This week we are discussing a cocktail of topics — including gratitude in relationships, understanding vs judgment, and providing value. Relationships can end anytime, so choosing and appreciating your partner daily is important. Do you think the idea of soulmates diminishes the value of relationships by implying destiny instead of conscious choice? Relationships require effort and finding new ways to love as individuals evolve. A conversation Lana has with her grandmother highlights the importance of empathy and understanding over judgment.Everyone is a student of life, and should constantly be seeking improvement. Asking those in our lives how we can be better for them fosters open communication and nurtures valuable relationships. When was the last time you asked those closest to you how you can be better for them?

This week we are discussing quality over quantity, the benefits of therapy, the importance of being aware of our own needs & feelings, and how to be kind to ourselves. Don't just try to do more things, but focus on doing the things that are most important to you and that will make you feel good. Therapy can help you learn coping mechanisms and strategies for managing your mental health, but it's not a cure-all. You'll need to continue to practice these skills and make lifestyle changes in order to maintain your mental health. Taking a step back to try and see the world from others' perspectives will help you to be more empathetic and understanding of others, which can improve your relationships and overall well-being. What do you do for fun? What makes you feel good? How easy is it for you to resist self-shame and instead forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes? Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health. By taking care of your mental health, you can improve your overall well-being and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

People who are well-informed but lack self-awareness may overestimate or underestimate their abilities. This is because they may not be able to accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses. Self-awareness is the ability to understand and recognize one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires. It is crucial to have self-awareness in order to make accurate assessments of one's abilities. Intellectual humility is a mindset that governs our intellectual behavior and entails acknowledging and accepting our intellectual limitations. It is important to have intellectual humility in order to learn and grow. We can better comprehend our knowledge and abilities by reflecting on our experiences and abilities and seeking feedback from others.Thank you for listening! ❤Podcast Instagram: instagram.com/whiskeyandlemonpodcastPodcast Website: whiskeyandlemon.comLana's Instagram: instagram.com/heylanamercedezLana's Website: lanamercedez.comResources:https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439760.2021.1975155https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29966822/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3835346/

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their knowledge or ability. It is most common in people with low ability, who mistakenly believe that they are wiser and more capable than they really are. This can lead to problems such as poor decision-making, failure to learn from mistakes, and conflict with others. It is crucial to be aware of this bias so that we can avoid its negative consequences.Here are some specific examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect:A student fails a test but believes they got a good grade because they "knew all the answers."A person makes a lot of mistakes at work but believes they are doing a great job.A politician makes promises that they cannot keep but believes that they are the best person to lead the country.The Dunning-Kruger effect can be overcome by being open to feedback, learning from mistakes, and being willing to admit when we don't know something. It is also imperative to be critical of our own beliefs and to be open to the possibility that we might be wrong.Thank you for listening! ❤Podcast Instagram: instagram.com/whiskeyandlemonpodcastPodcast Website: whiskeyandlemon.comLana's Instagram: instagram.com/heylanamercedezLana's Website: lanamercedez.comResources:2021 Study

Lana breaks down the classifications of friendship, the meaning behind each, and the vast benefits understanding them provides us. We review Aristotle's categories of friendship and how each term is defined. Lana discusses the stages of friendship, what we look for in friends based on our life points. We see how the evolution of friendships has significantly changed in modern times, with social media playing a major role. Lana explains the major differences in the 3 classifications of friend groups, the clear boundary that separates them, and implementing this practice keeps us from being spread thin. In addition, Lana covers how having these classifications help us to properly divvy up our time and effort and keeps us protected. If you find yourself having trouble with placing friends in the correct category and always being let down, also exerting way more effort than that one friend, how do you address it? What key things can we look for in a friendship? What is the difference between being a confidant and a “yes” friend?

Lana breaks down the shift we need in our minds from wanting everything to be perfect to being grateful for what we actually have.Wake up grateful and excited to live each day.Tell those that support you how grateful you are.Acknowledge your own accomplishments and be grateful to yourself.Be grateful for where you are and what you have in life.How often do you show appreciation? We tend to be so busy throughout the day that we take so much for granted. Are you thanking those that hold the door open for you? Did you thank the cashier when you went grocery shopping? Did you thank your server at the last restaurant you ate at?Not only is appreciation, appreciated... it is also admired. I don't know about you, but I notice when I'm in the company of someone that expresses gratitude to those that help them, versus someone who seems to just accept service as if it is owed to them. Always remember, gratitude goes a very long way.Podcast Instagram: instagram.com/whiskeyandlemonpodcastPodcast Website: whiskeyandlemon.comLana's Instagram: instagram.com/heylanamercedezLana's Website: lanamercedez.comResources:www.entrepreneur.com/article/238991
