Good morning friends, another morning, another episode. I truly hope you've enjoyed this extra bit of company first thing in the morning to start your day. Today I'm talking to you a little bit about how you can reset and use the 80/20 rule at this moment in time :) Let me know what you think. Best, Lawrence

Good morning folks, I'm experimenting with some morning only episodes for you. Reason being, a lot of people have mentioned they like to listen first thing in the morning so I'm providing you with some company whether that be on your morning walk or commute. As I say, just an experiment so please let me know/give me feedback in the comments. If I get a lot of positive vibes, I'll keep it up :) Have a good one! Lawrence

Hello wonderful listeners, I'm fresh from a week off where I had zero wifi or signal so I'm sharing my experience of that with you today in the hope of inspiring you how to embrace solitude for yourself. A lot of you said you struggled with not knowing how to or being scared of not being busy, so I'm sharing some tips on how you can today :) Write to me with your thoughts at lawrence.selfimprove@gmail.com Sunday Thoughts Newsletter - https://sunny-painter-2539.ck.page/profile...

Hello friends, today is all about what to do when life gets too busy. Far too often we allow life to get on top of us. We perhaps lack boundaries but most of the time we are mimicking life around us. This isn't our fault but we can take more control. Choosing what we want to spend our time doing is a choice and you have to be brave enough to live with that reputation. Being decisive can be the difference between you being happy and not. Let me know what you think by writing to me or commenting. ...

Hello wonderful listeners, today is a biggie. I feel strongly about this topic so it's important to consider this side of the argument. I explore the toxic side of self-improvement. The side that actually does the opposite of what it intends to do. When we're doing self-improvement things for the sake of it instead of for the benefit of ourselves. These things we do create a feeling of inadequacy in our own heads and can actually be more damaging than beneficial. This is important to me so pleas...

Wow, quite an episode today. A lot of profound thoughts spilling out about simple living. I can't believe over the last 3 years I've formulated thoughts like these but it makes sense because I live and breathe them each day. I hope, without overwhelming, that it inspires you to take action and implement it into your own life. I'm not saying it's easy, nothing is, but it's important to do now rather than in 5 or 10 years time. We are not designed to live a life of hell comparing ourselves on soci...

Hello lovely listeners, today is all about our own mindset. I challenge you to analyse and look at how you view yourself. Everything we do can come from a place of love or a place of punishment yet we can fall into auto-pilot for a lot of these things, especially negatively. Over time, this negative headspace can drain us so it's time to wake up and flick the switch. How can you show more self-love with things you automatically think negatively about with yourself? Write to me on Instagram or em...

Hello lovely listeners, today is all about living our lives more optimally. Assessing how we live day to day is important for a life well lived. We are surrounded by extremes at this moment about waking up super early and being super discipline. This is not what makes us happy. Living the way that makes you feel good is what makes us happy.

A special episode today as we celebrate and reflect 3 years of the podcast - every week for 3 years - a lesson in consistency for 156 weeks. Me and my good friend Dan reflect upon the journey up to the podcast and how that has contributed to where I am now. We also discuss different aspects of self improvement and what they mean to us considering it's been 3 years of exploration. Simpler living, anxiety and richness of life to name a few.

Good morning folks :) Today are my thoughts around living more simply. Prioritising the things that make you feel alive rather than playing the game of keeping up with everyone else. When was the last time you stopped and analysed the things that you really love doing? It's time to switch our mindset to a more simple one for the longevity as this is the ultimate holy grail for out existence. Just think of that 80 year old walking down the street living their best life - it's because they keep it...

Morning folks, hope you've had a wonderful week since I spoke to you last. Today is all about choosing our pain. Everyone makes sacrifices for the things they love, but everything we do comes with a downside. It's just the way life works.

Good morning folks, I am talking today about the importance of having free time aside for our mental well-being today. There is the common advice of saying no but this is more selfish than that, this is your time with zero expectations and knowing how it'll bring the best version of yourself out to play each and everyday. View it as a form of self-care. I like to think of it as reset time. Some might call it boring, I call it vital. Let me know your thoughts by writing to me or commenting below....

Hey guys, I'm recording every morning now as I am feeling the joy of turning pro. Find the thing you feel you can turn up every day and do, it's truly liberating.

Morning folks, I'm firing out the episodes at the moment due to a love for the craft so I hope you don't mind. Today I'm looking at balancing our bases in life. I believe that it is more common for people to narrow down than be more balanced and the world needs more balanced lives. There is so much joy in the ordinary day to day than we realise and I want you to see it too for yourself. How can you implement the simple things in life from today?

Good morning folks, focussing on mastering the craft of podcasting so please excuse the extra episodes if they appear. Hopefully it gives you more options to listen to :) I'm talking about perspective today and how important it is to reframe our thoughts sometimes. We can be overly negative about life despite things being pretty good. We will always have to compromise on certain things but what's key is that we align with our values at that time.

It can improve, we can lose it and we can build it back up. I listened briefly to Simon Sinek talk about it and it felt like such a good idea I couldn't not share my thoughts on it.
