There can be many reasons why we get blocked from achieving our goals.
Today I'm going to explore a few of them.

Episode 190: Conflict Avoidance
Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
Avoiding conflict can influence the big things in life as well as the small things. It's why people split up over text rather than actually deal with a relationship problem face to face. And if you've ever had a huge sense of relief if you ring someone about a problem and their phone goes to voicemail, you'll know what I mean.

Episode 189: Energy Levels
Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
With some enthusiasm we can go from dragging our feet and saying how tired we are to suddenly being alert and awake. But whether it's about scripting a podcast episode or going for a run, it's really easy to say to ourselves "I don't feel like it" and if your energy levels have dropped it's definitely worth looking into why.
Episode 188: Impulse Control
Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
Whether it's because of tempting treats in your cupboard, the opportunity to play at online roulette or trying to push away thoughts that we don't like. Sometimes our brain works against us rather than for us and leads us down paths we were deliberately trying to avoid.

Episode 181: The Foundations Of Confidence
Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
Confidence can be a tricky subject to talk about because its so big and ambiguous. What is confidence to one person is arrogance to someone else. Also, someone can be confident but still be anxious in certain situations, so it's even hard to define it really.

Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
I've had a lot of messages from listeners asking for mental health advice during all this Coronavirus craziness.
It's on every website, every news channel. Every conversation you overhear in a shop. It's on everyones minds and so it should be...to a degree.

Question: When is an Eagle not an Eagle?
Answer: When it thinks it's a Chicken.
Despite being an Eagle, if you think you're a Chicken can you really fly above everyone?

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Or as Albert Einstein once said "He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."
Today is all about my 5 tips on a more enthusiastic life! That and a massive rant at the end about mental health priorities in government policy making, sorry!
