• 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!

• Finding Flow and Peace of Mind

  You don't find flow, nor peace of mind... they find you.In this episode, we explore how to allow this happen - it is, as the very title of this whole podcast would suggest, a process of letting go.Before we get into that, though, we explore what flow is, in actuality, in practical terms and we explore the nature of peace of mind and its implications.We learn that, with peace of mind, comes an understanding, an experience of not having a care in the world. And we learn that, with flow, not only do we discover that we can do what we need to do effortlessly, we discover that we can do things that we never imagined ourselves doing or being capable of doing.We discover how to live the kind of life our heart desires, without having to work hard to get there or, perhaps, without having to work... at all.

• You Create Your Life

  This episode's title holds true, whether you're a normal crazy person or someone who has taken responsibility for your own state of mind.What's going on within creates what you achieve and experience - it has nothing to do with anyone else but you.If you're a normal crazy person, your everyday life is the result of a mass hallucination, a mass hypnosis driven by programmed, patterned, repetitive thought, which leads to a programmed, patterned, repetitive life - no wonder, when using our minds this way, we feel stuck, fearful of change and stressed (and much more besides).Normal, shared, hallucinogenic thought creates an assumed reality that enough people share to provide us with the "comfort" that it must be OK. It's not.Being the creator of your own life, as you are, you must ask yourself this key question:"What kind of life do I really want to create for myself?"This is actually a simpler question to answer than you might think. And this is one of the key questions that we address in this episode. I hope this discussion will enable you settle on the answer that you know (normal people don't know that they know!) to be the best answer for you and yours.But, then, this episode goes on to explain how to create the life that's best for you and what results you can expect.Worth 35mins of your time!

• How to Boost Your Productivity

  I really don't like the title of this week's episode because we're talking about so much more...First of all, we bust a few productivity-boosting myths: like you should do the (apparently) important things first or you should do the task you'd prefer not to have to do at all before you do anything else; like you should have a "To Do List" or have a plan or, God help us, an Action Plan; like multi-tasking, otherwise known to cognitive psychology as trying to half do a load of things badly simultaneously. Ah... Myths!More importantly, this episode provides you with a step-by-step Blueprint that will boost an awful lot more than your productivity.Because, essentially, we're talking about focus and flow in this episode. And we're talking about the importance of focus and flow in everything - focus is not just a work thing, obviously.Allied to that Blueprint is an exploration of "compartmentalisation" - actually another aspect or attribute of Flow.In short, this episode is longer than usual (bit of a paradox there!) because there's so much in it - so much that will change your life.

• How to Boost Your Self-Esteem

  Another misleading episode title - because there's nothing that you need to boost!Self-esteem is about how you think about what you think about who you think you are. How many steps removed are we from reality?It's only our "Conceptual Self" that thinks it needs bettering, buttering-up, bolstering. The various tips that you'll find online about boosting your self-esteem are thoughts about thoughts.And, as we know from previous episodes, we are at our best when we are not thinking. We are when we are not thinking.So, do we need to stop thinking? And how much effort will that take? Is it even possible?No, you don't need to try to stop something, you need to start being something... real. You simply need to come to your senses to actually feel who you really are - that way you'll stop thinking about it, stop thinking about yourself.And, when we stop thinking, we start living. And that's a game-changer.
