Here’s episode 16 of Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living. You can find all our sources and more information at turningtowards.life (http://turningtowards.life/) In this episode, Lizzie and Justin talk about 'The Right Time to Hope', a piece written by Justin for his blog (http://justinwise.co.uk) and reproduced below. Along the way we talk about the importance of playful experimentation in finding a wider space to stand in, about the problems with 'self-improvement' and the comparison and self-criticism it evokes, and about what it is, like a swan entering the water, to find a way of being in the world that expresses ourselves in our fullness.

You can find all our sources and more information at turningtowards.life (http://turningtowards.life/) In this episode Lizzie and Justin talk about being afraid – how it paralyses us and turns us away from ourselves and others, and what comes from owning up to being scared and knowing others as afraid also.

How could a couples' massage possibly leave you cranky...?  What do couples’ massages and unfulfilled expectations have in common? Probably not what you think! This week, and Jodi and Eliot talk about how a clear process can be just as important as a clear promise.   Why is that important for business? Sometimes, no matter how good the product or service is, disappointment can still overshadow the experience when expectations aren’t met. Often, this is an issue of operations knowing what marketing is doing. And sometimes it isn’t a communications issue, it is a clarity issue.  It can be even more of a challenge to get in front of expectations that you don’t even know to expect. What is clear is that there is something refreshing about setting authentic expectations – you don’t need to fluff up your promises like Ginsu knives for the promise to be compelling. If you know where people might be extra hopeful, or scared, or not know, then you can think about how you can address that before it happens. So often we are so focused on the problem that we have a solution for, that we don’t think about the thoughts and expectations that go through a client’s mind during the process. Sometimes, those fear are even more pronounced than the problem that brought them to you. Figuring out the process is one thing. The next level is to make sure it becomes part of the culture and operations of your company. It is so important to look under that rock of mismatched expectations. What about you?

Culture is not just an HR "thing", it is a business thing. Culture is the collective mindset and attitude of your staff​,​ ​so ​it impacts​ customer service, retention, and profits. Brands can impact the collective attitude or culture by improving the employee experience​,​ which is based around key considerations such as Values, Selection, Orientation, Recognition, Communication​,​ and Leadership. This week on #WorkTrends host Meghan M. Biro was joined by special guest Shane Green. They discussed culture, customer experience and the impact both have on the employee experience. Here are a few key points Shane shared: The way your employees act defines your brand online A leader must spend time to build culture where people feel a connection by showing care The greatest enemy to tomorrow’s success is your past success Great tip: Looking at behavioral skills rather than experience when hiring Did you miss the show?

Alright, so if we really wanted to be accurate than using a Globe Eggplant emoji as a metaphor for male genitalia is probably not the most appropriate shape. Now, if you used a Japanese Eggplant emoji, which is longer and uniformly thinner,  then you would be on the right track. And, if you are already confused, and don’t know what a globe eggplant is. Well, it’s large, dark purple, and has a bulbous end to it. Photo Credit: USDAgov via Compfight cc  There are a few caveats  to the eggplant’s new role as an anatomy substitute that I should lay out. First, this is primarily a North American, I-Phone user phenomenon. The tech giant, Apple, uses a different set of emojis compared to Android phones.  And, it just so happens that Apple’s eggplant is better suited as a penis replacement compared to the Android eggplant.  Also, the reason this is mainly a North American phenomenon is for the same reason why I wanted to talk about the eggplant in the first place, because for the most part, we don’t eat it.  The fact that we in North America don’t have a cultural connection to the plant has allowed some of us to create our own meaning uninhibited from past experiences.  For example, we could use the Corn on the Cob emoji; however, most of us have actually ate corn on the cob. Chomping down into the cooked kernels and getting little bits of corn stuck between our teeth. That experience could possibly put a damper on the metaphor. I don’t know about you, but every time I eat corn on the cob I’m not necessarily thinking of a sexual act, and if I am then it is definitely a painful one. It’s good to note that none of this is new.  From the use of the banana in sex-ed as a training tool  to imagery found in medieval paintings we have created a tradition of using food as a means to describe sexual behaviour.  In 1518, a painter by the name of Giovanni da Udine painted garlands of fruits and flowers. In one of his paintings he painted a squash, with eggplant for testicles, penetrating a fig. Giovanni da Udine, detail of border surrounding Raphael’s Cupid and Psyche, Villa Farnesina, Rome. Nicole Dacos and Caterina Furlan, Giovanni de Udine, 1487–1561, Udine [Italy]: Casamassima, 1987, Vol. 1, p. 26 In Mesopotamia they used the same words to describe the abundance of a garden as they would to indicate sexual attractiveness.  There is a love poem from ancient Sumerian Literature, which describes the subject as an apple tree with fruit on the top vigorously sprouting and then watering some lettuce and watering some more. There’s definitely a lot of watering occurring.        Vigorously he sprouted, vigorously he sprouted and sprouted watered it --it being lettuce! In his shaded grove of the desert bearing much yield did my darling of his mother, my barley stalk full of allure in its furrow, water it -- it being lettuce, did my one -- a very apple tree bearing fruit at the top -- water it -- it being a garden!  The reason behind our sexualization of food is censorship. Whether it be a thousand years ago or today, in certain public forums we have just never been able to freely discuss and communicate sex, and so we must improvise. If there was actually a penis emoji then we wouldn’t have to use the eggplant and I could write an article on nightshades instead. Fruits and vegetables also just make sense. They are the produce that nourishes and feeds a desire--hunger. They also hold the seeds for future reproduction. In a sense, we are mimicking human biology into plant biology. Which brings me back to the Durex Condom and my naivete. Turns out, Durex also believes that an eggplant flavoured condom would not be so tasty. The condom is in fact not real, but a clever marketing attempt to get the Unicode Consortium to create a safe sex emoji.  Although I understand that painters who lived 500 years ago would need to be creative with their fruits and veggies, I don’t understand in this day and age why we need to cont...

Since the presidential election keeps setting record levels of crazy, there is a lot to talk about in the episode. We do our best to cover it all-- from the Democratic primary in South Carolina to the train wreck GOP debate to Chris Christie's more trainwreck-esque endorsement to expectations going into Super Tuesday. We also revoke the benefit of the doubt we previously gave to Rick Snyder, and we discuss the tragic shootings in Kansas and Michigan. In a segment we called "WTF MSNBC," we ask WHAT is up with Rick Tyler's hiring and Melissa Harris Perry's departure. In the Suit, we discuss the populism, frustration, and authoritarian forces in this race. We try to regain some nuance about the Sanders and Trump movements.

Understanding your personal finances is crucial if you want to achieve financial independence and gain more freedom in your life. Most people don't learn anything useful about personal finances growing up and are not taught about it in school (I certainly wasn't). It took me a long time to work out what I really need to know about my personal finances. I hope that by sharing what I've learned, I can help you acquire financial literacy faster than I did. This podcast episode covers the three most important things that you need to get in place immediately: Tracking and categorising of all your expenditure and income Calculating and tracking your net worth Using a budget to stay on track with your financial goals In the episode I provide an overview of these three topics and explain how you can use personal finance software to help automate the process of tracking them.  As always, you are responsible for your money and you will need to do your own research.

There is an old zen proverb that says: A martial arts student approached his teacher with a question. "I'd like to improve my knowledge of the martial arts. In addition to learning from you, I'd like to study with another teacher in order to learn another style. What do you think of this idea?" "The hunter who chases two rabbits," answered the master, "catches neither one." This is an apt proverb and one that reminds me of something I tend to do as I get into a subject or hobby or path of learning... I learn myself into oblivion. There are always many different approaches and schools of thought within the field of any discipline that you want to learn. You find a range of experts, a vast array of opinions, and a huge number of contradictory books on how and why you should do things a certain way. You have probably noticed this. The more you learn about something the more confused you get. But in the confusion and the realisation that most of us are making things up as we go along we come to a simple truth: we just need to say yes and commit to something. You can't do everything but you can do something, and if you try to do everything you will end up doing nothing. If we don't allow ourselves to commit to focussing on specific areas then we will be constantly running around trying to catch two rabbits at the same time, and inevitably catching neither. When I'm not committed to one pursuit at a time then everything I do seems to have an unproductive luke-warmness. I bounce myself around like a pinball between projects. This is highly frustrating because it often prevents the hard work breakthroughs from happening. Commitment and Seasons But how do we commit? That's what I wanted to explore in this episode by considering 5 key principles that can help us embrace the seasonal nature of life, so we can become more focussed and thus effective in our work, lives, and creativity. 1. Find the Choice 2. Find the Lesson 3. Find Perfection in Imperfection 4. Find the Finish Line 5. Find the Why   Photo Credit woodleywonderworks via Compfight [wp_ad_camp_3]

Movement and creativity are close allies. When you're feeling uninspired or stuck, what do you do?  In this week's episode of the podcast I talk about why motion is key to loosening up our creative process, broadening perspective, and bringing life to our living. In an article called ‘When You're Feeling Uninspired', Jeff Goins talks about the difference between being blocked and being empty. He says: Depending on what's going on today, there may be two reasons for your feeling uninspired: One may be a real case of what Steven Pressfield calls the Resistance — your own laziness, outside distractions, or some other negative force keeping you from making a difference. If that's the case, then you only have one choice: show up, do the work. However, if you're feeling empty, be careful. You could waste hours sitting in front of a computer screen or with a guitar on your lap. If this is the case, you may need to step away and go do something that fills you up — play with your kids, listen to music, go for a run. I have a home recording studio set up in our small second bedroom. I record every podcast in there... except for this one. No, episode 93 was recorded in the kitchen, and is in fact broadly based around the very fact that it was recorded in the kitchen. Because moving from where you do what you do can open up possibilities and expand your ability to invite fresh ideas and creativity. Prioritise Movement Whether you are blocked or empty, move. Go to a different room. Sit on a different chair at a different table. STAND at your desk. Move some furniture about. Leave the building, go somewhere else entirely.  I often get inspired when I'm exercising in some way. Whether I'm in the swimming pool, at the gym, or out for a walk. I generate a lot of my ideas in these places. The actual process of moving and engaging in physical motion can have such a profound affect on the brain. It might be the last thing you want to do when you're feeling stuck or empty. But it can be an absolute game changer.

It turns out that it's pretty easy to destroy good work.  All you have to do is...well, nothing really. You just leave it. Stop. Let nature take its course. About 6 months I wrote a blog post. I was taking my running more seriously, working towards a goal I wanted to acheive...running a half marathon. I had embarked on a program, building up the distance I was capable of running, adding half a mile each week. I would get out and run 2 or 3 times at each distance and then add another half mile. It was great, and I was building good momentum. I got from zero to four and a half miles. But then distractions happened. 'Life took over' and I need to be honest with you... I drifted away. I stopped. I found excuses to passively destroy the fruits of my effort. Well it's now about 4 months since I last ran as a part of that program...I just got back from the gym and I could only manage one mile. It was a push. That single mile hurt like hell. All that good, sweaty, hard work had been torn down by inaction. How do you want to be remembered? We've been looking at this idea of living with 'intent' and exploring the question, ‘how do you want to be remembered?' in the Members Haven over the past couple of weeks. It is a part of the initial setup for my e-course A Little Bit Every Day as I encourage people to think about their priorities, what drives them deep down, and what gets them up in the morning. The way we answer these questions are all linked in with the concept I talked about in that original blog post...is what you are doing worth it when you look at your big picture? In this episode I explore how we can find contentment in the struggles of life by asking one question of everything we do... Is it worth it? Announcements 1. Introverts Unite Michaela Chung, the author of IntrovertSpring.com is over in the UK next week and I'm working with her to present the very first UK Introvert's Unite Conference on Saturday 27th September at the Shakespeare Hotel in Bedford. I'll be speaking on 'The Gentle Rebel's Guide to Quiet Influence'. Michaela will be speaking on tapping into the power of introversion, and there will be a mastermind session to discuss solutions to the biggest problems we face as introverts and how we can spread the word about what introversion is and the benefits for all of society when we embrace and enjoy its gifts.  It promises to be a fantastic event, hopefully the first of many - come and be a part of making it happen. Reserve your spot now. 2. A Little Bit Every Day And secondly, my e-course, A Little Bit Every Day will be going up in price at the end of this week from its introductory offer. Go and grab it before the 21st September. Don't miss out on the 3 months free access to the Members Haven, 2 part introvert interview series, and free support throughout the duration of the course.

This podcast episode presents a range of techniques to support your creative thinking.  Some of the techniques covered are outlined below: The focussed journalling technique called extraordinary time is great for thinking creatively about challenges in life.  Another productive method of focussed journalling is the use of regular creative review questions for supporting ongoing creative thinking.  The practice of noting and reviewing someday/maybe projects nurtures your dreams and helps you turn them into plans. Affirmations help you to be the best version of yourself by reminding yourself of what you have committed to do and who you are committed to be. Various other techniques are presented in the podcast, many of which come from the creative review part of the weekly review in GTD (Getting Things Done).  Show Notes Episode on Mental Decluttering Episode on How To Stay On Top With A Weekly Review Episode on Extraordinary Time Other Previous Episodes on productivity Getting Things Done by David Allen Photo Credit: mortimer? via Compfight cc

This episode is about a technique for staying on top of all your commitments known as the weekly review. It helps you get a handle on all your commitments, decide what you want and don't want to do with your time and maintain all aspects of your life in working order. The idea for this technique comes from the Getting Things Done approach to personal productivity, but you can adapt it to your own purposes even if you don't practice GTD. Topics covered in the episode include: The three parts to a weekly review: a clear review (discussed in the episode mental decluttering), a current review (this episode) and a creative review (future episode). The value of identifying areas of responsibility in your life and reviewing them each week How to get an overview of all live projects, including urgency and importance The review of each live project and the importance of identifying next actions. The use of agendas and waiting lists for all the people in your life The Calendar review and weekly plan of tasks and decisions Show Notes: Episode on Mental Decluttering Other Previous Episodes on productivity Getting Things Done by David Allen Photo Credit: Thomas Frost Jensen via Compfight cc

Part three in a series on developing your own independent moral compass. Here is a summary of the ideas covered: Moral behaviour evolved as an evolutionary adaptation to gain the advantages of the division of labour that come from peaceful cooperation. The act of peaceful communication logically contains and implies the criteria for moral rules. There are four rules for avoiding conflict over scarce resources that are valid according to the criteria of universality, logical coherence and non-contradiction by behaviour. The rules are inherent in the nature of peaceful communication and can't be argued against without self-contradiction. Rule 1: Each individual has exclusive control of his or her own physical body. Rule 2:  The exclusive control of a previously unowned scarce resource belongs to the first person to "homestead" the resource. Rule 3:  The exclusive control of a newly produced scarce object belongs to the person to created the object (as long as they owned the component resources that they made it from). Rule 4:  Justly acquired control over scarce resources can be given away or traded by voluntary agreement. These four rules together comprise the non-aggression principle. Protecting yourself from straightforward aggression is a practical matter. Protecting yourself from aggression that is disguised with bogus moral justifications is more complex: you need your own moral compass to avoid confusion. The purpose of this series has been to outline the principles necessary to reconstruct valid moral rules for yourself, so that you are not duped by bogus moral justifications.

This week we interview Praying Medic, author of Divine Healing Made Simple for our second of two episodes.  This week I ask our guest his opinion of when different healing evangelists have been arrested for "practicing medicine without a license". What exactly does that mean, and are we inadvertently doing that ourselves when we minister divine healing to the sick or hurting? Should Christians give anybody medical advice? If a person who believes in divine healing or faith healing takes medication, is that a lack of faith and not "practicing what they preach" or is it a matter of being responsible? Is there truly a relationship between our unforgiveness and not being healed? These are the things we discuss this week while concluding our two-part discussion.
