The High Life
Understanding our differences.
In this week's episode we talk about how important it is to understand the differences we have with others. So many confrontations and problems arise when we find someone acting in a way we wouldn't ourselves. It is very easy to misinterpret this as feeling as though they're doing something wrong just because they're not doing it our way. Learning that others being different doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong will help you navigate a lot of your relationships in a much healthier way. The...

The High Life
Learning how to respond rather than react.
In this week's episode we talk about learning how to respond rather than react to a situation. Often we can find ourselves reacting in the moment to a situation and when we do this we can often come to regret the way we have acted based on emotions. Although it is not always possible it will help you so much if you learn how to take the time to process a situation and consider what the best way is to respond. Many arguments escalate and don't lead to a resolution as easily and calmly as they ...

The High Life
Stop being a victim to your life.
In today's episode we talk about not being a passive receiver of all the negative things that happen in our lives. People can mistreat us and we can get hurt but unfortunately we are the only person that can resolve these issues for ourselves. Sometimes we may find ourselves in a rut, feeling unmotivated or miserable but yet make no attempt to feel better. Sometimes we have to realise when enough is enough, don't be a victim to your emotions or to the bad things that happen. Life can be cruel...

Learning how to validate yourself.
This week's episode is about learning how to truly value your own opinion of yourself and the decisions you make. We tend to do so much for others or avoid doing things in fear others wont approve. If we spend our lives avoiding scary decisions and taking risks in fear of what other's will say, it is only us inevitably that will suffer. You need to remind yourself who you are making these decisions for and who has to live with the consequences of your actions. And a scary truth we all have to...

Finding motivation and being productive.
In today's episode we talk about motivation and being productive. Motivation tends to fluctuate a lot and so it is important not to rely your productivity solely on how motivated you are. The reality is sometimes you don't have the motivation to do something but you still have to get up and do it. Focus on discipline, better managing your time and becoming okay with the fact that nothing ever goes exactly to plan. If something falls off course or doesn't go exactly to plan don't use that as a...

Stop performing for love.
Today's episode marks one year of The High Life Podcast!

Stop putting people on a pedestal.
In today's episode we talk about why it is unhealthy to put celebrities, the people we date and friends on a pedestal. We create an idealised version of this person in our head and set unrealistic expectations for them to meet. Doing this often tends to be due to our own insecurities, we see in someone what we don't see in ourselves or we feel as though is 'too good' for us. Putting some on a pedestal is not only unhealthy for you but it is also incredibly unhealthy and unfair on the individu...

Conditional happiness.
In today's episode we talk about conditional happiness. Something a lot of us tend to do is give ourselves requirements for when we can be and will feel happiness. We spend so much of our lives looking forward to the time when we have the job, the house, the kids and when we have it 'all figured out' but something we have to come to terms with is there will never be a time where we have it 'all figured out'. Problems will continue to present themselves and our lives will continue to cha...

Practising detachment.
In this week's episode we talk about practising detachment. Being overly attached to a certain person, thing or even a time in your life can make you feel as though they are your only source of happiness. You should never place one person or one thing at the centre of your being or over depend on them. A fact of life is that things will always change, your circumstances, the relationships you have in your life and even you. Sometimes thing's feel so perfect that we don't want to let go of the...

Taking accountability.
In today's episode we talk about taking accountability, which at times, can be really difficult. It can be hard to admit when we're in the wrong or that we've hurt someone close to us. Our pride often ruins a lot of things and wont allow us to take the time to really listen to someone and admit that we're wrong. Think about what's more important, your pride or your relationships, your need to be right or your own growth. Listen to this episode if you want to learn how to control your reaction...

Finding peace.
In today's episode we talk about finding peace. A lot of the time, the reason why we feel upset or anxious is because we aren't accepting a situation we've found ourselves in. A relationship or a person turns out not to meet our expectation and we struggle to accept the truth. We find ourselves upset because something hasn't turned out the way we wanted it to and refuse to accept what's happened so we don't have to deal with it. This is often the reason we find ourselves in relationships that...

Setting boundaries and raising your standards.
In today's episode we talk about the importance of setting boundaries and raising your standards. A lot of the time we can be so worried about being a 'nice' person that we can struggle to stick up for ourselves and require more from people. There is nothing noble about being kind to everyone but yourself. If you constantly find yourself in relationships where you feel as though you're always giving more than you're getting back, then you need to have a think about how much you think you dese...

Improving your confidence.
In this week's episode we talk about how we can improve our confidence. So many of us miss out on so much of our life because we spend so much time beating ourselves up for the way that we look. Life is far too short to miss out on so much good because we feel like we're not up to the 'beauty standard'. If there are things holding you back from enjoying your life, make the change and make the effort to improve the way you feel towards yourself and your confidence. Nothing is more beauti...

Focusing on the bigger picture.
In today's episode we talk about not allowing ourselves to become so consumed by our emotions. Sometimes we allow one slight inconvenience or a small disturbance ruin our whole day. Allow yourself to feel the initial emotion and then take the time to decide how much of your energy this situation is really worth. We often find ourselves getting so stuck in the right now and how far away from our goals we are, that we tend to forgot about all the goals we have already achieved. It is so i...

Stop being a hater.
In today's episode we talk about our tendency at times to complain, bitch and be negative. It is completely normal to not always be positive and to not like everyone but when it is more common for you to have something negative to say as opposed to something good, you might be a 'hater.' We can all be a 'hater' sometimes, about certain people and certain things but we have to take accountability and ask ourselves why it is we hate this thing or person so much. What is it about this person tha...

Trusting the timing.
In today's episode we talk about the fact that so much of our lives is out of our control, including the timing of when certain things happen. Once we finally let go of all these things we're trying so hard to control we will find ourselves much more at peace. The most important thing to do is become confident in the fact that what you want to happen in your life and all the things that you want to achieve will happen and that it is just a matter of when. Don't let the fact that something has...

You can never go back.
In today's episode we discuss just how special the first time you do anything is. When you try something for the first time it will always top anything else because you go into it blindly, without any expectations. Growing up we find ourselves constantly doing something for the first time but as we grow older we grow comfortable and find ourselves continuously doing the same things that we've grown to love. This is your sign to try that new thing you've been meaning to and meet some new peopl...
