This episode covers: A crucial concept to ensure you get the most from every exercise you do How to utilise this principle to overcome the usual roadblocks with exercise cues This is info from the Physical Freedom 1:1 Coaching Program Exercise cues are great, but they can only take you so far. We have the same anatomy, but we have different length of limbs, different injury history etc. The same cues won’t work for everyone, and I remember hitting into this roadblock many times of my own journey to Physical Freedom. Where certain cues didn’t work for me, and only caused pain. In this episode I will go through a crucial concept that enabled me to overcome the flaws with cues, and keep moving forward and get the progress I wanted with my body.

This episode covers: What overthinking is & why it happens  How to stop overthinking and use your mind more skillfully  This is info from a module in the Mental Freedom Course  The average person has 60,000 thoughts per day. How many of these are necessary? How many of these are looping, repetitive thoughts that lead to anxiety & stress? A lot. Our mind has evolved to become a problem solving machine, it loves stimulation & working through problems. But unless we actively train to gain more control over our extremely powerful mind, it runs riot. Most people’s minds are like a noisy nightclub, when they could be like a calm cosy local pub. Once we understand that overthinking is just an unskillful use of our imagination, we realise it doesn’t have to be this way. We can train to have a more skilled mind, and that’s what I go through in today’s episode.

*DISCLAIMER* During this episode there is a faint sound of an alarm for the first 8 minutes. Unfortunately my mic picked up on it, apologies! This episode covers: What emotions are & why we have them The 3 different ways we can handle emotions This is info from a module in the Mental Freedom Course Emotions are a fascinating and vital aspect of human existence. We don't remember facts, we remember how we felt. Emotions are what we know as the experience of life. The people we meet, the things we do, the relationships we have, it all funnels into our own meaning of these events through our emotions. If you don’t understand your emotions, you are in for a tough, chaotic experience of life. It’s time to learn what emotions really are, so you can get on the path towards deeper self awareness. The key to skillfully navigating your own mind & life.

This episode covers: A perspective the most powerful man in the world used to live a good life How to use death as a tool to create priority & meaning in your life. This is info from a module in the Lifestyle Design University  We are all going to die, that’s inevitable. But are we all going to really live?! That’s down to the individual. The majority won’t, and they will be on their deathbeds with regret. In this episode I will show you the perspective that the great Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius used to live a good life. One that has echoed through the ages as a part of Stoic philosophy. Most people fear death and let it paralyse them. But I will show you how to flip it and fear not living instead. This will propel you from paralysis into action to design the life you want. To live true to yourself and die with no regrets.

This episode covers: Understanding what triggers actually are How to turn triggers into your greatest teachers  This is info from a module in the Mental Freedom Course We all know that feeling of being triggered. In work, in relationships, in life. We usually ignore it and let it linger all day, or else we lash out. Either way it’s a disempowering way to live your life. Without deeper self awareness you will never understand why it happens, and you will repeat the same patterns in your life forever until you do. Your emotions are indicators of what you believe. And once you understand this, you can decipher why you are getting triggered. I will show you how in this episode.
