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. On this episode of The Bevan James Eyles Show I share an experience where a friend of mine was let down by a role model and how that had the potential to allow my friend to drop their standards, which would have come at a cost to what is important to keeping them in a good place. I also talk about how to avoid these situations in your life. 

In this episode I have an interview with the authors of 'The Brave Athlete - Calm the f*ck down and rise to the occasion' Simon Marshall and Lesley Paterson.

They share many of the areas that athletes need to develop on the mental side of their game and the tools that help them progress. 

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. In todays episode I talk about how we can 'fake it till we make it' in these areas by using tools that build experieneces that in turn build confidence. If you know you limit yourself this is for you.

Recently I've released a 3 Free video series as a part of My 5k Dream. As a part of this I ask people what is their biggest fears around trying to run 5k.

On this show I dig into the topic of self-efficacy. It's an area that gives a lot of insight into how to create change in the areas where you may stay away from in your life. 

Often we have areas of our lives that we are trying to improve on, so we develop a plan to improve in these areas. While this is a good idea it seems that there needs to be a deeper level of thinking before we get to the planning stage, we need to understand what is the real problem we need to solve. On this episode I go deep into this topic and share some interesting experiences, that I have had recently, that have taught me a lot about this.

When you think about your mind space, how much time do you feel you waste in your life on areas that aren't that important to you in the big picture? If you had a switch that could shut off 'wasted thinking time' in your life and would allow you to be free to use your mind energy in ways that were empowering for you and your world, how would this be different to your current experience? On this episode of The Bevan James Eyles show I dig deep into this topic and I give some tools that can help you move to a place where you are spending more your mind energy on the right areas for your life. 

On this episode I share my thoughts on how we prioritise our life, dealing with change, and I challenge you to think about how you can allow others to be themselves when they are around you.

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. On this episode I dig deep into this topic and offer a tool that shows you how you are allowed to own your 'wins' which increases your chance of sustainable success.
