This is an episode full of practical tips - quick tips that you can start putting into practice today - that will enable you immediately experience happiness, peace of mind and what one of my Online Program Owners calls "Deep Joy".

I present you with a choice: do you want to be happy or would you prefer worry, anxiety and stress? Do you want to live your life properly, like you mean it, in the moment or do you want to be buried in the world of thought?

No brainers! Or, as we explore, you need to use parts of the brain that nature (evolution) didn't intend that you use!!!!

Enough of that - there are four or five really practical tips in this episode and, perhaps, one tip to which I allude but which we will need to come back to... it relates to whether or not you need goals and objectives. Now... there's a thought!

Or, more importantly, the things that we can do for ourselves!

In this episode, by way of introduction, we explore the madness of the normal human condition, as a result of which, we impede ourselves, constrain ourselves, belittle ourselves and, indeed, do ourselves actual physical harm.

But, if you're the problem, you are also the solution. Or, to put it another way, if your thoughts are the problem, stop paying them attention. As simple as that.

Yes, the things that we can do for ourselves are far easier - to the point of effortless - far simpler and far more effective than all the stuff that we automatically and habitually do to ourselves.

In this episode, you learn how to do the best for you.

One more thing. I mention a short YouTube video in this episode - how to get a good night's sleep (which is very important for your short-, medium- and long-term wellbeing) - here's that link:

What? You don't have an everyday life?

That's right and that's what this episode explores.

Nothing is as it seems to the thinking mind: from anger to stress, to jealousy to, well the very reality of the here and now.

As a result, we're normally caught in a reactionary loop where things go from bad to worse and "not so bad" is about as good as it gets.

Until you stop reacting. Yes, that is what this episode is about.

So, what strategies do you need to adopt? Short answer... none.

You just need to (re)develop your ability to turn up to the here and now. Once you turn up for real, everything changes.

And the wonderful thing is that you'll discover results immediately, in the most unlikely of places.
