The Prime Life Project

By Daniel James

The Prime Life Project Podcast is focused on improving listeners' lives, guiding you in the right direction with all things mindset, mental health and self-development.

The Podcast covers a wide variety of topics, with an array of guests, giving each episode a different flavour to help you gain control over the things that matter the most for overall better well-being.

I started this podcast after my own mental health struggles and the frustration with the lack of useful resources out there to help people understand what they need to do to take care of their mental and emotional well-being.

193 - 5 Ways To Get Back On Track When You've Lost Your Way | Thursday Thoughts

193 - 5 Ways To Get Back On Track When You've Lost Your Way | Thursday Thoughts

This week's Thursday Thoughts discusses various approaches to regaining focus and purpose in life when you have been knocked of course.


One of the key takeaways from the video is the importance of surrounding oneself with positive and inspiring individuals who share similar goals. I also stress the significance of feeding your mind with self-development content and avoiding negativity.


Additionally, the power of physical exercise and changing one's body language to boost energy levels is highlighted. Finally, I emphasize the need for reflection when one has lost their way to understand what went wrong, to learn from the experience, and to progress in life.

#192 Mortgage Hacks To Help You Save Money & Navigate The Cost Of Living Crisis Ft Imran Hussain

In this week's podcast Imran Master, a financial and mortgage specialist provides advice on various financial topics in this video. He covers topics such as the pressure on young people to become homeowners, the lack of support for those aspiring to be self-employed or work in trades, managing personal loans, the process of obtaining a mortgage and improving credit scores, the fees involved in buying a house, and ways to save money by being disciplined.

Imran emphasizes the importance of transparency, discipline, and seeking help from a financial advisor for various financial decisions rather than trusting dubious advice. He suggests practical ways to save money, such as monitoring subscriptions and expenses regularly and avoiding unnecessary expenses. He also encourages people to invest in themselves and not fall for the instant gratification culture promoted by social media.


Key Episode Highlights

- Imran highlights the financial burden faced by potential homeowners, particularly young people, due to societal pressures and increased property prices.

- He explains the importance of early planning and seeking professional advice for self-employed individuals to ensure they can secure mortgages and avoid unexpected limitations.

- Imran simplifies the concept of interest rates and advises borrowers to focus on the total amount to be paid back rather than getting fixated on the current interest rate. He also highlights the importance of considering interest rates when dealing with personal loans.

#mindset #mentalhealth #podcast

In today's Thursday Thoughts, I want to talk about something that has changed my life - and I believe it can change yours too.

We often look to others - our family, friends, co-workers, etc. - for advice and feedback, but often we forget to take responsibility for our own lives. We blame other people for our life not being where we want it, instead of taking responsibility for our own choices and actions.

But by learning to take responsibility for our own lives, we can start to change the things that we can control and focus on the things that we can't. This is a journey, and it takes courage to start. But by taking the first step, we can change our life for

#167 The Real Reason Why You're Failing At Fat Loss | Thursday Thought

In this week's Thursday Thoughts, I'm going to share with you the real reason why you're failing at fat loss. Most people fail at fat loss because they do it from a place of hate. They're angry at their body, angry at the world, and angry at themselves.

The truth is, this type of anger isn't productive. It doesn't help you lose weight or change your life for the better. Instead, it creates negative emotions, low self-esteem, and endless frustration.

If you want to lose weight and change your life for the better, then you need to start from a place of love. Start by loving yourself enough to accept your body the way it is, and want to change it from a place of care and compassion rather than hatred.
