Discover how embracing your shadow and understanding the judgments we place on others can help reduce psychological suffering. What we resist in others often reflects what we need to heal within ourselves. šŸ‘„

Todayā€™s bitesize ANWOB episode is a sneak peek from one of my all-time favourite conversations, with the full episode dropping on Monday. I highly recommend tuning inā€”itā€™s packed with powerful insights and wisdom that will leave you feeling instantly lighter.

We all want to experience flow, when we feel and perform our best.

When everything feels effortless.

When the greater intelligence of the unconscious mind takes over, and we are free of the focus on ā€˜meā€™, ā€˜myā€™ and ā€˜mineā€™ - the continual ā€˜self-referential narrativeā€™ in our heads - when we talk to ourselves about ourselves all day long - that causes suffering on the inside and conflict on the outside.

ā€˜What do they think of ME?ā€™
ā€˜My tribe is better than their tribeā€™
ā€˜That job should have been mineā€™

But you canā€™t just decide, now Iā€™m going to get into flow. Because ā€˜the deciderā€™ is the one blocking flow in the first place.

But you can create the conditions in which it may appear. How?

Firstly, recognise that flow follows focus.

If we jump from one task to the next and back again, while replying to e-mails and whatsapps and checking how many likes our latest post has, it isnā€™t going to happen.

And thatā€™s why I love what my friend Robin Caine MBE - Fighter Pilot and Head of UK Military Flying - had to say about the subject.

When heā€™s flying a fighter jet - the amount of information coming in is mind-boggling. So he needs to first create a ā€˜bubbleā€™ that allows him to make sure that he is not going to be pulled from pillar to post and enter the cockpit distracted āœˆ

Rob is a fantastic bloke, a long time supporter of the podcast - and has the most fascinating job of anyone I know (at least in my opinion). And he is threatening to take me up in a fighter jet šŸ˜±

So worth listening to what he has to say about the bubble, the unconscious, intuition and much more besides. And as he says at the end - if you focus on three things during the conversation, and review them afterwards, two WILL stick.

ā€œBeing Olympic champion doesnā€™t change me as a person: Iā€™m still Eve!ā€

Despite winning gold in 2022, is one of the most down to earth, humble and ā€˜normalā€™ people Iā€™ve ever had the joy to spend time with. Sheā€™s also a talented golfer, athlete and bagpiper extraordinaire - but it hasnā€™t gone to her head - not always the case amongst elite athletes! Sheā€™s still ā€˜just Eveā€™ - funny, warm, kind and one of the friendliest athletes Iā€™ve spent time with. A role-model for sure.

Thrilled to have been asked to speak on behalf of - a wonderful organisation making such an impact in the world. Iā€™ll be sharing the recognition and understanding that has had such a profound impact on my life - drawing on examples from the interviews I have been fortunate enough to host over the last six plus years.

In essence itā€™s about how to recognise that we are all ā€˜enoughā€™, and then expressing that in our life. Too many of us seek to become ā€˜enoughā€™ through success, approval, attainment and accumulation. That is destined to fail, so itā€™s all about doing a 180.

Previous speakers include Dalai Lama, Ruby Wax, Mo Gawdat, Laurie Santos, Andy Puddicombe, Gretchen Rubin, BJ Fogg, Kristin Neff, Rick Hanson, Angela Duckworth, Marty Seligman, Dan Goleman, Lori Gottlieb, Rangan Chatterjee, Matthieu Ricard, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Jay Shetty, Sian Williams, Oliver Burkeman and Arianna Huffington. Esteemed company indeed.

Delighted with the response to my book launch.

As someone messaged me only this morning, ā€œStarted reading your book on the tube. F**k me itā€™s goodā€

Not my words! But might be just the nudge you need to dive in ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ’«

ā€œDo you know what my secret is? I donā€™t mind what happens!ā€ - Jiddu Krishnamurti

Acceptance is the key to a life well lived. When we resist how things are, we suffer. Wisdom lies in accepting and responding, not resisting and reacting.

However, there is some confusion as to ā€˜how you doā€™ acceptance (particularly self-acceptance). The paradox is it is not something you do with your mind, itā€™s something you STOP doing. This took me a long time to learn, and we discuss this crucial distinction in this episode.

When you are triggered and feel insecure or angry, rather than resisting it and demanding the world doesnā€™t brush up against your inner wounds, realise itā€™s an opportunity to recognise where you are currently not free internally. Being triggered becomes a welcome opportunity for acceptance and growth.

This is such an important subject and one we discuss in todayā€™s 3rd episode of ā€˜Success Evangelism - and a new way of beingā€™ on The Life Lessons Podcast. Self-acceptance and recognising we are enough NOW is key to this new way of being, rather than having to achieve success to become enough some time in the future.

Join me, my co-host (and wife) Alex, Jonny Wilkinson, Lucy Gossage and no -dual philosopher Rupert Spira for this one šŸ˜ŠšŸ’«

Acceptance isnā€™t something you do with your mind, itā€™s something you stop doing. Specifically - resisting. Resistance is something thoughts (the ā€˜thinking mindā€™) do (eg. ā€˜I donā€™t like Xā€™).

Awareness (the ā€˜aware mindā€™ in my book) is inherently accepting. It has no capacity to resist anything, hence why people refer to it as emptiness. Thatā€™s where true acceptance is.

Big thanks to for recognising The Life Lessons Podcast. We do try and spread a little positivity, without veering into ā€˜success evangelismā€™. Why? Because fundamentally just being ourselves is enough šŸ˜ŠšŸ’«

ā€˜Simon skillfully weaves the implications of the recognition of our true nature with compelling sporting anecdotes. The intention behind this book is beautiful, and I highly recommend it.' Rupert Spira

It meant a lot to get this lovely book endorsement from Rupert Spira. His work has impacted me a lot. Itā€™s about recognising who we are at a fundamental level. The recognition can truly be life changing.

Speaking of which, on The Life Lessons Podcast today is Piers Thurston, who is incredibly skilful at leading people through self enquiry, a process to reveal your fundamental nature prior to psychology. Piers leads an exploration during our conversation, so check it out.

"Business leaders, sports coaches, and indeed anyone with pretentions to 'improving themselves' ought to read it."

I'm so grateful to everyone who was kind enough to endorse Champion Thinking, including University Challenge host, R4 Today presenter and all round top bloke

Why is this book of use to businesses? Because it links three key themes:

1) Burnout (62% of employees felt burnt out in 2023)
2) Psychological Flexibility (the 'superpower of wellbeing, and antidote to 'imposter syndrome')
3) Flow (when we feel and perform at our best)

Illustrated through stories of world's elite sporting performers, I show how to avoid 1), develop 2) and get into, and harness, 3). I have spoken about these themes for the Government's Climate Change negotiation team, the NHS and many more besides, helping them avoid burnout and get into flow, so get in touch if that sounds like something your organisation would benefit from.

I'm also thrilled at the response as the promotional campaign ramps up ahead of launch next Thursday January 18. Hitting number 3 in Amazon's movers and shakers globally.

I'm going to be announcing a very special prize available to people who purchase Champion Thinking, involving my spiritual home of Wimbledon. Details to follow in an upcoming newsletter - sign up at simonmundie.com for more details.
