We're exploring how our mind provides us with all the insight and inspiration that we need when it is liberated from the drag of automated, repetitive, ruminative everyday useless, toxic thought.Whether it's while we sleep (that's why, if you have in important decision to make, you should always "sleep on it") or when we're in Flow (that's why we really do need to cultivate our experience of Flow in our everyday life), our intuitive mind, the real you knows everything that you need to know and do to create the kind of life that is best for you - beyond what you think you want.And, until you stop using your mind on Autopilot (where, in fact your mind is actually abusing you!), you'll never know that you know.So, we're taking a dive into the world of cognitive psychology, neuroscience (in particular in this episode) and even quantum physics and bio-electricity and we unwrap an understanding of how the world really works that will... change your world.

Blossoming Relationships
This week we're exploring personal relationships - from the one-to-one relationship we have or would like to have with our nearest and dearest to the often fraught relationships between parent and child, whether you're on or the other!We're exploring relationship dynamics at the psychological level, whilst taking an all-important detour into the realms of quantum physics, bio-mechanics and bio-electricity.But, most of all, we're looking at what makes a beautiful relationship and how your relationships can blossom and rise to levels that your thinking mind couldn't even begin to imagine.In such relationships, everyone's a winner, the joy is spread and, for starters, your lttle world is a better place. And the world at large needs that.

Thinking, Overthinking, Believing and Knowing
Today we're teasing out what I mean when I say that we're at our best when we're not thinking.Are we saying that we need to stop all thinking? What are different kinds of thinking? And can we think clearly when we're using our minds normally?The answer to that last question above is a resounding "No" - and that's why we need to tease things out in this episode!But we go further, we explore the nature of belief and what beliefs really are - an important exploration given that what we believe about ourselves, generally speaking, holds us back.And we explore knowing - now that's where the real action is. And I mean action as distinct from reaction!

Your Mind's Playing Tricks on You
If you're using your mind normally, you really haven't got the first clue about what's actually going on.You've no idea who you really are and you certainly have no inkling of what you could achieve or what's even possible and how easy, effortless, it could all be. If you're using your mind normally.Now - and I actually mean right now - there is a different way. But, in order to encourage you to consider this other way, this episode explores, in psychological an neurological detail, how your mind is playing tricks on you and how, in the process, you're not living your own life.Now there's no point in being sad, upset or annoyed about any of this - it's simply the human condition. But there definitely is a point in shaking things up, waking up and experiencing life as it really is and creating the kind of life you would really move.So, let's start with "habituation" and "categorisation" as we delve into the bag of nasty tricks that the normal crazy mind plays on us...

Stories, Lies and the Real You
As someone said to me a couple of days ago, "It's been far too long since you recounted a Normal Crazy People Story to us!" - they used to be a regular Thursday morning feature!!So, this week, we start with a little adventure into what passes for the real world but is, in fact, a million miles removed.But the stories with which this episode starts are told for a reason... we all tell ourselves stories. And, worse, generally speaking, we all believe the stories that we tell ourselves.We embellish, we exaggerate, we concoct and create, we downright lie.Does that make us all liars? Well, that's actually one of the things that we explore in this episode.But, more to the point, we explore beyond the stories. We explore the real world and the reality of who you really are.Better than that, we explore how you can allow the power within present itself to you and your world... today.
I’m Willie Horton and I’m a psychologist - from Dublin Ireland, living in the French Alps - each week we explore how to change the way you think and... change your life.
Cognitive psychology and neuroscience provide the evidence that anyone - that means you! - can take charge of how the mind works, restructure the brain's key components and... change your life.
The really cool news is: what you need to do to change your life is breathtakingly simple and you'll find your health, wealth, fitness, wellbeing, happiness and peace of mind simply flow when you're flowing in the moment.
