Sort Yourself Out

This week we're looking at what's going on in the world from a spiritual point of view, and I also want to share some of the ways that I have been managing within myself all of the weirdness.Because there's no denying, it's been weird these past couple of years! And managing how I feel about it and respond to it all has become almost a full time job!So join me as I discuss the shift we are going through, and some ways that we can ease our way through these turbulent times to create a better future for us all.RESOURCES:Inner Smile Guided MeditationJoin The Better Than Happy Membership

This week I'm talking to Brianna Wilkerson about why your health (and self-worth) is about so much more than your weight.Brianna Wilkerson is a Holistic Health and Life Coach, podcast host, wife and mother, matcha tea lover and at-home crossfitter. She helps women to  find peace with food, feel confident in their bodies again, and develop healthy habits and a lifestyle that's about more than just their weight.   I know that for many of us, our self-worth is very closely linked to what we feel about our weight, so I'm really looking forward to digging into this with Brianna, to see if we can free ourselves and hopefully have a mindset shift around this area. In this episode:Healthy habits for sustainable success.The health markers and lifestyle habits we should be paying attention to.Mindset tools to help strengthen our mindset.Self-care rituals to boost our health and self-worth.RESOURCES:Join The Better Than Happy MembershipCONNECT WITH BRIANNA WILKERSON:http://www.madewell345.com/Free Food Freedom Journal: http://www.madewell345.com/foodfreedomjournalFree Healthy Habits Resource Library: http://www.madewell345.com/resourcelibrary 

Welcome to this flashback series, featuring some of my favourite episodes from the archives discussing key ideas and teachings that take us to the heart of who we are, reveal what makes us tick, and lead us to greater freedom and well-being.Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the world, felt called to make the world a better place?Then check out this week's podcast, where we're discussing how one wee human can change the world.Many of us feel so powerless, especially today in the face of the world crisis we're all living through.But remember, even the small changes we make to improve our own lives have a beneficial knock-on effect on those around us. As I'm always saying, our own well-being radiates out and uplifts everyone we contact.But our real power lies in our collective power as a group. Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”Individually, we are more powerful than we know. And together.... WOW!So how can you make a difference in the world?You can start by tuning in to this week's episode!RESOURCES:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipInner Smile Guided MeditationLINKS:SYO 25 Seizing The Opportunity Of The Current World CrisisSYO 24 Who Are You And Why Are You Here Part 2

Hi! Welcome to this flashback series, featuring some of my favourite episodes from the archives discussing key ideas and teachings that take us to the heart of who we are, reveal what makes us tick, and lead us to greater freedom and well-being. Sit back, relax and enjoy!So tell me, have you got voices in your head? Maybe there's someone in there telling you you're not good enough, you'll never be able to do that, your butt looks huge in that, who do you think you are to be... blah blah blah!Sound familiar? We've all got this voice in our head, unless we've done a lot of work to silence it.Sometimes we're aware of what the inner critic is saying, because we hear it all the time. And sometimes, even more insidiously, we have programming going on that is unconscious. We may not be aware of a specific message, but this subconscious conditioning can erode our self-esteem and hinder us from going for the things we want, or succeeding, or even being happy.Either way, conscious or unconscious, we need to become aware of the self-talk that is going on, or it will sabotage us for the rest of our days!So today we're looking at how we can free ourselves of this inner critic and get some relief!In this episode:Where your inner critic came from.How hangups and blockages are created.Two practices that reveal the contents of your mind to you.How to replace negative self-talk with positive talk that serves us.RESOURCES:Janine's Quick Start Guide to Doable MeditationJoin The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipLINKS:Richard Bandler 

This week I'm talking to Tony Copeland-Parker about how to boost your brain health and mental health, and the role physical fitness plays in those.Tony was a professional pilot for thirty-seven years, but when in his early fifties he needed a heart-valve replacement, and his partner Catherine was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, they decided to sell their home, retire from their jobs, and become nomads, running marathons and half-marathons all over the world. Since then, he and his partner Catherine have traveled to eighty-two different countries and have run at least a half-marathon in thirty-five countries and on all seven continents!  Tony shares his inspiring story with us and shows us how through simple lifestyle changes and fulfilling experiences, we can learn to change our future through meaningful moments that spark joy.RESOURCES:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipRunningwithCat.com

Hi! Welcome to this flashback series, featuring some of my favourite episodes from the archives discussing key ideas and teachings that take us to the heart of who we are, reveal what makes us tick, and lead us to greater freedom and well-being. Sit back, relax and enjoy!I bet you know this scenario: you bump into someone, and make the mistake of asking “How are you?”, and by the time that person has finished with their sad story of negativity and victimhood, you feel as if your life force has been drained from you. Their low vibration has rubbed off on you, and if you're not careful, you'll carry it around with you, possibly even believing that it's yours!Negativity comes at us from all directions. It's floating round in the ether, just waiting to connect with someone of a similar vibration. And in recent months, with the coronavirus crisis, there's been an enormous amount of fear and anxiety swirling around. I've been feeling extra sensitive lately, so I wanted to share some ways that we can protect ourselves, and keep our energies clear and untainted by other people and outside influences.In this episode:Why we have a greater capacity for pain as we evolve.How to avoid attracting and contributing to psychic pollution.A technique to get you out of your thoughts and emotions.How to deal with negative atmospheres in rooms or larger spaces.A preventative practice to protect you from negative vibes, but allow the good vibes to flow.How to clear previous owners' energies from second hand clothes.Techniques to recalibrate your own energy system.The importance of sharing good energy with the world.RESOURCES:The Quantum Liberation Spa Guided MeditationJoin The Better Than Happy Zone Membership

Sit back, relax and enjoy!I've still got my pointy philosopher's hat on, as we are continuing our exploration of those questions that most of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives: who am I and why am I here?Last week in part one we were looking at this primarily from an individual perspective, discussing what it all means on the individual or the microcosmic level.This week, we're hitting the macrocosm! We'll be looking at the past evolution of not only humanity, but the planet and the whole dang solar system, as well as looking at our future. What are we here to do? What's the point?! Where do we go from here?I'll be sharing with you some excerpts from my collection of books on esoteric philosophy, psychology and science, as I attempt to digest the vast ideas I'm covering in this episode through my tiny little brain :) Ouch!  In this episode:The stages of evolution for the human kingdomThe difference between human and animal soulsHow the group spirits of animal species govern their astonishing behaviours and quirks of natureWhy it is so hard for human souls to operate in physical bodiesWhy all those cats in the YouTube videos are freaking out about cucumbersWhat Jesus Christ was actually trying to show usWho is the Spiritual Hierarchy?The only “sin”, according to the Ageless WisdomMankind's role as mediators on our planetWhat I can say about The One About Whom Naught May Be SaidHumanity's next stage of evolutionThe vast, sci-fi nature of humanity's future purpose, not just on earth, but in the solar system and beyondRESOURCES:Janine's Quick Start Guide to Doable MeditationJoin The Better Than Happy Zone Membership

Sit back, relax and enjoy! Have you ever wondered about the meaning of life, and asked those perennial questions: Who am I and why am I here?I was in this position many years ago, but I found it difficult to get answers that rang true and made sense, answers that were free of dogma and BS.Although I did a lot of searching, the answer fell in my lap one day when I wasn't even looking!  Well, I guess it wasn't quite that simple, but it pointed me in the direction of the deepest and most meaningful information I've ever come into contact with.In this week's podcast I'm looking at these questions from the viewpoint of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, an entire cosmology that will give you the answers to life, the universe, and everything!I hope you'll join me for Part 1 of this series on the deepest mysteries of life.In this episode:The continuum of spirit and matterThe processes of involution and evolutionWhy humanity is so materially focused these daysWhy we need to stop identifying so much with our emotional natureHow to become a clearer channel to receive impulses from the soulThe way to manifest your soul's purpose for this lifetimeHow to take responsibility for your own evolutionThe scientific nature of spiritual aspirationThe way to attract atoms of high vibration to your bodyRESOURCES:Janine's Quick Start Guide to Doable MeditationJoin The Better Than Happy Zone Membership

This week we're discussing 5 easy ways to create a flow state by consciously managing your brainwaves.So first of all, just what do we mean when we think of being in flow. What is a flow state? Well, flow is that state we experience when we are living in the moment, we're in the zone, totally focused on what we're doing, so immersed and absorbed by it that it feels like no time is passing at all.This is known as a peak experience state, and it can feel like life is magically unfolding and all's right with the world. Now we want more of that, right?So I want to talk about how we can take it from a peak state that is rarely experienced, to a more normal state of operation.Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

This week we're discussing the why and the how of reframing the way you talk about yourself and your experiences of life.I've got a few things I want you to consider about the way you talk about and to yourself, and to see if you can reframe it in a way that is more beneficial, and less emotionally charged.From this stance we can recognise that emotions are  simply a part of the human experience. We can allow ourselves to feel them as they arise, and run their course without judging or repressing them, as we so often do.We also need to be careful what we own when we talk to  or about ourselves. When we own the emotions or an illness or imbalance, we become identified with them, and that is not good for us.It puts us into victim mode. It brings up reactions of subconscious patterns of behaviour when we're trying to cope with things, and those coping mechanisms we learned as a child are rarely the way we want to resolve our issues as adults!I share some simple techniques to give us some neutrality, detachment and equanimity, so we can take advantage of the freedom of adulthood, and the ability to change the way we think about things and the responses we have to them.RESOURCES:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

I know you're going to love this episode, because today I'm joined by Teresa Romain, and she is going to help us to live a more abundant life.Teresa has been an abundance coach for nearly 25 years, and is a champion for women who experience scarcity around money.  Now this may sound familiar, that no matter what you do, or how much you make or how successful you seem to others – it's still not enough. So Teresa supports people to heal the divide between their relationship with money and God/Spirit/The Divine, whatever you call it, so they can fully and freely live the unique lives they were created to live – with all the resources they need. Now that sounds good, right?In this episode:The scarcity archetype that is the operating system of our world, and how to move beyond itWhy working harder and doing more is not the solution to having more abundanceWhy abundance is not a solo sportHow the kid's party game of musical chairs trains us into a scarcity mindset from an early ageLimiting beliefs about money that spiritual people holdThe importance of honouring natural, healthy limits to foster abundance for allThe need to go deep into our perceptions of ourselves and the creator of the world in order to relieve the scarcity mindsetThe beautiful design of abundance that supports all lifeGet in touch with Teresa Romain:https://www.TeresaRomain.comBonus gift page: https://www.TeresaRomain.com/podcastgiftFacebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/AccessAbundanceResources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone Membership

Now you may have noticed that there's a lot of conflict going on in the world these days. The world is so polarised. In fact, we've probably not had this level of conflict and polarisation on a global level since world war two.  Now essentially, this conflict, chaos and polarisation boils down to one single problem.So first of all, you're probably thinking, Janine, are you mad? The world is full of problems! How can you say there is just one? Well, what I'm talking about is the daddy, the source, of all the other problems that are so evident to us in the world today.So this week we're discussing what that one problem is, and also what the solution or antidote is to this overarching world problem, and how you can apply it in your life.RESOURCES:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipInner Smile Meditation

This week we're discussing how to come into a space of authority over your thoughts and your mind.This is pretty much a necessity in today's world, if you want to stay sane. There's so much chaos and fear circulating out there that we need to be careful and mindful of what's going on betwixt our ears.Now we absolutely do not need to buy into all of that noise and chaos, but if we want to be free of it, it's going to take a concerted effort on our part.If we look at the deeper significance and the opportunity here, we can say that this current world situation is offering us the perfect opportunity to practice achieving greater balance, equanimity and presence of mind.So join me as I discuss how to truly sort ourselves out, and to conserve and harness our energy in a constructive way, rather than the destructive way most of us are used to.Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

This week we're addressing a big question about life on the spiritual path. Should you be vegetarian? Is meat an appropriate food for one seeking enlightenment?This is a topic that we could argue about all day! Vegetarianism and veganism are often very emotional topics, and people have very strong views. So I imagine that I am going to be ruffling some feathers in this episode!There are lots of considerations here, but I want to look more deeply at some of the teachings from the Ageless Wisdom about vegetarianism, so you can decide for yourself where you stand and what's right for you.Because here's the thing, not all paths are right for all people. We are all at different stages in our spiritual unfoldment,  and at different stages of consciousness. So we can't make blanket statements that everyone should do this or that. And this is true for vegetarianism too.

This week we're discussing how to raise your awareness and how raising your awareness improves the quality of your life.So first of all, why do we want to raise our awareness and what does it really mean? Well, it's about learning what's going on in our thought life and our emotional life. We want to be aware of the way we are relating to others and ourselves, and the effect that we are having in the world.The Hermetic injunction, “Man, know thyself” is very important to helping us create a harmonious life, and a harmonious world. It is also vital that we know ourselves if we want to move forward on the spiritual path. We need to be able to look at our own lives and what's holding us back, the issues that need resolving, and in the bigger picture, we need to come into the understanding of who we really are.In raising our awareness, there are widespread implications and benefits, not just for our own well-being and quality of life, but that of the whole, the Allself.Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

This week we're discussing a single quality that you can cultivate to totally turn your life around: harmlessness.This is such a powerful quality because of the universal laws that we live by here on earth. These are the laws of karma, cause and effect, and the law of attraction. These laws are really all one. They apply to us as individualised sparks of divinity in relationship with one another here on the earth plane.As souls in incarnation we are all on the spiritual path of developing right relations. This means having a right relationship with ourselves, knowing who we are, divine beings, and living our lives as if we really know this.It also means having right relations with others, treating all other life with love and respect, and creating conditions that are for the good of the whole, and not just our poor little beleaguered egos!This is where harmlessness comes in. The practice of harmlessness is the ONE THING that is going to help you create right relations as well as satisfying causes and effects, and thus balance your karma and attract good things into your life.Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Quick Start Guide to Doable MeditationFrom The Heart of A Gentle Brother by BartholomewProblems of Humanity by Alice Bailey

This week we're discussing how we can anchor spirituality into our daily existence. That's what being spiritual is all about, right? Becoming more and more of our spiritual self, and less of the little self, the ego.Now in the Ageless Wisdom, this is known as spiritual livingness. And this is what we are meant to be doing as people who are consciously treading the spiritual path.This is about walking the talk and putting our money where our mouth is. It's about expressing our true values through our life activities.Now, very often, we, as curious spiritual seekers, absorb enormous quantities of information relating to spiritual growth and enlightenment, but we don't apply what we learn in our daily lives. This can become a negative factor in our lives, that can actually hold us back on the path.It's not about simply knowing stuff intellectually, but about bringing what we know into practical expression. This is how knowledge becomes wisdom. 

You've heard that bit of advice that's on everyone's lips about making change in your life, “fake it till you make it?”Well, this week we're discussing a better way than that. A higher way. This is a technique that I have learned through my studies of the Ageless Wisdom.This technique is called Acting As If. It's different to the fake it till you make it idea. “Fake it till you make it” is related to the lower self action in the world, the ego.Acting As If is related to the soul, as we seek to embody the qualities, purpose and power of the soul in daily life, and to eventually bring that into manifestation on the physical plane.So we need to get away from the ego level of creation, and begin to trust that it is our divine right as human beings to learn to wield this powerful creative energy. Divine creative energy.And when we are in touch with that kind of energy we will bring through higher manifestations that are in alignment with our soul's purpose for this incarnation. And that's what we're here to do!Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

We all have this need to lead meaningful lives and bringing more meaning into life is one of the ways that we uplift ourselves and others.Today we’re pulling aside the veil of ordinary existence to look behind the scenes and gain a greater understanding of what’s going on at a deeper level, or a higher level. This is where the meaningful stuff resides, deep and high! One way we can live more meaningfully is to understand energies and forces. This understanding can have a huge impact on improving your life, as you realise the ways that energies are playing out in your life.We look at your motivations and what is driving you into activity. Is it the forces of your lower self? Or the energies from your soul?We look at how an understanding of cause and effect will set you on the path to your higher purpose, greater love and joy, as you:Free yourself from the ass-end of effects that feed your lower nature and keep you stuck in dysfunction.Become “at cause”, to produce satisfying, fulfilling, uplifting and edifying life experience by operating from the energies that emanate from the soul.Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine’s Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

Have you ever wondered if there were some way to speed up your personal growth, to get past those blockages and hangups that hold you back, or to be free of those tendencies to sabotage yourself when you’re getting close to success or happiness?Well join me this week for a discussion of how to get more bang for your buck when it comes to self-help and personal growth.We’re looking at how to make your unconscious patterns conscious, free yourself from your hindrances and then consciously choose and install at a deep level the beliefs that will uplift your well-being and get you where you want to go.We’re taking transformation from the inside out! And that is the kind of transformation that works!Resources:Join The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine’s Quick Start Guide to Doable Meditation

This week we’re looking at the aspect of timing in your readiness, or not, to sort yourself out.Many people feel like they want to make a change. They KNOW they need to make a change. They try again and again, but they just can’t seem to make it stick.Maybe you’ve noticed this in your life? Or you feel like you know what you need to do, you know the steps to take, but you just cannot make yourself do it.We usually have to be really motivated to make a change in our lives, to break out of our habitual patterns of behaviour, of thinking, of being. These things can be hard work, and if we are not sufficiently motivated, or if the stakes are not high enough, we may find ourselves backsliding, reverting to the old unwanted ways, or making false start after false start.Sometimes we need to hit rock bottom or have a serious scare or get totally fed up before we’ll make the change we KNOW we need to make, and succeed at making it permanent. But here is the major point about being ready to sort ourselves out: We have to reach that point where it’s less painful to make the change, than to carry on as we are. And as in my case I discuss today, sometimes our own idea for the change we need to make is too narrow and limiting, and our soul has bigger ideas for us! There are lots of unknowable energies at work in the world that lead us to make a change when the timing is right, and when we will most benefit from it.RESOURCESJoin The Better Than Happy Membership

This week we’re looking at how you can better manage your mind.Learning how to manage my mind was a massive contributor to improving my well-being. Big-time!So many of us feel powerless over what’s going on in our minds. But it’s really important that we learn to master our minds, rather than our minds mastering us! This will involve raising our awareness and achieving a level of mindfulness to become aware of what’s going on betwixt our ears. Without that awareness, we’re at the mercy of our conditioning, all those ideas about ourselves and about life that we absorbed as children and that have become a part of the operating system that is the subconscious mind. You may have heard that phrase “I’ll believe it when I see it”, but that’s not how things work. It’s actually the other way around. We see the world according to our beliefs. Thoughts are creative energy that attract experiences to us. And the universe always provides us with people and circumstances that match our beliefs. For good or ill, it reflects back to us what we believe. So join me this week to discuss how to manage your mind and uplift your well-being, and influence what you attract into your life.Join the Better Than Happy Zone Membership

This week we’re discussing my top 3 ways to be better than happy.My very first podcast episode, about a year and half ago, was entitled How To Be Better Than Happy. It was a topic that really struck a chord with people, so much so that I decided to name my membership after this idea of being better than happy. This week I’m revisiting that topic. But a year and a half on, my ideas on how to be better than happy have developed even more, so my top 3 ways have shifted a bit from those in that first episode.What does being better than happy really mean? It means having a deep inner sense of well-being. It means feeling good in your own skin, loving yourself as you are and having a good sense of your own self-worth. It’s about feeling inner peace in your life, even though all may not be going as you’d like.So join me as we discuss the main ideas about being better than happy. Ideas that, when we embrace them, set us onto a stable foundation of personal integrity, fulfillment and joy, through which happiness will ebb and flow, but through which we can remain serene in our sense of inner peace.

Here we are in April, many months on from our new year’s resolutions. Hopefully you’re hanging in there, really moving forward with your goals and plans.But many of us will be feeling discouraged. We made the resolutions, and we may even have stuck with them for a while, but then we fell off the wagon and reverted to our old ways, feeling discouraged, disheartened and even calling ourselves a failure.But you don’t have to call this a failure, or let it define the rest of your year or your beliefs about yourself.This usually means that your inner software is out of date. So although you may consciously desire to change, you have unconscious programs running the show, that conflict with your new ideas.But at every moment you have the power to begin again, to make a fresh start.Who you are today, is creating who you will be in the future. Your thoughts, and your focus of attention, and the quality of that attention, are determining your future circumstances. Join me for this week’s Sort Yourself Out Podcast,  as we discuss how to release the past, and embrace your future.Join The Fast Track To Joy 5 Day Challenge

Now, we can all agree, even us positive thinkers, that we’re living in a time of great turbulence. There is a lot going on in the world! For over a year now, the world has been pretty much turned on its head. Life as we knew it, all those freedoms we took for granted, have vanished.This change, and the daily bombardment of crappy news, is hard for the human to bear! Right?!Within all of this drama, and trauma, it’s really important that we remain positive and look after ourselves, so that we do not sink under the onslaught of negativity.The way that we can best ride through the turbulence and come out the other side without going nuts, is to keep our vibrations as high as possible.So, how do we do that? How do we rise above all the crap we see going on in the world, and keep our vibration high?Well that’s the topic of this week’s Sort Yourself Out Podcast.RESOURCES:Join The Fast Track To Joy 5 Day ChallengeGet on the waitlist for The Better Than Happy MembershipFast Track To Joy Challenge Fast Track To Joy Challenge

Woohoo! Spring is here, and this week we’re discussing how you can spring clean your being on all levels.Spring is an excellent time of year to not just give the house a once over, but also yourself! And if you’re in the southern hemisphere, good news, autumn is the other traditional time to have a little cleanse, so you’re not left out!So what does a spring clean on all levels mean? Well, we’re talking about how to clean out the crap on not just the physical level, but also on emotional and mental levels.This is really important, as often it's the bad emotional and mental habits that create problems on the physical level, that is, in our physical bodies, or even more generally on the physical plane, in terms of the circumstances and events we bring about due to poor, sloppy or misguided mental and emotional ways of being.So this week I’m sharing a few simple things you can do to freshen yourself up and get your energies stirring as we head into spring.RESOURCES:Join The Fast Track To Joy 5 Day ChallengeGet on the waitlist for The Better Than Happy MembershipSYO10 How To Tune Up Your Energy SystemSYO22 My No.1 Secret To Boost Your HappinessSYO37 Easy Mindfulness Techniques To Start TodaySYO64 The Life-Changing Benefits of Daily MeditationFast Track To Joy Challenge Fast Track To Joy Challenge

Would you like a little more joy in your life? I think there can only be one answer to that question! We can all use more joy, right? It’s so easy to look around us at the world, and say, OMG, the world’s gone mad! And then plunge into negativity, and hopelessness and depression. But what would it be like if you could acknowledge, that yes, there’s some undesirable, sub-optimal stuff going on in the world, but not dwell on it, not brood about it?And not only that, but actually rise above it, and holy cow, actually feel good! Well good news, it’s possible!Regardless of what’s going on outside of you, you have the power within you to uplift your consciousness to a place of joy.Join me this week as we discuss how.RESOURCES:Join The Fast Track To Joy 5 Day ChallengeGet on the waitlist for The Better Than Happy MembershipFast Track To Joy Challenge Fast Track To Joy Challenge

There are 2 practices that I credit with totally uplifting my life, when I was a mess after I quit drinking. The first is meditation. And the second was beginning a mindfulness practice. These two techniques totally turned my life around.This week on The Sort Yourself Out Podcast we’re focusing on mindfulness, and the joy that it can bring to your life. Because trust me, mindfulness is a practice that can uplift your life on all levels, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It is a top-down technique extraordinaire, and by top-down I mean that you use the higher part of yourself to manage the lower.  As Albert Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."When you practice mindfulness you are raising your awareness, so not only are you creating the conditions to resolve those problems, but you are creating a knock-on effect that ripples out to uplift and illuminate all areas of your life.Mindfulness also helps in all 3 phases of transformation, and that is why it is so powerful, and one of my top techniques for sorting yourself out.RESOURCES:Janine’s Quick Start Guide to Doable MeditationGet on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipSYO37 Easy Mindfulness Techniques To Start TodayFast Track To Joy Challenge Fast Track To Joy Challenge

I’m going a little off-piste with my subject matter today, but I think it’s something you’ll still find interesting. I’m going to share a few of my favourite techniques for keeping fit.And of course, they’re my favourite because they pack a big bang for my buck! That’s important to me. I want to be putting my efforts into things that actually work. I also want them to be enjoyable. Now for many of us, we made our new year’s resolutions to get fit back in January, and by now at the beginning of March, despite all those good intentions, we’ve often lost enthusiasm and fallen off the wagon, with a big, disheartening thud!But fret ye not my friend, as help is at hand!This week we’re discussing 3 powerful techniques to get you on the fast track to fitness.The first is a really effective method of exercise. The 2nd is a really doable diet, (oh how I hate the d-word, so let’s call it a way of eating!) and the 3rd is a visualisation technique to help you get fit and toned.RESOURCES:Get on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Visualisation Essentials GuideLINKS:Kettlercise Unstoppable ProgramThe Fast 800

This week we’re discussing the art of self-tweaking. What the hell is that, you say? Well, I don’t know if self-tweaking is a thing, or if I made that name up. But I like it because it really reflects the nature of personal growth and how we effect change in our lives. Also, it amuses me a bit too! Self-tweaking! Hmmmm.So often we want to make change in our lives, and we want it done yesterday! But this is just not realistic, and we put too much pressure on ourselves when we expect nigh-on miraculous change to occur.We also bring up all sorts of resistance when we have such high expectations. And then we crack, we crash and burn, and then, we usually beat ourselves up about it, and hate ourselves, and we’re worse off than we started out! For the most part, this is just not the way change occurs in our lives. Lasting change is made incrementally. That’s why I’ve called it self-tweaking. It is a marathon, not a sprint. Join me as we discuss how to move through incremental growth with ease, and the main things to consider for effective and balanced self-tweaking.Resources:The Quantum Liberation Spa Guided MeditationGet on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone Membership

This week we’re discussing the amazing, life-changing benefits of my favourite practice to uplift your well-being, meditation.Meditation and mindfulness teacher David Michie said that “If meditation were available in capsule form, it would be the biggest selling drug of all time.”That’s quite a statement! But one I agree with wholeheartedly. I count meditation as the single best thing I’ve ever done for my well-being. Now you may have heard that there are numerous benefits to meditation, and maybe even thought, DANG!, I should be doing that. But time passes, and you just don’t get around to it. Or maybe you try it for a little bit, but it’s off and on, really sporadic, and you don’t really get into it enough to feel the benefits.Well, you’re not alone! Most of us faff around for a while, before we get into it. I faffed around for a couple years, meditating every now and then, trying this and that. The important thing to know about meditation is that you don’t need to make a big meal out of it. You can start really simply and make things easier on yourself. In fact, it’s best to take it easy and keep it simple when you are beginning.Join me to learn about the amazing proven benefits of meditation.

Valentine’s Day is just a couple of days away. Rather than focusing on romantic love, I want to discuss how you can love YOURSELF this Valentine’s Day.Even if you’re listening long after Valentine’s Day, this issue is still incredibly relevant. Feeling like we’re not good enough is a widespread human malaise these days. Unless you’ve done work on yourself to improve your self-esteem, or you grew up with enlightened masters as your carers (!), chances are you could benefit from learning to love yourself, or as I suggested last week, give yourself a little top-up of self-love, to keep your energies and well-being high.This week I share several easy techniques you can start using today, to uplift your well-being, and share the love!Also this week:How self-love enables you to truly love others.Why others love being around people who love themselves.How to release neediness and validate yourself.The importance of self-compassion.Why you DESERVE love.The reason for love’s healing powers.Resources:Get on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipInner Smile Meditation

We’re kicking off February with a 2 part series on cultivating self-love!Whether you’re listening to this near Valentine’s Day or not, it doesn’t matter. This is a topic that is important all year round! Self-love, self-esteem, self-worth... they’re all pretty much the same thing.This is an area so many people struggle with. Feeling like we’re not good enough is a general human malaise these days, and it has all sorts of knock-on implications for our mental, emotional, and even physical health and well-being.This week in part one, we’re going to discuss the importance of cultivating a healthy sense of self-esteem, and in part two next week, I’m going to share some easy ways that you can begin to cultivate self-love and improve your life no end!Resources:Get on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipInner Smile MeditationLinks mentioned in this episode:The Easy Way To Control Alcohol by Allen CarrYou Can Heal Your Life by Louise HayFrequency: The Power of Personal Vibration by Penney PeirceShirlie and Martin Kemp: It's a Love Story

In this week’s episode, I want to float a question: How you are using your brain? Are you using it to support where you want to go, who you want to be, how you want to live?Or are you living on automatic, on all the old programs that authority figures installed in you when you were young, and that you really had no say about then? Because we don’t when we’re little kids. We just absorb everything we’re told.Later in life, as adults, we have the opportunity to filter through all those programs and clear ourselves of what’s unhelpful or unhealthy or not working for us now, and actually choose the beliefs and ideas that we want to guide our lives by now.Unfortunately, many of us have become experts at dysfunctional behaviours. For example, maybe you’re very skillful in worrying, or judging others, or having low self-esteem, or feeling guilty, or blaming others, or finding things that stop you from feeling happy. There are all sorts of ways of being and looking at the world that we have learned, that do not serve us. But they are so deeply ingrained in us, that we don’t even realise that we do it, or most importantly, that we have a choice to be otherwise.Join me for a discussion of a topic that is integral to sorting yourself out - how you can train your brain, so that you can free yourself of your hangups, and also program new and healthy patterns to create the life you want.Resources:Get on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipJanine's Visualisation Essentials GuideLinks mentioned in this episode:SYO4 How to Liberate Yourself From Your Self-Sabotaging Beliefs, Thoughts and HabitsSYO31 How To Get Unstuck And Break Through To Success And Well-Being SYO45 How To Visualise Successfully

Are you ready for something a little different? Because this week we’re looking at things you can do to benefit from the cosmic energies that are pouring into the earth plane right now.Last month, that’s December 2020, there was a cosmic event that took place called the Great Saturn-Jupiter Conjunction, on the full moon of Cancer on the 29th. So this event, which has not happened for 800 years, is allowing new energies to stream into the earth.These energies will cause an upgrade to human consciousness, that will upgrade our DNA, creating a great shift in our consciousness that will move us forward greatly in our evolution.I’ll be looking at their significance for human life and suggesting ways and techniques to smooth your way through the turbulent times ahead, as we ride through this transitional phase toward a new era of inclusiveness and brotherhood.

This week I’m sharing with you my No. 1 book recommendation of the year. I want to share this one special book with you, as it’s sooooo good! What I love about this book, is that it’s the type of book that accompanies you throughout the year. It adds a really nice focus to your year, and helps to keep you on track with an ongoing program of upliftment and growth.It’s not just a book for reading. It’s a book for DOING. And as you know, I love a good practice! There’s no point reading the book and then not practicing it what it teaches. Along these lines, here’s a taster from the author, “Whenever we want to learn something new or want change to occur, we must consciously and consistently engage in a practice. Just as we learnt to walk, write and speak through practice, we can change ourselves at any time through its transformative power. Practice develops and transforms us, encourages discipline, and enables us to focus, facilitating change and increased awareness.” I started reading it a few months ago, and I was blown away by its depth and the new ways it guides me to experience and reflect upon my life. So if you’re ready for an inspiring and profound read, and a month by month guide to a multidimensional practice that benefits and advances your personal evolution and helps you become happier, healthier, and more effective across all areas of human experience, then you don’t want to miss this episode.I also cover the basics for the month of January, so you can get started right away, without buying the book.Resources:Get on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipInner Smile MeditationLinks mentioned in this episode:Living in Gratitude: Mastering the Art of Giving Thanks Every Day, A Month-by-Month Guide

Happy new year! I hope you’re feeling good after the end of year festivities, and are raring to go into 2021.And after the whopper of a year we had in 2020, I want to share with you a technique I’m using this year, to set the tone for my year ahead, so that I can fill it with purpose, intention and positivity.I began this practice last year, dubbed the year from hell, as an antidote to all the negativity and uncertainty that was dragging me down.I felt myself sinking, getting submerged in the mess, and had to find a way to lift myself up and get back to my regular cheerful, positive self.This easy practice led to a shift of focus that had a massive impact on my life and my mindset. It was so good, I’ve decided to carry on with it this year! I’d love for you to join me, and set the tone for a magnificent year with this life-enhancing technique.Resources:Get on the wait list for The Better Than Happy Zone MembershipLife Conspires To Make Me Successful Affirmations

This week we’re getting practical and doing some energy work to clean up the toxic energy of the year from hell! I’m going to guide you through a simple energy cleansing process to shrug off what has probably been the weirdest, most messed up year most of us have lived through.I don’t know about you, but this year has felt so intense and well, bizarre! I’ve been up and down like a rollercoaster, my energy system getting ruffled up again and again, and not in a good way.So this week, as we close out 2020, I’m keeping it short and sweet, and sharing an energy cleansing practice so we can wipe out every negative molecule that’s lodged itself in our energy bodies as a result of the abundance of toxic energy we’ve been dealing with. So if you’d like to join in, make yourself comfortable somewhere where you won’t be disturbed for a few minutes, and we'll get started.RESOURCES:Get on the wait list for The Inner Circle MembershipThe Quantum Liberation Spa Guided Meditation
