Podcasts about Aversion

Something To Think About Series #306 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Goal Avoidance - How to Overcome the Aversion to Goal Setting. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." For many of us, the word “goal” has all kinds of negative associations. It can remind us of past failures, our short-comings, and our challenge with short and long-term planning. Because of how our hyper-creative brain works, our dopamine receptors, and challenges with executive functioning, we often have an initial burst of inspiration... But that initial energy tends to wane and we're left with a list of flat and possibly overwhelming goals that we never look at again. However, knowing how to work with goals is essential to making forward progress in your life. In this episode we explore a very simple trick that will completely change how you think about goals and we'll leave you with a clear exercise to make goal setting far more ADHD-friendly.  Links Mentioned in this Episode: (WORKSHOP) Annual Life Visioning Workshop - Jan 24 & 31 (WEBSITE) Mike Starkey - ADHD & Addiction (SOCIAL MEDIA) @adultadhdtips one Instagram (SOCIAL MEDIA) @adhdneurodivergent on BlueSky (PDF) Our Free ADHD Toolkit - All Worksheets from Previous Podcast Episodes Don't see a player?

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We start with settling for about 8 minutes followed by about the same time with basic mindfulness practice. Then we explore "moderate" experiences of pleasant or unpleasant when they occur, whether a bodily experience, an emotion, or a thought (or a mix), experiencing pleasant or unpleasant and seeing whether there follows wanting (or not wanting) and reactivity (habitual grasping or pushing away). We close with some reflection on what we explored, with an emphasis on skillful aversion: Was some of the not wanting skillful? Unskillful? What do we find in some daily life examples of aversion? This exploration is related to the talk given a short time later.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We continue with the exploration opened up last week in our examination of "skillful desire," starting again with the common misunderstanding of the Buddha's teachings as suggesting giving up all wanting of the pleasant and all not wanting of the unpleasant. There are, to be sure, some passages in the teachings which seem to suggest this approach; here is one example, from the Sallatha Sutta about the results of practice: “Desirable things don't charm the mind, undesirable ones bring no resistance." In the talk, we first review the nature of skillful desire and the distinction between skillful and unskillful desire. A starting reference point is the understanding of the sequence from contact to grasping in the teaching on Dependent Origination and. We look again at the Buddha's teachings on chanda or "skillful desire" and the importance of experiences of pleasure, joy, and happiness in different practice contexts. We then look in a similar way at skillful aversion, asking about the distinction between skillful and unskillful aversion, and pointing especially to the importance of inquiry into the experience of aversion; we look with some detail into the experience of anger. Finally, we connect our explorations with the experience of darkness and light at the time of the Winter Solstice, four days from now.

Hugo Clément, journaliste engagé et militant pour la cause animale, partage ici un moment fort d'un échange passé, qui résonne encore très justement aujourd'hui.Dans cet extrait, nous discutons de la réduction de la consommation de viande, de ses motifs profonds – santé, climat, souffrance animale – et surtout de la prise de conscience progressive dans nos sociétés.J'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi, malgré des preuves scientifiques accablantes, il est encore si difficile de changer nos habitudes alimentaires. Hugo, avec sa clarté habituelle, insiste : l'argument de la santé ne devrait pas masquer les véritables enjeux éthiques et environnementaux. Il rappelle que la réalité de l'élevage intensif en France est bien éloignée de l'image rassurante de la ferme d'antan.Un extrait percutant, qui met en lumière la dimension psychologique, culturelle et systémique de notre alimentation carnée.5 Citations Marquantes"On peut être végétarien ou vegan et en très bonne santé – c'est scientifiquement établi.""Je ne veux pas utiliser l'argument santé, parce qu'on peut être en bonne santé en mangeant un peu de viande.""L'élevage intensif ne profite à personne, pas même aux éleveurs.""On a tous une aversion à la perte – arrêter la viande, c'est renoncer à une habitude.""La clé de tout, c'est l'information : sur l'élevage, la santé, l'économie." 10 Questions Structurées Posées dans l'InterviewEst-ce que l'argument de la santé est aujourd'hui plus puissant que celui de l'écologie ou du bien-être animal ?Pourquoi n'utilises-tu pas l'argument de la santé humaine ?Est-ce que le régime végétarien est toujours synonyme de bonne santé ?Pourquoi ne pas recommander d'arrêter totalement la viande pour des raisons de santé ?Peut-on quand même utiliser l'argument santé pour inciter à la réduction ?Quel est le rôle de l'information dans la transition alimentaire ?Quelle est la réalité de l'élevage intensif aujourd'hui en France ?Pourquoi l'élevage intensif ne profite-t-il même pas aux éleveurs ?Comment expliquer la résistance culturelle à arrêter la viande ?Quels sont les mécanismes psychologiques qui freinent la transition alimentaire ?Timestamps Clés 00:00 – Grégory introduit le débat sur les motivations de la réduction de la viande00:36 – Hugo refuse l'argument santé comme motivation principale01:30 – Le risque de dogmatisme sur les régimes sans viande02:23 – Consommation excessive de viande et consensus scientifique03:14 – Hugo évoque ses propres motivations : éthique et écologie04:57 – L'hypocrisie sociale face à la souffrance animale05:20 – Aversion à la perte et frein au changement06:49 – Le rôle clé de l'information pour éveiller les consciences07:33 – La réalité de l'élevage intensif : chiffres et conditions09:03 – L'élevage intensif ne profite même pas aux éleveurs Suggestion d'épisode à écouter : #174 Dépasser l'idéologie végétarienne pour mieux comprendre notre alimentation avec Hugo Clément (https://audmns.com/NETMFVi)Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Die neue Podcast-Reihe «Thunerts Thema» legt los und startet direkt mit einem großen Namen: Denn in der ersten Folge begrüßt Quotenmeter-Redakteur und Moderator Mario Thunert den TV-Kenner, aber auch TV-Star Oliver Kalkofe. Er ist seit den 90er-Jahren auf den Mattscheiben der heimischen Wohnzimmer zuhause, kennt aber auch die staubigen Ecken hinter der Fassade. Zu Gast ist Kalkofe nämlich nicht wegen seiner Bekanntheit per se, sondern weil er sich ebenfalls über Jahrzehnte tiefgreifend mit dem Medium Fernsehen theoretisch befasst hat – ein Wissen, das er kürzlich in sein neues Buch „Nie war früher schöner als jetzt“ gegossen hat. Damit verkörpert er eine bemerkenswerte Ambiguität, die im deutschen TV nur ganz Wenige aufweisen: In der Branche als Protagonist aufzugehen und trotzdem immer wieder die Distanz zu ihr aufzubauen. Genau dieses Ringen zwischen Hinwendung und Kopfschütteln, zwischen Anziehung und Aversion kommt in vielen Momenten der Podcast-Folge durch. Beispielsweise dann, wenn Kalkofe über die pädagogisch belehrende Trockenheit früherer Dekaden spricht, die dennoch legendäre Kult-Sendungen und Showmaster hervorgebracht hat. Aber auch in Passagen, in denen das Gespräch auf die aktuelle Innovationsarmut kommt, welche die Showlandschaft trotz seltener Lichtblicke durchzieht.

Mike Erre joins Phil and Skye to discuss a New York Times column by David Brooks. He says America's divisions will only heal when we abandon shallow labels and war metaphors, and instead see one another as fellow pilgrims on a journey. America's Catholic bishops issue a stern rebuke of the Trump administration's dehumanizing rhetoric and policies, which makes Phil wonder why evangelical leaders can't do the same. Then, Skye talks to Kentucky's Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, about why he's so popular in a state that Donald Trump won by 30 points, and how his party can begin to narrow the "God gap" with voters. Also this week—an A.I. vacuum cleaner has an existential crisis.

REF: SM1726

Wisdom is about making choices in the present to actualize a superior future, but does not erase the problems of presently compounded follies • A heart imbued with the fear of God enables the sharpening of moral intuition towards Divine Enlightenment through philosophical inquiry • Aversion to adapting oneself underlies a lack of drive to investigate wisdom

Welcome to hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD Brain. And today I'm joined by Sky Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper, although today we're going to be looking at two and so it's a little something different. What we do is we try to see how the papers were conducted, try to find any practical takeaways and discuss what's going on in these papers. So the two papers we're gonna discuss today are Boredom, Proneness, and its correlation with internet addiction and internet activities and adolescence with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And our second paper then is boredom, proneness and Inattention in Children With and Without ADHD, the mediating rule of delay aversion. So lots in there, lots to discuss. And we'll get all into that. And as this is a new series, I do wanna make sure that people know that. I would love to hear what your thoughts about it. Feel free to go to hackingyouradhd.com/contact and leave me a note about what you think about this series. I'd love to hear about this and I've really appreciated all the feedback I've already gotten for this series. So I'd love to hear more and make sure that I'm doing this in ways that you guys really like. Now, new episodes of Research Recap will be coming out every other Friday. And with that, let's get into this.

Admiral James Stavridis is a 4-Star Navy Admiral who served as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Following his military career, he served as Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Currently he serves as Partner and Vice Chairman of The Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity firms. He also serves as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation. In this episode we discuss the following: To be a great leader, you have to be in shape. Leaders need energy and health, and sleep is a weapon. If you're not rested, you're not ready for battle. Admiral Stavridis was Captain of a destroyer that failed inspection, it was his peers that had his back and saved him that day. Invest in our peer relationships because they will be honest with us and be unafraid to reach out. Great leaders are great readers. To be a reader is to lead a thousand lives. Every book is a simulator, whether we're learning resilience from The Old Man and the Sea or leadership from the Godfather. Since conducting this interview, I have been reading The Admiral's Bookshelf, and I love learning the lessons he learned from his top 25 books. And because of this conversation I created my own bookshelf of the 25 books that have most influenced me. I've pasted these in the show notes and on my website.   The Admiral's final lesson is timeless. Be humble.  And inspired by The Admiral's Bookshelf, I created my own bookshelf. Nate Meikle's Bookshelf The Book of Mormon & Bible Taught me about Jesus Christ, love, repentance, forgiveness, and endurance Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Reminds me to avoid the superficial Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom Motivated me to become a professor Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki The first book to get me excited about personal finance, one of the most important, underappreciated topics IMO. A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt Motivates me to be honest in all things How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie Improved my communication skills dramatically Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy Warns me of the dangers of infidelity Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Motivates me to live a life of integrity My Personal Best by John Wooden Taught me about servant leadership and to treat friendship like a fine art The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb Made me realize the importance of long tail events Jim Trelease Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease Motivated me to teach my daughter to read at age 2, read tens of thousands of books to her (and our subsequent 3 children), and ultimately write my own book (Little Miss) about how to inspire children to love reading Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath Taught me the importance of storytelling and how to tell great stories The Wise Heart by Jack Kornfield Taught me about Buddhism, and the three causes of human suffering (Grasping, Aversion, Delusion) A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine Taught me about Stoic Philosophy and the value of negative visualization and wanting the things we have The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt Taught me to not coddle my children and the dangers of cognitive distortions (and the value of cognitive behavioral therapy) The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweill (published in 2005) Made me realize that AI is likely the most important invention ever, and persuaded me that Artificial General Intelligence will arrive during my lifetime Poor Charlie's Almanack, by Charlie Munger The greatest collection of wisdom I've ever come across related to investing (specifically) and decision making (generally) Thinking In Bets by Annie Duke Taught me about the dangers of resulting / outcome bias (judging a decision by the outcome rather than the process) Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss Taught me the importance of seeing a negotiation from the other person's point of view, and constantly showing them that you understand their position (by labeling, mirroring, and using an accusations audit) Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson Taught me about elite ambition, determination, and focus Endurance by Alfred Lansing Taught me about unflinching leadership Good Energy by Casey Means Persuaded me to eliminate processed foods and exercise 5-6 days per week Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card Reminds me how capable children are Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan Inspires me to be courageous The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Reminds me to try to laugh every day, in every class, in every conversation

Together, let's explore the profound terrain of jhāna—a Pali term meaning “meditative absorption”—and how equanimity emerges as a central force in its deepest stages. These states of deep concentration are not just about peace or bliss, but about arriving at a radical stillness where distractions dissolve and the mind becomes clear, unwavering, and impartial. We delve into: ·       The progression through the jhānas, especially the third and fourth, where equanimity becomes dominant. ·       The distinction between physical and mental sensations, and how their transcendence reveals the purity of mindfulness. ·       The concept of the equanimity of purification, a mental quality that stills all opposition and polishes the mind to a bright, imperturbable clarity. ·       How mindfulness and equanimity work in tandem to support awakening—and how these factors were central in the Buddha's own path to enlightenment. Whether you're a longtime practitioner or just beginning your meditation journey, this episode offers both a practical and philosophical guide to understanding equanimity—not as detachment, but as luminous balance.    

Imagine a room full of bright minds agreeing as a new strategy is revealed. The slides are polished, the vision grand, and the future looks bright. Everyone smiles—nobody wants to question if it might not work, fearing to spoil the mood with reality.

Delve into the concept of equanimity as articulated by the ancient Buddhist scholar Buddhaghosa in his seminal work, the Visuddhimagga. Explore three distinct types of equanimity: equanimity as a feeling, equanimity about insight, and equanimity as specific neutrality. Through this exploration, Margaret discusses practical meditation techniques and mental exercises that cultivate a balanced and neutral approach to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Ultimately, the aim is to reduce suffering by steering clear of extreme emotional reactions. ·       Equanimity as a Feeling: Discover how to identify different feelings—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—and learn to adopt a stance of neutrality that allows you to experience these feelings without clinging to them or reacting with aversion. ·       Equanimity About Insight: Margaret shares the importance of practicing non-attachment to the insights gained during meditation. By utilizing mantras like "It might not be, and it might not be mine," practitioners can let go of the tendency to cling to experiences, fostering deeper insight and understanding. ·       Equanimity as Specific Neutrality: Explore how maintaining a balanced mental state helps prevent excessive partiality.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Talk Synopsis: Clearing the Poisons – Greed and Aversion This talk explores how the Buddha's teachings on dukkha and the three unwholesome roots—greed, aversion, and delusion—relate to the common mental obstacles that arise in meditation and daily life. Framed through the lens of the five hindrances, the talk looks closely at how these energies obscure attention and contribute to suffering. The talk includes a practical discussion of temperament—how some of us tend more toward craving, others toward irritation or confusion—and how understanding these patterns can support clarity and compassion. Rather than trying to get rid of these states, the emphasis is on recognizing and relating to them with awareness, in line with the Buddha's instruction to know dukkha and its causes. Grounded in the Four Noble Truths, the talk points toward a path of practice that works with what's difficult—not as a problem to fix, but as a doorway to insight and freedom.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews Sue Heilbronner, executive coach, speaker, and author of Never Ask for the Sale: Supercharge Your Business with the Power of Passionate Ambivalence. Sue explains why many professional services providers resist selling themselves and how to shift that mindset by embracing authenticity and confidence. She introduces the concept of passionate ambivalence—the ability to be genuinely excited about opportunities while remaining unattached to the outcome. This approach helps professionals appear more credible, command higher fees, and attract long-term clients. Sue also addresses common challenges such as imposter syndrome, over-eagerness, and desperation in sales. She emphasizes qualifying prospects, presenting yourself as the product, and building thought leadership through strong digital presence and meaningful contributions. With practical strategies for pricing, follow-up, and conference networking, Sue provides actionable insights for professionals looking to transform their approach to business development and rainmaking.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 14:22-36 - Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede Him to the other side of the sea, while He dismissed the crowds. After doing so, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When it was evening He was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, He came toward them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him in reply, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His Hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did Him homage, saying, “Truly, You are the Son of God.” After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought to Him all those who were sick and begged Him that they might touch only the tassel on His cloak, and as many as touched it were healed.

Erick Triplett interviews Erick and Erin Briggs about rattlesnake aversion training for pets, primarily dogs, but also other animals like goats and mini horses. They explain their method, which involves controlled exposure to muzzled live rattlesnakes, paired with a mild, targeted electronic stimulation to create a negative association for the animal, akin to touching a hot stove. The discussion also touches upon rattlesnake behavior, their natural habitats in Southern California, and the importance of repeated training sessions for effective long-term memory. The Briggs emphasize the humane treatment of both the snakes and the pets during the training process, while also educating owners on animal behavior and managing their own anxieties. Connect with Erick & Erin Briggs: https://socalrattlesnakeavoidancetraining.com/ Key Takeaways: Consider rattlesnake aversion training to help your dog recognize and avoid snakes in their environment. Be vigilant for rattlesnakes in diverse environments, including beaches and urban areas, especially following rains. When your dog is nervous, avoid comforting them directly to prevent reinforcing anxious behavior; instead, encourage calm. If seeking aversion training, thoroughly research trainers to ensure they use humane, multi-stage methods with live, unboxed snakes. Understand that aversion training is typically not a one-time event and often requires refreshers for two to three years for lasting effectiveness.
