Doug is joined by Andrew Dewar, an accountant turned energy healer and life coach. Andrew talks to Doug about his transformative journey and introduces his "Five Year You" program which is designed to help people become their best selves over a five-year period. Andrew offers a fresh perspective on goal setting, personal growth, and living an authentic life in this episode, by sharing what he has learnt is effective, including giving yourself permission to change. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The "Five Year You" program focuses on becoming your best self over five years, taking the pressure off short-term goals and focusing instead on long-term lifestyle changes.
• Andrew introduces the "Layers of Life" concept, which encourages living from the inside out, starting with your soul's purpose and working outward to relationships and material possessions.
• You have to learn to give yourself permission to live a good life and make changes that align with your true self, rather than trying to impress others or meet societal expectations.
• Andrew emphasises the value of making small, consistent changes (1% improvements) in daily habits to create significant long-term results in personal growth and wellbeing.
• Andrew introduces the "60 Second Rule" as a technique for managing recurring thoughts or concerns, allowing brief focused attention before moving on.
• Don't underestimate the importance of setting multiple goals beyond your primary objective, to help you maintain motivation and direction after achieving a significant milestone.
• Andrew shares his big audacious goal of helping a million people become their best selves, don't be afraid of thinking big and taking consistent action towards a vision.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life is way better when you give yourself permission to live a good life."

"When you know who you are, it's been my experience that the right people show up and the right community takes place."

"Focus more on the person that you want to become. Then use goals, as you're measuring stops along the way because if you are trying to lose weight for the beach trip you're going on next summer, if you're trying to save up money for a trip, if you're trying to do all these things, that's not changing your identity"

"I got to 60 and I was looking out ahead of my life thinking, well, you know, if I get to 80, I've done 75 percent of my life. I've got 25 percent left"

"People are rooting for you. And when you get around people that also want to live a great life, it changes"
