We're exploring so-called emotions in this episode - "so-called" because most emotions are simply and destructively the product of thought.

Yes the automated thoughts that enable us make it through the day are the self-same automated thoughts that make us think that we're angry, fearful, anxious, lonely... you name it, it's all thought-induced.

So, in this episode, we explore action not reaction, considered response not emotional overload, doing what needs to be done, not throwing fuel on the everyday fires of this normal crazy everyday world of ours.

Using a couple of really simply everyday practical examples, this episode explains how the normal mind sets us up for everyday disaster, so everyday that we think that it's OK, that is an acceptable price to pay for making it through the day.

Conversely, I explain why you're here, what everyday life is really all about and, most importantly, how to experience it, how to do the right thing effortlessly and how to enjoy yourself in the process.

All this flows when you... control your emotions.

All is well. You'll have heard me repeat that on many occasions, you'll have heard that from the Buddha, the Bible, Anthony deMello, not to mention all the modern "gurus"!

But look at the world. Look at your everyday life. Is all really well? Or are we fooling ourselves with the worst form of wishful thinking when we endeavour to convince ourselves that all is well?

Well! That's what we explore in this episode: the scientific fact, as confirmed by neuroscience, that a brain in flow creates a reality where all is, in actual reality, flowing effortlessly, where all is, actually well.

We explain and explore how, in the moment, not only is it all good, it provides us with an opportunity to enjoy and be excited by how we play our part in all being well.

And what a central part that is!

Obviously, playing your part is central to your creating an everyday experience of flowing life, where all is actually well. But you've a central role in doing the same for those around you, those you love, the bully at work, the angry people (that we inevitably encounter every day), the world at large.

And, boy, does the world at large need it.

This episode finishes with the words "you are the creator, go and create all that's best" - or words to that effect!!

What we need is encouragement to start doing and keep doing what we need to do to move ourselves forward.

What we don't need is courage - once you stop thinking that "Little Old Me" can't take the required actions to move your life forward, neither courage nor bravery is required - to quote Nike, you just do it - what it happens to be.

And you do it effortlessly - that's one of the key messages to emerge from this week's episode - because, whilst our normal way of thinking evolved in a way that frustrates our so-called best efforts, you will find that, freed from that normal way of thinking, you, again to quote Nike, just do it.

So, this episode provides you with the instructions for experiencing all of this good stuff, in the here and now, where your life is actually lived.

You've have the instructions for fulfilling one of life's great purposes - to live it! To live it like you mean it and enjoy yourself in the process.

Worth 30mins of your time!

Yes, the title's a giveaway - this episode provides you with the simple instructions to achieve whatever you want this year or, even better, what's best for you - which, more often than not, is not the same thing!

We're talking, health, wealth, success, happiness, peace of mind, fitness, weight (there are some specific instructions in relation to weight loss), business, career, relationships, parenting.

All this in one episode?

Yes, because the solution to everything in life boils down to you living your's. Simple.

So, if you think you're stuck, that the new year will a repeat performance, that you're stressed, anxious or frustrated - the simple instructions in this episode will deal with all that, effortlessly.

If you think that you don't know what you want, if you haven't a clue what your "life's purpose" is, or what even your intentions might be... the instructions deal with this apparent issues too.

And, if you think that you've to go back and revisit your past or undergo some form of therapy to understand where you think you are or how you got here, well this episode deals with that too.

As I said... all in one episode!

It's the year end and the start of a new year. All of which is actually irrelevant because any now is a new and unique moment where anything and everything can happen, where we create and recreate ourselves and our lives, our everyday lives.

So, in this episode, we have explicit instructions as to what you need to do to catapult yourself into the life that is best for you.

To fire that catapult, you need to pull back! Pull back from everything that you think you know about yourself and how the world works.

You need to completely let go of wishing, hoping, wanting, planning, budgeting - all the things that we do when we use the mind that nature intended.

Here, we're moving on from our evolutionary stand-point - we're no longer standing still, we're catapulting.

So, if you're letting go of all the tools that we normally think will help us achieve our goals and objectives, what are we going to do instead?

As I said, this episode has explicit instructions!

This episode is crammed with advice, suggestions and recommendations starting with - something that I haven't done in this podcast before - a load of reading recommendations.

And, after all my recommendations, I then advise you... not to read them!

Why? All the books in the world, all the science in the world doesn't matter - they're not going to change your life or your experience of it. You're the one from where change emanates.

So you start immersing yourself in all this material after you've taken your first steps on the road to awareness, self-awareness and self-discovery.

Otherwise, all your reading and study will be akin to browsing holiday websites, marvelling in the beauty and excitement of all the holiday destinations and, then, not buying a ticket and never even going outside the front door of your own little automated thinking mind.

And that's where the real advice comes in - but you're going to have to go through this episode from start to finish. And, right now, in this downtime between Christmas and the New Year, you know what? You have the time - use it wisely.

In this episode, we're exploring the sure fire things that will hold you back from getting what you want... trying and wanting.

Of course, both trying and wanting are, as we explore, thinking mind activities and, as such, are bound to throw a spanner in your works!

That's why we get into the detail of how to get the one real road-block to your happiness and success out of your way - your automatic way of thinking.

Along the way, we touch on the limited impression we have of ourselves in general, how we think that "Little Old Me" won't amount to much and will never scale the heights of the kind of life that we'd love to have, how, in fact, deep down, we probably think that we wouldn't deserve any of that good stuff anyway.

All nonsense. We were put here to live life and live it the full. But that's not going to happen until you get your thinking mind out of way. Once you do, you're going to be very surprised or even amazed.

We're exploring how our mind provides us with all the insight and inspiration that we need when it is liberated from the drag of automated, repetitive, ruminative everyday useless, toxic thought.

Whether it's while we sleep (that's why, if you have in important decision to make, you should always "sleep on it") or when we're in Flow (that's why we really do need to cultivate our experience of Flow in our everyday life), our intuitive mind, the real you knows everything that you need to know and do to create the kind of life that is best for you - beyond what you think you want.

And, until you stop using your mind on Autopilot (where, in fact your mind is actually abusing you!), you'll never know that you know.

So, we're taking a dive into the world of cognitive psychology, neuroscience (in particular in this episode) and even quantum physics and bio-electricity and we unwrap an understanding of how the world really works that will... change your world.
