How to Deal with Inappropriate Behaviour
It's all around us - we may even be a player in the normal crazy game. Yes, inappropriate behaviour abounds and is, as we speak, ruining lives.All reaction is inappropriate because all reaction is automatic and defensive - that's how the normal mind works and that's what we're seeing around us everywhere we look.To make this world a better place - and, by that I mean, to make your life less stressful and, perhaps, even joyful - you need to deal appropriately with inappropriate behaviour.That is what this episode is about. This episode explains exactly how to do what is required, what is best because, obviously, reacting to inappropriate behaviour is, actually, just more inappropriate behaviour!To explore this, I'm looking at one of the most potentially fraught areas of our everyday interactions with others... family! How do you deal with the madness that is so prevalent in the family dynamic? Well, this episode explores both its origins and the appropriate required action.Hope it spurs you into do what needs to be done, saying what needs to be said and, as a result, making this world a better place.
Making the Right Choices
We're making lifestyle choices all the time - the kind of choices that amount to a matter of life and death... your's.We're not aware of this because we do it automatically. And, because we do it automatically, not only are we "blissfully" unaware, we're also regularly making the wrong choices.In this episode, we explore, for starters, the very real and negative implications of "living" this way - of living a shorter and lesser life than needs be or, indeed, should be.But that's only as a precursor to our exploring making the right lifestyle choices - the kind of choices that will enhance your experience of life straight away, the kind of choices that lead to the kind of results that you'd love to achieve.Or, should I say, the kind of choice... singular.Get one choice right and everything cascades into an experience of you and of your life that you wouldn't have thought possible.
Looking After Number One
No, we're not talking about selfishness and greed in this episode! In fact, we're talking about the exact opposite - the one thing that you, that anyone, can do for the good of everyone, starting with the most important person in your life... you.Step-by-step, throughout the day, instructions are provided in this episode - the steps that we all must take to start the day like we mean it and to keep ourselves sane throughout the day, in the face of the everyday madness all around us.Most importantly, we explore the absolute necessity of taking charge and putting your best foot forward, regardless of the circumstances.And, when you do, you'll discover a world to which the vast majority of people are blind - blinded by their own thoughts and perceptions. You will discover a world where all is well and life can be fully and unreservedly enjoyed.Because enjoying yourself is what life's all about.
Control Your Emotions
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.
Changing My Little World
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!!
