1. Diminishing your insults. This is about lessoning negative self-talk/perception so you can either let it go or focus on how to grow in that area.

In this episode I go through some big changes I have created with my phone habits over the last period of time, and what I have gained by doing this. I also give some steps on how you can have a better relationship with your phone.

When we are at our best we are often holding ourselves to high personal standards. There are many things that can let these standards slip, one of them can be the influence of others.

When we have times of struggle in our lives there can be destructive behaviours that come out. These can have a massive cost on our lives, on both a surface and deeper level. For some people these destructive behaviours can keep them in a negative place for the majority of their day to day life. If we know this is what we do we need to make this an area to work on. In this episode I dig deep into this topic and address the idea of 'minimising the damage' of your destructive times. 

Most of us have limits in certain areas of our lives. If we could overcome them we could be open to actions that would have a massive impact on our path forward.

If we are trying to create change it's important that we allow ourselves to own our 'wins' along the way. Unfortunately many people don't allow themselves to have their 'wins'. This may be because they feel the need to be hard on themselves to achieve, it might be because they still feel they have a long way to go, or it could be that they have never felt good about themselves. This rejection of your 'wins' actually works against you achieving the change you desire.
