The Ultimate Mindset Change Podcast

Are you struggling with purpose and anxiety about the state of the world we live in? Do you find it difficult to think long term and focus too heavily on short-term gains and goals? We live in a world where more than ever we suffer due to short-term thinking, and in today's episode, Paul discusses this phenomenon with futurist Ari Wallach, the founder of Longpath and author of 'Longpath: Becoming The Ancestors Our Future Needs', who offers a more constructive, positive solution towards long-term thinking, and talks about the mindset shift we need to adopt in order to change our lives for the better. KEY TAKEAWAYS Showing up in the world and being aware of how we interact with others is vital to long term thinking as it establishes a trend tab. We think too much about the current day or immediate future. If we envisage our story as an ancestor, it allows us to see the perspective of future generations and shows us a broader long term view of life. The three pillars of the Longpath mindset are Futures Thinking, Transgenerational Empathy and Alternate Aim. The more that people become aligned with the long term future, or Longpath, the more they think about more than themselves. This connection brings experiences, opportunities and people into life. BEST MOMENTS 'Longpath is a way of being seen in the world' 'When we imagine ourselves as great ancestors, it elevates us out of the present moment' 'A lot of folks have some form of spiritual practice or connection that goes beyond the here and now way of thinking' 'These synchronicities can feel magical at times' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube Longpath - https://www.longpath.org/ari-wallach ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.

Transform your 2023 by stopping this habit for the incoming year. In this episode, Paul shares the insights that'll help you feel less anxious and stressed, tools and techniques designed to give you more clarity, and create a way of living life with more energy and freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS People are craving a fresh start in 2023 after a year that's thrown up negative behaviour patterns and stumbling blocks. But you have to begin to think differently. The problem is not that you don't know what you're doing with your life. The issue is that you think you should know that's causing you the pain. Stress really is not the best motivator in life. Shoulds and shouldn'ts are driven by past traumas creating a distorted lens through which our ego tries to control reality in order to feel safe. The resistance to the narrative that we "should know" creates tension in the body which then triggers an internal alarm, restricting activity in the pre-frontal cortex. BEST MOMENTS 'We have to be honest, it's been a strange year' 'Think differently. Feel differently. Behave differently' 'I have your back' 'Our resistance to what we're experiencing can be a source of pain. Letting go of it moves us towards healing' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.

Burnout is a time when a person comes to a place of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion. Its when you feel you’ve given all you can and eventually it feels you have no more to give. It can potentially happen anyone, and every person has a different stamina. However we all have limits to what we can cope with and handle.   In this episode Mark talks to life coach and burnout expert, Mark Fennell, about the ways in which we can see the signs of burnout approaching, and stop it dead in its tracks, so as to lead a more fulfilled, productive life. KEY TAKEAWAYS COVID and the hangover effects of the new way of working has created a sense of mass disillusionment that's taking its toll on the anxiety levels of the populace. COVID was an invisible threat passed on by people, and the effects of that have lingered. Stress sits in our body and builds unless we relieve it by forcing ourselves to move more. But we also need to see rest time and break time as a time to be valued, and not an inconvenience. There are people who, when they go to relax, actually feel more stressed because they are trying to relax. The tension builds and they enter a phase called "stresslaxing" There is a lot of purpose in fun. We often assume it's just a momentary sensation designed to make us smile, but the benefits of taking time out to have true fun is sorely underused and needs to be encouraged. BEST MOMENTS 'Anxiety is our body's way of reacting to a perceived threat' 'We don't value a break as we see it as inefficient' 'We're always switched on, and that's why when we go on holiday it takes us three days to thaw out' 'We get too serious and we need to inject a whole lot more fun in our lives' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Mark Fennell Instagram - @markfennell.ie Mark Fennell - https://markfennell.ie/life-skills/12-signs-of-burnout/ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
