Podcasts about gretchin rubin

Greetings Recapsters! For this episode, we discuss Gretchin Rubin's book, The Four Tendencies, where she discusses how people respond to inner (stop nagging) and outer (traffic laws) expectations. She also wrote Better than Before to help us discover why some people can form habits more easily than others.How do we change? Habits are the invisible architecture of our lives. 40% of our daily behaviors are repeated, why not harness this information to gain self-knowledge that will help us adopt habits successfully? 41% of the population are Obligers. “You can count on me and I'm counting on you to count on me.” They are motivated by external expectations and struggle with inner expectations and with saying no. 24% of the people fall into the Questioner category. “I will comply if you convince me why.” They are motivated by clarity, reason, logic and fairness. They can have bouts of analysis paralysis. 19% of folks are Upholders. These are the people that respond readily to inner and outer expectations. Discipline is their freedom. 17% fall into the Rebel category. “You can't make me, and neither can I.” This group places a high value on authenticity and acts best when you give them the information and let them make a choice. Our tendencies color the way we see the world. If you want to take the short quiz to discover your tendency click here.

On this podcast I will talk about Reflecting on the Past and Setting Intentions for the Future. Identifying what is not working in our lives and creating goals to make changes can be really helpful. I will provide tips and strategies to help you be successful in keeping and attaining the goals you set for yourself. I'll talk about a tool that can help you to assess where your life is out of balance. That's the The Balance Bound Planner. This planner has sections for: work, home, others and self. I will tell you what I discovered about myself in just a few days of using this planner. If you would like to get a Balance Bound Planner, find one at https://www.balancebound.co/shop/stationery-giftsThe Balance Bound planner has a spot where you can come up with a word for the year. I'll share what mine is and how I built my intention for the year around it. One of the strategies I will talk about comes from understanding how you best meet inner and outer expectations in your life. To better understand this you can read Gretchin Rubin's book, “The Four Tendencies,” or take the quiz to find out what tendency you are: https://gretchenrubin.com/quiz/the-four-tendencies-quiz/https://www.amazon.com/The-Four-Tendencies-audiobook/dp/B071L426J6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=229PGX3X808O8&keywords=the+four+tendencies+by+gretchen+rubin&qid=1672626012&sprefix=the+four+ten%2Caps%2C192&sr=8-1No matter what goals you set for yourself, I will invite you to to aim for progress, not perfection. Remember to have compassion for yourself if it's harder to achieve the goals you set than you had hoped. This is a journey and we are most likely not going to hit the destination of having everything perfectly perfect (bummer!) We are often moving towards balance but so rarely do we stay there for long. In our Drop of Zen today (our short guided meditation) we will do a little reflecting on the past year and intention setting for the new year. Feel free to have a piece of paper and a writing utensil nearby to jot down what comes up for you. . If you like this episode please subscribe!

We always talk about the fact that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. This is primarily because every body has different needs when it comes to nutrition and movement. But another important reason is that every mind approaches goals in its own unique way. So in this episode we are diving into Gretchin Rubin's Four Tendencies - Upholder, Obliger, Questioner and Rebel - and exploring how you can use your primary tendency to your advantage on your weight loss journey. To determine your tendency, head on over to Gretchin's website and take her quiz: https://gretchenrubin.com/quiz/the-four-tendencies-quiz/ No matter what tendency you are, coaching can help. Head on over to www.wayzhealth.com to explore how we can help you on your weight loss journey.

Do you ever find yourself faced with the social pressures of drinking alcohol? Does alcohol no longer align with your higher vibration and the ultimate vision you have for your dream life? Lindsay and Cait are joined by alcohol-free lifestyle expert, Amanda Kuda, who discusses the role alcohol can play in your life, in your social circles, and in manifesting your dreams.

Amanda Kuda is a writer, intuitive coach, and mentor who helps leaders and entrepreneurs break up with booze so that they can break through to their best lives. Her biggest passion is teaching other high-achieving women how to navigate the stumbling blocks of going alcohol-free so you can step into a life beyond your wildest dreams.

Daisy Brackenhall Daisy Brackenhall is a Brit who has been living in rural France for the past 17 years. She lost half her body weight with weight loss surgery and low carb eating and has since maintained a healthy weight with keto. Keto has also helped her significantly reduce depression and migraines. She is a part-time gardener and lives with her three dogs and cats. Daisy is a podcaster and produces two weekly podcasts. In the Keto Woman podcast Daisy chats with extraordinary women and shares their inspiring stories with listeners. Monday Mindset is Daisy's newest podcast and a collaboration with her friend and psychologist Terri Lance, who works at The Fasting Method. Each week they share with each other and their listeners something that they've found inspiring or motivational.A few years ago Daisy created and continues to run a successful Facebook group for women called Kickarse Keto Bitches. With almost 3000 members from all around the world, the group functions as a safe and inviting community for women to find and offer support to one another.This crossover episode is the first of two episodes with our KetoWoman and Monday Mindset podcast host Daisy Brackenhall. We had a wide ranging conversation over various topics around various life issues. Louise and Daisy are kindred-keto spirits as their respective weight gain and weight loss journeys were very similar, which they found out when they met through the 2KetoDudes group. Louise was lucky enough to visit Daisy at her acreage in rural southern France when she was living and working in the UK. Daisy was instrumental as host of her KetoWoman podcast which introduced Jackie and Louise. As they say, the rest is history.

This week, Erin was out sick, so it's Candice and Rikki. Earlier in the week, Candace shared a post in the Real WW Talk Facebook Group from @Binge.Nutritionist about healthy ways to prevent a binge. A group member brought up New York Times best-selling author and happiness advocate Gretchin Rubin's concept of a "moderators vs abstainers" mindset, so we're diving into that this week, along with thoughts on control and sugar.CONNECT

This week's episode focuses on how to look after your mental health and maintain balance and a sense of your own well-being when faced with a life-crisis during the PhD. My guest Lauren Graffin shares her experiences of negotiating her father's serious illness and the death of her much-loved supervisor while undertaking her doctoral study.   Lauren completed her Master's in Applied Drama at the University of Exeter, and her PhD at Ulster University. She worked extensively as a community performance facilitator, and her PhD research focused on site and community-based performance practice in post-conflict Northern Ireland.  She is now a full time Professor at Sheridan College, Wyoming. Lauren talks about the importance of giving time and space to your feelings and to recognise that, even if you can't control the situation, you can control how you respond to it. We talk about journalling as a supportive practice and Lauren also suggests a couple of useful references: Susan David Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change and Thrive in Work and Life (London: Penguin, 2017) And the work of Gabby Bernstein - you can find out more here: https://gabbybernstein.com/ The performance company that Lauren mentions is Wrights and Sites: http://mis-guide.com/ Lauren has also suggested some supplementary material which you might find useful:   For when you need inspiration to keep going: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert For those who prefer to think technically and visually about managing their life:Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans For when you need advice on working effectively and joyfully:https://www.marieforleo.com For those who want to focus on developing healthy habits or consciously creating a happier life: Better than Before and The Happiness Project by Gretchin Rubin   You can contact Lauren via twitter: @LGraffin   Let us know if you have any recommendations for books/websites/other resources and don't forget that you can sign up for The Phd Life Raft Podcast newsletter via the website: www.thephdliferaft.com We are also starting to share extra resources on pintrest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/phdliferaft/ The PhD Life Raft podcast is now up on YouTube!  You can find us here:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVVWxhoL1DFiXHiJSI4J9Kg You can also follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/phdliferaft/ and Twitter: @thephdliferaft You can subscribe to us on apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-phd-life-raft-podcast/id1537420258 I look forward to connecting with you!

Wondered how to get more buy-in from patients? Have patients who just 'don't get it' or who are 'non-compliant?'One of our favorite frameworks comes from Gretchin Rubin, who developed the Four Tendencies. They're all about how we all respond to both internal and external expectations.We discuss this in greater detail in the Communications module of the Pelvic PT Essentials, but how you communicate with your patients is hugely important. This framework is a good way to evaluate how you're changing your style to suit each patient.

Show Notes: Episode 3: How Courage Can Change Your Life, May 6, 2020  Today we are going to talk about how courage can not only change your life, but give you the control that you need to get you where you want to go. We are living in some really challenging times. This global pandemic has caused so many people to shift their lives in ways they never imagined. For many people it has affected their mental health and ability to cope with everyday tasks. Let's start off my identifying what Courage is? According to the dictionary, courage is defined as the ability to do something that frightens one. strength in the face of pain or grief Basically is doing something bravely or just the act of being brave. We all have this inside and we need to find it! This is also about control. Having control over things during a challenging time or period can be difficult. When you don't have control, you need to use courage to help you FEEL like you are in control. Gretchin Rubin said it best, “Act the way you want to feel.” This is gold you guys! We have to look for ways to process our feelings We have to take care ourselves Take care of our family and those around us Why is Courage so Important? We don't give ourselves the permission to act bravely. Often we only have control of our feelings and our mindset. When you give yourself courage, you can change the mindset. Often choosing comfort is the easy way out of choosing courage. You get in the mindset that negates your efforts to move you ahead. CHOSE Courage over Comfort and you will seek yourself grow. One of my favorite quotes is by Brené Brown, “Courage has a ripple effect. Every time we choose courage, we make sure everyone around us is a little better and the world is a litter braver.” I AM SO HERE FOR THIS!!! You have the ability to be brave You have the ability to challenge yourself Key Takeaways Be nice to yourself- Most Important Be loving, compassionate, cooperative, and kind Connect with 1 person each day for 1 week and ask them- How are they doing? With Courage find Joy: look for things that make you happy, find an activity you can do that puts you at ease (music, meditation, working out, cooking, etc) Connect with people: We are humans! We are meant to connect and have emotions! Also May is National Mental Awareness Month, if you or someone you know suffers from mental health please check-in and let them know you are here for them.

Does anyone else out there find yourself reaching for an entire box of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (insert your kryptonite here) when you are feeling the big feelings that most of us are experiencing on a daily basis? During times of high emotions, boredom, and overwhelm, we have found ourselves grasping for something to hold on to. In this time, we have found that Gretchin Rubin’s strategy of using healthy treats to care for ourselves has been truly a life saver. Most of us love the idea of good habits in our lives. In her book, Better Than Before, Rubin describes a strategy of using healthy treats to care for ourselves, which actually increases our ability of keep good habits in our lives. When we deprive ourselves of things that we look forward to and bring us pleasure, we can end up feeling depleted and burned out. This often leads us to abandon our good habit pursuits and can lead us to un-healthy treats or numbing (which can bring us pleasure momentarily, but often derail our long term goals and habits). Healthy treats are so wonderful because they are things that both make you feel good in the moment, and feel good after you are finished with them. On the other hand, unhealthy treats are enjoyable in the moment you indulge in them, but often make us feel worse later (think eating an entire chocolate cake to escape feeling a negative emotion, skipping your workout to mindlessly scroll YouTube, over drinking, or any addictive behavior that you feel sabotages your wellbeing). In this episode, we discuss how to really use the strategy of healthy treats as a fun way to give more to yourself, which in turn allows you to actually stick with your goals and habits. We give our lists of healthy treats so that hopefully you leave the episode with a long list of your own healthy treats you can lean on throughout the day to help you feel both taken care of and motivated.

Entering the last week on Outreach with my schools and finishing work with children that I have supported over the last 3 years. It is amazing to look back on the progress that they have made as they make the big move to Secondary schools.   On a recent Erasmus trip to Stockholm I had the opportunity to dip into: "The Happiness Project by Gretchin Rubin",  as part of her starting point she identified 12 guiding principles and then applied them as a template to becoming happier in her whole life. One of the main starting points was de-cluttering her home to produce a freer more relaxed environment for herself and her family to live in.  So I'm applying this to both my work and home life with a view to clearing out the messy and untidy clutter and alongside this attempt to get better habits around my own physical and mental approach to life, so alongside the de-cluttering the physical home/work environment I wanted to aim for better life balance. Do the Journey To Better has begun and today is about documenting part if that journey.  I have mentioned in this episode the voice comment link and have included a direct link to it below so feel free to comment on how your life journey is going, what you are doing to improve yourself and also any advice you have for me as I begin this process would be most welcome..go right ahead and leave a short audio comment.   Voice Message this Episode or my Podcast in general with this link. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to listen to this Podcast. Particularly this one as I close another school year by documenting the last week where I also attended my brothers retirement celebrations and how those impacted on me. You can also follow me on:  Twitter where I can be contacted by DM or just join in the ongoing conversation on the educational, sporting and news topics that I interact with.   I'm also available on  https://www.instagram.com/gpkdaily/   The Podcast is also on Soundcloud, I am using it to hold the top 5 to 10 most recent episodes and that by following your own preferred Podcast platform link you can find any back episodes previous to these that might interest you.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ateachersstory/message

Nicole Blades sat down to take her LSATs and realized that practicing law was not how she wanted to spend the rest of her life. She has been putting words to paper since a child and an English teacher encourage her to pursue this career. All of those moments, combined with a conversation between her and a makeup artist on the set of a horrible talk show made her realize that journalism was the perfect way to be a writer as a career. As with most writers, her career path was not a straight line. She has worked at Essence Magazine, ESPN and Women’s Health. She also has an ongoing successful freelance writing career. Her latest novel, The Thunder Beneath Us, is now on bookstore shelves and we had a great conversation about the cover and wondering how and if it might change when the book hits International markets. Listen in as we discuss literature censorship, the role of race in writing and her desire for more “reflective writing instead of diverse writing.” An idea that opened my mind in multiple new directions and one that I think will do the same to you. Nicole and I both believe that we need stories and art more than ever. A few links referenced in the show that you’ll want to be sure to visit once you are done listening.
