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.

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.

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.

The challenge of being the centre of attention such as with public speaking can be difficult, but preparatory states can also be resourceful: think of Novak Djokovic tapping the ball on the ground before he serves.

Adam Cox uses the metaphor of an invisible wall to help an academic complete the final part of their research paper in this episode; but we're all aware of the reluctance to get on with actions, of allowing molehills to turn into mountains in our minds. The key is to break down something daunting into something doable — to make a start. Then the momentum carries one through to completion, and new possibilities can open up. Releasing hesitancy can create change — so make a start!

Adam Cox provides an episode without the normal introduction: helping to build confidence in the ability to sell and to manage in a business, but drawing an interesting parallel with surfing. Both are activities which you can't really learn from reading books — it's more about building confidence, experience and a positive state of mind.
