This episode's title holds true, whether you're a normal crazy person or someone who has taken responsibility for your own state of mind.

What's going on within creates what you achieve and experience - it has nothing to do with anyone else but you.

If you're a normal crazy person, your everyday life is the result of a mass hallucination, a mass hypnosis driven by programmed, patterned, repetitive thought, which leads to a programmed, patterned, repetitive life - no wonder, when using our minds this way, we feel stuck, fearful of change and stressed (and much more besides).

Normal, shared, hallucinogenic thought creates an assumed reality that enough people share to provide us with the "comfort" that it must be OK. It's not.

Being the creator of your own life, as you are, you must ask yourself this key question:

"What kind of life do I really want to create for myself?"

This is actually a simpler question to answer than you might think. And this is one of the key questions that we address in this episode. I hope this discussion will enable you settle on the answer that you know (normal people don't know that they know!) to be the best answer for you and yours.

But, then, this episode goes on to explain how to create the life that's best for you and what results you can expect.

Worth 35mins of your time!

I really don't like the title of this week's episode because we're talking about so much more...

First of all, we bust a few productivity-boosting myths: like you should do the (apparently) important things first or you should do the task you'd prefer not to have to do at all before you do anything else; like you should have a "To Do List" or have a plan or, God help us, an Action Plan; like multi-tasking, otherwise known to cognitive psychology as trying to half do a load of things badly simultaneously. Ah... Myths!

More importantly, this episode provides you with a step-by-step Blueprint that will boost an awful lot more than your productivity.

Because, essentially, we're talking about focus and flow in this episode. And we're talking about the importance of focus and flow in everything - focus is not just a work thing, obviously.

Allied to that Blueprint is an exploration of "compartmentalisation" - actually another aspect or attribute of Flow.

In short, this episode is longer than usual (bit of a paradox there!) because there's so much in it - so much that will change your life.

Another misleading episode title - because there's nothing that you need to boost!

Self-esteem is about how you think about what you think about who you think you are. How many steps removed are we from reality?

It's only our "Conceptual Self" that thinks it needs bettering, buttering-up, bolstering. The various tips that you'll find online about boosting your self-esteem are thoughts about thoughts.

And, as we know from previous episodes, we are at our best when we are not thinking. We are when we are not thinking.

So, do we need to stop thinking? And how much effort will that take? Is it even possible?

No, you don't need to try to stop something, you need to start being something... real. You simply need to come to your senses to actually feel who you really are - that way you'll stop thinking about it, stop thinking about yourself.

And, when we stop thinking, we start living. And that's a game-changer.
