Do you often compare yourself to others - then find your self-esteem plummeting? As Shakespeare himself said: 'Comparisons are odious'. Why? Because there will always be someone taller, thinner, more beautiful and more successful than us. The media has a lot to answer for - take a look at the insidious beauty industry and women's magazines. When did you last pick up a glossy and feel good about yourself? Quite. Dove have successfully poked fun at the beauty industry in their brilliant ad campaigns. Check out this short video to see how the magazine designers airbrush models to death - to make them look 'perfect'. It's all Photoshop - in reality these models don't 'exist'. Tricks of the magazine trade In today's podcast, Paul and Gina look at ways we can combat the 'comparison game' and come out on top.

Now it seems more like trying to drink from a fire hydrant when we are trying to find a few answers. Yes love it or loath it, the internet is a powerful tool. Learning how we can handle just the right amount of information to make an informed decision is a skill that many of us are still struggling with. One of our listeners asked us "How do you know when you've got enough information & how to put into practice. How do you avoid becoming overwhelmed with knowledge?" So during this podcast Paul and Gina talk through their own experiences with "Analysis Paralysis" and give a few tips and tricks on how to deal with information overload.

Just before our most recent podcast, Paul and I spoke together about the power of simply being in the moment. Of literally smelling the roses, coffee and whatever else turns you on. Of just looking around at all the things in our lives that we were thankful for. It stopped me dead in my tracks. Even more so when I tried an exercise he'd done himself to reinforce and connect with gratitude. When he described it to me, I can honestly say I had a moment of epiphany. It seemed so simple, yet so incredibly powerful, so I'd like to share it with you now: Just take a sheet of A4 paper, and write the word 'thank you' over and over again... until a name comes up. Then keep writing again, 'thank you' over and over. Until more names come up. Like me, you'll probably be quite surprised at the names on the list. You may find other words arise, not just names. That's perfectly okay. Whatever messages you receive from your subconscious are very powerful, so own them all. Then take some time out to just reflect on all the great things you have in your life. It could be good health, family, your children, a great job, getting fired from a job you loathed, being in a great relationship, or finally leaving a toxic one. Whatever you have to be grateful for, I can guarantee if you take just 5 or 10 minutes each day to remind yourself of all these wonderful people and situations, you'll feel far more at peace with yourself - and the world around you.

Using your intuition as a way to finding solutions to current issues can bring greater meaning and clarity to your life. Simply ask yourself: "What do I love?" and you will hear your intuition speak.

Something we've lost touch with the ability to do. We feel uncomfortable and vulnerable; and like we've failed or can't handle the pressure. But when it's offered, we're suspicious of the motive. Asking for help seems to be one of those dying arts. Something we've lost touch with the ability to do. We feel uncomfortable and vulnerable; and like we've failed or can't handle the pressure. But when it's offered, we're suspicious of the motive. Whilst the perfectionist or overachiever in us cringes at the thought of requesting assistance and sharing the load, our controlling aspects can feel desperate and frustrated, and this seems to add to our stress and uncertainty. Yet receiving help can be both a miracle and a gift - helping us to make progress and overcome challenges, whilst empowering the giver-of-help with a sense of achievement and purpose. They say two heads are better than one, so Gina & Sam put theirs' together to explore just why asking for help is so hard, and how we can take small steps towards fruitful collaboration.
