It's a powerful phrase that describes the fact that what we think about we certainly do attract. So if your focus is on lack of money, lack of love, lack of relationships then that is exactly what you'll attract – more of the same.

And as a result, create a more powerful, fulfilling current reality in which we are consciously focusing on all the things we do want to create in our lives.

Whether you're a fan of Oprah Winfrey or not you have to admire her attempt to break new ground with her live, interactive and global Oprah's Lifeclass: the tour. In this podcast Gina and Chris build on the recent theme of 'What is Your Story?' which was discussed with Oprah and Tony Robbins on stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York. We all create stories in our mind about what we imagine a future experience will be like. Simple things like having an uncomfortable conversation with a colleague, what exercising first thing in the morning would be like, or why our bank account isn't a large as we want. It's our stories, not the facts, that create our feelings...which directly determines the quality and consistency of the action we take. Listen to this podcast to hear practical actions you can take immediately to move forward in spite of your story, and ultimately re-write a more empowering, effective and fulfilling story to live more of the life you want.

Not just whether you could have prevented it, but actually whether you've done something to contribute towards it? After suffering from several bouts of the 'flu in close succession, Gina decides to look at what might be causing this pattern of illness. Could there be other causes than just a virus or germs that could result in her body's ability to cope with the stresses and strains of life? Join Sam & Gina as they explore some of the ways in which our bodies communicate with us continuously, and how we can start listening to these messages of wisdom. From releasing pent up emotions through crying, to noticing patterns/recurring issues and ways to start learning how to listen to what your body is trying to tell you - this journey of metaphysical meanderings will give you a few starting points to develop better awareness of your body and what illness and injury can tell us about ourselves.

Major congratulations to our very own ActionPodcast Ironman Chris! He's been able to motivate himself to take part in Ironman Cozumel and came in with an incredible time of 13 hours. An amazing achievement. You might not want to do a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride followed by a 42.2km run (phew!) but there is probably one goal in your life you'd like to create. Any creation outside of your comfort zone requires a few key principles of discipline, courage, persistence and perhaps an extra special meaning that gives you a deeper level of determination. Whether that's to go after your dream job, your ideal partner or even an Ironman triathlon.

This podcast helps you beat the burnout with 5 top tips. The run-up to Christmas is an especially fraught time - especially for many female executives who are also juggling a family, parents and husbands/partners! Paul and Gina discuss simple ways you can take stock of your work and home life, and take immediate action to avoid meltdown in the pre- and post-holiday period. The most obvious symptom of burnout is often exhaustion—a fatigue you just can't kick, even by taking a few days off. But there's more to it than just being tired. You may even experience a loss of enthusiasm that often results in your doing the bare minimum, as well as a loss of faith in your abilities.  You may be short-tempered and even overreact to minor things. No matter what you do, you can't get all of it done well. You could actually start making more mistakes than usual or begin allow things to fall through the cracks. Listen to this podcast for some great instant tips to help you beat burnout!   Gina no 16:59 <iframe width="400" height="24" src="http://www.actionpodcast.com/?powerpress_embed=3555-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/heart-open-2-3571/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/heart-open-2-3571/#comments Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:14:46 +0000 Gina http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3571 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/heart-open-2-3571/feed/ 2 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/addicted-struggle-3416/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/addicted-struggle-3416/#comments Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:45:08 +0000 Gina http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3416 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/addicted-struggle-3416/feed/ 0 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/fully-engaged-3347/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/fully-engaged-3347/#comments Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:57:07 +0000 Gina http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3347 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/fully-engaged-3347/feed/ 0 action podcast,being present,Invictus,Ironman,Nelson Mandela,Podcast,triathlete,triathlon In this podcast, Chris and Gina discuss how being fully engaged in whatever you do can bring surprising results.

The riots and looting in London and other cities around the UK are shocking. An out of control mob mentality without conscience profiteering from a terrible situation. However, good always triumphs over thuggery. And the famous Brit Blitz spirit has surfaced yet again, resulting in flash mobs of so-called Wombles connecting via Twitter and Facebook to clean up Clapham, Battersea and other boroughs in the capital. Paul and Gina discuss how these groups of volunteers are sending a powerful message to the thugs: no matter what you do we will clean up and help our neighbours. Something always positive comes out of negative events, and it's been interesting to see how social networking has played a major part in bringing these Womble clean-up mobs together for the benefit of their own communities – and communities in other parts of London.   Gina no 11:56 <iframe width="400" height="24" src="http://www.actionpodcast.com/?powerpress_embed=3178-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/day-time-3168/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/day-time-3168/#comments Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:00:50 +0000 Gina http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3168 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/day-time-3168/feed/ 0 energy levels,one day at a time,Podcast Do you often feel you are lacking in energy?

Often we hear people say that if they had more money they would be able to do something else; something more exciting or interesting. Or they blame their current circumstances, having to look after the kids, an elderly relative or some other kind of commitment. All too often we find ourselves holding on to this wishful thought that if we had the freedom, things would be different. Well Paul and Gina are here to tell you that vision of freedom is, in fact, just an illusion. It's your own way of stopping you from actually fulfilling your dreams. By sustaining this illusion, people even feel somewhat satisfied that they have already attained their goal, even though it's just in their mind. This has the added benefit of them never having to go through the hard work and change that might be required to achieve this dream. So if you often find yourself lost in wishful thinking, it's time to shatter that illusion and start working towards making it a reality instead.   Paul no 13:43 <iframe width="400" height="24" src="http://www.actionpodcast.com/?powerpress_embed=3101-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/july-review-time-3059/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/july-review-time-3059/#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2011 02:00:42 +0000 Gina http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3059 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/july-review-time-3059/feed/ 0 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/energy-relationships-3061/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/energy-relationships-3061/#comments Mon, 04 Jul 2011 17:19:17 +0000 Chris http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3061 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/energy-relationships-3061/feed/ 0 awareness,decisions,energy,growth,improvement,Podcast,relationships,strategies Is that possible?

Special *extended* edition: don't let the word "journal" put you off! Regardless of whether you've not put pen to paper for decades, and the idea of writing without a computer keyboard seems a crime – it is still possible to make journaling work for you. So why should you bother? What are the benefits? This is a longer podcast than normal because whilst Gina & Sam are very passionate about their own daily journals, they realise that not everyone will be as excited or comfortable with the idea ... so they start by exploring some tips for people who might experience strong resistance to the idea of writing down their thoughts every day. The process of writing in this way can skyrocket your success and happiness: and alongside discussing the many benefits of journaling, they also explore some of the ways to make it work best for you.

Ever been accused of having high expectations? Whilst expectations themselves seem part of human nature, those of us who hold high expectations for ourselves - complete with perfectionist foibles - tend to have reasonably high expectations of those around us too. Particularly if they are close to us! But the greater the expectation, the more power it has to hurt us. All hurt and disappointment can be traced back to an expectation we've held. One of the 55 Concepts for Conscious Living tell us that "hurt is not getting what you want". The catch-22 of expectations though, is that we also tend to assume others know what it is we want! So we don't tell them - which means they'd either need to be mind-readers, or chances are they'll disappoint us somehow. How we respond to the inevitable hurts and disappoints has the ability to make or break our relationships. So join Gina and Sam as they discuss some of the ways that we can handle our great disappointments, and choose clarity as an alternative to our (un)great expectations - especially when it matters most!

Time management is always a challenge, but taking the time to use a few tricks to keep you on track can make a dramatic difference. If you think something should take 45 mins then setting an alarm for that time not only keeps you on track but also serves as a reminder that you need to focus on what you are doing. It's also great for making sure you take breaks that will actually add to your motivation rather than hinder it.

Are you true to yourself or do you feel frustrated by not being able to be yourself with people? Gina and Paul talk about how we all can find ourself in a situation where we find we just aren't being honest with ourselves or the people around us. Maybe we started to tell little white lies at first as it just didn't seem important, but now it's become unbearable. At the start of a relationship it's all to easy to adapt yourself to fit into the image that you think your potential partner is really looking for, only to find further down the line, you end up resenting them for "making" you act in a different way. Find out how being honest from the "get go" can really make your life and relationships a lot less troublesome in the future. Learn to be loved for who you really are.

After a recent visit to Florida, where he was impressed by the high level of customer service (often missing in the UK!) Paul shares his insights with Gina about providing good customer service. How can you provide good customer service to someone without feeling you are about to be taken advantage of? Here's how: by simply by giving yourself a few seconds to calm down and sense what the real issues are, what the person is asking for and how you can really be of most help to them. Giving great customer services does not mean you have to compromise yourself.

It's all too easy to fall into the habit of admonishing and punishing friends and loved ones for their irritating habits. How many times have you asked him/her to put the loo seat down, put the plates in the dish washer and not the sink and put their clothes away? It can be exhausting repeating yourself. And your pleas often fall on deaf ears! So after reading an article on reward vs punishment, Sam and Gina consider the benefits of encouraging a change in behaviour by focusing on the good things your partner's done. To encourage them and let them know you've noticed. We've put it into practice with our own partners (and more importantly - ourselves!) and the good news? It works!

Because there will always be someone taller, thinner, more beautiful and more successful than us.

Dove have successfully poked fun at the beauty industry in their brilliant ad campaigns.

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.

Paul and Gina discuss the fine art of accessing and using your intuition. Do you often have a gut feeling to do something, a calling perhaps? Do you follow it through with action, or just ignore it? 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. It's a simple as that! Your intuition speaks the truth. Follow your intuition, instead of your rational mind, and you'll be much happier.

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.
