It's dead easy to get wound up by a situation or person. We fight with reality which leaves us even more frustrated and anxious. In this vlog I share one of my most favourite tools for changing your perspective from problem to play. It's easy, it's fun and it's super effective.

Have you ever had it where something you thought was a terrible situation turned out to be the best thing that could have happened? In this short vlog, I discuss how we often fall into the trap of judging a situation too quickly, becoming resistant and stressed with the already stressful situation we're in. This is a little invite to let go of those initial judgements of difficult times and wait and see what becomes the truth when you look back at the situation with a clearer perspective and meaning.

THIS IS MEGA EXCITING, YOU GUYS. I want us to raise £2,000 for mental health and combat men's suicide. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN. In order to make it possible, on the 3rd and 10th November at 17:00 to 18:00 (GMT) I will be hosting a workshop focusing on giving you the insights, tools and experience to help you, or someone you know and love, rediscover direction, confidence and strength. These events are for people who are currently going through a difficult patch in their life, or for people who want to learn how to help people who are experiencing challenges. I will be teaching theories and models from human psychology to better understand topics such as our subconscious mind, motivation, relationships, limiting beliefs, self-esteem and confidence; as well as providing practical tools by guiding you through experiences that will enable you to take home and implement the learnings from each workshop. So not to allow preconceived ideas of what I'll be up to, each workshop will be a complete mystery to you before you come along! Muaahahaaa! What I can promise to you is that: 1) You'll never be made to do something you don't want to (you can relax about having to open up Pandora's box in front of a bunch of strangers online) - you don't even have to have your camera on or talk if you don't want to! 2) The content of the workshops are suggestions, invites and things that have worked for me and the good people that I've worked with; I will never be dogmatic or preachy about what I'm saying or doing. 3) I will do my honest best to make the workshops fun, engaging, uniting and profoundly insightful; I'll let you be the judge of whether or not I achieve that! Each workshop is gifted to raise money for men's mental health and testicular cancer. I only ask if you would donate whatever you feel the workshops are worth and whatever you can give with a whole heart to the Movember Charity. To sign up: 1) RSVP to the chosen event: https://mobro.co/ajtizzy 2) BLOCK OUT THE TIME IN YOUR CALENDAR - NO FORGETTING! 3) Share it with your amigos, pals, bezzie m8s, bros, soul sistaz, partner, fiancé, wife, husband, bit on the side, friend with benefits, Mum, Dad, uncles, aunties, neighbours, colleagues, aquaintances, strangers, Facebook friends, Instagram followers, Twitter followers, Bebo top friends, MySpace faves, Plenty Of Fish profile, Tinder potentials (great date idea actually!), email all your contact list, even bloody invite ya Grandma and Grandpa if they're up for it! 4) And when the time comes I'll do a Facebook Live in the Facebook event page! Disclaimer: - Workshops may run over up to 30 minutes depending on how we're flowing, but you're more than welcome to leave at any point if you need to scoot! - These workshops are not to be used as a substitute for clinical and professional help. If you are already seeking help (which is awesome, well done), please consult with them before doing a workshop and tell me beforehand so I know where there might be some trigger points. Additionally, if you are in a particularly fragile place in your life, please reach out to me to talk about whether we think it would be cool for you do participate. Thanks a million!

Let me take you on a journey through our subconscious mind and limiting beliefs to get you fired up on empowering thoughts and interesting psychology. I explain how NLP works and the science behind changing our limiting beliefs as well as some classic pitfalls we make when trying to change our thoughts.

Too often we find ourselves caught up in seeking external validation in order to feel good about ourselves; we want to be liked, competent at work or sexually attractive, however, in doing so our self-likability is at the fate of others and out of our control. Whilst we may even be good at pleasing others, life will inevitably become rather anxious, tiring and unfulfilling for us. In this vlog, I share 5 ways you can assess your self-esteem and 3 simple ways you can start to really value yourself and love yourself fully.

We asked the participants from one of the month-long intensive empowerment programs at Rosemary Dream who would benefit from Arun's work. Find out if you might be able to get something yourself.

We're never taught in school what to do when we get triggered or feel difficult emotions. In this video you will learn about two techniques called expanding and distancing which effectively work by reducing the power that your negative thoughts and feelings have over your behaviour order for you to take purposeful more aligned action towards being the person that makes you shine, creating empathetic and connected relationships and achieving your most important goals.

What's actually going on when we get triggered by someone? Is it really them who is the problem? Are they really the ones who are causing our suffering? Why do we get frustrated at situations? Do we really 'have' to do something? Does the answer lie in changing our external world, 'If only I could...', 'If only they would...'. or could the seed lie deeper; perhaps within us? This vlog is to challenge you to dig deeper and find your peace from within rather than giving up your power and serenity to situations and people. When we do this, we're able to see beyond our own disempowering story and live a life more aligned with who we want to be and what we want to do.
