Life is a journey of peaks and troughs, mayhem and magic, laughter and tears, breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs. And in the middle of it all is you. And me. LIFE is a daily podcast about all that. Six to ten minutes exploring one life-shaping idea, topic, question, problem and/or solution that (with some work from you) might change your life for the better. Enjoy.
Launching Wednesday 15 March 2023!
In this episode, I talk about staying productive even when we lack motivation, creating an accountability system and the importance of building habits aligned to our goals and purpose. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today I talk about the ‘need’ to be right, having a purpose bigger than ourselves and people-pleasing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today I talk about biofeedback, our relationship with food, the quality of our questions and different realities. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today I talk about learning to unlearn, delaying gratification, why clarity is important and understanding the personal reality of others. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The next few eps of LIFE is me sharing some brief get-yet-shit-together micro workshops. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Being able to physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and professionally adapt in a world of uncertainty, is a super-power. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If someone finds the word 'elbow' offensive and you use that word in conversation (1) they will be offended (2) they will consider you to be 'offensive' (3) the other ten people in the conversation won't be offended and (4) this sh*t is confusing AF (which to some people... is offensive). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Every week, a few people tell me (in one way or another) that I'm a f**kwit who isn't worth listening to. Or reading. Sometimes they're right. And while it doesn't feel great (obviously), I appreciate these people because they keep me grounded, make me think, challenge me to grow, build my resilience and help me stay a little insecure. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You might be amazed at the number of people I've spoken with who found themselves in a crap situation as a result of their personal choices and then say something like... "I have no idea how I got here." You are and I are decision-making machines. Our choices determine our actions, our actions impact our outcomes, our outcomes shape our reality, and our reality is where we live. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Not surprisingly, this brief episode is my thoughts about success (lol). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I asked ChatGPT to write me something inspirational, that I might share with you. Literally ten seconds later, I had a 700 word 'script'. This is that (and a little running commentary). *Warning: this episode definitely won’t change your life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We talk about it all the time but what does high-performance actually mean away from the elite athletes, famous actors, Nobel Prize winners, Astronauts, billionaires and musical superstars? How can you and I (assuming you're none of the above list) become high-performers in our own right? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Who and how would you be if you grew up in a different environment, with different people, upbringing, programming, schooling, influences and experiences? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today’s instalment of LIFE is something I wrote a few years ago but it’s still relevant. It’s about you. craigharper.net See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We all have faith in something (or things) but what does that mean exactly? What is faith? Well, it's not knowledge. Believing in something is not the same as knowing something. Many people confuse their faith with absolute knowledge but interestingly, having absolute knowledge about something eradicates the need for faith (in that thing).

If you need a few simple, creative and effective ideas to get your metabolic wheels turning, tune the-fuck in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I think most humans have a void. An internal void. This is me thinking out loud, about that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's so easy to overlook and under-appreciate the gifts we have in our world. To look past the ninety-nine great things and obsess about the one not-so-great. Sometimes we need to find an attitude of gratitude. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I saw these words over the front door of a business on the way home from the eye doctor. You won't be surprised to learn that they sent my mind down a cognitive and philosophical rabbit hole. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When it comes to building our best life, how much of that 'building' should be strategic, process-driven and cerebral, and how much should be freestyle, intuitive and instinctive? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In simple terms, Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability you and I have to understand how other people think, and why they think the way they do. Not to agree or disagree, just to understand. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) explores the relationship between what's happening in the mind and how it impacts the body. Psychology and physiology. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The title says it all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For better or worse, you are always creating outcomes. Consciously or not. Intentionally or not. With your fitness, health, career, relationships, finances, projects, lifestyle, specific goals and lots more. So, what are your results saying? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Your attention is a valuable commodity. Whatever has your attention has you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There's the stuff we know and there's the stuff we believe. Evidence-based knowledge and faith-based belief. Problems can arise when we confuse the two. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When it comes to living your best life on Planet You, what are your self-designated personal rules for optimal living? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If part (or all) of your job/role is to inspire, lead, educate, inform, coach, manage and/or create connection with humans, and you don't have storytelling and humour in your interpersonal toolkit, you're missing out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
People have been telling me for decades that I work too much. Here's what I think about what they think. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There are hundreds of variables and factors which influence the likelihood of someone succeeding (or failing) and creating lasting change (or not). But there's one key reason why so many people don't achieve what they set out to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
