  • 1.3. Next Level Relationships

    In this episode we'll talk about how we can free ourselves from the perceived lack of love in our romantic world. We'll discuss tools and topics that aim to help you create love in your life, regardless of your relationship status.

    What are relationships for? 

    • Relationships are not there to fill a need.
    • Relationships are there to share.
    • If you feel a lack of love, let's start giving yourself that love. How do you do that?

      1. Create a bucket list for your life - what would you love to experience?
      2. Immediately start working towards living that bucket list
      3. As you start to fall in love with your own life, everyone in it will feel the same. 

        The One vs. the Many

        What if there are many people that are there for you? You don't need to search for the one, there are many out there for you. Lastly, if you're in a love relationship right now, get Dr. Gary Chapman's book on the 5 love languages - it'll be great here.

      4. 1.2. The Future of Work

        In this episode we discuss some developments in the workplace and how you can adapt to make the most of your business or your role. Lately many companies have been shifting towards a 4-day work week. But is that really the smartest thing to do?

        If you want to reduce the time you work while maintaining or increasing your output, there are three helpful tools:

        1. Essentialism by Greg McKeown - This book shows you how you can focus on less and actually make more happen. Make a decision that makes 1000 via core values and so much more. To discover your own core values, you can get my book on love - use the exercise in chapter 4 to create your core values.
        2. Tracking your time (e.g. with Toggl) - Tracking your time allows you to see really how much time you spend on what & also be focused when you do work. Even if you forget to track in the moment, reflect at the end of your work day and add in the numbers.
        3. Transparency using Dashboards & OKRs - Teams need trust. Trust is developed through transparency and understanding. The book called: The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni talks about just that. OKRs are a goal setting methodology developed by Google that can come in quite handy.
        4. Remember that Parkinson's Law states that work will always fill the time that you give it. Give it less time and it shall adapt.

        5. 1.1. Who are you?

          Who are you? Let's explore the most powerful question one can ask. Are you your mind? Are you your body? Or if you're none of the two, who are you then?

          In this episode we discuss a question that Michael Singer poses in his program. He is the author of two wildly successful books, The Surrender Experiment & The Untethered Soul, he's also a serial entrepreneur - although he wouldn't strike you as one.

          The question of who we are stands at the core of everything we do in life. Our personalities and identities are often based on this very decision and understanding and with those come our habits and perceived limitations. 

          • Imagine you are not your body - doctors can operate on you, but you're still there with no difference.
          • Imagine you are not your mind - if you dream, how do you know that you dreamed?
          • Because you are not the mind, nor the body, you are the one observing both and experiencing them. If you are awareness itself, your limitations quickly fall away. 

            Try experiencing yourself as pure awareness: Imagine a blue ball in the centre of your head. Move that blue ball through your body and notice how you only pick up information that you place the ball onto. Try placing your awareness on your heart and start speaking. Does it feel odd? Speak to someone like that, notice how your connection is so much deeper.
