My Ego vs Meditation

Do you struggle to meditate? Find it boring? Hard to do? Can't sit still? Mind racing around too much? then this episode is perfect for you. Paul shares his  personal journey from hating meditation to making it an essential part of his life, focussing on the challenges he faced, such as a racing mind and difficulty sitting still, and how he overcame them. Paul also reflects on his mindset around meditation, admitting that he used to prioritise activities that would boost his status and appearance, rather than focusing on personal growth and health.

Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Meditation is now a non-negotiable part of life. Paul initially struggled with meditation because his mind would wander and he found it hard to sit still. The ego was sabotaging the meditation practice by making it seem boring and difficult. You must change your identity from someone who struggles with meditation to someone who meditates regularly. While no one needs to meditate, the benefits and insights gained from the practice are invaluable BEST MOMENTS "I went from being someone who hated meditation, hated it, to someone who loves meditation and it's now an absolute non-negotiable in my life." "If I had seen meditation when I was younger as something that gave me status, boosted my looks, and gave me something to show off so that I could receive validation from people around me, there would have been no stopping me in doing everything I could to be the best meditator I could be." "I was not going to live the life I truly wanted to live if I didn't invest time in my personal growth and health." "My crafty ego was the culprit behind making meditation more of a struggle than it needed to be."

Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindfulness is the practice of bringing your brain and body into the same place at the same time with intention. It involves consciously bringing your attention back to the present moment. Attention is a valuable gift that we can give to others. By being more mindful and present in our relationships, we can improve the quality of those relationships. Recovery is essential for high performance and well-being. Stress is not the enemy, but the absence of recovery is. Incorporating recovery rituals into our daily, weekly, and yearly routines is crucial for maintaining balance and avoiding burnout. Gratitude is a powerful mindfulness technique. Taking time each day to reflect on and appreciate the small things in life can improve our overall well-being and perspective. BEST MOMENTS "The biggest gift you can give to people increasingly is your attention. Attention is more valuable than oil." "Often we can spend a lot of our lives with our minds and our bodies in different places." "Rest is the secret source of high performance." "Stress forces us into a high performance state. It's often where we do our best work."

Join the Mindset Change Another Level channel below: patreon.com/mindsetchange Mindset Change WhatsApp Community Link. Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Knowing the driving force behind your desire to be an entrepreneur is crucial. Take the time to reflect on what truly motivates you and what you want to achieve in your life. Impostor syndrome is a common obstacle that many entrepreneurs face. Instead of letting it hold you back, turn it into a superpower. Challenge your self-doubt and work on building your confidence. Use tools like a pie chart to visually represent your priorities and how you want to allocate your time. Be honest with yourself about what truly matters to you and make decisions accordingly. Life is fluid, and your priorities may change over time. Be open to reassessing and adjusting your plans as needed. Stay connected to your future vision, but also be present in the moment and enjoy the journey. BEST MOMENTS "I suddenly realized that I actually had very little control of my time. I was in different country, often three times in a week, all over the place." "I'm a doer and a person that believes in doing and trying and failing, doing and trying and succeeding, doing and trying and failing." "Imposter syndrome was a huge thing for me for a long, long time. But I realized that, okay, it might be natural for me to feel imposter syndrome, but I can absolutely work my mindset on this and I can work my way through it." "I think it's very easy to keep going down that adrenaline-filled, busy, distracted, crazy life that we live in. For me, it always was there as a reminder that, well, all of this time, I want to be at home with my kids and I want to be slower and I want to be present."

What We Get Wrong About Sex - with Dr Anand Patel

Paul is joined by sexual health expert - TV's Dr Anand Patel, famous for appearing on shows such as Embarrassing Bodies and Celebrity Save our Sperm, for a frank, and sometimes eye-opening discussion about all things sex, including the myths surrounding this natural function of human life, sex drive itself and how we can nurture and improve it, libido, the menopause, pornography, how to re-ignite the spark in our own relationships, and the effects of anti-depressants on our sex drive.

Join the Mindset Change Another Level channel below: patreon.com/mindsetchange Mindset Change WhatsApp Community Link. Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS There has been a huge surge in interest surrounding the ways in which we can improve our levels of desire. Erectile problems can often be solved through medication, but our fundamental interest in sex is being explored by society in general. Sex now seems to come with levels of societal expectation, which is reducing our natural attraction levels, and conditioning us to believe that our libidos can only be triggered by factors we're told to want. Pornography is being turned to by those who wish to explore their own boundaries. In many cases this is causing an improvement in their sexual fulfilment, but it can also create unrealistic expectations. As relationships play out, we often lose the spark that causes us to want to flirt with our partners. By reinstalling these earlier compnents, we can arouse the same levels of desire we experienced at the outset. BEST MOMENTS "I do wonder if there's some social stuff going on out there in terms of libido" "If you're striving for a monogamous society, it's kind of better that they don't want to have sex..." "In most countries around the world, sex education is really poor" "People forget to flirt when they're in a long term relationship" VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Change Coaching The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube Dr Ananda Patel - https://binfieldroadsurgery.co.uk/practice-staff/dr-anand-patel-m/ ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul Sheppard is a life-transforming anxiety and mindset coach, hypnotherapist, and host of the top ten Mindset Change podcast.

How To Break Free from a Narcissist - Interview with Melanie Tonia Evans

Narcissistic abuse expert Melanie Tonia Evans shares her personal journey of surviving and healing from a toxic relationship with a narcissist. Melanie discusses the red flags to look out for when dealing with a narcissist, the lies we tell ourselves to stay connected to them, and the deep crisis that can arise from these relationships. Melanie also talks about the importance of healing at a quantum level, going beyond traditional therapy, and accessing the subconscious mind to break free from the cycle of abuse.

Join the Mindset Change Another Level channel below:patreon.com/mindsetchange Mindset Change WhatsApp Community Link. Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissistic abuse is characterised by a lack of empathy, cruelty, and manipulation. Narcissists often trigger and derail their victims in order to maintain control and shift blame onto them. Recognising the warning signs of a narcissist can be challenging, as they often engage in love bombing and present themselves as the perfect partner. It is important to be cautious and take the time to get to know someone before becoming deeply involved with them. Narcissists cannot change because their false self, which is constructed to feel superior and demand attention, prevents them from admitting any wrongdoing or taking responsibility for their actions. They are unable to access their true self and lack the capacity for genuine empathy. People often tolerate narcissistic abuse due to cognitive dissonance, where they create justifications and excuses for staying in the relationship. These can include beliefs that the narcissist will change, that they are doing it for the children or finances, or that they have a soul contract to heal the narcissist. BEST MOMENTS "For a narcissist, what they want to do always is trigger you and derail you so that they can stand back and go, oh, you're the problem." "I really thought God had blessed me with the man who was the man of my dreams… But yet, he had these insecurities and these triggers, which I just thought, oh, that's a bit unusual or weird, but you know, we love each other, that'll be fine." "I was absolutely addicted to him like a heroin addict… People who understood what was going on were pretty much saying, well, what is wrong with you? Why do you keep going back to this person?" "I'm going to love and heal us back to health. And I'm never leaving you again… From that moment on, I started life in a quantum way, from the inside out."
