Podcasts about Flourishing

Join us today as Dr. Friedeman talks about the flourishing life from the book of Ecclesiastes.

One way to take control of your life, is to take care of your environment. In this Five Minute Flourishing episode, Craig discusses how you can shape your environment in a way that enhances your flourishing by adding positive cues (elements of your environment that encourage productive behaviors) and removing negative cues (parts of your environment that are associated with unproductive behaviors).------Live Well and Flourish website: https://www.livewellandflourish.com/ The theme music for Live Well and Flourish was written by Hazel Crossler, hazel.crossler@gmail.com.

We live in a traumatized world where everyone has some degree of pain and trauma to be addressed. In this episode, we explore Peter Levine's work around trauma and how it gets frozen in our nervous system through an immobility (or “freeze”) response. Recognizing this reality can change everything, as we discover our need to complete trauma responses by moving out of immobility and into our bodies, recovering anger as an expression of advocacy rather than aggression, and grief as a path to unfreezing. These are critical practices on the path to a flourishing life which helps change us and, ultimately, the world around us.

Sometimes you can actually FREE yourself when you do what is counterintuitive. But, that is so hard to do because you are going against what EVERYTHING in you wants to do. Today we want to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone. To do something counterintuitive and adopt an opposite way of thinking. Sometimes Jesus had a different way of thinking. Instead of natural instincts, or following the world around him, he lived an opposite life.  After you watch the message leave your thoughts in the comments below! How can you adopt an opposite way of thinking in your life today?____Co-Founding Pastor Jon Ferguson continues our series: YOU+____Learn more: https://www.communitychristian.org/Watch LIVE: https://live.communityonline.tv/(Sundays at 7:30a, 9a, & 10:30a  CST)Sign up for the Bible Reading Plan: https://www.communitychristian.org/resources/bible/Join a small group: https://www.communitychristian.org/connectGive: https://www.givenow.cc____#YOUPLUS #You+

Solitude and silence are essential for deeper submission, trust, and intimacy with the Lord. While our experience of these disciplines may change through different stages of our faith, they remain foundational for us to flourish in life.Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi share the power of practicing rhythms of solitude and spiritual direction. Together these practices transform and awaken your soul to perceive the beauty, goodness, and love of God, and the many ways he is caring for you right now.Resources for this Episode:Dallas Willard, Renewing the Christian Mind: Essays, Interviews, and TalksSoul Shepherding Institute

Text for socials: In this episode, we talked to Professor Francis Su about the role of mathematics in flourishing, how mathematics can promote flourishing, and his argument that the purpose of mathematics is to support flourishing.  Francis Su is the Benediktsson-Karwa Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College and a former president of the Mathematical Association of America. In 2013, he received the Haimo Award, a nationwide teaching prize for college math faculty, and in 2018 he won the Halmos-Ford writing award. His work has been featured in Quanta Magazine, Wired, and the New York Times. His 2020 book Mathematics for Human Flourishing, which won the 2021 Euler Book Prize, offers an inclusive vision of what math is, who it's for, and why anyone should learn it. Key conversation points: Francis' definition of flourishing as a “wholeness of being and doing” and the way he distinguishes between flourishing and happiness Francis' argument on the role of mathematics in human flourishing How mathematics can cultivate virtues important for flourishing and which virtues mathematics can cultivate in a particularly strong way Francis' approach towards teaching mathematics in such a way as to cultivate virtues among students of mathematics, such as creativity and an appreciation for beauty Francis' correspondence with Christopher Jackson, an inmate serving a 32-year sentence for armed robberies who started writing to Francis seven years into his sentence, about his passion for mathematics, and the influence this correspondence has had on Francis' work on mathematics and flourishing, and how he sees mathematics  Francis' views on how mathematics education needs to change to cultivate virtues   francissu.com flourishfmpodcast.com

What makes you different from others?    Your answer to that question is one of the keys to living a great life.   Problem is, most people are too focused on keeping up with everyone else, leading to an exhausted life.   This is why I wanted to corner two of the most brilliant minds in the world when it comes to the science of human flourishing.    Special Guests, Dr. Nick Holton and Dr. Jon Beale, join me on today's episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show and teach you how to apply the science to live your BEST life.   In this latest episode, the three of us talk about…   What is human flourishing and how you can experience it The two greatest predictors of general well-being, satisfaction of life, and fulfillment What you can't miss if you want to have more life-satisfaction and fulfillment in your daily life   …and so much more.   If you want to flourish in your life and career, then lock in to today's episode. [00:01 - 11:50] Introducing Dr. Nick and Dr. Jon to the show   Nick and Jon's most embarrassing moment Nick and Jon''s background, story, and professional journey   [11:51 - 21:00] What is human flourishing and how you can experience it   Jon: Methodology behind the research: Identify the things in life that you do for the pursuit of nothing else (i.e. you doing the thing is an end in itself). Do that thing with NO further goal in mind. Flourishing research today looks for multiple areas of life that you do just for the sake of doing that thing (e.g. pursuing relationships, being happy, being satisfied, fulfilling your potential, experiencing flow, etc.) and figuring out ways that you can enhance those as much as possible in your life Key areas: Fulfillment of potential  Flow Close social relationships Happiness & positive emotions Character strengths or virtues Mental/physical health There's no research that says you have to reach a baseline in each of those areas of life to flourish Harvard definition = your individual well-being is high AND your well-being in relation to others and the context in where you are is high (i.e. defined interpersonally among a community of people). Harvard says you can have high well-being, but not be flourishing Positive Psychology (University of Pennsylvania) definition = if you have high well-being, then you're flourishing Nick:  What's not in Harvard's definition of flourishing: achievement, success The gap between fulfillment and success is often because we're relying on the end goal of success (i.e something done for a very specific outcome) Flourishing is well-being, generally feeling good (but not necessarily all the time), and performing optimally in areas of meaning  Areas of meaning is important because if you perform optimally in something you're forced into, it won't provide the same level of satisfaction as someone who's performing optimally in areas of meaning   [21:01 - 24:45] The role your purpose plays in regards to flourishing in life   Research: Asking the question “Why?” is conceptually different than purpose Purpose is a sub-component or a pathway to meaning (i.e. it's about impact and contribution)...”it's a bit of the me and a bit of the we” The best of the best have both extrinsic and intrinsic motivations, but they're predominantly intrinsic (i.e. they know what their why is and what they're doing each day, and orient their day around it via calendaring, recovery, etc.) Success on the field of competition is not an automatic route to well-being, life satisfaction, meaning, and fulfillment   [24:46 - 34:15] The two greatest predictors of general well-being, satisfaction of life, and fulfillment   Meaning Quality of relationships (social connection, community, intimacy, friendship, etc.) 2018: In the UN's annual happiness report regarding satisfaction in the workplace, #1 predictor of workplace satisfaction was interpersonal relationships (i.e. we have to like the people we work with); #2 was the job must be interesting (#3 was pay) Jon regarding money: common mistake people make are confusing a means with an end in terms of how they're living their lives (i.e. they're focusing on the means rather than the end)  The “when I _______, I'll focus more on my relationships. Until then, I'm going to grind it out.” Money can help prevent you from suffering, but it can't be an end in itself (i.e. it's not the source of fulfillment). Once you've reached a point where all your material needs are met, it's not doing much for you Human beings can't help themselves from comparing themselves to others   [34:16 - 41:53] What you can't miss if you want to have more life-satisfaction and fulfillment in your daily life   Nick: Ask yourself: What's your recipe for a good life? What ingredients do you WANT? How much of each ingredient do you NEED? Intentionality - cook your recipe! What's most important to you (i.e. want), when does it hit a point of diminishing returns (i.e. need), and how do you put the recipe together? Jon:  Part of the journey to living a good life is identifying what works best for you and what makes you different from other people. Enhance the eight domains that research says are ends in themselves (but don't focus on making one far surpass the others thus to the detriment of the others) Happiness Good, close social relationships Meaning / purpose Flow Accomplishment Mental and physical health Character (developing strengths and character virtues) Fulfillment   [41:54 - 46:58] What's anti-fragility and how to leverage it to become a better leader   Fragile = adversity strikes, we brake Resilient = adversity strikes, we navigate it and come out the other side Anti-fragile = adversity strikes, we navigate it, come out the other side, and grow our capacity because of it (NOTE: This is not the “suck it up” attitude and rigidity) The goal: develop stress tolerance to unpleasantness (because research tells us we need unpleasantness in order to grow)    [46:59 - 54:01] Wrapping Up Nick and Jon's BIG domino How to connect with Nick and Jon   KEY QUOTES “Success is not an automatic route to meaning and fulfillment” - Dr. Nick Holton “In regards to your life satisfaction, don't over-index on money.” - Dr. Nick Holton “Part of the journey to living a good life is identifying what works best for you.” - Dr. Jon Beale “Prioritize what matters the most to you.” - Dr. Jon Beale   CONNECT WITH DR.
