores the reasons we experience anger and how it can potentially shape our perspectives and actions in life.Harvey elucidates the societal and cultural factors that could influence how we perceive or suppress anger. He brings to light the damaging impact of pent-up anger and the importance of dealing with frustration early on, before it escalates to a full-scale rage, adding a unique insight to the discussion from personal development work experiences.He emphasizes the need for safe outlets to vent anger and cautions against prolonging the resolution of contentious issues, as this might eventually lead to explosive outcomes. Harvey provides practical tips and suggestions, urging listeners to resort to safe physical expressions or therapeutic assistance when needed.Furthermore, Harvey underlines how young children can be ideal models in handling anger due to their honest and immediate expression of emotions. He ends the episode with inspiring examples of individuals who harnessed their anger to champion monumental societal changes. This refreshing episode encourages healthy communication, promotes self-exploration and attests to the transformative power inherent in appropriately harnessed anger.

The Red Mist of Anger

Our guest on the show was 19 when he enlisted in the US Coast Guard reserve as a hospital corpsman trainee. He was sent to Government Island in San Francisco Bay to help and care for the troops returning from Vietnam and the Mekon Delta. It was a life-changing event for this young man. He discovered how caring and peace are fundamentally connected. It set a career in the caring profession, not as a nurse or doctor but as a planner.He went on to become a planning and design consultant. He facilitated innovative management operations and new facility development for more than 120 hospitals all over the USA. His skill set was in demand outside the US, and he and his wife travelled the world advising hospitals and care facilities. His work was about creating environments for optimal patient and staff care.
. Over his 40-year career, he has set up facilities all over the world, working in Vietnam, Nigeria, Kenya, and many others. He was particularly proud of his work in Myanmar, where they created a system to serve remote communities. 
Jeff is now retired from the business he created and spends time writing and speaking on podcast stages. He believed that humanity needs a second evolution that leads to deep peace, which can only be found through caring.We cover my usual question, but our conversation concerns the human bond of caring and community. It was about how society must learn from the past and stop repeating our history. 
Jeff encapsulated his thoughts on caring and peace in his first book.To care for peace - a global mandate to secure the second human evolution in perpetuity—THE PROCESS IS THE SOLUTION, In his opinion, it is a process.Check out the book on amazon and the website at www.CareforPeace.org

Jeff Hardy : To Care for Peace

What makes people Attractive or Unattractive? Join me this reflection as we navigate the narrow alleyways of personal human experiences,  Today we delve into the unexplored psyche of why some people draw us towards them while others tend to repel us, unearthing the often-underestimated importance of the narratives we build around ourselves.
This reflective podcast investigates the notion of charisma and how it plays a crucial role in our interactions, evoking a sense of belonging and being valued. Delving deeper, we will discover how shared interests gel people together while those radiating joy and positivity become magnets for others. On the contrary, those who incessantly share their pain and grievances are often found to repel others.
This podcast unpacks the impact of our focus on negative or positive aspects of life and shows that our attention governs our experience. Discover how simple, open-ended questions can steer our negatively challenged friends towards positivity. Thoughts are shared on dealing with difficult situations and people who thrive on drama, illuminating the power of choice in these difficult scenarios.

Shortcast : Attractive or Unattractive

A flashback to January 2021 with Jonathan Nazario: I was looking for a show to reshare with you today, and I wondered what happened to Jonathan, given we are three years on.At the time of recording, Jonathon was 17. The book is still available on Amazon, but his social chnnels look dormant. I have reached out, and I will see what transpires. If you are interested in Focus coaching the link is here, and at the bottom.   
 
______________________________________________________This podcast brings a different perspective to my usual conversations because, unlike most of my guests, Jonathon Nazario is just 17 years old, which, from my (57-year-old) perspective, is the very beginning of life’s experiences.
His book is called Society, The World In Which We Live and is a self-help philosophical mix that is his take on the world, highlighting human behaviour, education, and the business world.
When this young author approached me through one of the podcast matching sites. I have to admit, my old cynic reared its head and said
“What can a 17-year-old possibly know about Life, Passion and Business?”
 
Intrigued to know more, I followed through with an introductory chat that turned into a refreshing conversation and an invitation to come on the podcast.
In this programme, we discuss his personal view of success, contribution, and the meaning of life. Jonathon has big plans for the future and a vision that includes exceeding his personal expectations.
Despite being an old cynic, it is refreshing to hear the perspective of one so young. With his positive mindset, Jonathon will likely fulfil his vision, and I hope I have the opportunity to catch up with him again in 10 years to see how things are going.
If you want to catch up with Jonathon Nazario, you can find his book on  Amazon.com. Given that we are three years old, the social links seem to be dormant.

Jonathon Nazario and his Book Society

In this show we are looking at the power of appreciation. It is so easy to underappreciate people and take things for granted. In this shortcast, we will explore the impact of showing gratitude and appreciating others.
Appreciation is an indispensable tool that can significantly improve our lives. It has a chain reaction; when we appreciate someone or appreciate ourselves, it boosts our morale, making us better, efficient and productive. Join me as we unravel the power of appreciation, gratitude and how it can help make our lives better.
Appreciate people around you, work colleagues, and even ourselves. I know from experience that showing appreciation and gratitude makes a massive difference in people's lives. Acknowledging people's efforts, no matter how small, goes a long way than we can imagine. It uplifts their spirit and makes you feel good about yourself.
Expect insights, tips, and tools that can help you better appreciate yourself and people around you, and the difference it can make in your life. So tune in and let's explore the power of appreciation and gratitude.
Share your thoughts on appreciation and how you might need support with self-appreciation. Do check out the Unsung Heroes podcast, as mentioned in the show. It is a very short podcast that appreciates those who have gone above and beyond. Remember, with anything good you've enjoyed, share it with a friend.  That's how people find good podcasts.
