We've made it! The final month of 2020! There is no better way to wrap this year up and send it off, than with a BANG! Today I take you through a personal exercise I have curated to help me in my own reflection and assessment of my year. This can be used at any stage to help you process and understand your priorities moving forward. When I say BANG, I not only mean fireworks and all, but I am talking about B for Balance, A for Appreciation, N for Novelty and G for Growth - all key things I believe are essential to any contemplation of the year gone by, and that to come.I hope you enjoy the final muse of 2020!

Beyond the shaped molecule, DNA can tell us SO much more about our genetic tendencies, existence and capabilities. Alessandra Edwards is a performance expert and keynote speaker who’s obsessed with one question: how far can we stretch our genetic limit so we can achieve our maximum potential. She specialises in high-performance, and explains why it's a sexy area to talk about. Join our conversation today as we question what DNA can tell us, how we can find it out, the different genetic types and what that means for you and my favourite, if it's written in your code, does that mean you can't change it? Be prepared to be mind blown, especially if you've never heard of using your genes/DNA as a basis for performance. You can find out more at https://alessandraedwards.com and also download her '30 tips to increase energy'. Also stay tuned for her book titled "The DNA of Performance" which is available for pre-sale on her website.Stay Balanced.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory.

This mini segment today goes into Kronos v Kairos time and why it's important. We're all run by the clock, there's no doubt about it. But what if we could (on the daily) engage in human time, away from clocks and calendars? You know those moments where time feels like it goes on forever? How good would it feel to have moments like that in each and every single day. Tune in to hear my thoughts on how we might be able to do this! I've kept it short and sweet this week. Enjoy!Stay Balanced. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we follow on from last week's discussion on all things about Brain Balance! We continue discussing Scott's 5 stress erasers, how to optimise breaks at work, if rituals and habits are essential, and why we are retiring too early! This is just as juicy & info packed as the first episode! My favourite part was the understanding that we can continuously grow our brain - even as we get old! We have no choice about the shrinking part, but there are certainly things we can do to sustain it long term. If you loved this chat, you will really enjoy Scott's book 'Activate Your Brain' available on Amazon. I would strongly recommend picking yourself up a copy! Learn more at http://scotthalford.com.

Do we really only use 10% of our brains? Why do we always feel like we need to be in control of everything (I'm talking to you back seat drivers!) Is our intelligence confined to the size of our brain? These and SO much more answered in today's pod.Tune in as writer and long-time professional speaker and educator of businesspeople worldwide, Scott Halford enlightens us all the way from Colorado on all things regarding our key Balance Organ - the brain. His experience is based on brain-based behavioural science, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and influence. Today we talk about how to leverage off our desire for control, how universal wisdom comes to be, why coffee is your friend and the impacts of stress today, and long term. Speaking of stress, Scott shares his 5 stress erasers which are easy to adopt and could change your life experience! I'd love to hear if you give these a go. If you love this episode, then you need to get your hands on Scott's book 'Activate Your Brain' which is actually how I came across Scott's work in the first place. It is super easy to digest and so interesting! Learn more at http://scotthalford.com.
