This episode goes beyond caring in a variety of different ways.First of all, most people don't care about themselves first of all! You are the most important person in your life and, if you don't care for yourself, you're in no position to care for anyone else.Not just that, if you don't care for yourself, you're currently missing and will continue to miss your own life.But we go further beyond caring in this episode because, it's only when you literally "go beyond caring" that all that's best starts flowing for you.In this context, caring is synonymous with wondering - "when will my Perfect Moment happen?" - which leads to worrying, which leads to frustration, which leads back into the dark vortex created by thought that divorces you from the here and now where, if you've gone beyond caring, you'll simply be aware of and embrace the opportunities or synchronicities that will allow all good things "fall into your lap".Laced with a few good, practical, stories - from people who, having gone beyond caring, have had their "ideal" scenarios "just happen" - this episode is like a user's manual on how to great your ideal life.

Stuck? Stressed? Time to Change
Everything that's wrong in your life comes from thought. All good things flow, when you're in flow.In this episode we explore how people get stuck, how they can be paralysed by fear to the point of panic, how people end up by putting themselves in the nearest cardiac unit.For example, the physical effects of stress are very real indeed but the root cause is imagined - an automatic flurry of thoughts that tigger all the wrong things to happen in your body.A mind that is ill at ease creates a body of disease.Never mind. It's all normal and it will pass! All you have to do is not think - we're at our very best when we're not thinking. Then, you can tune in to what's going on, notice the synchronicities, allow yourself be guided by them in harmony with your gut instinct and... do.And the doing comes effortlessly. All good things flow when you're in flow.

Coping with Everyday Life
This episode starts by exploring the feelings and sentiments of a bruised and battered leadership team - and their discovery that they had something to celebrate.Life throws us curved balls every day. For most (read "Normal Crazy People"), the automatic way in which the thinking mind reacts only magnifies life's everyday challenges, making dealing with them all the more difficult.For starters, in this episode, we celebrate coping. When we cope with a challenge - or, to put it in proper terms, when we rise to a challenge and deal with it - we provide ourselves with an important opportunity to encourage ourselves to move forward in our lives.Coping produces Perfect Moments. And, yet, coping is just the beginning.When you take control of your state of mind, when you stop thinking and start acting, when you "go beyond caring", you're ready for real action. And every, however small, demonstration of real action encourages us to "trust the process".This "process" is one where, by taking control of our state of mind, we become action heroes - no more thinking and overthinking, no more making the simple complex, no more questioning our ability to change our lives. We just do.And, when we just do - starting with coping - we learn to trust a process that is, in fact, a process in developing our ability to trust ourselves.There's an inner you that you can trust implicitly - explicitly. This inner you rises from within when you rise to the occasion of the here and now.It's time to liberate that inner you.

The Waste of Worry
Imagine investing your attention, focus and energy in what you don't want to happen.You don't need to imagine - it's something that comes naturally to the normal crazy mind - it's called worry.And only an idiot would go there. But, we're all idiots until we take responsibility for what's going on in our head and take control of our state of mind.In this episode, we explore how thinking leads to over-thinking, how wondering leads to worrying, we explore the delusional dangers of positive thinking and, obviously, we consider the detailed instructions on how to take that responsibility and control that leads to an end of worry, an end to stress and the beginning of an everyday experience of everyday life that is... a joy to behold.We explore how taking control of your state of mind is actually simple, an easy task: you don't have to fight the thoughts in your head that lead to worry, you don't even have to fight the 1.8m years of evolution that designed your mind to err in the negative. You simply have to allow yourself be. And, to do that, you can simply use the everyday tasks at hand to... change your life beyond recognition.And, oh, beware of red BMWs!
