• Gratitude Is It Helpful? - Season 2 Ep 16

  In this episode of "The Positivity Project Podcast," we engage in a thoughtful discussion about the transformative power of gratitude. Gratitude is a concept that can be seen from many different perspectives, ranging from its relationship with quantum physics to its everyday practice in our lives. We begin by highlighting the profound impact gratitude can have on our lives. It's more than just a positive emotion; it's a powerful tool for manifestation. Gratitude practices align with the idea that what you focus on grows. I share insights about gratitude journals, a common tool used to practice gratitude daily. And I emphasise the importance of experiencing gratitude on a deeper level, beyond just writing down a list. Gratitude should evoke a genuine feeling, a sense of appreciation that arises from within, rather than being driven by fear or superstition. It's about understanding that we have things in our lives to be grateful for. I touch upon simple acts of gratitude in everyday life like expressing thanks to others, like a shop attendant, but to remember to feel it as well as say it and this can create a powerful sense of gratitude. We discuss how such acts can create a positive chemical response in our bodies, releasing hormones like endorphins that enhance our well-being. The hosts clarify that while practicing gratitude towards others is valuable, we shouldn't expect everyone to pick up on it or respond in kind. The real power of gratitude lies in the transformation it brings within ourselves. It is a personal journey that allows us to experience abundant and positive emotions, eliminating fear and stress, both emotionally and chemically. We wrap up the episode by highlighting the importance of acknowledging the simple blessings we often take for granted, like clean water, electricity, and running water. We encourage listeners to imagine viewing their lives through the eyes of someone who has never experienced these basic amenities. Such a perspective shift can lead to profound moments of gratitude. In conclusion, the hosts share a beautiful daily gratitude practice: reflecting on breath. It's a fundamental, life-sustaining aspect that often goes unnoticed. By simply being grateful for the breath we take, we can begin each day with a profound sense of appreciation. This episode reinforces the incredible power of gratitude and the importance of practicing it not out of obligation but from a place of true feeling. Gratitude, when cultivated authentically, has the potential to transform our lives and set a positive tone for each day.

• Overcoming Self Sabotage - Season 2 Ep 15

  In this episode of "The Positivity Project Podcast," I delve into the intriguing topic of self-sabotage and explore the nuances of this common human behaviour. I speak about addressing self-sabotage, gaining a deeper understanding of its roots, and discovering practical techniques to overcome it. The discussion begins by demystifying the concept of self-sabotage. Self-sabotage refers to a situation where we find ourselves torn between conflicting desires, as if having one foot on the gas and one on the brakes simultaneously. This internal struggle manifests when we face decisions or actions that stir mixed emotions, where part of us wants to proceed while another part hesitates. One of the vital aspects of the podcast is bringing into our awareness our ability to recognise these inner conflicts when they arise during conversations. These internal contradictions often emerge as phrases like "part of me wants this, but part of me wants that." This revelation serves as a starting point for exploring the roots of self-sabotage. To tackle self-sabotage, it's crucial to recognise that our subconscious mind plays a primary role in protecting us. This innate function of the subconscious mind seeks to safeguard us from harm and adverse experiences. However, when conflicting desires and fears arise, they can lead to self-sabotage. I introduce a process to investigate self-sabotage, which involves identifying the primary positive intentions behind these conflicting desires. This process encourages the two opposing aspects of our subconscious mind to communicate and recognize that they both ultimately seek our best well-being. As the discussion unfolds, it's revealed that hope and anticipation can play a significant role in overcoming self-sabotage. Hope acts as a driving force to help us navigate challenges, especially when energy levels are low or when facing self-doubt. I share practical strategies for building hope, such as celebrating small accomplishments and maintaining a sense of purpose. I highlight the importance of releasing fear from past memories that might trigger self-sabotage. By disconnecting emotions from these memories, individuals no longer feel the fear and move forward with confidence. The host emphasises that self-sabotage can be addressed with a process that helps individuals overcome their internal conflicts and achieve their goals. The podcast closes with a reminder that the journey to overcoming self-sabotage is deeply personal, requiring willingness and passion to make lasting changes. This episode offers valuable insights and practical techniques to understand and conquer self-sabotage, empowering listeners to navigate their inner conflicts and thrive in various aspects of life. Self-sabotage doesn't have to hinder your progress, and this episode equips you with the tools to foster hope, release fear, and move forward with purpose and confidence.

• How To Manage Procrastination - Season 2 Ep 14

  In this episode of "The Positivity Project Podcast," we tackle the common issue of procrastination and explore how to overcome it. We've all been there, staring at our to-do list, telling ourselves we'll tackle it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes. I delve into the complexities of procrastination and offer practical insights on how to deal with it. Procrastination is a common challenge for many people, and it often stems from the preference for comfort over the effort required to complete a task. The episode highlights that understanding the nature of procrastination and recognising that it's a choice can empower individuals to overcome it. I stress the importance of having a compelling reason or goal to motivate us to take action. A strong "why" is essential for driving us towards the outcomes we desire. We often procrastinate when we focus on the discomfort of the process rather than the appeal of the goal. Keeping our eyes on the ultimate objective can help us overcome this common trap. The episode also touches on the significance of hope in our lives, particularly when dealing with moments of low energy or difficulty. While some might dismiss the concept of hope, it can be a lifeline for those experiencing challenges. For individuals facing adversity or struggling to take the first step, hope can act as a catalyst for change. Creating a sense of purpose and achieving small wins can foster hope and enable individuals to move forward in challenging situations. The hosts share practical strategies for fostering hope in moments of difficulty. These include celebrating small achievements, setting manageable goals, and maintaining a sense of purpose. The simple act of completing tasks or setting objectives can provide small dopamine hits that contribute to a growing sense of hope and progress. The mantra "This too shall pass" serves as a reminder that challenging situations are temporary and can be overcome with the right mindset and practical strategies. If you've ever found yourself procrastinating or struggling to find hope during tough times, this episode offers valuable insights and strategies to help you regain focus, motivation, and the ability to tackle your to-do list. It emphasizes the power of understanding your "why" and the importance of creating purpose in your daily life. Procrastination doesn't have to hold you back, and hope can be your guiding light during challenging times.

• How To Make Good Decisions - Season 2 Ep 13

  In this episode of "The Positivity Project Podcast," we delve deep into the art of making decisions. Making decisions is an essential part of life, but for some, it can be an overwhelming and challenging process. We explore why this is the case and offer a powerful process for making decisions that can lead to better outcomes. The fear of making the wrong decision is a significant reason many individuals find decision-making difficult. It's the anticipation of potential negative consequences that often paralyses us. While it's natural to feel this way, it's crucial to learn how to navigate these concerns. The episode highlights the importance of understanding that decisions, both big and small, are made every moment of every day. These decisions play a pivotal role in shaping our lives, and making good decisions can lead to more positive outcomes. I introduce a comprehensive decision-making process designed to help individuals make better choices when faced with significant life decisions. The process involves creating a timeline, making associations, and projecting oneself into the potential outcomes of each decision. By doing so, one can gain a better understanding of the emotional and physical implications of their choices. This process provides a more comprehensive perspective, enabling individuals to feel the impact of their decisions before they are made. The conversation emphasises that the mind-body connection is significant when making decisions. For instance, we may feel nervousness as butterflies in our stomach when faced with a choice. Recognising these physical reactions and linking them to our emotional state is crucial to understanding how decisions affect us on a deeper level. The process guides individuals to associate themselves into the two potential decisions they are contemplating separately. It encourages them to step into the future, imagining and feel what life would be like under each option, and paying attention to the emotional, physical, and environmental aspects of each outcome. This association helps individuals better connect with their choices, allowing them to experience the feelings associated with each decision which helps guide the best choices. It's important to return to the present moment after exploring each options and thoroughly associating with them. This ensures a balanced perspective while making decisions. Once this process is completed, individuals can weigh the logical pros and cons and make a well-informed decision. It's a powerful and practical technique that has proven successful time and time again. If you've ever struggled with making decisions, or if you're currently facing a significant crossroads in your life, this episode provides valuable insights and a structured process to guide you toward making choices that align with your goals and values. It reminds us that good decision-making is an essential skill that can be developed and refined to improve the quality of our lives.

• How To Say No Politely - Season 2 Ep 12

  In this episode of "The Positivity Project Podcast," I delve into the intricate topic of people-pleasing and the inherent negativity it often brings into our lives. I explore the roots of this behaviour, its impact on our well-being, and offer insights on how to politely say no when necessary. People-pleasing is a deeply ingrained behaviour, often originating from our childhood experiences during the imprint period, which occurs between the ages of zero and five/seven. During this phase, our subconscious minds are like sponges, absorbing the messages from our parents and caregivers. These messages often emphasise being good, quiet, and putting others first as a measure of our goodness. We unconsciously develop a belief that to be good or to be a nice person, we must always prioritise others. Generosity and kindness are wonderful traits, but when taken to an extreme, they can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and disempowerment. People-pleasers often find themselves in a never-ending cycle of helping others at their own expense, and they may struggle to say no. To break free from this pattern, it's essential to ask whether the behaviour of people-pleasing serves you. If not, it's time to consider alternatives. One effective method is to create a pattern interrupt. When someone asks for your help or assistance, instead of immediately saying yes or no, respond with "Leave that with me; I'll get back to you." This gives you the time to reflect and decide whether the request aligns with your needs and priorities. But what if you decide to decline a request politely? The key is to be honest and communicate your reasons transparently. You might say something like, "I'd love to help you, and I know I have helped you in the past. Unfortunately, this time, [insert your reason here]." It's crucial to offer a valid reason that genuinely reflects your current situation. Importantly, you should also make yourself a priority. Set boundaries and learn to take care of your needs, even if it means saying no to others. If you're feeling overwhelmed or tired, don't hesitate to prioritise self-care. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Incorporating pattern interrupts and setting boundaries are powerful tools for breaking free from the cycle of people-pleasing. They allow you to maintain your well-being while still being kind and generous when it aligns with your own needs and priorities. It's important to recognize that people-pleasing is a deeply ingrained behaviour that takes time to change. However, with self-awareness, practice, and the willingness to put your well-being first, you can transform your pattern of saying yes to everything into a healthier balance that serves both you and those around you. So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where saying no politely is necessary, remember that your well-being matters, and it's okay to prioritize yourself.
