Episodes

  1. Do You Want To Calm Your Mind? - Day 589

    Do You Want To Calm Overthinking and Overwhelm?

  2. Do Cliches Put You Off 'Wellness'? - Day 588

    Overuse of terms like 'gratitude' and 'mindfulness' can block the profoundly personal practice of feeling deep appreciation of all that you already are. Doing rather than judging is the important distinction here....look past cliche and try!

  3. Do You Feed Your Thinking Well? - Day 587

    Good thinking needs daily nourishment from an enriching and sustaining pot. Just like eating, we choose what goes in to feed and grow our thought. Nourish thoughts with positives, feed inspiring options to your best you, the once a day then on your way, impacting all you do.

  4. Do You Want To Make Better Choices? - Day 586

    Talking with an old friend words popped out that I never thought I’d say, “Every time I meditate I have a better day”. Meditation works! It clears the decks and calms the choppiest of seas, and from a place of stillness you choose well, with reason and clarity.

  5. Do You Make Excuses All The Time? - Day 585

    Excuses are the words we use to hide truth from ourselves, but simply stop them now and you will free yourself. That our lives are ours is sometimes hard when there are parts that we don’t like, but forgive yourself, be honest, accept and do not hide. Accept the truth that what you want will take...

  6. Do You Block Out Your Feelings? - Day 584

    Choosing positivity does not mean blocking out all pain. It is not negative to feel! Denial is the clogging mud, and truth helps us to heal.

  7. Do You Think Your Story's Told? - Day 583

    In distant tomorrows, what is it you’d truly want to read about your past? Think about that now, then set about the task of being as you truly want, here, today, in now. Write the life you dream of with sweat upon your brow, as it will take effort and it will require carving words in stone…"This…

    more
  8. Do Your Expectations Cause Disappointment? - Day 582

    Expectation is disappointment and anger waiting to happen. We can control what we do but not all the results of our doing, and that’s good, because all the greatness in you is in the now of what you’re pursuing. Put all your focus into what you can control and you care less about what to expect;...

  9. Do You Want To Deflate Conflict? - Day 581

    Dissolve conflict by switching from a need to be understood to a need to understand. Think now of someone that you’re banging up against, locking horns or standing firm…then dissolve this gridlock by changing tact from talk to listening. Then watch as the space you’ve given them to breathe and…

  10. Do You Repeat Your Positives? - Day 580

    Hindsight is the window to what really floats your boat, so go through last year’s calendar to learn what lit you up the most. And see what depressed you, pulled the rug from underneath, then plan more of the positives and know what stuff to leave.

  11. Do You Slip Backwards When Things Are Good? - Day 579

    Almost all of the written advice on keeping going, not giving up and persevering, relates to getting through the hard times. But what of when you’re happy? Do we keep on going then? Or do we down the tools that brought us there? Too often we give up the good practices that brought us such good...

  12. Do You Feel Stuck In Your Ways? - Day 578

    If you feel stuck in your ways, it's because old habits have dug their heals in and want to stay. It’s called homeostasis, which in essence means we physiologically don’t like change. Equilibrium, the middle ground, is in our DNA. But when you really want change, here’s a way to do it...make it...

  13. Do You Want To Feel Connected? - Day 577

    'Giving feels good' sums up finding connection by helping others, and in a world where we are bombarded with doom it’s good to remember that you are a force for good, a tiny flame amongst the gloom. Share that glow and the flame will burn to fire soon. So if you can help to lift someone up to see...

  14. Do You Want To Make Happiness A Habit? - Day 576

    Plant the seed of happiness by changing just your daily habits, the little things you do. You don’t have to notice the change but the change for sure will come, with one small habit formed today, just do it, there, it’s done. This is how you blossom, by making good choices a daily habit. Choose...

  15. Do You Know You Can Use Envy Positively? - Day 575

    You can use envy positively as a guide to what you truly desire. Jealously is best avoided and certainly not dwelt upon but a flash of envy can be used as guide to what you truly want of yourself and then you can act on this. It's most likely that you do not envy those who are not who you'd like…

    more
  16. Do Your Coping Habits Harm You? - Day 574

    Triggered trip switches of what you do when scared can often harm you more than what you feared. When you wake up and notice this you can change how you react, cope by doing something postive and you will grow with that.

  17. Do You Resist Autumn's Return To Routine? - Day 573

    The resistance to change is often the problem and not the change itself. If we change how we see things first, we find that all will be well. But what if we saw these changes as potential to insert and apply new found ways, to lean into the shift, embrace a new chapter and blossom in these…

    more
  18. Do You Use Your Response Ability? - Day 572

    You have the profoundly human freedom of personal responsibility, response ability, your ability to respond. It’s not what life throws at us but how we then react that carves our lives in our character and the life we build from that.

  19. Do You Make The Changes You Want To Be? - Day 571

    Providence helps those who help themselves and the more you practice the luckier you get. The upward spiral, the thoughts become things , the gold coloured spectacles of preference for the positive, the confirmation bias of tuning into the beauty and wonder of this life, well lived. Make the...

  20. Do You Face Your Fears? - Day 570

    Lift the lid on what is holding us back from doing, being and becoming all that we can evolve to be and we find.. FEAR! Fear of failing, fear of leaving, fear of what people think, fear of poverty, fear of loneliness, fear of not being all that we want to be, not being enough. Push past fear, one...

  21. Do You Set Your Goals Too Far Away? - Day 569

    Let your goals be big ones but get your satisfaction from one day well done. If your eyes are too far ahead on the prize, today’s passion remains unstirred. But when you see the goal as the sum of your best today, repeated, your engine is fired up. Break down your actions into manageable chunks…

    more
  22. Do You Overthink Instead Of Trying? - Day 568

    Our ideas need acted on, not thought out beyond a doubt. It’s acting on a vital spark that brings your greatness out. Failing isn’t failing, it’s the tool of victory, the try, try and try again of bringing thoughts into reality. Get ideas out into reality, in all their wondrous, faulty form. Set…

    more
  23. Do You Avoid Doing What You WANT Done? - Day 567

    Too often we blame distractions for keeping us from what we are avoiding. Scape goats appear to block our path to take the blame for our avoidance, noise, children, parents, phone calls and anywhere else we can find annoyance. 'Where we are' is not about the room that we work in, it’s where we…

    more
  24. Do You Want To Change Your Life? - Day 566

    Do you want to change your life? Change your morning. Transform the little things you do each day, your daily best is habit forming. If you change your morning choices your cards fall into place. You are what you decide to be, your morning habits change your days, and your days become your years....

  25. Do You Try Hard Yet Nothing Is Changing? - Day 565

    All great things take their time and nothing gained overnight will last for very long. Trust that in doing your daily best no time is lost or effort gone. Patience is a proactive skill born from knowing why you’re persisting past drudgery and repetition, when it seems that time is resisting. When...

  26. Do You Want To Create Some Consistency? - Day 564

    Life can be hard and we don’t feel like winners everyday, but do these daily practices and you’re winning anyway. The fact that I write this everyday carries with it one huge truth; do these simple practices and consistency is yours! Harmony from inside out, the eye inside the storm, the one foot...

  27. Do You Know What's Right For You? - Day 563

    When tuning in to intuition don’t strain to hear the answer that you want, be still to hear the answer. What you want and what you need are often different things, and your gut feeling does not consider what is easy when it’s choosing. The journey through discomfort to follow what YOU KNOW is…

    more
  28. Do You Need More Energy? - Day 562

    Have you ever needed a nap whilst doing what lights you up? There is an unbreakable and unquestionable link between energy and inspiration. Doing what you love is nature's way of lighting up, transcending tiredness, and over filling that half empty cup. So today, do what you love and see your...

  29. Do You Have Low Self Esteem? - Day 561

    Self esteem is built from estimable actions, it’s not dished out at birth. From doing things you feel are worthwhile you define your worth. Retrain esteem by small victories of doing worthwhile tasks seen through, from deciding to completing, these small wins will rebuild you.

  30. Do You Treat Yourself Well? - Day 560

    Don’t wait for others to make you happy, treat yourself for daily joy! Focus on the things you love, ignore what can annoy. Happiness can be found in a cup of tea, reading, talking, laughs, driving, walking, cooking, running, cold drinks in too hot baths. We can treat ourselves to wellness with…

    more
  31. Do You Want To Create An Upward Spiral? - Day 559

    The upward spiral is pushed, driven by effort and then momentum kicks in. But slowdown and the mechanics grind to a halt, it's not downhill, it’s self propelling. Just a little in the right direction is momentums' greatest friend, one step today towards who you must be inside your head. And the...

  32. Do You Know That Worrying Doesn't Work? - Day 558

    Both worries and dreams are projected fantasy but which you choose to dominate your thinking will dictate what comes about. Fears and hopes haven’t happened yet so put all your chips on dreams. Immerse yourself in this thought and allow the deep realisation to tear you from your attachment to...

  33. Do You Talk Badly To Yourself? - Day 557

    If you spoke to friends as you do to yourself you’d have no friends at all, so rewrite the inner voice that makes you feel weak or small. Take a moment now and step back from your life, remember YOU are your best friend, NOW give you some advice. Use words you’d use for others, and cut out words...

  34. Do You Lose Yourself In Pleasing People? - Day 556

    When trying to be all things to all men we let our own self down. Pleasing all the people, all of the time, can be a heavy torch to drag around. Trying to fit to others' lives perfectly leaves you mishapen and worn. Be your own shape! There’s no perfect fit, you are perfect by being yourself....

  35. Do You Resist The Season Shifting? - Day 555

    Welcoming or resisting change defines how good you feel, we tend to cling to what we have and fill our future days with fear. Just by sitting now and thinking through the warmth on darker nights, of rusting trees in radiant flare, brightens up this passing light. By leaning in instead of yearning...

  36. Do You Hide Your Talents Just To Fit In? - Day 554

    You are allowed to shine as brightly as only you know that you can, to reach, on your own terms, the limits of ‘Who I Am’. Don’t dim your light for anyone, seek no bush to hide your flame, you paint your own picture and only you define the frame. Being less than best to fit how you think others...

  37. Do Problems From Your Past Block Progress? - Day 553

    You can’t think your way out of a problem that your actions got you into. You must act. By doing little bits of what you CAN you build trust in yourself. No longer are you the victim of some imagined force that controls your mind through negative channels of the past. Move forward, build…

    more
  38. Do You Need A Little Lift? - Day 552

    What we give attention to is the recipe of the life we live, so focus on what inspires you to give your life that lift. Today we can do our very best and move, eat well and help. We can find some stillness, work and listen to others...not just ourselves! We can read something that lights us up…

    more
  39. Do You Feel A Little Lost Right Now? - Day 551

    There are few plateaus more confounding than when your purpose seems to wane, but be patient and know it will come back again. Keep on keeping on one day at a time and the world will turn and new purpose will unfold, the fire in you will ignite. And you will feel it’s warming air carry you in new...

  40. Do You Want Something For Stress and Anxiety? - Day 550

    Would you take something if it helped with stress, anxiety, blood pressure and mood? Take it if it helped you focus, boosted your immune system, and rewired your brain to feel good? I’m sure you would so go ahead and take it, and what to take is time. Time to breathe whilst on your own, deeply in...

  41. Do You Want Deep Confidence? - Day 549

    Confidence is learnt from your repeated actions confirmed with results. Confidence is the sculpture formed from the chisel blows of challenge, overcoming fears and finding that you’re fine, pushing past resistance just one more time. Real confidence is learnt from little victories of daily…

    more
  42. Do You Worry About What's Coming? - Day 548

    Are you grasping tightly to something beyond control? Gripping the world's steering wheel whilst letting your best spoil? Spilt milk, others' choices, technology shifts and trends are all beyond your immediate control but should not spell the end. Seize the chance to leap ahead as one that sees…

    more
  43. Do Thoughts Really Become Things? - Day 547

    All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become. This is reiterated by so many exceptional people from Confucius to Gandhi, from Richard Branson to Napoleon Hill, as to make it resonate too strongly to ignore as some magical mumbo jumbo....

  44. Do You Tell People Your True Feelings? - Day 546

    Vulnerability is a strength not a weakness, the antidote to shame and an open hand to connection. When asked "How are you doing?" or "How was your day?" don't say "Fine" or "Yeh, good", just say the truth. Insipid responses dilute our potential to connect with others. So be open, be honest,...

  45. Do You Want To MAKE TIME? - Day 545

    A morning routine doesn’t take time, it makes time. In the stillness of morning you can hear your true voice, and with focused intention you begin with a choice. A choice that will run through the seem of your day, you make time by not doing the things that would get in your way.

  46. Do You Want To See The Bright Side Of Life? - Day 544

    Looking on the brighter side of life doesn’t deny the struggles we sometimes bare, it just reminds us that even through bad times, joy is still there. Beauty still radiates around every corner, winter can’t halt the days getting warmer, the world keeps evolving in eruptions of life, no matter how...

  47. Do You Suffer From Anxiety? - Day 543

    Anxiety is a word that barely touches the size of what we feel when cowering in the terror of the impending doom that has no reason but feels so real. If you suffer at the hands of anxious, sudden fear, know that there are ways to manage that, and you can start right here.

  48. Do You Get Trapped In Overthinking? - Day 542

    Nothing interrupts the strain of overthinking about yourself like thinking not of you but of someone else. This release from the contortions of going round and round ourselves again can come in a simple shop visit for a neighbour, or a call to a weary friend. If you have too much self on your…

    more
  49. Do You Hold Yourself Back By Worrying What Others Think? - Day 541

    If you’re holding yourself hostage to “What will they think?” it’s time to accept that they won’t! This is the real hard hitting release from the prison of ‘everyone’s watching’ when they don’t. The lightness you’ll feel when you accept this, the truth that your life is for you, it’s exciting,...

  50. Do You Binge To Numb Your Feelings? - Day 540

    Think of how often you do things to numb, to avoid uncomfortable feelings, but then what you do, you become. So you have not chosen a huge part of your actions, they were all chosen for you by fear and distraction. Imagine replacing those ticks with some stillness, without numbing behaviours your...
