Insight Maximizers

Aren't we all supposed to help each other? Most of us are taught that to be helpful is to be loving. How do we know when we help too much? And how do we know when helping someone else actually hurts them or even us? Have you ever helped someone without them even asking? Not helping someone for many is counterintuitive, yet what is actually needed. Listen to this episode to get some tools on how to give yourself a moment to think before agreeing to help someone!  Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon.

It's weird to think that we don't always know what we're thinking deep down. What's even stranger is how our unconscious core beliefs can affect every part of us, internally and externally!   There are keys to gaining insight into unconscious beliefs. There is such power in becoming aware of a lens that colors our view of the world because then we change that core belief! As the belief changes, so do our emotions and behaviors, leading to feeling better!    Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon.

Have you ever thought of how much energy it takes to be resentful? And all the emotions that are connected with resentment--the shock, hurt, shame, guilt, and many other feelings that are so draining! It may seem harder to face what's going on in our relationship with someone else in the moment, and it's easier to allow the situation to fester, allowing resentment to be created and grow. We can actually learn how to choose discomfort instead of resentment and benefit from that choice!  Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon.

The hazard of those behaviors is that they can lead to resentment, which is a waste of our time and energy! How do we let go of negativity and find possibilities? Listen and find out!

Jenni and Suze come to the end of season four with a message to not get stuck in the triggers and to use the PAUSE as our emergency or first responder plan. Owning triggers and not blaming others is a boundary mindset that enables us to gain insight. This insight can be used to psychologically prepare ourselves for similar events in the future.   They encourage everyone to ask “How” questions to get insight and create a plan for interacting with others or reacting to life. Thinking about our future selves, we can plan how we want to respond when we're feeling activated, especially around others. Slowing down and thinking things through help us to use tools and feel more peace inside. Suze and Jenni wish everyone peace in this time and always, as much as is possible!   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

  As Jenni and Suze worked out the Maxer Method, looking at a personal problematic pattern, they acknowledged that feeling activated or triggered is an ongoing part of the human experience. Continuing their work on acceptance has helped to reveal alternatives to dealing with situations in their lives. Pausing, when activated, still proves helpful in assisting them to feel better about how they navigate situations! They agree that it's easy to look at other people as the cause of their issues, yet that doesn't ever solve the problematic patterns. Looking at ourselves with compassion, what we want and need, and putting into action new ways of being can help change these pesky patterns!  The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

The past is the past, right? Not according to Jenni and Suze! In the continued effort to gain insight and use it for better interactions internally and with others, Suze and Jenni discuss how insights from the past can help us plan for the future. They remind us that ignoring the past can potentially cause issues internally and with others. It can also lead to repeating impulsive reactions over and over and expecting different results, which they learned is the definition of insanity from the perspective of 12-step groups.  They discuss thinking when having an emotion, which is different from what our society usually promotes, so the insight gained can be used to have a different outcome in the future. This episode's Maxer Method will help them, and you will start using insight to plan for a different future! The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Suze and Jenni continue their exploration into how to create acceptance for challenging things in life. They reviewed their thoughts about acceptance, including the fact that this topic was never taught to them when they were growing up. Actually, quite the opposite was something they experienced in their families! Jenni generously shared her example of applying the Serenity Prayer to a recent situation that challenged her. As a result of their experience with this Maxer Method, they decided to create a worksheet that everyone can use to do this work faster and easier.

  What would life be like for us if we decided to accept things just as they are? Jenni and Suze know that they weren't taught by their parents about acceptance because it was seen as a weakness. It was only through all their psychological work as adults did they learned what acceptance is and the power of it.  Listen as they discuss the benefits of acceptance and consider doing the Maxer Method for this episode like they will be.  The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Now that Jenni and Suze have said the "F" word, they review what forgiveness means and what it isn't. They remind us of the hazards of resentment and its darkness. They question why to even forgive in the first place, and thankfully there are benefits such as peacefulness, better health, compassion, self-confidence, and more! To continue encouraging their listeners to do the Maxer Methods, they discuss the challenges and insights they gained from doing the latest Maxer Method. They were surprised to learn that they both had unexpected options come to them after doing the 9 steps of forgiveness.

Here comes a really challenging topic: forgiveness! Suze and Jenni look at what forgiveness isn't and what gets in the way of forgiving, including looking at resentment. In their usual fashion, Jenni and Suze look to Merriam-Webster's current and 1828 to define forgiveness. They learned about the 9 steps of forgiveness from Dr. Frederic Luskin of the Stanford Forgiveness Project, which they have adapted in a handout so they, and all you Maxers out there, can become more comfortable and skilled at forgiving!

Jenni and Suze review what they know about the impact that emotions and thoughts have on each other. Suze added information about the correlation between the intensity of emotion and how that impacts thoughts, behavior, and how we feel in our bodies. To help visualize what she discussed, Suze created a handout for y'all to download for FREE at www.insightmaximizers.com/handouts!  Suze and Jenni both agreed that the most recent Maxer Method was a challenge, consolidating a lot of the information they have shared in this podcast. Jenni shared the strides she's been making toward change that she's proud of. Suze acknowledged how her relationship with herself has been recently impacted by stress in her life.

Jenni and Suze decide to dive in a little deeper into the connection between thoughts and feelings. They look at how our beliefs are created, starting in our early childhood. Beliefs, as they learned, affect how we feel about past experiences. That's the creation of “old stuff.”   Fast forward to today, and we have something happen that feels familiar or similar to that past experience. We have emotions about the “new stuff,” and we can have emotions resurface from our past experiences at the same time, affecting the intensity of our reaction. Long-held beliefs from our perception of the past can be a lens that we look through as we experience current events.   The good news is that we can rewrite our perception of our past experiences, and we can change our beliefs. The gift of that is less intense emotional reactions!   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

After reminding themselves of what they were focusing on with feelings stacking, building tolerance to emotions, feelings flooding and emotional hangovers, Jen and Suze discussed the insight they gained from doing the most recent Maxer Method.   They shared experiences in which they noticed how they reacted to their initial emotions, particularly regarding interactions with others in their lives. They both benefitted from slowing down their reactions, thinking through what they experienced, and allowing themselves to truly feel their feelings. As a result, neither felt too bad about how they acted after their reflection!   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

How do we experience our emotions? Jenni and Suze have discussed how we experience our feelings in our bodies. Now they discuss things that can happen with our emotions by how we deal with them. Have you had more than one emotion about a specific situation? That's what most of us experience. Having an emotion as a result of an emotion is a different story. What about the flight, fight, or freeze response regarding our feelings? Can we have lingering physical sensations as a result of emotions? Do we all mean the same thing when we label or describe a feeling? Suze and Jenni investigate these questions and more! The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Jenni and Suze review consciousness, using mindfulness and biofeedback to access information internally to understand how they were reacting to challenging and enjoyable events in their lives. They utilize their new tool, the Self-Awareness Worksheet located at www.insightmaximizers.com/handouts, both realizing that the more detail they wrote out, the better they understood themselves.  They hope to help people build the skills to gain insight through tools like the Self-Awareness Worksheet to increase all's ability to experience all the emotions related to all types of events and choose how they want to behave.   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Jenni and Suze delve into the components of self-awareness, exploring what it means to be conscious and aware. They remind us that insight comes from awareness, particularly of what we experience in our bodies, the emotions we have, the thoughts we create, and the actions we take or think about taking. How do we become self-aware? Mindfulness is discussed, and a reminder that biofeedback helps us understand what our body is trying to tell us. Sometimes, the best thing to do is write out what we observe in ourselves. Together, they have created a worksheet to tease out the different areas of information inside each of us.

  Suze and Jenni reconnect to continue their investigation into triggers and activators. They remind themselves and their listeners how we tend to look at triggers as being negative, originating with the Merriam-Webster dictionary and in our internal safety system in our brains.  They decided to look for positive triggers in their lives, and boy, did they find them! It was refreshing to hear that both Jenni and Suze had so many things happen that elicited happiness and joy. Unbeknownst to the other, they both had “bittersweet” memories—where there was joy, they also felt some sadness, reminding them that we never have just one feeling about anything.  The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Suze and Jenni return to discuss triggers or activators, the good, the bad, the ugly! They learn that Merriam-Webster denotes a trigger as causing an intense and usually negative reaction in someone, which perpetuates the bum rap that triggers get! Despite how our brains are wired, we can override the tendency to react negatively to things that used to upset us. Jenni and Suze also explain how positive triggers can elicit uplifting emotions! We can also change the way a trigger affects us emotionally, as seen in an example that Jenni and Suze discuss.  To offset the negative stigma of activators, Suze and Jenni challenge themselves and their audience to take some time to focus more on triggers that resulted in happiness.    The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Jen and Suze want the Maxer community to be encouraged about insight, so they spend some time defining insight as well as intuition. They remind themselves and people listening to that insight will help us all feel better, even if it doesn't feel good in the moment. They both thought about recent upsetting events and asked themselves questions about how they handled the events. Listen to hear the major differences in how they both handled their situations, yet both walked away gaining insight. They hope this will help listeners feel better about the experiences they had when they looked at an upsetting event from their lives. Ultimately, Suze and Jen hope that listeners also gain insight!   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

  Jenni and Suze reflect on how their project and podcast all started. They wanted to turn challenges into opportunities to improve their lives, and help others improve theirs.  In this episode, they talk about why they've put together skills and tools to be better prepared psychologically for those moments when we get thrown off emotionally. If you want ways to prepare psychologically for upcoming events, not just plan the logistics of how you'll get there and what you'll wear, then you've come to the right podcast.

Over the break of their podcast, Jenni and Suze practiced the trigger plan PAUSE. In the season opener, they discuss what PAUSE stands for, their questions for gaining insight when activated, and the gift that PAUSE has been for them both. They shared what they observed and learned from practicing PAUSE, and they hope this encourages all who listen to integrate PAUSE into their daily lives like Suze and Jenni strive to do.

As Season 3 comes to an end, so does 2023. Jenni and Suze reflect on how the approaching holiday season and new year can bring challenges. They suggest it's a perfect time to observe ourselves and reduce the chances of reacting impulsively and regretting it. They presented questions to ask and a simple acronym to help themselves and listeners remember to observe themselves more than they observe others. They explained their concept of PAUSE, describing the meaning of each letter of the word. Find their handy tools to PAUSE at www.insightmaximizers.com/handouts.

  Jenni and Suze created a booklet compiling skills from coaching and therapy to help them and listeners debunk and dispute thinking. They highly encourage anyone to download it for free from their website: www.insightmaximizers.com/handouts.  In the booklet, there are three journaling exercises. Jenni chose one of the therapy techniques, and Suze chose the coaching method of debunking limiting beliefs. Both shared how the techniques worked for them, and both experienced a lot of benefits from the exercises they chose.  They hope listeners will try out any of the techniques in the booklet, and they offer support to anyone needing it.  The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

In a constant effort this season to understand the impact thinking has on us, Suze and Jenni reviewed the Insight Maximizers definition of a belief and coaching work on empowering beliefs, limiting beliefs, and self-limiting beliefs. Both practiced the Maxer Method from the last episode, journaling despite their resistance. Jenni has had years of coaching herself, and she was still able to learn a new self-limiting belief. This was Suze's first attempt at looking at self-limiting beliefs, so it was reassuring to know that there are always new insights to be had! She benefited from Jenni's handout for limiting and empowering beliefs, which can be found at www.insightmaximizers.com/handouts.  Jenni was instrumental in helping Suze dig deeper and identify the true self-limiting belief from a thought that Suze labeled as a limiting belief.  Ultimately, Suze and Jenni hope their listeners will find support and encouragement when listening to them discuss their experiences with the Maxer Method.  The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

In their continued search for insights into the impact of thoughts, Jenni and Suze discuss coaching concepts about limiting and empowering beliefs. Coaching is a culmination of human's lifelong search for the “good life,” from the times of Aristotle all the way to the influence of Positive Psychology, as Jenni gives us a little history and context.  To create a better life, we have to look at how our thinking influences every aspect of us. Jenni educates us about the difference between limiting and empowering beliefs, including looking at how limiting beliefs are different from distorted thinking and irrational beliefs that they discussed earlier this season. Jenni created a handout to use in this episode's Maxer Method. Please look for the Beliefs Checklist at insightmaximizers.com/handouts. They hope listeners will join them in working the Maxer Method to identify limiting beliefs and change those thoughts to empowering beliefs.   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

In this episode, Suze and Jenni give personal examples of how to debunk irrational beliefs. First, they investigate the difference between a thought, a thought pattern or process, and a belief.  Despite their slight aversion to journaling, they both found a payoff again when they did the most recent Maxer Method challenge. Suze was able to identify a pattern with her thinking when she dug deeper, identifying three particular irrational beliefs that were active for her in relation to her current life situation.  Jenni's insight was the correlation between intense emotions and irrational beliefs, noting that intense emotions triggered some irrational beliefs for her. Suze related that she found that different irrational beliefs had been triggered in the past under other circumstances when she had intense emotions.  Suze and Jenni demonstrate how you can dispute these pesky beliefs by using the tool called Irrational Beliefs handout which you can download from their website at https://insightmaximizers.com/handouts.  The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Suze and Jenni continue to focus on thinking, and how it is impacted by emotions. While a mild emotional reaction causes thinking to become distorted, an intense feeling will make thoughts irrational. Suze describes the work that Albert Ellis PhD has done to identify 12 irrational beliefs, which Jenni and Suze have compiled for listeners in an easy-to-use handout. Please visit the Insight Maximizers' newly renovated website at insightmaximizers.com to download your free tool to see the full list of the 12 irrational beliefs as well as disputes for each one to help make an irrational belief more rational.

While practicing the most recent Maxer Method, Jenni and Suze realized that distorted thinking is a large part of their conditioned self. It was a good piece of insight for them that connected the coaching and therapy worlds. Suze worked heavily on jumping to conclusions, one of David Burns' distorted thinking patterns. Jenni realized that she was thinking in should statements, despite not using the word should or ought. They both used skills from the handout insightmaximizers.com/handouts) that helped them change their thinking and in turn, what they were feeling! They hope that everyone listening realizes that we all have distorted thinking, and it can be challenged and changed!   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

There are many tools available to help us understand how our thinking impacts our emotions, how our body feels and the actions we take or don't take. To continue our journey into our thinking, Suze discusses one too with Jenni, the 10 distorted thinking patterns identified by David Burns, MD. This episode's Maxer Method is more journaling, much to the chagrin of Jenni and Suze who remain journal resistant. At least this time the recommended amount of journaling is 3 days, not 5!  Suze created a handout with the 10 distorted thinking patterns that can be downloaded at insightmaximizer.com/handouts. It will be useful to have the handout to learn the coping skills available for us once we identify the distortion we're using. That's the message Jenni and Suze want you to know; we all have distorted thinking, and we can all change those thoughts.    The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Jenni and Suze identified differences between coaching and counseling to inform listeners. They reviewed the Authentic Self and Conditioned Self, which they were identifying in their journaling with the last Maxer Method. Suze continues to struggle with journaling, though found this Maxer Method quite useful to gain insight and feel peaceful inside. Jenni was able to see her progress as she journaled for this episode after reviewing the journaling she did three weeks prior. In the end, they both really believe that journaling is helpful!   The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Jenni and Suze continue to explore thought patterns, this time shifting from a psychological framework to looking through the lens of coaching. Jenni educates us on the mindset of the Authentic Self versus that of the Conditioned Self from her coaching work. Suze relates how self-talk is a part of the work that some therapists do with their clients, noting how the coaching information could help her better assist her clients. At the end of the episode, Suze offers the next Maxer Method for fellow insight seekers to try for more insight. Jenni and Suze agree to practice the Maxer Method themselves, despite it being journaling again—not one of their favorite things to do! To assist with the process, Jenni created a checklist to help identify when a thought is from our Authentic Self versus our Conditioned Self.

Suze and Jenni continue to practice what they preach, discussing how they both utilized the Maxer Method recommended to understand and benefit from Transactional Analysis of ego states. Suze briefly reminded us what Transactional Analysis was about before Jenni began with her experience.  Both shared intimate, emotional examples of how they identified ego states in themselves or others, and how they benefitted from thinking about this. They hope their discussion will inspire others to do the work, despite it being overwhelming or emotional. Jenni reminded us that a child-like curiosity can be helpful when trying to gain insight.    The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Jenni and Suze continue to learn more about psychological theory that helps us understand our thinking. They move into the 1970s with Transactional Analysis (TA), as it relates to Freud's theory of personality they recently discussed. TA has more user-friendly terms that help people understand what goes on inside them, as well as what happens when they interact with other people. The way we talk to each other can illicit reactions in each other, often resulting in reactions instead of thoughtful actions. But we can be more objective and feel more aware and in control of our thoughts, which influence what our emotions are and how intense they are. Suze and Jenni agree to practice the new Maxer Method to help integrate the knowledge into their everyday lives.    The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Now that we understand what Freud taught us about the Id, Ego, and Superego, how do we use this information? Suze shared numerous observations from her practicing the Maxer Method, including a surprising unconscious little thing she has been doing that she can't unsee now. She describes being more aware of her Id than any other voice, which made her question if she has a conscience if she isn't hearing her Superego. Jenni realized how loud her Id and Superego were, noting that they could be like knuckles rubbing against each other. She repaired damage from interacting with someone when she was in her Id, which in the long run, made the relationship better. How did you do? What did you learn from the Maxer Method? Keep trying!

Conscious change always starts by observing. Listen to Jenni and Suze share a simple framework for observing our thoughts. Suze presents the framework created by Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychology. And Jenni brings in how the coaching profession incorporates Freud's concepts to help people observe their thinking to uncover limiting beliefs that cause them to feel stuck. The framework works! Examples were given to help everyone understand the concepts. And Jenni and Suze suggest a new Maxer Method. It's a simple thing you can do to get insight into your thinking.    The Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

  Suze and Jenni both admit that they hate journaling. Listen as they share why they hate it, did it anyway, and what they got out of it! Journaling was the Maxer Method for this episode. A “Maxer Method” is an activity that Suze and Jenni suggest for themselves and listeners to try so that they can get personal insights about life's events.  Is it worth it for you to do these Maxer Methods that they suggest? Listen to Suze describe her concerns about doing this right and how it turned out for her.

With Season 2 behind them, Jenni and Suze delve into thoughts, why they matter, and how they affect our lives. They look into the varied definitions of the word ‘thought.' Jenni added a lot of nuances to the definition as she discussed coaching concepts related to thoughts. Finally, they work together to create the Insight Maximizer definition of thought. To be more aware or conscious of thoughts, Suze and Jenni look at the JoHari window to understand consciousness to prepare for the thought journaling Maxer Method.   Maxers Community Facebook group continues to grow!

Suze and Jenni practiced the Maxer Method by completing the Distraction Action Assessment, which can be retrieved at www.insightmaximizers.com. Neither was too surprised by the information they learned, yet they could see that working on themselves has paid off over time. They realized they didn't use some of the distraction actions they used to use. It can be confusing what to do with some of the information from the assessment because we can't stop some or many of the distraction actions discussed. What can we do when we want to do something else instead of a distraction action? Jenni and Suze work through that! Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon.

In this episode, Suze and Jenni talk about a potentially unhealthy coping strategy that they call “distraction actions.” Jenni educated us on how we can use distraction actions as a means to avoid feeling emotions, including how they can become habitual and even addictive. To help us change our distraction actions, they provide an assessment with insight and action-oriented questions for the Maxer Method. You can retrieve the handout at www.insightmaximizers.com. Just look at the top of the page for the handout tab. Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Texas and in Oregon.

Suze and Jenni agreed that working on coping strategies and distractions simultaneously was a bit cumbersome. They focused only on coping strategies for this Maxer Method, and both had experiences to discuss. Suze struggled a bit with being honest about an unhelpful coping strategy, and Jenni could relate to what she discussed. Both realized they have a habit of eating mindlessly and noticed how common this is. They discussed what they could do differently to cope with emotions instead of eating.  Suze Gadol Anderson lives in Eugene, Oregon.
