A Boring vs. Exciting Life
Morning friends, I've included some relaxing breathing at the start of today's episode as I've found it so useful myself in moments of reset.
Today I discuss the difference between the boring things in life and the exciting things. Whilst not being mutually exclusive, we have a responsibility to ourselves to find a balance. Most of us don't have the balance quite right.
Write to me with your thoughts as always.
Best,

Lean into the Big Questions
Good morning friends, I trust you are well. Today I talk about a combination of lifestyle and spiritual work. Are we doing ourselves credit with how we live? Are we making enough of asking the big questions (examples given in the episode) or are we living life on a more surface level? We need to make the most of the opportunities we have to live alongside our values.
Write to me with any thoughts :)

Lifestyle > Goals
Good morning friends,
Today I'm talking about who we are and how we want to live. Our lifestyle and how we want to remove the cage that goals can takeover our lives from time to time. I discuss the idea around how goals are us living in the future instead of the present. As useful as goals are, lets balance it slightly and appreciate all the great things just now holds.
Hope you enjoy and as always, write to me with any thoughts you have.

How Does Work Serve You?
Morning friends, I spend today talking mostly about work! I didn't think I would end up talking so much about it but here we are.

Repeat Your Day
Hello lovely listeners, today is all about if you had the chance to repeat every day. It may initially feel like fixing anything you regret but I want to coin it as making the most of things. Being more present in situations that you perhaps take for granted. There are many lessons in here that we can implement into all areas of our lives especially as the idea of life being too short comes to mind. Try and make this a long term perspective without it losing its novelty. Write to me with any thoughts you have on it :)

3.5 Years of Simpler Living - what are the benefits?
Hello amazing humans, today is all about simple living. My case from simplifying life over the years is from my own experience and I want to encourage you to try it too. When we simplify life, it opens up more space for the important things such as health, love and true work that matters to us. There is so much noise trying to pull us away from what really matters so I want to encourage you to try and find time in your day for some more simple and mundane living. And finding which parts of it bring you joy! Write to me with any thoughts you have as always and have a great week!

It's Time to Play Your Game
Hello wonderful listeners, one on purpose today. I feel like there are certain moments in life that are pivotal. This is one of them. The day you make the decision to pursue something that deeply matters to you regardless of the outcome. I talk about this being more of a personal project but this decision can be related to a career or a relationship. It's completely open to your interpretation. But don't leave it too late to turn up and play the way you want to. Enjoy.

Living a Life True to You
Hello wonderful humans :) Today is all about understanding how we can do great things and create a life worth living. Only to you! We get way too caught up in what everyone else is doing and playing everyone else's games that we never really consider what a great life is or will be to us. Today that changes. I want you to seriously consider the things you want to do in life knowing that no amount of money or status would influence it. This is a level playing field. Everyone starts from zero. But not everybody is playing. This is your invitation to play :)

It's About Time We Were More Present
Hello lovely listeners, today is all about being more present. Life steals too much time from us when we try to plan it to the second. So how can we change that? Loosen your grip on planning. Have the things that need planned and then let go of the things that could bring you joy. We spend way too much time in life worrying about everything that we forget to live and enjoy it. Find the things that nourish our souls and add pure joy to our lives. Find out how this idea could remove the chronic anxiety, frustration and self-loathing we end up creating for ourselves.

When Life Gets Too Busy
Hello friends, today is all about what to do when life gets too busy. Far too often we allow life to get on top of us. We perhaps lack boundaries but most of the time we are mimicking life around us. This isn't our fault but we can take more control. Choosing what we want to spend our time doing is a choice and you have to be brave enough to live with that reputation. Being decisive can be the difference between you being happy and not.
Let me know what you think by writing to me or commenting.
Thanks again :)

Toxic Self Improvement
Hello wonderful listeners, today is a biggie. I feel strongly about this topic so it's important to consider this side of the argument. I explore the toxic side of self-improvement. The side that actually does the opposite of what it intends to do. When we're doing self-improvement things for the sake of it instead of for the benefit of ourselves. These things we do create a feeling of inadequacy in our own heads and can actually be more damaging than beneficial.
This is important to me so please write to me with your thoughts about this episode, I'd love to hear from you about it.

Why Living Simply is Your Only Option
Wow, quite an episode today. A lot of profound thoughts spilling out about simple living. I can't believe over the last 3 years I've formulated thoughts like these but it makes sense because I live and breathe them each day. I hope, without overwhelming, that it inspires you to take action and implement it into your own life. I'm not saying it's easy, nothing is, but it's important to do now rather than in 5 or 10 years time. We are not designed to live a life of hell comparing ourselves on social media. We are designed to be at one with ourselves and truly find peace in every day that we live. I hope you can take at least one thing away from this episode that you can add to your life today to make it more simple.

Self-love > Self-Punishment
Hello lovely listeners, today is all about our own mindset. I challenge you to analyse and look at how you view yourself. Everything we do can come from a place of love or a place of punishment yet we can fall into auto-pilot for a lot of these things, especially negatively. Over time, this negative headspace can drain us so it's time to wake up and flick the switch. How can you show more self-love with things you automatically think negatively about with yourself?

The Case for a Simple Life
Good morning folks :) Today are my thoughts around living more simply. Prioritising the things that make you feel alive rather than playing the game of keeping up with everyone else. When was the last time you stopped and analysed the things that you really love doing? It's time to switch our mindset to a more simple one for the longevity as this is the ultimate holy grail for out existence. Just think of that 80 year old walking down the street living their best life - it's because they keep it simple. Let me know your thoughts by writing to me :)

The Power of Non-Doing
Good morning folks, I am talking today about the importance of having free time aside for our mental well-being today. There is the common advice of saying no but this is more selfish than that, this is your time with zero expectations and knowing how it'll bring the best version of yourself out to play each and everyday. View it as a form of self-care. I like to think of it as reset time. Some might call it boring, I call it vital. Let me know your thoughts by writing to me or commenting below.

Balancing Your Bases
Morning folks, I'm firing out the episodes at the moment due to a love for the craft so I hope you don't mind. Today I'm looking at balancing our bases in life. I believe that it is more common for people to narrow down than be more balanced and the world needs more balanced lives. There is so much joy in the ordinary day to day than we realise and I want you to see it too for yourself. How can you implement the simple things in life from today?

Reframe your Thoughts
Good morning folks, focussing on mastering the craft of podcasting so please excuse the extra episodes if they appear. Hopefully it gives you more options to listen to :) I'm talking about perspective today and how important it is to reframe our thoughts sometimes. We can be overly negative about life despite things being pretty good. We will always have to compromise on certain things but what's key is that we align with our values at that time.

Intuitive Fitness with Sam Sager - A Conversation
Hello wonderful listeners, I chatted with Sam Sager who I connected with on Twitter not long ago all about his philosophy and approach to fitness. I really resonate and agree with his vision for fitness to make it sustainable and enjoyable for life. We chat about discipline in exercise, some of our own experiences and what we should aim for in life with our fitness. I'm going to pop all his info below for you otherwise I hope you enjoy!
Sam's Course Page Link - https://www.intuitivefitness.co/course.
Sam's Substack - https://intuitivefitness.substack.com/
Sam's Twitter for messages/DM's - @sc_sager
Here's Sam's bio -
Hi, I'm Sam and I'm the coach of Intuitive Fitness. As a kid, I was obsessed with sports and eventually played baseball in college.
Yet, when I stopped playing I discovered how hard it was to maintain the habit while working a corporate job. My journey to recapture my love of exercise led me to become a personal trainer to help others embrace fitness.
Here I discovered that the traditional approach is rigid, forcing fitness into scheduled blocks and often creating dependency. So I shifted to a virtual coaching model where I could focus on helping others develop the ability and confidence to carve their own paths

A Life of Mastery and Freedom
Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe
Hello wonderful listeners, today's thoughts come from recent reading and reinforcement around what is true in life; we can only earn mastery, it can never be bought. This leads us to freedom we don't even realise but a type of freedom that everybody wants. It allows us to live a better life and influences how we live. It disregards the unimportant things and emphasises the beauty of enough. What do you think? Write to me or comment below.

Is The Goal Worth The Lifestyle?
Become a Paid Supporter of the Podcast - https://anchor.fm/the-self-improvement-project/subscribe
Some big questions today about lifestyle for you. I feel like the topic of lifestyle design is fairly untouched as there are so many facets to it and a lot of the time we don't know what we want. We need to experiment to find out and see how it makes us feel. Then come our goals that we're continually changing and evolving into. How do the two tie together? Well, I'm not 100% sure but I think we should spend a lot more time finding out.
I'm very much on the side of lifestyle over goals but I recognise how important goals can be for our motivation. What do you think? Comment on the episode.

Ambition vs. Desire
Hello folks :) Today is a quick take on the difference between ambition and desire. Part of the same family but can have very different impacts on our day to day lives if we don't use them properly. Ambition is inherent and something that if we use effectively as a tool, can drive us onto a very fulfilling life. Desire is a dead end and leads to chronic unhappiness. What do you think? Let me know in the Q&A or write to me :)

This is a thinker today so I hope I provide you with a platform to really absorb and digest this idea. I ask some big questions about what games we are playing and why.

Progress in the last year? I've made none
I'm on the side of the small achievements today. We underestimate how much we achieve in a year and don't give ourselves enough credit for it unless it is recognised publicly or through certification. But your lifestyle, happiness and peace are way more important than that. And a much bigger achievement in fact. So today I talk about this in more detail for everyone who needs to recognise how great a year they've had :) Let me know what you think.

Doubling Down on Being You
It's time to go all in. All in on bring your true self. We spend too much of our lives fitting in and trying to be something or someone we're not. You will be more proud when you truly embrace your own personality and own values that make your life one worth truly living. It made sound cheesy but we only get one shot and we don't know when it's going to end. So this is your permission to double down on being you. Let me know what you think.

Helping Others > Helping Yourself
Hello everyone :) Today is an episode arguing the side of helping others. By listening to this, you're probably already aware of the great impact you're having on your own life by working on yourself. But how can you use it to help others? What is the different impact or benefits of helping others with our efforts? It's perhaps a different type of satisfaction we get from it but nonetheless important. Write to me with your thoughts on this episode :)

True Pain Points for Change
Today is all about the bigger questions. What is the difference between true change and false change? Are we falling for the same traps or do we just not realise or understand what we truly want? I discuss what we need to do to get where we want to quicker (and in a more fulfilling way obviously!) Let me know what you think :)

What Really Matters When We Feel Like We Don't Matter
We don't spend enough time in our lives thinking about how we can better serve the world. We don't know the benefits it can bring to our individual lives. It may sound selfish but it's true. We need to serve others to have ever lasting purpose in the world. I share a perspective today that will hopefully benefit you and the world you can impact. As always, let me know what you think :)

Pursue Struggle, Forever!
Hey everyone, thanks for writing to me :) Today is all about the importance of struggle. Just some surface thoughts around how we can use it straight away to benefit our lives but perhaps some deeper thoughts on it coming another time.
Essentially, we need it. But we have to own it. Only we can choose, nobody else. And it's important to appreciate in the midst of struggle, you need to give yourself more credit.
I hope you enjoy :)

Busyness vs. Peace
One of my roles is to tell you to 'do less' and 'slow down', however today I want to emphasise the importance of balance. As humans, we need to feel important and feel wanted. That is an innate desire. When we seek too much peace or 'do nothing', we are too extreme on one side. There are times when busyness is good for us. It pushes and stretches us. Turning up is underrated when you can add so much value to the world. Let me know what you think.

Are You Spending Your Time Wisely?
Time well spent is valuable, but how often do we step back and think about how we're spending it. We end up living too much for others rather than focussing on what truly matters to us. We tend to go for survival over thriving. Give yourself a bit more permission today to choose how you want to spend your time. As simply or as busy as you like :)

You're Not Supposed to Be Perfect
We live in a world where we think we know what we want but we don't. We play the blind game of comparison to trick ourselves into thinking what a perfect self and life should be. But you need to be less perfect. You need to embrace the flaws of life to become imperfectly you. No-one is better at being you than you. So today is about thinking about what you're good at and becoming great at living that life. Nothing else.
What do you think? Write to me :)

Hello everyone :) We never take enough time to truly recognise who we are and the journey we have been on.

We spend too much time caught up in everything that it's time we stopped to breathe a little more. I hope you enjoy and as always write to me with your thoughts :)

2 Years of The Self Improvement Project
May 2020. That was when I first started this podcast. Over 100 episodes later and doing at least one episode a week, my good friend Dan and I discuss the lessons and reflections from the past 2 years. Funnily enough, this podcast has been a huge source of self improvement for me and I hope it inspires you with whatever goals you are working on yourself.
Let me know what you think. I'll probably do one of these each year to look back on :)

Be A Good Friend To Yourself
Hello everyone :)
We are too negative habitually when it comes to our relationship with ourselves. Why don't we change that and think how we can treat ourselves like a good friend would? Retrain the brain to give yourself a pat on the back instead of a stern telling off. Enjoy that you're trying to get to where you want to be and not tell yourself that it's a wasted effort.
Let me know what you think :)

Give Yourself Some House Money - Guest Post by Shivani
A unique episode today. I discuss a thought-provoking blog post by Shivani from Stories by Shiv. This piece you can find on her website shiv.substack.com or directly here.
This piece is all about the concept of time as a currency we should be more aware of how we use. The most common belief being work until you retire. But is that the best?
I hope you enjoy this slightly different episode and let me know what you think :)

What Does Having Less Of Bring You More Of?
We're going to travel back to March 2020 where the world and our lives temporarily stopped. And through no choice of our own, 'less' became our way of living. I want to question whether that brought you more joy in life or is it simply a bygone now as we move on and adapt with our lives.
Let me know what you think :)

Self Improvement as Escapism vs. Identity
We sometimes think self-improvement is a tick box exercise. I.e - Once I exercise, I'll feel better about myself.
However, this can be quite misleading in the long term for our happiness.
Today, I look at the difference between treating self-improvement as a form of escapism vs. treating it as a form of our own identity. Let me know what you think.

Value Setting over Goal Setting
Setting our values is not talked about enough. As a human being, you evolve over time and you should be able to be fluid when changing who you are and who you want to become. However we always set goals to distract ourselves from the internal work.
What values do you want to set next year?

THE POWER OF REST
Rest is underrated in our modern world. We need it more than ever. I've been inspired by the book 'Rest' by Alex Pang. However it's important to understand why and the importance of balancing it with work. We're not designed to rest 24/7.

Be MORE Self Forgiving
As things open up again, we're left feeling a sense of 'time lost'. That we have to make up for this time.
And this isn't the first time in our life we've felt like this. Our jobs, health, age all make us think we should be further ahead.
Stop for a second, and be more self forgiving.
You'll only sabotage yourself if you constantly tell yourself you're not good enough.

The Tipping Point

A Story of The Fisherman and the Businessman

Change your Lifestyle, CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Today's episode was inspired by a few people/podcasts I've listened to recently and I'd recommend you check them out.
Steven Bartlett on Modern Wisdom's podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/modern-wisdom/id1347973549?i=1000514815846
Gabor Mate on the Feel Better, Live More podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/feel-better-live-more-with-dr-rangan-chatterjee/id1333552422?i=1000515090871
Today is about choosing how we want to live our lives. Mainly with a focus on our careers. Why it's better for us as humans to prioritise lifestyle. Why it impacts on us physiologically and psychologically in a negative way at the moment. Not blaming yourself yet still taking responsibility. Asking ourselves better, more specific questions about it and trying to get a stable environment for us to blossom.

Time Wealth
Everything valuable these days seems to be money orientated. Why is time not valued as much? Why do we run ourselves into the ground to make as much money as possible to then have a wee bit of time at the end of our lives? Big questions asked in here to question our belief around how we should best spend our time x

Consistency + Patience = Win
Consistency is a process I wish I had known more about before 2020. The secret sauce essentially. But how can we be consistent without patience? Consistency doesn't give you instant gratification. It's a long process, one that is ultimately rewarding, but this is where we need to master patience. Listen to inspire your patience :) x

After years pondering and exploring psychology, this keeps coming up. Motivation is a fleeting thing, we need to act upon it when it appears. But shouldn't there be a way we can tap into it more? To become even more effective at what we truly desire? Having our own version of motivation to make us the best version of ourselves? Have a listen and see what you think.

A Throwback to the First Ever Episode of the Podcast!
Back when I first started playing around with podcasting, it was called 20s Leadership. This is the very first episode back in 2018! I've kept it as a measure of progress and to look back on nostalgically. Enjoy the throwback and comparing it to a more recent episode!
I like to think the values are still the same :)
