Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Eustress : beneficial stress.  Too little stress, we don't show up. Too much stress, we don't show up.  An optimal amount of stress brings out the best in our performance and can leave us better, physically and mentally. 

The world is wrestling with improving equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Here's a solution, but are we ready for it?

Let's zoom out and gain a different perspective on this human experience. 

Friends, we have a new website! Please visit www.abty.co.uk to connect with us at a heart level and see whether our heartwork may serve you better. On episode 178 I am joined by Shaman and Author, Ya’acov Darling Khan, Ya’Acov is the author of the best-selling Jaguar in the Body, Butterfly in the Heart – the Real-Life Initiation of an Everyday Shaman (Hay House 2017), and the recently released 'Shaman – Invoking Power, Purpose and Presence in the Core of Who YOU Are' (Hay House March 31 2020), is known for his blend of down-to-earth strength, humility and uplifting humour. He is acknowledged as a practicing shaman by the people who work with him world-wide and by many indigenous elder shamans and communities from the Arctic to the Amazon. His work is inspiring, contemporary and practical, and Ya’Acov’s audience includes people from all walks of life. In a time in which western society has become disconnected from ancestral and natural wisdom, much of his work is about education and removing the unhelpful mystique of the term ‘Shaman,’ meaning traditional healer.

Say goodbye to Simon Cowell, Beverley Knight and Irene... Let's stop making idols. Let's stop the doubt and judgment. Let's stop the obsession with self.  And instead realise we are all equal, take the lessons and move forward, while serving others from the overflow.  Like this one? Let me know podcast@abty.co.uk 

Too many business focus on growth and new customers over looking after the ones who have already committed their time, attention and resources to our products and services.  I believe heart-centred leaders should focus more effort on nurturing their community rather than solely focusing on growing it.  This is what Abbie will be doing with our community. I hope you feel the benefit.  Thank you for being here with us.  Always love  Ryan 

Your one prompt today: Who needs you at your best today? Will you bring them?

I went surfing this weekend and it helped me be a better parent. How? I brought back perspective. That persepctive created an inner state in me that called me to being a more patient, loving and accepting Dad. How might you gain perspective without having to suffer loss?

Friends, we have a new website! Please visit www.abty.co.uk to connect with us at a heart level and see whether our heartwork may serve you better. On episode 177 I welcome back David Florence to the show. David will be one of our gust speakers at our event on 25th June so be sure to get your tickets to come and experience him talk live! It took a bang to the head, to change how David interacted with and moved through the world. This bang acted as a catalyst for change and kick started a search for better psychological and physiological health. After several years research and practice, much of which is chronicled on his YouTube channel – ‘Evolution of Dave’, he has now established a series of practices and protocols that have significantly improved his mind and body. David now teaches his methods to individuals and groups, helping them find more energy, develop a clearer and more efficient mind, create a resilient psychology and establish a life experience that flows. In this episode you will hear: 00:45 a bang to the head sparks a health optimisation journey 03:00 Freeze the Fear 05:00 breathwork awakening what’s been left dormant 08:45 how to control the anxiety/stress-o-meter 11:00 why your perception of stress is important 13:20 accessing your inner pharmacy 17:00 grabbing control 19:00 naturally creating more antiviral chemicals in our body through nose breathing 23:00 perfect love literally casts out fear 26:00 the body keeps a record 28:30 Red Light therapy 32:00 enhancing your own positive energy 35:30 turn off your judgment switch 38:30 creating a Happy Brain I hope this interview inspires your own personal evolution and leads you to trying one or two new things that will help you optimise your wellbeing.
