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.

Some of the resources and experts mentioned in the podcast include:

Louise L Hay – Heal Your Body

Lise Bourbeau – Your Body’s Telling You: Love Yourself

Brandon Bays – The Journey

Deepak Chopra – Quantum Healing

The Empowering Paradox of Failure

Posted on 9 February, 2012 by Chris

Earlier this week I spent three days with a group of 20 passionate yet overworked and nearly burned out video game developers. My task: to help them to better understand the impact of the choices they make. Specifically the ones that prevent them from performing at a sustainable high level and keep them from experiencing more consistent happiness and fulfillment.

Without exception, every time I’ve had the opportunity to guide people to greater understanding of the forces that shape their behaviour, and help them to identify new behaviours that they WANT to do, KNOW is good for them, and KNOW will serve the greater good, there is one common question that arises.

Will it really last?

It happens every time.

Change is hard. Can I really change?

Whether it’s a 25-year old video game coder or a 55-year old global business leader, the self-doubt is the same. After all, they’ve been building up years of Read more of this article »

Motivate an Ironman Spectator to become an Ironman Contestant

Posted on 5 February, 2012 by Chris, Gina

Recorded in early December, Chris shares with Gina his own challenges and how he was able to motivate himself from being an Ironman triathlon spectator to becoming an Ironman contestant in only a few years.

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.

Listen to Chris and Gina discuss “the difference that makes all the difference”.
