What’s Coming This Episode?

When we feel devalued by rejection it is because we do not value our self enough. The feeling of rejection happens within us, it is not done to us we do it to our self.

That said, rejection is something that will haunt us all at one time or another, so let’s dive deeper and explore it this week…

What’s Coming This Episode?

Worrying is a habit, being happy is a habit. If you are a worrier, or if you are happy, where did you learn it?

When you are a worrier it is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD. Rumination on anything will make it bigger and bigger. It follows that rumination on positive things will lead to positive feelings and happiness. So…

Don’t worry, be happy. It’s The Self Help Podcast! Enjoy the show 🙂

What’s Coming This Episode?

Some addictions are unconscious habits while others are avoidance habits. It can be easy to slip into habits of behaviour through family and friends etc. You may even have a genetic propensity towards certain behaviours.

What are you addicted to?

What’s Coming This Episode?

At what point do we stand back from life, do we retire?

For some people this begins at fifty and for others it never happens. Our definition of success and happiness is waking with a smile on your face feeling that you have something that you truly want to get out of bed for something to go and do that if both meaningful and fulfilling. For many this is called work, though many do not realise it until they retire.

Whether you do it for money, or the love of it, don’t stand back, remain involved and engaged in the process of life and living. We promise you that you will be happier.

It’s The Self Help Podcast! Enjoy the show 🙂

What’s Coming This Episode?

Oh my word, we’ve somehow managed to clock up a whole year of podcasts! It’s been a joy to be honest (aside from the late Wednesday nights editing the darn thing) but first we’d like to say a HUGE thank you to all who have listened and continue to support the show – we actually crossed the 100,00 download mark last week which is kind of mind boggling.

Aside from discussing our anniversary this week, Sean and Ed dive deeper into the subject of age, ageing and why some people seem to be able to appreciate their ‘twilight’ years better than others.

Thanks again and here’s to another year of getting better each and every day.

It’s The Self Help Podcast! Enjoy the show 🙂
