In this episode we take a look back at the highlights of this season with a reminder of the key actions from each season.

Episode 1, Life’s Purpose.

1. Know your why feeling- feel that warmth and contentment- when you make a decision, ask yourself, is this going to give you my why feeling?

2. Visualise having already achieved what you want to achieve.

3. Ask yourself what happens if you don’t do what you have set up to do.

Episode 2, Identity.

1. FHB Practice – Feet on Floor, Hand on Heart, Body on Breath.

2. Do a gratitude practice - write down 3 things that made you feel grateful.

3. Take care of your limiting I Am statements- move a negative statement into the past tense or release it into a potential.

Episode 3, Food.

1. Move to a plant based diet.

2. Spend time with friends and family – experience the joy of living and connecting and not the fear of dying.

3.  Pay attention to how you feel with whatever changes you make- whatever you do has a corresponding benefit, if is pleasureable and meaningful you’ll do more of it.

Episode 4, Exercise.

1. Focus on your core values and lend these values to your fitness routines.

2. Find the playful elements – connect fun to your goals to soften your goals.

3. Make the time- prioritise time for exercise and repair because it’s important to you.

Episode 5, Sleep.

1. Don’t be fooled by the feeling of sleepiness- even if you don’t feel sleepy, you still need sleep.

2. Eat fruit high in antioxidants.

3. Eat yoghurt with friendly bacteria.

Episode 6, Time Out.

1. Find a way to connect with yourself everyday – try journaling or writing a letter to connect with your core inner self.

2. Ask yourself “what else is possible?” – create a headspace of curiosity and possibility and openness rather than judgement and closed thinking.

3. Find a way to be useful to another person.

Episode 7, Your Connections.

1. Practice good connection when interacting and focus on creating trust and security instead of just focusing on issues and concepts and ideas.

2. Use touch and proximity in interactions when you can- closing the distance changes the meaning of a conversation.

3. Remove distractions when communicating- be present in the moment, pay attention.

Episode 8, Learning Habits.

1. Break your challenges into small chunks.

2. Reward yourself for your actions.

1. Create a short, middle and long-term goal.

2. Build mental fitness gradually.

3. Work with someone who can help you navigate your internal landscape.

Episode 10, First Motivation and Mindset.

1. Recognise imposter syndrome in yourself, be self-aware.

2. Be willing to entertain other perspectives.
