- Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Adam Up
After an incredibly hot month of June, my children finished school for the year and it has been raining ever since. I'm trying to convince myself that it is good for the garden and I'm thankful we are not suffering in the same way so many countries are with current heatwaves, but I'm off on holiday this weekend so am hoping to leave the rain behind for a while.
Yes indeed, I'm off on holiday,
and I'll be celebrating my 50th Birthday. I'm getting my leg pulled quite a bit at my gym by the younger guys who joke I use my age as an excuse sometimes - I love that. I love that I'm not allowed to use that as an excuse and I get to compete and train with guys much younger than me and get treated the same regardless of age. I have set myself a goal of being one of the fittest 50 year old men in the UK this year and am competing in the Hyrox competition in January with a view to doing well in
my age category and then competing at pro and elite levels - it is a journey I'll be sharing via social media.
Age is a bit of a theme here today, and me banging on about my 50th Birthday seemed like it linked nicely with one of my new articles this week. Especially as I look to the latter years of my life wishing for them to be healthy and enjoyable. In the past couple of weeks, a major study has been published and discussed by many major news and media outlets and publications,
on the topic of life expectancy. The research was presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition in Boston and covered more than 700,000 records of US veterans who were enrolled in the Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Programme (link given in article). The research suggested that 8 particular lifestyle changes could add more than 20 years to your life, they are shared in the article. Today, I've got a few other new articles to share with you too;
on the topics of finding mental calmness, living life with a sense of purpose, forgiving oneself, and improving cognitive flexibility.
I've also shared information about a big project I've been working on for some time - the neuroscience of psychotherapy - which is a 4-part online course I've been running last month month that I now have recordings available for anyone wishing to study it. In addition to articles, I share a lot of infographics on some
really interesting and stimulating topics on my IG account, Twitter and Facebook, you can browse through those anytime. All my social media links are given at the foot of this newsletter broadcast. Myself, and all of us who work here hope that you are safe and healthy wherever you are in this world. Likewise, I hope you are coping well with life currently and that your mental health is bearing up. And just as a reminder, you are receiving

Articles: What's New?
A wide range of new articles to help in varying aspects of life here today...
|
All articles are founded in science and have references for you to explore should you wish:
1. When you’re young, you may believe you have plenty of time to leave your imprint on the world. Your entire life is still ahead
of you, and your 80s feel like a very long time from now. You begin to consider how you want to live a long, fulfilling life as you get older and more mature. You want to travel to those far-off nations you’ve been wanting to see, attend your grandkids’ weddings, and spend as much time as you can in this wild, wonderful world.
Even if you have outstanding genes, living to be 100 is not a given. But the good news is that longevity is greatly determined by your lifestyle choices and
behaviours. This means you can actually have a lot of control over how long you live. And regardless of your age, it’s never too late to start forming these healthy habits in order to live a long and fruitful life.
What Research Has to Say About This?
According to research, you might be able to prolong your life by making a few little lifestyle adjustments. Harvard researchers examined data from two significant ongoing cohort studies that compile nutrition, lifestyle, and medical
data on more than 100,000 adults for a study that was published in the journal Circulation. They sought to learn how a variety of good lifestyle choices relate to a long life free of illness (also known as healthspan). The results were striking: people who practised all healthy behaviours lived longer by more than ten years than people who did not.

2. “Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organise your life around it.” – Brian Tracey.
You’re not the only one who wonders how to relax when feeling anxious. Many people occasionally desire relaxing methods that result in
peacefulness.
The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 31.1% of American adults at some point in their lives suffer from an anxiety disorder. That doesn’t necessarily apply to the large number of people who, regardless of a mental health diagnosis, only desire quick fixes for their worry.
Knowing how to calm your brain may be helpful whether you deal with anxiety symptoms on a regular basis or are going through a stressful situation. Here are a few quick methods for
relieving stress for 10 minutes without using standard meditation techniques.
It may seem difficult to overcome anxiousness. But there are numerous methods you can try to reduce your stress and get a little peace and quiet. These are supported by scientific studies, but the best course of action might just be to figure out what works the best for you.

3. At some point in our lives, many of us will feel purposeless. If you’re fortunate enough to have a devoted family, a fulfilling job, and encouraging friends, you might be wondering why it doesn’t feel like enough or that something is missing.
It may seem as though you are floating aimlessly through life without a sense
of direction or meaning when you lack both meaning and purpose. Finding meaning and purpose though, can help you connect to something bigger and can instill in you traits like ambition, aim, passion, and vigour. The good news is that it’s never too late to discover your purpose if you are unsure of it.
To help you find sense of purpose in your life, here are eight different tips that can help you live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
After all, “Having a sense of
purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for” – Bryant M. MCgcill.

4. In our fast-paced world, the ability to adapt and think flexibly has become
increasingly important. According to Idris Moote, “Design thinking is about cognitive flexibility, the ability to adapt the process to challenges.”
Whether it’s navigating complex tasks at work, solving problems, or simply dealing with the challenges of everyday life, cognitive flexibility plays a crucial role in our success and well-being. But how can we enhance this cognitive skill? In this article, I’m offering up some practical strategies to improve cognitive
flexibility that are backed by scientific research. While the concept may sound daunting, don’t worry! I will break it down into simple steps and provide you with actionable tips that you can start implementing right away. By understanding the underlying mechanisms of cognitive flexibility and incorporating effective techniques into your routine, you can unlock new mental pathways, expand your thinking horizons, and enhance your overall cognitive abilities.
So, let’s dive in and discover
the power of improving cognitive flexibility for a more adaptable and fulfilling life!

5. “Forgive the past and let it go with great gratitude. It will allow us to embrace the present and future with love,
enthusiasm, and passion.” – Debasish Mridha
Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, triumphs and mistakes. Sometimes, we find ourselves carrying the weight of regret and self-blame, which can take a toll on our well-being. But there’s good news: we have the ability to heal ourselves through the transformative act of self-forgiveness.
In this article, I’m exploring the profound connection between forgiving ourselves and improving our health. It may sound
simple, but forgiving ourselves can have a profound impact on our emotional and physical well-being. By letting go of past mistakes and embracing self-compassion, we can set ourselves free and create a healthier, happier life.
This article will provide practical tips and techniques to help you embark on the path of self-forgiveness. It’s time to release the burden of self-blame and cultivate self-love.

Free Self-Hypnosis Tuition:
I think that self-hypnosis is an incredible
skill, a psychological skill that can be imported to most environments of your life and applied to most aspects of your mental and physical well-being.There are many myths and misconceptions about self-hypnosis, and it is typically taught incorrectly and not in line with scientific findings or with academic literature. It is an easy to apply skill that anyone can learn and achieve great things with and an aim of
ours here is to disseminate that understanding to the public. A great place to start learning is to download my self-hypnosis roadmap if you've not done so already, for free on this page of the college website: Self-Hypnosis Roadmap. These free resources are all based upon my own research conducted at Bournemouth University and my book on the subject, the Science of
Self-Hypnosis.
In recent weeks, my social media output has been filled with video clips of me squatting at the gym, lots of evidence-based memes citing the latest hypnosis research, photos from my life and loads of articles from our
vaults and some other bits and pieces. You can follow and keep up to date here: The meme of the week is below....
When you build self-efficacy, you can drive motivation! 💪✨
1️⃣ Choose
activities or steps that guarantee early success, giving you the confidence to conquer anything that comes your way.
2️⃣ Be inspired by witnessing the triumphs of others who share your passions. Their achievements will fuel your own journey towards greatness.
3️⃣ Surround yourself with a supportive network of mentors, coaches, and guides who will uplift you and provide valuable feedback to help you excel.
