Episode 38 - Stop trying to get it ALL right 6:54

2+ y ago6:54

6:54

I never would have described myself as a 'perfectionist' (and I'm not sure it's helpful to label ourselves with such things anyway), but a few situations have cropped up lately where I have noticed myself trying to get EVERYTHING right! Not wanting to upset anyone. Wanting to do the right thing. Afraid of making a mistake. Worrying about how I coul…

Episode 37 - Life is a dancefloor 5:28

2+ y ago5:28

5:28

Sometimes life is a really sparkly, uplifting, euphoric dancefloor, where I get lost in the rhythm of life and feel completely in my groove. AND Sometimes it's one of those sticky, grotty ones, where my feet stick to the floor kinda dancefloors (we've all been there right..), where the tunes are just not my vibe and I'm waiting for the track to cha…

Episode 36 - Is your anxiety a distraction from something else? 6:48

2+ y ago6:48

6:48

Many people I work with experience a lot of anxiety (no surprise I'm sure). It's the main topic of conversation, and I understand why. Anxiety is uncomfortable and loud. It's a real show stopper, and with good reason - it's our bodies way of alerting us to risk, threat or danger. It's the alarm telling us that something is wrong. And we are obsesse…

Episode 35 - Instead of focusing on becoming your BEST self. Focus on becoming your WHOLE self 6:12

2+ y ago6:12

6:12

It can be tempting to be lured into thinking that we need to 'upgrade' ourselves in some way. Become a 'better version' of ourselves. But in my experience this leads us away from self-acceptance, which for me is the way to true peace and happiness. Focusing on becoming our 'best' selves is located in the future. It tells us that who we are now is n…

Episode 34 - What does being BOLD mean to you? 5:02

2+ y ago5:02

5:02

Standing out? Being controversial? Eccentric? A rebel? Someone who speaks their mind. These might spring to mind when you think of the term bold. In this episode I share what being bold means to me and I really want to know what it means to you too. Find out more at leahsiandavies.comBy Leah Sian Davies

Episode 33 - You are not ‘unmotivated’. Maybe your nervous system is trying to protect you 14:11

2+ y ago14:11

14:11

Do you sometimes feel stuck, lacking motivation, or lethargic? You have things you want to do (in your mind), but your body just doesn't want to move. Maybe you tell yourself you're lazy and unmotivated. I don't think this is the case. Let me explain what is happening in your nervous system. Buckle up for a mini lesson in Polyvagal theory. I think …

Episode 32 - The mind can’t outsmart the body 12:04

2+ y ago12:04

12:04

This one is for you if you are interested in psychology, done some personal development, you've read lots of self-help books, and have a good understanding of where your habits, beliefs and behaviours come from.

Episode 31 - It’s not pain we fear, it’s joy 8:31

2+ y ago8:31

Episode 30 - How to feel good on the inside 8:14

2+ y ago8:14

8:14

Life doesn't just happen in the things we do, it happens in how we feel when we are doing the things. It happens in how we feel when we are not doing anything. We can do lovely things, but if we are not able to enjoy them then what's the point. Life happens on the inside. We live inside our own experience, so let's make that a cosy place to be.In t…

Episode 29 - Do you long to feel more creative, playful and carefree? 9:39

2+ y ago9:39

9:39

So many of us are desperate to get back in touch with our creative, playful, carefree side. The thing is, there are reasons why this is so hard to reach. We can't be 'carefree' when there is a lot to 'care' about. AND - for many of us we have never truly experienced what it feels like to be 'carefree'. In this episode I share some ways we can recla…

Episode 28 - Are you living in the past? 7:14

2+ y ago7:14

7:14

Are you living in the past? What's your reaction to that question? What comes up in you? What do you feel in your body? Most of us (unconsciously) are living in the past. But what happens when some of those patterns start getting a bit annoying, unhelpful and cause us more harm than comfort? Find out more at leahsiandavies.com…

Ok, you really want to learn to love yourself. You really want to be kinder to yourself and do the things that you know would make you feel good.

Episode 22 – Why this podcast WON'T change your life 22:59

3+ y ago22:59

22:59

There is a gap between what you 'know' and how you 'feel'. So you feel bad about it. You tell yourself 'I should be more grateful, my life is good.' 'I should have more patience with my kids'. 'There must be something wrong with me'. You can’t change how you ‘feel’ by simply reading books and listening to podcasts (not even this one). You might und…

Here’s me flying solo in this episode. I’m talking today about crying as it’s something that naturally came up in the last series on grief.
