The saying that "practice makes perfect" is oft quoted, particularly from hopeful parents to their children; so what does this mean and how can we adopt an everyday action approach that delivers greater-than-anticipated results? What Do We Mean By Learning from Practice? At ActionPodcast we know that regular, consistent action is far more effective (and sustainable) than spikes of intense activity. When we work at something little and often, we start building a set of skills that take us from a state of conscious effort towards automatic ability - the more you repeat something, the easier it becomes. One form of this is described as 'muscle memory' whereby the repetition of a physical action becomes so ingrained that it is easier to do it naturally than to actually stop and think about it first. In this way, practice does make perfect, and the learning of specific things through repetition enhances not just your ability but your confidence too. This is a virtuous circle, because the more confident you become, the more comfortable you feel with pushing your boundaries and the more you enjoy the experience. Learning from Practice Requires Two Ingredients It is these two factors - continuing to enhance your skills (by pushing the boundaries of your ability) and your intrinsic enjoyment of the process - that facilitate the cycle of learning from practice. If you inherently enjoy the action you are taking regularly and you can see a continual improvement in your skills, then you are much more likely to move towards a state of mastery of that experience. Ironically, this suggests that you are starting from a place of inexperience or lack of ability precipitated by either a need or a desire to do something well; and it is this assumption that can make some people feel uncomfortable. The Value of Practising If you are naturally good at something, it can be easy to assume that innate talent will be sufficient. We all have something specific that we find easy to do that others around us struggle with, and that ease can cause us to take it for granted. But when you love something or truly desire to be great at it, even natural ability needs to be honed, directed and nurtured. So for Sam, the effort of working at something she loved - like playing the piano - was a sharp reminder that she wasn't immediately brilliant at it to begin with. Despite the logic of "practice makes perfect", this discomfort led to the question of Why should I work at something difficult when there are plenty of other things I am naturally better at? This perspective devalued Sam's perception of practice, and created a stumbling block that has taken three decades to overcome! Thankfully, a growing awareness and a few sources of inspiration (The Voice - Australia, Britain's Got Talent & her partner) helped her reverse this recently. Join Paul and Sam as they discuss how regular practice honours our ability to learn and master a skill, and boosts our confidence through joyful discipline. Committing to learning from practice of something we truly love - even if we aren't a child prodigy - is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves; and all it could take is a little inspiration and a slight reframing of the concept of practice. What have you always wanted to learn, but never quite been able to commit the time or define a need for? What would inspire you to allow yourself to begin at the beginning, and give it a try?

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.

The idea of a week or two away might sound like a dream come true, but for many of us an approaching holiday signifies a period of major stress: Things seem to get busier at work, and we want to clear any loose ends before we go away; Preparing to travel (incl. packing) requires a lot of planning and organisation; Our health or holiday budgets can become a concern; Arranging care for our pets can be difficult; And even getting the house ready (so that we don't come back to a mess) can wear us out. What can you do if you failed the holiday stress test? Instead of questioning whether your holiday is actually worth all the stress of preparing for it, you can start to explore what causes you to feel most stressed in the lead-up to a trip. Think back to your last few trips - what were the common patterns/issues? You don't want to be left feeling like you need a holiday to recover from the holiday (!), so once you understand what particularly causes your pre-holiday stress a few small changes might make all the difference, allowing you to truly enjoy the holiday you deserve. Could you be adding to your own pre-holiday stress? We can also set unrealistic expectations for ourselves prior to a vacation (this is not the time to do a complete spring clean, or wardrobe clear-out!), or even find that our travelling companion(s) have different approaches to travel preparation that might clash with ours... Listen to this podcast to hear Chris & Sam share some strategies to make the experience easier - so that next time you take the holiday stress-test you'll hopefully get a different result. Here's to stress-free travel!

A clear list of priorities to give us focus, purpose and clarity on where our attention and energy should go. What's more rare - yet equally as powerful - is getting clear, acknowledging and facing up to the things you know you shouldn't do. We all do it: defaulting to checking and continuously refreshing our emails, going to Facebook, or putting our energy in smaller, easier tasks than the more important items that will really give us the results we want. In this podcast, Sam and Chris discuss the simple power of creating a daily "NOT To Do" list to accompany your regular action items. A clear reminder to yourself of the things you shouldn't do since they take away your success, happiness or productivity. Have you tried using a Not To Do List before?

Facebook sometimes (like now :o) seem like a displacement activity for me, while in fact it is where I do most my business :o) But should I be Tweeting? And is it a disaster in this iPhone/Pad age to have a Flash site? (oh the thought of rebuilding my website . . . ) PS. I think Gina should open every episode with a song Have a great week guys Vig Facebook and Twitter the two biggest time drains Facebook is great for keeping up to date with friends and family, as well as brands, TV show, and products that you love. But if you are frustrated by the lack of responses from your status updates, be aware that Facebook automatically filters everyone's feed. Twitter is a fun way to connect with new like minded people. There's a pretty steep learning curve and for a while you might just not "get it". Twitter also have limits on the number of people you can follow so this can be frustrating at times too. It's important to connect with other people in all sorts of ways. Having friends over, meeting people for business, or if you are looking for love then bars, clubs and dating agencies are good too. These are all just different ways of connecting with people, just as online social media is too. But it's certainly not the be all and end all. Having experienced (and been guilty of) having to deal with friends constantly checking their phones for updates, you might have to find new ways to ensure an acceptable use policy! One interesting concept I heard, was for everyone at the table has to put the phone in a stack, in the middle of the table. The first person to remove their phone to check for messages or take a call, gets to pay the bill!

Some of the best parts of LinkedIn are actually the groups and the Q&A sections. If you're not using them, then you are missing out on a massive part of the LinkedIn community! Blogging is open to everyone and every business. It's a great way of telling a story at your own pace on a subject you feel passionately about. As there are millions of blogs around you're bound to find one on a topic that you're interested in. However sadly it can be a bit of a thankless task as often your posts can seem to go unheard for a long time. Building up a base of readers and earning comments takes a lot of time and commitment, which is why it needs to be on a topic you love talking about, otherwise you'll soon lose interested and quit.

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, When you get sick or injured, do you stop to wonder why? 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/myth-confidence-3521/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/myth-confidence-3521/#comments Sun, 27 Nov 2011 10:26:04 +0000 Sam http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3521 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/myth-confidence-3521/feed/ 0 Podcast,self doubt,self esteem,self-belief We love getting topic suggestions!

I understand that the switch needs to be made from negative to positive thought patterns, especially in scary situations which have to be addressed...

By acknowledging the good things that you have achieved recently will make a dramatic difference because moving forward from a great place is far easier than trying to escape a negative rut that you may believe you are in.   Paul no 12:32 <iframe width="400" height="24" src="http://www.actionpodcast.com/?powerpress_embed=3410-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/problem-isnt-problem-3470/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/problem-isnt-problem-3470/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:16:50 +0000 Chris http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3470 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/problem-isnt-problem-3470/feed/ 1 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/reason-successful-3384/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/reason-successful-3384/#comments Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:00:28 +0000 Chris http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3384 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/11/reason-successful-3384/feed/ 0 confusion,delay,Podcast,procrastination,results Sometimes, when we want to achieve something, complete something or simply get started, we can see obstacles that lie before us. - What's harder is seeing the obstacles that lie within us. - In this podcast, Sometimes, when we want to achieve something, complete something or simply get started, we can see obstacles that lie before us.

Life can often throw up it's own unique challenges, however creating your own challenges can be an extremely effect way to develop yourself in a direction of your own choosing. Recently Paul challenged Chris and Sam to record a 1 minute video each day. As this wasn't something we do frequently, it was a great way for us to test the waters and see what resistance our inner voice can come up with (Note from Paul: "sometimes I like to think of it as my inner 'jerk'!"). It's truly amazing how resistant you can become to trying something new, and yet once you actually get into the swing of it, you begin to wonder why as it seems so simple and natural. During this podcast Paul and Chris talk about some of the ways you can challenge yourself, and if you listen right to the very end, you can also challenge the presenters themselves!   Paul no 11:19 <iframe width="400" height="24" src="http://www.actionpodcast.com/?powerpress_embed=3330-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/skill-moving-selfish-selfless-3370/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/skill-moving-selfish-selfless-3370/#comments Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:15:19 +0000 Chris http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3370 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/skill-moving-selfish-selfless-3370/feed/ 2 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/letting-go-3338/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/letting-go-3338/#comments Sun, 09 Oct 2011 13:38:27 +0000 Paul http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3338 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/10/letting-go-3338/feed/ 0 Autumn,Fall,feelings,Job,leaves,Podcast,relationship,season,time of year We've hit the season of Fall or Autumn as we call it here in the UK, very much a time of change and of letting go, as reflected in nature at this time of year. - Whether it be a relationship that's no longer working, or a job that you want to leave, We've hit the season of Fall or Autumn as we call it here in the UK, very much a time of change and of letting go, as reflected in nature at this time of year. Whether it be a relationship that's no longer working, or a job that you want to leave, now is a very natural time of year to let go. During this podcast Gina and Paul discuss the two phases of letting go. Firstly, identifying situations where it's appropriate to let go. Secondly managing the results of implementing the change and gaining support through what can be a very difficult time.

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/suffering-silence-apathy-3233/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/suffering-silence-apathy-3233/#comments Wed, 24 Aug 2011 20:14:27 +0000 Paul http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3233 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/suffering-silence-apathy-3233/feed/ 0 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/spotting-warning-signs-3196/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/spotting-warning-signs-3196/#comments Sun, 21 Aug 2011 19:05:47 +0000 Sam http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3196 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/08/spotting-warning-signs-3196/feed/ 0 action,change,finances,Podcast,reflection,review,warning signs Warning signs serve a purpose: they signal that something needs to change.

Warning signs serve a purpose: they signal that something needs to change. Yet we can get so caught up in life and its everyday dramas that we sometimes fail to heed the warnings. In a recent blog post, Chris suggests it is worth reviewing your 'current life' twice a year, particularly to take an honest look at which parts are sending you warnings that something isn’t right - and that you might be ignoring! Join Sam and Chris as they explore some of the ways to spot warning signs using Sam's real-life experiences as an example, and how even the smallest changes can make a significant difference in helping you turn things around. P.S. Since recording this, Sam has taken her two actions and really believes it is worth taking action before the warning signs become less subtle!

Or they blame their current circumstances, What is freedom to you? Financial, emotional, occupational? 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/harry-potter-deathly-hallows-3087/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/harry-potter-deathly-hallows-3087/#comments Wed, 20 Jul 2011 19:01:02 +0000 Sam http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3087 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/harry-potter-deathly-hallows-3087/feed/ 0 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/information-diet-3085/ http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/information-diet-3085/#comments Sun, 17 Jul 2011 18:18:22 +0000 Paul http://www.actionpodcast.com/?p=3085 http://www.actionpodcast.com/2011/07/information-diet-3085/feed/ 0 creativity,diet,episode,information,Podcast,success Do you get the feeling of being a bit overloaded with all the information that is available to you daily?

Refresher on the roller coaster of life! Sometimes it feels like we’re swinging from one extreme to the other – one moment careening towards a crash, and a moment later, struggling up the mountain without a clear view of when (or if) we’ll reach the top. Life can feel like a rollercoaster ride of heady peaks and stomach-churning troughs, and whilst we would all be terribly bored if it was just a flat track to the horizon… wouldn’t it be great if we could learn to balance out those pendulum-swings just a little? Even-it-up a bit so that it flowed more smoothly, and we could actually start to enjoy the ride?

"I'd never believe something without questioning it first!" ... Really? ... Never? When we hold a belief that is so absolute there is no escaping it, this has real consequences for who we are, how we behave and how we react to situations or people. Yet we don't always realise we are being so totalitarian. Even if we catch ourselves uttering definitive sentences, we might wonder why it matters - "So what if I think all women love shopping?" or "So what if I believe relationships always end badly?" or "I've never been any good at maths, why should I care now?" Rather than suggest it is absolutely necessary, Paul and Sam simply suggest it might be worth exploring a belief you have that seems inflexible... join them as they share some tips for how to identify an absolute belief, and then some ways to gently challenge this - from the ridiculous to the more scientific! You might also want to ponder: What would it mean to you if it wasn't always true? Many thanks to Rob for the topic suggestion that sent us down a rabbit hole, where we discovered Pandora's Box!

Another intriguing topic request via Twitter, from @TamworthGrice on how to deal with psychobabble. We've all had the experience of someone giving us the most infuriating piece of advice, regardless of how well-intentioned it is - especially when they seem to be quoting clichéd phrases just "Just learn to let it go". These sorts of banal phrases can really push our buttons, but this ultimately makes the situation (and how we're feeling) worse. So Sam and Paul explore some ways to not only re-frame the moments when we find ourselves on the receiving end of a poorly-timed or unhelpful piece of advice, but also some alternative ways of responding to the psychobabble that could help take the sting out of it.

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.

Trying to do something new for the first time can be daunting, and even once you get started it can still feel downright difficult. Whether it is trying to turn your hand to a new skill at work, put a new habit in place or do what's needed to adjust to change, it can be painful regardless of whether it is something you want to do or not. Have you recently started something new, or been hesitating from taking the plunge?

If you often wake up grumbling, and generally have to drag yourself out of bed in the mornings, then you might not realise how this affects you for the rest of the day. Starting with low energy means everything feels more draining and difficult. But if you get off to a good start with a quick routine that boosts your energy immediately and leaves you feeling motivated, then chances are you'll have a much better day too! Join Chris and Sam as they discuss Tip #1 from the ActionPodcast eBook - 80 Tips, Tricks & Perspective Shifts for Everyday Action - and find out how this can help even the most adamant non-morning-person! Whether it is a quick physical burst, a calm mental focus or a dietary delight, you'll discover how one simple change (or a combination of them) will transform your whole day and leave you feeling great. And if you want to know more about Sam's Awesome Vegan Smoothie (inspired by Chris!), here's how you can create one yourself: Makes roughly 1 pint of smoothie. You'll ideally need to have a good quality blender, although if you leave out the cacao nibs then it's not quite so important. 3 Large bananas 1-2 handfuls of pre-washed baby spinach A generous sprinkling of ground almonds A light sprinkling of raw cacao nibs (if you like some crunch) Cold water (enough to thin to taste) You can use whole or chopped nuts, of whichever type you like, but ground ones are easier on the blender and I love almonds! Peel & break up the bananas and drop them into the blender. Add the ground almonds, and (optional) cacao nibs, top with the baby spinach leaves, and then add water (a few hundred ml should be enough, but you can vary the thickness of the smoothie with the water). Make sure the water is cold, as warm smoothie isn't nearly as nice! Blend just enough for there to be no remaining banana chunks, and for the clunking of the cacao nibs to have lessened. Don't over-blend, as the bananas can become goopy. Pour it out into a pint glass, and enjoy! It might look bizarre, but I find it delicious - and it leaves me feeling fab all day! There's an infinite amount of variation you can apply to this (different fruit, nuts, supplements etc), so just get creative and find something that works 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!

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.

If you follow me ( Paul ) on Twitter ( twitter.com/lifcoach ) then you'll know that recently I was rushed to hospital, as it turns out, I was passing a 4mm kidney stone. Now, I'm told that this is the closest pain to childbirth. Considering the amount of pain killers I was given, I certainly believe it was pretty close! During my experience, I found myself on several occasions that I had to "check-in" with myself. I was finding that whilst the pain came in waves, sometimes I would be so busy shouting and screaming that I'd occasionally not notice that the pain has actually subsided! It got me thinking what else am I, or other people, trying to cope with that's actually is no longer true.

At the same time, we don't often think about what being mentally healthy is like either, or what our mental health can actually mean for our daily lives. Join Paul and Sam for this podcast 'experiment' as they explore what their own personal definitions are - and give you the opportunity to discover yours. We all experience life's ups and downs, and go through periods of stress; so what if there was a personal checklist just for you that could help you cope with those experiences a bit better? Let's find out! Ideally, you'll need to have 1-2 minutes where you can pause the podcast at the appropriate point and jot down a few ideas in response to a question. If that isn't convenient, then do try to make time to find your own answers later on - as they'll be much more meaningful for you and will hopefully give you a blueprint or some signposts to come back to and take action on. We would love to hear whether you've found this experiment helpful or not, so please let us know!

Thanks to Cassandra for this week's topic suggestion:- "@KillerCassandra Do a podcast on patience, and do it now, not tomorrow and not next week and not next month. Did you do it yet?" Patience seems to be something that everyone has an issue with at some time. Paul and Sam talk about some of the pit falls and things you can do to actively work on issues with patience.
