In this episode we talk about the ebbs and flows that life brings and using this time to reflect on what kind of year you have had. Coming away from this episode with 2 motives that we talk about in how we can continue how we are into the new year without feeling guilty of indulging throughout Christmas. As that is the best time of the year to indulge and let go. I for one will be drinking a bottle of Baileys on Christmas day.
Have a great Christmas break and I will see you in the new year.

In this episode we dive into Meta Programs as defined in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Asking ourselves the questions of where do we sit on each Meta Program Continuum.
Helping to understand this will allow us to understand ourselves better and understand how others operate. This is a crucial skill in any work environment to build social intelligence so you can be ahead of the game.
Any questions?

One of the hardest things to do in the human experience, knowing how to change and the process that requires. In order to change as a human, it takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of back and forth, negative emotions. The ups and the downs, people don't actively work on changing because they don't want to change. They swim in their own problems and they become addicted to their misery. Don't become that person, become curious on how to change.
In this episode, we go through a 6 step framework on understanding your change. The trials and tribulations involved and most importantly being aware of your change.
Awareness is the first step. Then the rest will become easier the more aware and intentional you become. That is the path to embodying a new version of yourself.

In this practical meditation, we practice how we can tap into the observer perspective in an accessible meditation. Practicing this skill is fundamental to our emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Not enough people can do this effectively and it will cost them a tonne of wasted emotional energy and a lot of stress to. Therefore its paramount to become that person away from others who don't practice it.
Keep showing up for yourself, you are doing great. One foot infront of the other!

In this episode we dive into how to handle stress more effectively, what that means and how to become more intelligent beings during the process.
There are two types of people, those who don't know how to handle stress effectively and react too easily to things. There are those who know how to handle stress in a more healthy manner and don't react as much to things that they can't control.
This is a spectrum however we want to become those people who know how to navigate stress with more ease, intention and therefore be healthier.

In this episode we dive into signs that show you are healing on your spiritual path/self development journey. We can often overlook these in strife for more (as human nature goes). Healing is subtle, its minute shifts over time that allow us to embody a new version of ourselves that we dont notice initially.
Appreciate how far you have come, recognise these signs and give yourself a pat on the back for your growth.

In this episode we dive into what Ikagai is, how we can apply it to our lives no matter what kind of situation we are in. We also go through some of the book 'Ikagai' where we talk about the 5 lessons that are key to a long and happy life, learning from Japanese people who have embodied this philosophy their whole life.
There is a reason Japan has one of the highest life expectancies of the world, I truly believe we can learn from them as the eastern way is far greater ahead than the western way.

In this beginner exercise, we plant the seed for you to start programming your subconscious. Knowing how to create a space for yourself to slow down, feed your body with words to start shifting away from survival and into creation.
This alone won't change anything but it will communicate to yourself that you are ready to enter a new era of your journey of empowerment and transformation from the inside.
One step at a time
