Is there something you've been putting off for ages due the burden it represents? We speak of such pressures being a millstone which holds us back. Adam Cox presents a way to switch your mindset in this episode: a switch that could be symbolised by switching that second 'l' into an 'e'. Rather than feel weighed down by the challenge, try looking ahead for the fact that, when you've dealt with it, you'll have irrefutable evidence that such adversities can be overcome.

The current state of humanity could well be giving rise to a degree of despair in divine quarters: we certainly don't seem to have learnt much over the past two thousand years. With Easter now only just over a week away, perhaps it's time to see how a deeper understanding of logic and unconditional love could contribute to religious insight.

Medication makes few inroads into the anxiety that people can experience with flying. This episode seeks to banish the fear by expanding and contracting the comfort zone, aiming particularly to settle the mind for long-distance flights. Adam Cox even uses video game metaphors for this very different approach.

There are many types of addiction — drugs (the basis for this session), smoking, alcohol — and there's often a real will to break that fixation. This episode is about reaching for the point of threshold at which that can be achieved. As the proverb in the title suggests, it may be a very small thing that brings about a very big change. It's worth asking yourself, 'What happens if I never change?' So, if you've become a slave to addiction, look for that point of threshold and break free!

Donald Trump's comment about Keir Starmer being 'No Churchill' wholly overlooks Churchill's part in destabilising Iran when the UK and US were the prime movers behind the 1953 coup d’état — or was he perhaps making reference to that? What followed was 26 years of authoritarian rule by the Shah, which brought about the 1979 Islamic revolution — then the past 47 years of more authoritarian rule. It's now more urgent than ever to provide a forum for stability and peace, and the UK has a real duty to help find the answer. Background music: 'Lost in Prayer' by Doug Maxwell

Coping with high stress/toxic environments can result in carrying heavy emotional baggage rooted in early years' experience, particularly if accompanied by a desire to be accepted or to fit in with a facade/mask to obscure that stress. Adam Cox uses metaphorical images of a deep dark forest, and being weighed down with heavy baggage, in order to re-visit coping strategies from childhood to introduce a more authentic, 'future-pacing' and real version for the listener.

This is a short episode, designed to build on a mindset based on the law of attraction and abundance. It therefore seeks to amplify that belief system, providing a short-cut to thinking positively.

A part of a person which is not fully in the control of that person can give rise to actions which you might regret, such as binge-eating: it's call the 'disassociated part'. Adam Cox links it to a metaphor of vampires, possibly welcomed by good intentions and perhaps when looking for a comfort blanket, but which give rise to negative consequences. His advice is: don't let the vampire in.

Starmer has learnt the hard way that without truth there can be no trust. But throughout society people feel that they cannot take anything at face value, and the deception and dishonesty which riddles social media are significantly exacerbating this problem. The need for a moral compass is heavily tested without faith: GK Chesterton said, 'When people stop believing in God, they'll believe in anything’. Is this really where we want to be?
