The problem with positive thinking strategies is they don't seem to work... and it requires more effort from us to constantly try and see the positive in every negative....

What if we're missing the point? what if theres a simpler way?

In this episode, I explain what I mean.

If you want to be more present with loved ones....

Connect deeper with your other half....

Connect more with those around you?

Or even get out of your thinking and into the present moment....this might be of interest to you

People give way too much of a fuck about things that aren’t worth giving a fuck about....

And if they gave less of a fuck about things that aren’t fuck worthy....

They’d have more space to give a fuck about the things that DO really matter...

Sometimes when you get sucked into the rabbit hole of life, it’s actually worth asking yourself ‘why do I care so much? Does this REALLY matter as much as I think it does?’

Ever noticed when shit hits the fan everything seems a problem and it's difficult to gain some perspective or prioritise our energy and focus.

Everything feels overwhelming and the stress can make us either angry and wanna fuck shit up or makes us feel like burying our head in the sand...

It's difficult to pin point what the problem is and therefore, difficult to find the solution....

This episode will help you find perspective and also explore two simple ways of settling down into a more resourceful, peaceful, powerful state....

What is ego? Are you egotistical?

Who are you? What if you aren't what you think you are?

Is stress real or made up?

What if you're wrong about what you think you want? or what you think is making you unhappy?

What if you're making this all up? and all your stress and unhappiness is self created? (as well as your happiness)

I believe at our core we are playful and creative…

We love the feeling of creation; seeing our dreams and ideas come into life and our desires being fulfilled

We love standing on the edge of the unknown, courageously going after what we want because it feels like we have no other choice….

We first set out to chase our dreams, no matter how wild they are and no matter how many people say ‘yeah right!’...

We step out of our comfort zone with determination, passion, awe and wonder knowing that we can’t lose…

We feel fully alive…

Neither free from fear or paralysed by fear, but acting in spite of it and getting a weird kick out of the fact that we have no idea how this will end…. But we have a very strong gut feeling that says ‘im gonna do this, just watch me’

The problem is, as we create our dream lives, build our businesses, grow our family and create our home….

It all starts to get ‘serious’

We start to play safe, to protect what we have….

Risks feel ‘too big’

And we do what we think is right rather than what our heart desires…

Our dream life becomes a prison….like a hamster on a wheel…running faster but never arriving...

This is what I talk about in todays episode....

This is the biggest ‘thought pattern’ that has people...

- Constantly chasing but never arriving...

- Feeling angry, stressed and irritable despite having a life that ‘should make them happy’...

- Chasing happiness and fulfilment but never feeling it...

- Feeling like ‘something is missing’ but not knowing what...

- Feeling unfulfilled despite continually achieving their goals...

It reinvents itself time and time again, and whispers quietly in your ear that ‘if only I had X then I would finally feel Y’..... it’s a very convincing illusion but here’s another way of looking at it
