How to Think Like an Optimist – Choose Your Outlook for Better Results.

Wednesday Jul 10, 2024
You don't have to be an optimist to learn to think positively about yourself and the future. You can learn the skills and reap the benefits of optimism.
Learning optimism and teaching ourselves to use it by choice can have far reaching consequences that reach deep into our unconscious processes and create emotional and physical resilience. Even if it doesn’t suit you to take a positive outlook, becoming more resilient should still be of interest for its proven advantages when dealing with the unavoidable setback and adversity that life throws at us.

3 Questions to Ask When you Need to De-Stress
Monday Jul 01, 2024
Monday Jul 01, 2024
Here's a simple formula to help you manage the stress in your life. Stress is everywhere, we all experience it to some degree. But, although we acknowledge it and it gets talked about a lot, the advice we get is often rather banal and not a lot of practical value (slow down, simplify your life, get a hobby…).
Contours stress can lead to overwhelm, but there are simple ways to take the pressure off and build your resilience to the pressure.
My way starts with three simple questions that lead you straight into thinking about what you can do to reduce the stress you are experiencing.

What it Means to be Free; the Journey to Realness, with Oli Anderson

Learn What it Means to be Free through the Journey to Realness with my guest, Oli Anderson, Transformational Coach and author. He explains why he thinks that "99% of our problems in life are caused by our mis-perceptions of what is actually real".
We explore how becoming more self-aware can help you understand and break free from negative habits and inhibiting beliefs.
We discuss the importance of 'realness' and accepting all parts of yourself, including shame, which he says is a major obstacle for many people. The aim is to to grow and develop self-compassion, with new understanding that can lead to a life that reflects your true values and purpose, benefiting both you and those around you.
Oli eloquently describes how being real and authentic fosters genuine connections, creativity, and meaningful contributions, leading to a more harmonious and fulfilling life. Join us to see why being real is key to success –because "real always works".

Embrace Your Imperfections and Move Forward in Life

Rather than perceiving imperfections as shortcomings, view them as reservoirs of strength.
Embracing the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi involves recognising the beauty in imperfections, and applying this mindset to your life can be transformative.
Understanding that perfection is an unattainable standard and accepting yourself allows more time and mental energy to grow. What sets you apart is the unique mosaic of your flaws.

Correcting the Myth about Confidence – Tinycast #30

Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
There’s a myth that confidence is something your either have or don’t have. While some of us seem to be naturally more outgoing, ready to engage, and sure of our actions, it doesn’t follow that we are confident in everything we do. We are all under-confident in some things, sometimes.

How to Defeat Rumination and Overthinking – Tinycast #29

Overthinking happens when you overanalyse or overthink a problem to a point where it seems impossible to move forward or find a solution. You can’t make a decision, nor take action… You are stuck in an endless cycle of rumination.
Instead of problem-solving, you dwell on an issue without finding a rational solution. It becomes an endless cycle of negativity that constantly plays on your mind.
