If you've already made some progress with losing weight but you want to achieve a bit more before that summer holiday you've got planned, this could be just the ticket! Using a technique called, 'Pseudo Orientation in Time', Adam Cox helps you to create a compelling vision that you not only could lose that extra bit of weight, but will do so. Imagine the photos you'll be taking on holiday — imagine packing only clothes which are one size smaller: this will give you confidence to achieve that aim.

Resorting to anger as adults can be linked to difficult childhood situations where perceived unfairness can give rise to suspecting others of malicious thinking, rather than neutral motivations where they're caught up in their own world. In contrast to what otherwise might be an instinctive reaction to defend oneself, this episode may help in remaining on the look-out for such situations for thinking differently — giving the ability to neutralise situations before they get out of hand, and to avoid instinctive frustration which can otherwise boil over.

The title for this episode must spell out what the great majority of people are looking for, although the episode itself was designed for and individual person. More choice, more happiness, more opportunities — and freedom from anxiety, tension and being surrounded with constraints. For those who concur with Share Radio's search for a more egalitarian form of capitalism, Adam Cox sets a good marker for which to aim — for the whole human family.

The English language does a real dis-service to Love. How can we use the same word to show our appreciation of ice cream as to define the nature of God — and everything in between? But the driving passion which is often described by the word love is often more about control. In contrast, we turn once again to 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran to find his definition, which is much better phrased in terms of mutual trust and respect: both of which could significantly benefit inter-faith relations.

Writing about marriage in 1923 in his book, 'The Prophet', Kahlil Gibran said, 'Love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls'. This episode is all about how to assess the values that could be, or could not be, met in order to build a good, strong relationship resting on freedom and acceptance. There's an old saying, 'If you love someone, let them go'. It may sound somewhat paradoxical, but a relationship based on trust relies on love and synergy, not control.

In ancient Roman religion and mythology Mars was the God of War but, judging by the fact that almost all wars in our modern age have their origins in disputes and disagreements over faith, you could be forgiven for thinking that Mars was still in the ascendant today. The difference is, today's wars can literally bring life on earth to a close. However almost all religions have love and peace at their heart; initiatives such as the 'Common Word' prepared in 2007 by leading Muslim scholars and teachers reflect Jesus's teaching to 'love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you'. This very irenic and ecumenical document is in ironic contrast with today's Iranian conflict. Background music: 'Beauty for Brokenness' by Graham Kendrick Image source: Wikipedia

Moving home can call for a fresh emotional start, leaving behind anxieties, releasing things that weren't useful and carrying the good things forward. Adam Cox uses a variety of metaphors, including nature, to talk through this process and help with that transition.

Developing a sense of personal empowerment can be held back by a variety of experience: conditional support from parents during childhood, people exercising control or co-ercion, a sense of guilt or shame being imposed by others. Breaking free from that conditionality can be a challenge. Adam uses the metaphor of sovereignty to help build confidence and break free of things that can hold us back in our life journey.
