What does time mean for you? A busy diary, rushing people, stress and anxiety — 'never enough hours in the day'? If so, there's plenty of that to watch on the Sky Movies channel. Or do you see it as one of the crowning glories of creation which makes all life possible? Nobel Prize winner Kip Thorne helped to unravel its mysteries in 'The Life Scientific' following his input on 'Interstellar', and thus inspired our thought for this week.

The placebo effect drives an element of expectation or belief for people taking part in a medical test, when they don't know whether they're taking the 'real thing' or are part of a control group. In this episode, Adam Cox uses the metaphor of a sleeping tablet rather than the actual thing to drive that placebo suggestion, thereby inducing a self-fulfilling policy to help you sleep. An added bonus here, too: there's no wake-up call at the end of the session, so you can just keep on sleeping!

The entanglement of phobias and beliefs is a curious characteristic of the human condition. This episode tackles one such, in relation to birds — but the approach which Adam Cox takes to interrupt that association could help in other areas too. Most phobias are maintained by association, but what is it that builds these fears? Maybe something you've read or watched, but it may also be an association subconsciously introduced by others. Break that association! Lose that phobia ..

If alcohol is a need, a compulsion, then it easily turns into an addiction. That can turn into arguments, embarrassment and inappropriate behaviour. But if it's a choice, it's possible to build a more healthy relationship with alcohol. Adam Cox invites you to explore regression to a point when you were without alcohol, and move towards it being that matter of choice, not necessity.

When a gruelling six-week campaign results in rejection, as with nearly 300 Conservative and SNP MPs, it may well result in a sense of being overwhelmed, at your wit's end: stressed, unworthy, depleted of your own resources. Adam Cox uses the pressure cooker metaphor to help release some of that baggage from the past. Don't let it push you over the edge — replace that stress with something useful.
