Ep 97. The Unexpected Benefits of Pessimistic Thinking
Thursday Mar 14, 2024
Thursday Mar 14, 2024
Why haven't we evolved to be eternally optimistic if optimistic thinking is so much better?
The answer, like all things in nature, is that nothing is inherently good or bad, and the trick is to learn balance and have the ability to make best use of these different ways of thinking, depending on the requirements of the situation.
This week I explore the benefits of Pessimistic Thinking (and offer a recap of that means for those who missed the last two episodes).
If you have a natural tendency towards pessimistic thinking, this episode may help you harness the power that comes with it and build greater resilience for the moments when you need to take big leaps into the unknown in your efforts to achieve your biggest goals.

Welcome to another episode of the Big Happy Life podcast where Natalie Britt, your hypnotherapist and host, takes you on an insightful journey of understanding and overcoming a "pessimistic explanatory style".

Here, you will discover the profound impact your thoughts can have in fostering resilience and driving you towards long-term goals.
Natalie invites listeners to reflect on their thought patterns and grasp their narratives for success, and finishes with a resounding message of belief in one’s ability to shape thought patterns that empower and promote success.

Ep 94. Selfish, Selfless or Spiritual - with Tess Vergara
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
"Joy is not something you quest for. It is something you allow. It is in your nature." - Tess Vergara
My guest today is Tess Vergara, a Soul Powered Executive Coach who addresses the conflicts many executives face between mind and heart, soul and ego so they can be more productive, creative, abundant and successful.
In this episode, Tess helps explore the idea that fulfilment and joy require us to accept all parts of ourselves - including the parts we've been taught were "bad".
If you've every worried about being "selfish" or thought any part of you was "bad" or somehow "not good enough", this episode could help bring you greater acceptance and open you up to a life that feels more joyful and fulfilling.
At the end of the episode, Tess also talks about the freebie she has on offer at the moment. You can find all the links you need to connect with Tess and download the freebie on the show notes page at bighappylife.co.uk

Ep. 93 Connecting to something bigger with Tanya Hackney
Sunday Nov 05, 2023
Sunday Nov 05, 2023
I'm on a bit of a personal quest right now - exploring what it means to live life as an expression of joy rather than in the pursuit of happiness.
In this episode, I talk to the wonderful Tanya Hackney, author of "Leaving the Safe Harbor: The risks and rewards of raising a family on a boat".
This is one of the deepest, most thought provoking conversations I've had on the podcast as Tanya and I explore life, death, God, the universe and, of course, what it means to live life as an expression of joy.
Tanya's faith is a huge part of her ability to do this, and she shares that with us, along with many beautiful stories, experiences and lessons.
I hope you'll enjoy this conversation and take as much from it as I did.
Tanya's book is available from all good book shops and on Amazon as well.
