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.

Often these ideas keep coming back up (and may keep being forgotten about!), How many times have you had a great idea that you were excited about at the time, but have totally forgotten about a while later? Often these ideas keep coming back up (and may keep being forgotten about!), and can haunt you with the sense that you've not done anything about them. Paul and Sam discuss some tools and techniques to not only help you capture these lost ideas, but to solve some of the challenges of how to take action on them, letting them 'percolate', whether the timing is right, and how to start uncovering some creative solutions. Likewise, there are those ideas that we keep avoiding or things that really need to be done that seem to get harder and heavier the longer we resist taking action on them! **ACTION!** Join the discussion by sharing the idea(s) that just won't let go of you, and let's see whether we can all find those first steps that will mean half the effort of achieving them is already done! Revisiting a technique mentioned in one of our most popular podcasts How to Calm a Racing Mind, Stream of Consciousness (via writing, mind-mapping, drawing, voice recording or other method) can be just as helpful in taking action on these great ideas as it can be for coping with insomnia and many other areas!

We might label it as laziness or procrastination at those times when we really don't feel like we're making any head-way at all. But what is really going on? It could be that point in the rollercoaster ride where we are faced with a journey that looks entirely up-hill. Are you really being lazy? Could it be that you are just progressing towards your goal REALLY slowly? Have you overlooked what you've actually completed? Or even worse, are you actually moving in the opposite direction (away from what you want)? Join Paul & Sam as they explore how to tell which direction you're facing, whether you're moving or not, and some ways that you can start to measure & track your progress so that you are always clear on the action that is needed.

As we learn, The 3rd episode in their impromptu series on life's ups and downs, follows the progress of Sam & Paul's journeys through boiling point (1st) and swinging between extremes (2nd). Ignorance is not bliss. In fact, it tends to make life hell. As we learn, we are likely to move through 4 stages of competence - rarely jumping from Unconscious Incompetence (ignorance!) directly to Unconscious Competence (mastery!). Along the way, we pass through Conscious Incompetence (aware but struggling), and hopefully into Conscious Competence (aware and succeeding). Join Paul and Sam as they explore how their actions (no matter how imperfect/perfect, small/large) move them through the challenge of overwhelm and unresourcefulness, and into more aware states of learning, choice and empowerment; where things aren't all rosy but are a darn sight less ugly!

Join Sam and our latest Guest Podcaster Wyn Morgan - Executive Coach & Facilitator - as they discuss how one well-timed and well-chosen question can open up doors of options, energy and immediate action to get us through those times we just want to avoid! We all have days and/or moments where we: don't feel confident enough feel too fat/boring/unattractive don't have the energy for it have committed to something but don't really want to do it Sometimes we can 'force' ourselves into action, and at other times we give in to the resistance and indulge our desire to avoid whatever it is. It can be far more fun and easy though, to simply ask ourselves a question that encourages immediate action regardless of how we feel - and then lets our emotions and attitudes catch up to our new perspective!

We want something badly but aren't taking action, or we aren't taking action because we don't know what we want. We've lost the motivation. Rather than struggle to the point of frustration and disappointment, become more aware of the type of motivation you are seeking. Clarity always leads to power and once you get clear on what it is you want, and why you want it you'll be able to generate the deep internal drive to propel you to success. In this Action Podcast, Paul and Chris discuss how to find your motivation, and how to keep it to ensure you get the results you want. Action Podcast no
