Podcasts about Environment

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're not broken. You're just fighting against your environment—and it's a losing battle. In this episode, Elizabeth gets real about the truth we all feel but rarely talk about: Your willpower will never beat your environment. From overflowing mudrooms to cluttered kitchen counters, chaotic homes create chaotic minds—and chaotic minds make impulsive decisions. Sound familiar? This episode dives into: Why your space might be silently sabotaging your progress How clutter triggers stress, reactivity, and that "I need a break" urge The common household patterns that wear down your willpower And most importantly—6 simple things you can do to make your environment support your goals, not destroy them You don't need a Pinterest-worthy house. You need a space that lets you breathe. You'll hear real-life, messy, relatable examples—like: Why there are 77 shoes in the mudroom (with only 5 people in the house) The Ninja Creamy that hasn't moved in months How to stop "moving" things and start putting them away If you've ever thought, "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it"—this episode will hit home. HARD.

In this episode, I explain why your environment is the greatest indicator of your future. Every room you enter, every relationship you invest in, and every block of time on your calendar is sending you toward your potential or pulling you away from it. I break down how consistent behaviors—not grand gestures—shape culture, and why mastering your internal state is the foundation for mastering everything else. When you raise the standard of the environments you choose, you raise the standard of your life. To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.com

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I know I'm meant for more” and yet, you're stuck in the loop of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or playing small?In this episode, George rips the Band-Aid off one of the biggest lies entrepreneurs tell themselves: that our beliefs are facts. They're not. And if we don't rewrite them, they'll keep running the show. If you want to change your results, your business, your impact… It starts with one belief. And this episode gives you the blueprint to make that shift in less than 30 minutes.George guides you through a practical 4-part process to expose the limiting thoughts holding you back, embody a new empowering belief, and integrate it into your daily habits.This isn't about vision boards or empty affirmations, it's about real transformation through emotional intensity, consistent reps, and embodied practice.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why most of your beliefs would never hold up in a court of law (and why that's liberating)The exact 4-step framework: Think it → Feel it → Act it → Become itHow to identify a disempowering belief and calculate what it's really costing youWhy emotional intensity is the “missing ingredient” in affirmationsThe daily actions and rituals that lock in your identity shift Key Takeaways:✔️Beliefs aren't facts. They're just repeated thoughts with emotional charge. You can choose new ones.✔️Emotional intensity + repetition = transformation. Affirmations without feeling are just empty words.✔️Identify your current disempowering belief and ask: Is it true? What is it costing me?✔️Replace it with an empowering belief that aligns with the future you want, then act on it today.✔️Environment shapes identity. Record your new belief, speak it out loud, and surround yourself with reminders. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — Welcome to Reset in 20: Episode 3 intro + belief breakdown[03:36] — Foundational 4-part framework[07:40] — Quote from OG Mandino: Why action shapes thought[10:55] — Limiting beliefs: The invisible blocks we rarely name[14:12] — 4 reflection questions to dismantle false beliefs[17:30] — Emotional intensity & repetition: The real rewiring formula[19:18] — How to write and feel your new belief[22:50] — Embodying new beliefs in your actions, environment, and daily rhythmYour Challenge This Week:If this episode sparked something, DM your new belief to George on Instagram @itsgeorgebryant and he'll personally celebrate it with you.And if you're enjoying the Reset in 20 series, share this with one friend and commit to all 7 episodes together.Book Mentioned:The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino: for embedding beliefs through repetition and emotion. Join The Alliance: The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs building meaningful businesses through connection.Apply for 1:1 Coaching with George: Build a business aligned with your heart, not just your head.Check out upcoming live events and workshops at: https://mindofgeorge.com/retreat/

"In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention." — Pico Iyer How do you feel when you have nothing to do but enjoy your surroundings? Where nothing is urgent, and you can enjoy the moment you are in?  Never felt it? Maybe that's a problem you need to fix. Today's world makes us feel that everything must be done now, yet it doesn't. If you were to slow down, step back from time to time to think, you'd get a lot more important things done and eliminate much of what is unnecessary.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Slow down. There, I've said it.  If there were one distinguishing characteristic of those who control how they spend their time and when, it would be that they are slow.  Not in a negative way, more in an intentional way. They meet their deadlines, are never late for appointments and have clearly had time to read through the meeting preparation notes.  Even in one of the most stressful occupations, that of being a special forces soldier, they are trained to slow down. The US Navy SEALs have the expression “slow is smooth. Smooth is fast”, and I know from talking with former members of the UK Special Forces that a large part of their training is focused on slowing down and being deliberate with their actions. Of course, the problem here is that when you're faced with twelve urgent Teams messages, you have five missed calls from an important customer, and your next appointment is about to start, the last thing your instincts will tell you to do is to slow down.  Yet it is precisely in those situations that slowing down and being intentional about what you do next is what you do.  Slowing down calms your over-anxious mind, and when your mind is calm, you make better, more rational decisions.  And slowing down is what this week's question is all about. So, to kick us off, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Hanna. Hanna asks, Hi Carl, I work in a very busy Pharmaceutical company, and from the moment I step through the door at work, it feels like chaos. My phone never seems to stop ringing, and my Teams feed looks like it's alive. It's always moving! The day's a blur. What can I do to slow things down and regain some control? Hi Hanna. Thank you for your question.  One of the things I've learned is that we do have control over the speed of the day. I know often it feels like we don't, but we do.  The reason is that we always have choices, even when it often feels like we don't. You can choose to answer your phone or let it run to voicemail. You can choose to answer those urgent Teams messages immediately or not, and you can choose to go to the staff rest area and make yourself a nice cup of tea.  Unfortunately, it's natural for us to head straight into the storm of those phone calls and messages. And when we do that, we start conditioning ourselves to do it consistently.  Yet maybe the best thing you can do is pause, make that cup of tea, and strategically plan your approach.  This is often what I call the tactical retreat. Step back, pause, and look at what's currently on your plate and your most important tasks for the day.  However, you will only be able to do that if you can move from being a firefighter to becoming a fire prevention officer.  Firefighters charge straight into every issue with only one intention: putting the fire out. Fire prevention officers: pause, look at the bigger picture, and seek ways to prevent the fires from starting in the first place.  In all companies, you need both types of people. You're not going to prevent every crisis or urgent issue. Yet many can be prevented.  I gave one example in last week's episode.  If you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  If you don't have a process or a strategy for handling that situation, you will panic. Panicking slows you down because the act of panicking creates a lot of activity, yet nothing happens to deal with the messages.  The strategy I suggested was to use the first-in-first-out approach. Deal with the oldest first. This way, even if the last message you received is from your angry boss, at least you won't have to deal with eight angry customers as well.  And let's be honest, if you were to give yourself fifteen minutes to deal with these messages, nobody would be waiting more than fifteen minutes for your response.  There is one trick you can use every day that will help you slow things down. That is to protect the first thirty minutes of the day to get a handle on the day.  Hopefully, you won't have a crisis every day, but those first thirty minutes give you a chance to review your Teams messages, emails, and your plan for the day. You can also speak with your colleagues to see what's happening and deal with anything urgent that popped up at the start of the day.  More often than not, you won't need the full thirty minutes, but you have it protected, and on the days you don't need it, you can make yourself that lovely cup of tea.  Another trick is to give yourself a proper screen break between work sessions.  Now, this will depend on the kind of work you do. If you were a graphic designer, an accountant or a journalist, a lot of your work would be spent sitting in front of a computer screen.  If you were to stop after ninety minutes, get up, and walk somewhere for ten minutes without a screen, that screen break would give you time to stop and think. That thinking might be what element you can add or remove from the design you are creating, or where to place a particular paragraph in the article you are currently writing.  Getting away from your screen allows your brain to relax. It's when your brain is relaxed that you make better, more rational decisions.  Yet, when we are under deadline pressure, stepping away for ten minutes is often the last thing we feel we should do.  When you return, allow yourself 20 minutes to address any messages that may have come in while you were locked away doing focused work.  Sometimes I find it helpful to look at the messages before I take the ten-minute break. That way, I can think about the responses while I'm relaxed.  If you've found yourself reacting without thinking all the time, and from the moment you wake up, it feels like you're go-go-go, that may be a sign you need to retrain your brain to slow down.  The best way to do this is to set aside 30 to 45 minutes each morning. This time must be focused on you. Not your partner or kids. It's time dedicated to yourself.  You could write a journal or develop a slow, deliberate morning coffee ritual. Perhaps you could add some light stretching or go out for a morning walk.  As long as it's focused on you and the things you enjoy doing, you'll find that this morning routine helps to rewire your brain to slow down.  Now for an unusual one.  Avoid unnecessary conveniences.  Part of the Reason we all feel rushed today is the speed at which things can be done. We can order home-delivered food, have our laundry picked up and delivered clean and ironed, order our weekly supermarket shop online, and have it delivered straight to our door later that day or the next.  Convenient, yes. Good for us, no. I recently saw a video about why people in the UK began gaining weight alarmingly from around the late 1970s onwards.  Yes, there was a shift in our diet. In 1979, Marks and Spencer introduced their first ready meal. It was their famous chicken Kiev, and it sparked a revolution in how families cooked.  The M&S chicken Kiev was introduced at around the same time microwave ovens began taking off, and suddenly people were eating ready-made meals.  No more “real” cooking. Boiling vegetables, cooking meat, it was pre-packaged and additive-riddled food that could be cooked in less than ten minutes.  Then there were more and more convenient ways to travel. People stopped walking to the shops. People working in offices would walk the two metres to their car in the morning, drive to their office, park in the underground carpark, and walk the five metres to the lift (elevator) to arrive at their office, having walked no more than ten metres.  Then to spend the rest of the day sitting behind a desk.  All in the name of convenience.  Yet, this convenience is causing us to speed up.  Walking is one of the best ways for us to slow down. It's one reason why studies show owning a dog can reduce stress and improve health. Dogs need walking. For me, walking Louis is one of my favourite times of the day. I get to think without a screen, get some fresh air and relax.  And given that Louis will stop and investigate every tree and lamp post, it's a slow walk.  And the final tip is to plan your day before you finish the day.  In other words, give yourself ten to fifteen minutes before you close out the day to review your appointments for tomorrow, curate your task list for the day based on how much time you have between meetings, and allow for the unknowns—there are some.  Then pick your two must-do tasks, make sure they are highlighted and stop.  You cannot do everything in one day, but doing a little often moves things forward, and soon things you thought would take hours are almost complete.  Yet, in my experience, the most significant cause of our feeling that we have no control over our day or time is the way many people are chained to a screen.  The current statistics indicate that over 7 hours a day are spent in front of a screen (and that does not include TVs).  The problem here is that messages, emails, news alerts and much more are a constant stream. The more time you spend looking at your screen, the more anxiety you feel that you are falling behind with everything. When this happens, you are no longer in control; instead, your devices are controlling you.  Yet if you were to go out for a twenty-minute walk after lunch, or do your own grocery shopping each week, you would find yourself slowing down naturally.  Add that to perhaps reading a real book in the evening and spending 30 to 40 minutes in the morning doing yoga, meditation, or journaling. You'll find that much of the speed anxiety many of you feel will start to disappear.  As for walking into your workplace and getting caught up in the rush of things, take a deep breath, make sure you know what your two most important items of work for that day are, and between sessions of work, get up, move around, make yourself some tea or coffee and think about what one thing you need to do next.  I hope that helps, Hanna. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

As the UK grapples with cost of living pressures, geopolitical shocks and a shifting political landscape, the case for net zero remains strong - but the story around it seems to have stalled.How can policymakers, businesses and campaigners reconnect climate action with public priorities such as jobs, growth, energy security and household bills?In this episode host Jon Bernstein is joined by Benj Sykes, UK Country Manager at Ørsted, Polly Billington, Labour MP and founder of Climate 100, and Daisy Powell-Chandler, Head of Energy and Environment at Public First, to examine the state of the UK's net zero consensus and what's really driving public attitudes.Their discussion looks at why Westminster debate has become more polarised even as public concern about climate change remains high; whether the language of “net zero” helps or hinders; and how to tell a more compelling, place-based story about the energy transition - from local jobs and warmer homes to cleaner transport and revitalised town centres.The panel also explores how to balance upfront investment with cost of living pressures, the case for an energy social tariff, and why decarbonisation should be framed as a national security priority that reduces exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets and future energy price shocks.This New Statesman podcast episode is sponsored by Ørsted.SAVE £££ THIS CHRISTMAS:⭐️ Gift big ideas, bold politics, and proper journalism from just £2LISTEN AD-FREE:

What good is aesthetics in a time of ecological crisis? Toward a Premodern Posthumanism: Anarchic Ontologies of Earthly Life in Early Modern France (Northwestern UP, 2025) shows that philosophical aesthetics contains unheeded potentialities for challenging the ontological subjection of nature to the human subject. Drawing on deconstructive, ecological, and biopolitical thought, Chad Córdova uncovers in aesthetics something irreducible to humanist metaphysics: an account of how beings emerge and are interrelated, responsive, and even response-able without reason or why.This anarchic and atelic ontology, recovered from Kant, becomes the guiding thread for a new, premodern trajectory of posthumanism. Charting a path from Aristotle to Heidegger to today's plant-thinking, with new readings of Montaigne, Pascal, Diderot, Rousseau, and others along the way, this capacious study reveals the untimely relevance of pre-1800 practices of writing, science, and art. Enacting a multitemporal mode of reading, Córdova offers a defense and illustration of the importance of returning to early modern texts as a way to rethink nature, art, ethics, and politics in a time when these concepts are in flux and more contentious than ever. Author Chad Córdova is Assistant Professor in the Department of Romance Studies at Cornell University where he is also affiliated faculty in the Department of Environment and Sustainability. In addition to this new book, he is the author of many articles on figures and concepts that appear in this book, such as Montaigne, Kant, and Heidegger—most recently in Essais: Revue interdisciplinaire d'humanités and The Comparitist. Host Gina Stamm is Associate Professor of French at The University of Alabama. Their research is concentrated on the environmental humanities and speculative literatures of the 20th and 21st centuries, from surrealism to contemporary science fiction and feminist utopias, in Metropolitan France and the francophone Caribbean.

In this festive episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie and Laurie dig into a holiday-season debate that comes up year after year: Should you buy a real Christmas tree or an artificial one? The answer may surprise you and it definitely has more to do with nature, sustainability, and even family traditions than you might expect. Debbie and Laurie compare the environmental impacts, benefits, drawbacks, and unexpected trivia behind both types of trees (including the very unusual product that inspired the original artificial Christmas tree, yes, it's true!). You'll learn why artificial trees have a larger carbon footprint, how long you need to keep one to reduce its environmental impact, and why most of them eventually end up in landfills. Then the hosts explore the world of real Christmas trees, from where they're grown, to how long they take to reach your living room, to the important role they play in local ecosystems and rural economies. With more than 15,000 farms and millions of trees grown annually, real Christmas trees help stabilize soil, protect water, support wildlife, and provide pure, fresh oxygen, plus they're fully biodegradable. This episode also touches on the family traditions tied to choosing a tree, how tree farms replant for the future, and why real trees still come out on top in sustainability studies. And stay tuned: Debbie and Laurie will follow up with a companion episode on what to do with your Christmas tree after the holidays, whether real or artificial.

In today's episode of How Humans Heal I'm talking with Heather Aardema. She is the founder of the School of Living Lighter and is a Board Certified Decluttering Coach who helps people understand what's underneath the reason for clutter using a holistic approach. I'm so glad to have her here with us to help us understand what a different it can make and how to get started. Needing to declutter is quite common. I, myself have been going through a decluttering process the past couple of years while rebuilding my house, so I know firsthand how valuable it is. And I was talking to a patient the other day whose daughter recently went to college. She was experiencing "empty nest syndrome" and found herself looking around her home thinking "what is all this stuff doing here?" When we realize that our desk is piled with stuff and the drawers are overfilled, that's when we know we need to declutter. To some degree, it's part of the human experience because we're so busy keeping up with life. When we finally go through a change that allows us to take time to look around our space, that's when we realize that we have too much stuff and need to declutter. But what if all the clutter is having a negative impact on our health and out life? What if we become intentional about decluttering? What kinds of shifts could happen when we get to the bottom of the pile and create space? Heather shares that it can make a massive difference in our day-to-day life when we address our clutter. The clutter feels heavy, and it's not just a feeling. There's physiology to clutter. If we perceive it, our cortisol is going to go through the roof. Our stuff is more energy than matter, and it really can make an impact on how we show up, the decisions that we make, and the way we live our lives. We're here to help you!

The signs are all around us. The climate cult is losing its grip on our politics and culture. The UN's climate conference, COP30 in Brazil, was a flop that even the alarmist cheerleaders in the legacy media could not ignore. A major paper justifying radical climate action was just retracted. The Sierra Club is shedding a shocking number of members. And when was the last time you saw climate alarmist propaganda shoved annoyingly into your favorite TV show or movie – which was very common not so long ago?  The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken will be joined by special guest and fan favorite Steve Milloy of Junkscience.com. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including an exodus from EPA, what climate policy failure looks like in graph form, perhaps the cringiest moment in COP history, and Donald Trump's call to have those who have pushed climate alarmism investigated. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metals In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Every year, hundreds of rhinos are killed for their horns, which are trafficked mainly to Asia for use in traditional medicine. As part of the "G20 Heritage Projects", a large-scale campaign was launched in mid-July in South Africa to help save the rhino from extinction. The "Rhino Renaissance Campaign" brings together advanced surveillance technology, the involvement of local communities and radical conservation measures – including dehorning – to combat poaching. FRANCE 24's Eunice Stoltz-Masson and Caroline Dumay report.

  The World Bank reports that, "today, more than half of the world's population – over 4 billion people – lives in cities." It also estimates that this shift is going to continue, in fact to DOUBLE to nearly 70% – or 7 out of every 10 people will live in cities by 2050. That's only 25 years away. At the same time, extreme weather events are increasingly devastating cities – we have all witnesses how Hurricane Melissa decimated Jamaica last week, for example, destroying home and businesses, schools, houses of worship, government buildings, everything. So what can, should and ARE cities doing to keep their people and economies safe and climate resilient?  What's working and what can we learn from them?  Today we're going to find out from four extraordinary women from across the globe." Joan Michelson's Introduction to the Panel at Smart City Expo 2025   We need to share what works in cities across the globe, and that's exactly what my esteemed panel did recently at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. Here is the recording of Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson's panel which includes three women from three countries: Japan, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as Joan from the U.S. Listen to hear fascinating ideas and stories from these women: You'll hear from: ● Nidya Pesántez is UN Women for the Americas and the Caribbean Representative in Bolivia, where she also coordinates the Environmental Strategy for a Just Transition in Latin America and the Caribbean.  ●       Sofía María Galnares Giagnorio Cámara is Provincial Deputy of Santa Fe Deputy, Argentina, and the youngest elected provincial deputy in Santa Fe province. She also serves as President of the Commission on Environment and Natural Resources in the Legislature. ●       Asuka Ito is an international advisor to the Government of Japan's Cabinet Office on the Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP).

In this episode of Space for Life, Tommy and Joe dive deep into one of the most overlooked drivers of personal transformation: the environment you build around your life. Instead of focusing on tips, hacks, or quick fixes, they explore how habits, self-coaching, meaningful relationships, and spiritual spaciousness create the kind of “rich soil” where long-term growth actually happens.Drawing from the Parable of the Sower, Tommy unpacks four types of “soil environments” and shows how they mirror the spiritual, emotional, and practical conditions we create in our lives. The conversation moves through the role of spaciousness, the discomfort that often precedes growth, why self-reflection is essential, and the four kinds of people every person needs around them.If you want deeper relationships, meaningful progress, and a spiritual life that actually transforms you — this episode will help you create the conditions where real growth can finally take root.Key TakeawaysCreating the right environment is more important than any single growth tactic.The Parable of the Sower offers a framework for understanding how environment impacts growth.The three major components of a growth environment are habits, self-coaching, and people.Spaciousness is the foundational habit that enables reflection, listening, and deeper living.Weekly and quarterly rhythms create structure for long-term transformation.Growth requires a willingness to step outside your comfort zone.Self-coaching begins with listening — to patterns, emotions, circumstances, and God.Four kinds of people accelerate growth: mentors, mentees, soul friends, and prophets.A “prophet” (your Nathan) is someone with permission to speak hard truth into your life.ResourcesTommy's Book: Space to Breathe AgainSpace for Life Episode: “30 Minutes to Your Best Week”Space for Life Episode: “The Art of Journaling”Space for Life Episode: "What's the Big Deal About Margin?"Space for Life Episode: "What's a Spacious Life?"0:00 Intro1:46 Why Environment Matters4:26 Parable of the Sower9:42 Four Types of Soil12:49 Three Elements of Growth16:43 Habits of Spaciousness25:06 Weekly + Long-Term Rhythms32:57 Self Coaching + Reflection41:50 People of Growth45:22 4 Types of People You Need in Your Life55:48 Finding Your NathanLove the show?
