S3 Ep45: Don't Force It
Sometimes - it’s really OK not to know what you want. To not know the next ‘logical’ step or the next ‘right’ move.The truth is - we can drive ourselves mad seeking clarity. At certain times in our life, we have to be brave and sit in the somewhat dark space of uncertainty and not force it.Because no amount of thinking things through, forcing or pushing is going to help. In fact - making a decision based on desperation for certainty can cloud our judgement and potentially lead to the wrong move at the wrong time. In this episode we share our own personal experience and offer advice on how to embrace not knowing, and how to move through it with love and grace.We'd love to know your thoughts so please do message us at:team@themidlifementors.comAnd join our Zoom Coffee Morning Q&A this Sunday (3rd May) at 10am UK time.

S3 Ep43: Setting Boundaries
Boundaries. So many people struggle setting them. Only to be left feeling resentful, frustrated and annoyed. Conversely, we might set a boundary, then feel guilty - obsessing over what they might think, perhaps backtracking and generally driving ourselves (and others around us) mad.However - setting healthy boundaries from a place of self respect is an essential life skill - because not doing so causes confusion, an imbalance of energy and more issues down the line. So in this episode we discuss how to navigate this hot topic, so you can live a more harmonious, happy, healthy life - and inspire others to do the same.Join our free private Facebook Group at the below link:https://www.facebook.com/groups/themidlifementorscommunityAnd subscribe to our Youtube Channel below:https://www.youtube.com/c/themidlifementorsVisit our website for retreat dates and programmes:https://themidlifementors.comThe Midlife Male Handbook available now:AmazonWaterstonesWH Smith Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

S3 Ep38: Making Sacrifices
You may have heard us say in the past "You don’t need to massive sacrifices" to get the health, happiness and success you desire. However the key word is massive!Becasue the reality is - in order to get something new, we need to do something we’ve never done before.And that will involve making choices - some of which will, at first, feel like sacrifices.Much of the time, we’ll over play the sacrifices we need to make in our head and use them as excuses not to start, but contrary to belief if you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want will be the sacrifice.So in this episode we discuss the premise of sacrifice without it being detrimental to life balance.We hope it's food for thought!We've opened up our diary to offer a limited number of 30 minute complimentary consultation calls.
