  • Into the Bubble: How Fighter Pilots Stay Focused and Find Flow—And How You Can Too
    2024/10/04
    Fighter pilots are experts at developing the power of focus under pressure. Fighter pilot turned Head of UK Military Flying Training Rob Caine explains the powerful concept of "the bubble"—a state that helps block out distractions and allows for complete concentration on the task at hand. Whether you’re flying a jet, preparing for a presentation at work or just trying to focus at work, creating a bubble of focus is key to reaching your peak performance. We also discuss how the bubble helps us tap into a flow state, where our best work happens naturally and effortlessly. Key topics include: The Bubble: How fighter pilots use it to shut out distractions, maintain calm, and stay focused, even in the most demanding environments. Finding Flow: How the bubble creates the perfect conditions for flow—a state where actions feel effortless, and peak performance just happens without force. Expanding Your Bubble: The more experience you gain, the larger your bubble becomes—allowing you to manage distractions without losing focus. Applying the Bubble in Everyday Life: How you can create your own bubble of focus, communicate it with others, and manage distractions—whether preparing for a big presentation or simply trying to get into flow during a busy day. By learning to create and expand your bubble, you’ll improve your ability to find flow, enhance focus, and ultimately perform at your best in all aspects of life.

  • The Joy of Movement: Adam Richardson’s Journey from Near-Death to Mobility Guru
    2024/09/30
    "A healthy person has a hundred wishes, but a sick person has only one" Another wise one man once said, 'One day you will look like a soggy tea-bag, if you are lucky!'. That man was near-death survivor turned mobility and movement guru Adam Richardson, this week's ANWOB guest. In this episode, Adam Richardson reveals his transformative journey from Intensive Care to an enlightened view on what is important, leading him to become a social media sensation and movement and mobility guru. Adam shares his personal battle with meningitis, the life-altering lessons it taught him about mortality, and how it fuelled his commitment to movement. In this episode, you'll learn simple practical exercises that can prevent injury and keep you moving freely for life. Adam's journey from near-death to mobility mastery is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. So many people have body hang ups, but it’s the only body we’ll ever have, so it is bonkers not to treasure it for as long as possible, and not get fixated on how it may or may not look to other people. This conversation blends philosophy, fitness, and Adam’s signature cheeky charm. I hope you enjoy listening! Adam's book: How to Build a Body That Lasts: A heads up: there is some swearing in this episode.

  • Reflective Awareness: Embracing Our Shadow Through What We Judge in Others - Dr John Demartini
    2024/09/23
    This conversation starts with a truly eye-opening insight: our judgments of others often reveal traits in ourselves that we haven’t fully recognised and owned. Internationally renowned behaviour expert Dr John Demartini identified 4,628 different human behavioural traits, and recognised that we all possess both all of them - positive and negative. This is about what he calls reflective awareness – that we are simply being shown by others what we aren’t loving in ourselves, which keeps us from wholeness. We also talk about What emotional intelligence and authenticity really are. Why aligning our actions with our core values is key. Recognising the interconnectedness of all life. How acknowledging and embracing both sides of existence—like peace and conflict—helps us return to wholeness. Recognising hat success is deeply personal, defined by our own values, and that living in alignment with those values is what brings true fulfillment. How resisting what is creates all psychological suffering, and what to do instead 'The desire to seek that which is unobtainable, and the desire to avoid that which is unavoidable, is the source of human suffering'. - The Buddha My links: YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Website: simonmundie.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Work with me: "I have to say that in the days following our call I felt as though there had been a profound shift.The days that followed were some of the best days I have had in many years as there seemed to be so much more space between me any my thoughts." - Henry “Each session with Simon has been enjoyable and enlightening in equal measure.

    2024/09/13
    What attachment style are you - anxious, avoidant or secure? Our attachment style forms as a result of our relationships with our parents and primary caregivers. In this bitesize episode, we are focussing on how to enjoy the honeymoon phase over and over again - through vasopressin bonding. This is vital for developing true long-lasting intimacy, and is key to understand, particularly if you tend to have either an anxious or avoidant attachment style.

  • How to stop overthinking - tools, techniques, insights and powerful recognitions: Andrew Sewell
    2024/09/09
    Are you familiar with worrying about the future or dwelling on the past? Then this conversation is for you. It's all about ways to free yourself from being caught up in the head - and stop your mind from using you, and get back to being able to use your mind, which is after all a wonderful tool (but a terrible master!). We all love it when the mind quietens - when in flow or looking at a beautiful sunset for example - but struggle when it fires back up, and make a mistake by then trying to control or suppress thoughts. We discuss simple techniques and powerful tools that aren't about futile control and explore deep game-changing insights and recognitions.
