Reframe anxiety as a strength and use stress to enhance your communication confidence.Stress, anxiety, nervousness — when these feelings inevitably arise, lecturer Kelly McGonigal says it's not about making them go away, but using them to your advantage.“What I have come to value about anxiety,” says McGonigal, “is it's a sign that I care.” As she explains, feelings of stress alert us to things that matter to us and help us stay present in the moment — particularly useful, she says, when it comes to communication.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McGonigal and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to channel stress toward more effective communication and to a deeper connection to our own purpose and meaning.This episode is brought to you by Loom.

Why can it be so difficult to receive? Whether it's something small like a compliment,Or something bigger, like receiving help when we are in some form of pain or distress. While the response can vary of course, For many of us the instinct can often be:To brush off the compliment To minimize the recognitionTo turn down the help Essentially to close off in one form or another. And there are a whole host of reasons why this might happen.From the way we're raised,To:Expectations or cultural norms that have to do with identity, the workplace, etcFears of being perceived as weak, of not being liked, or not fitting in.The list goes on.This past week as I was engaged in a discussion around receiving (and the difficulty with it) with my long time collaborator Matt Donner.And in the process was reminded of a past Courageous Life conversation with Dr. Kelly McGonigal where we explored self-compassion.In particular, challenging the popular forms of self-compassion practice that so often focus on Going off by yourself and doing your self compassion practice, Alone. Don't get me wrong, individual practices like self-compassion meditation or journaling can certainly be helpful, but they are also somewhat limiting and incomplete. The limits of these practices can be seen when we start to consider important practice questions like:What about self-compassion that looks like opening to and receiving help when you're in pain?What about allowing others to carry some of the weight that you've been shouldering on your own?What about self-compassion that is found in relationship and community?And that involves taking the risk to be vulnerable,And to receive?Becoming a better friend to ourselves isn't always done in isolation. It can include engaging in the powerful practice of opening toAnd receiving help,Rather than closing off to it. So today this is what we will explore and you will have the opportunity to hear directly from Kelly McGonigal in a moving clip from our conversation, about how this not only benefits us, but how it can be a gift to those offering their help.

Most see stress as a negative force in our lives--something we should avoid. But it can be a friend instead of an enemy. I cite Kelly McGonigal's TED talk in this episode and review some of the research she mentions to show how stress can help instead of hurt us--but only if we connect with others--if we improve relationships--if we see help when we need and give help when others need it. __________________________Do you have questions or comments?Please contact me: rtosguthorpe@gmail.comWant more info about my books and talks?Go to my website: https://www.russelltosguthorpe.com/Want to order a book?

When it comes to finding joy and happiness, exercise is not always top of mind but maybe it should be. Exercise benefits our physical health as well as helps to reduce anxiety, stress and symptoms of depression, yet many Americans say exercise is not something they enjoy. So where's the disconnect? And how can people consistently reap the “feel good” benefits of exercise? Health psychologist and author of The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection and Courage, Kelly McGonigal talks with Sanjay about the why moving your body can be a source of joy and hope. And for listeners who say they don't enjoy exercise or have limited mobility, she has some tips that might turn things around. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Send us a Text Message.Let's talk about the concept of willpower, its limitations, and how to strengthen it. We begin by looking at how willpower is defined by researcher Kelly McGonigal. According to McGonigal, it's the ability to resist temptation and make choices that align with our long-term goals, even when faced with resistance. Interestingly, research shows willpower is a finite resource that depletes throughout the day except for one element, which acts as a buffer against this depletion. In this episode, you learn research-based strategies for improving willpower.In schools, adults are asked to do hard, and sometimes very unpleasant, things regularly. What's the difference between those that face the challenges consistently those that don't?

In this episode, Brian interviews Dr. Kelly McGonigal, author, health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University. Dr. McGonigal explains the benefits of stress and outlines how we can all learn and grow from challenging life experiences. Mentioned in this episode"The Upside of Stress" by Kelly McGonigalTED Talk: How to Make Stress Your Friend | Kelly McGonigalInspirational quotes from today's interview:“Stress isn't always about attacking it and killing it and winning it.” — Kelly McGonigal“Your brain and body have different ways of responding to stress that can help you thrive.” — Kelly McGonigal“Most of us have a story in our head that says “this shouldn't be stressful” for the very things that are most likely to cause stress.” — Kelly McGonigal “Stress is something that arises in your mind and your body when something you care about is at stake.” — Kelly McGonigal“We have stress responses in every relationship that matters to us, every role that matters to us and every goal that matters to us.” — Kelly McGonigal“Surrender a little bit to the fact that if you went through something very stressful, your brain is going to try to learn from it. Do it intentionally. Sit down, write about it, talk to someone about it and reflect on it. That will help you recover more quickly and also help you learn from the experience so that you are stronger afterwards.” — Kelly McGonigal“I don't have to give my best energy towards outrage or fear that I actually can't have any impact on.” — Kelly McGonigalitsagoodlife.com Hosted on Acast.

Send us a Text Message.Stress equals meaning equals happinessThe more stress the happier the person.Stress is highly correlated with a greater sense of meaning in life. When twins were little I wanted the challenge to take care of them at night, felt like I belonged with them and felt happier being with them even thought it was more challenging.How is that true in your life?What strsss do you want to include and why? Why would. You rather do it and be stressed than NOT do it and be not stressed.Choosing to be a stay at home mom even thought it is super challenging and stressful. But super meaningful to me and I would rather be here stressed out than in some office cubicle doing something that has zero meaning to me. This podcast has a lot of meaning to ME even thought it is stressful to put myself out there share my stories, doubt myself, question myself and feel vulnerable, but I would rather do it than not BECAUSE It means a lot to me to know that this will be helpful to at least one other person out there bozo I know how helpful it was to me when I listed to a podcast or read a blog./Dinners realiziing I would rather scramble and do last minute adjustments and cook 3,4 different options for the kids that order in or do fast food. I would rather be stressed out over picky eaters and being bad at this and how hard this cooking job is than pick up fast food. I choose this stress over the other stress of feeding them less nutritious meals but seemingly less work and less stress in making the meal. Ha I would actually be rather doing that than this! Hah I didn't realize I was choosing it. Reconnect with Your Son, Sign up for a Free ConsultationTired of fighting?

O seu cérebro tem aproximadamente 86 bilhões de neurônios, FIVE, e eles, “ligados” uns com os outros, chegam a formar 200 trilhões de conexões neurais aí na sua cabeça… Vou explicar de maneira resumida aqui, mas podemos dizer que essas conexões foram formadas ao longo da sua vida, como um “reflexo” das suas vivências e experiências. Então, por exemplo, se na sua infância você colocou um grampo na tomada, acabou descobrindo que isso resultava em um desconforto físico chamado “choque elétrico”. Ali, alguns neurônios se ligaram, criando uma conexão neural que “diz”: enfiar grampos ou outros objetos na tomada não é uma boa ideia. Deu pra pegar a lógica? E assim seus comportamentos vão sendo “modelados” ao longo do tempo e essa sua “Programação Mental" que vai sendo configurada é o que chamamos de “Mindset”. Esse tal Mindset é o que faz uma pessoa ter mentalidade vencedora ou perdedora, ter crenças positivas ou negativas sobre o dinheiro, alcançar o corpo dos sonhos ou não… A boa notícia é que se você conhecer os manuais de como funcionam o seu cérebro e o seu comportamento, você pode extrair o melhor deles, para conquistar o que deseja! Por isso então, eu preparei o episódio #187 do Sai da Média, o Podcast de Produtividade mais ouvido do Brasil: “5 livros de neurociência que revolucionaram a minha vida”.

Today, returning guests and I unravel the connection between sensitivity, trauma, and the search for meaning. And what role does spirituality play in finding healing and purpose for those with unique sensitivities?Uncover the hidden truths behind the gender industrial complex and its impact on mental health, as we question the narrative that permanent physical alterations can solve deeper psychological issues.

Episode 262: Lost on the Slopes - Lessons Beyond the Mountain: Interview Nick ShawWelcome to the Love Your Story podcast. Today's show takes us into the story of the death of a 9-year-old boy after a ski accident at Big Sky in Montana. The tragedy, as you would expect, brought his parent's to their knees, on a path none of us want to walk. But Nick Shaw - today's guest - sought meaning as the life-line to hold to as he moved forward, and part of his healing process involved putting it down in writing, sharing the lessons he learned from his son. Stay tuned as he shares his story and as we discuss his book: My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss and Love.Nick Shaw, William's father, an accomplished executive coach, and the author of My Teacher, My Son, joins us today to share his story and the things he's learned along the way.Nick, welcome to the show.I wanted to read a quick review of your book:Kelly McGonigal, PhD, Research Psychologist at Stanford University writes:“It seems impossible that a book about unimaginable grief could offer so much hope, yet that is the gift of My Teach, My Son. With breath taking honesty, Nick Shaw shows how love, joy and continued connection co-exist with loss, change and challenge. The courage of Nick's self-reflection empowers each of us to find a way forward. A truly heart empowering read.”Very high praise.Tune into the audio program to hear answers to the following discussion questions:I know your story - I finished your book last week - but of course none of the listeners know who you are yet, so can we please start with your story? Tell us about your family and about that day.In dealing with this devastating loss, you chose to look for lessons. What have been the greatest lessons you have learned?In your book you say:“I took a six-month leave of absence from work to bewith Susie and Kai and to try to make sense of everything. This pause gaveme the time and space to reflect and ask, “Is this the way I want to go onliving my life?” While the answer is important, I found that taking the timeto ask the question is more important.” TELL ME ABOUT THIS. I LOVE THE QUESTION.As your healing progresses and a year later you and Susan have your third son, you say, In another section of the book,“ I had to be able to hold both my despair and my happiness at the same time. I had to accept that I could be happy and sad at the same time. I could revel in the delight of holding mynewborn son and at the same time be devastated by the loss of my oldest son. I could delight in sharing new and exciting experiences with Kai and at the same time be shattered by the fact that I will never be able to share those same experiences with William. I had to stop letting one feeling diminish the other; I made room for both feelings to coexist.I feel like this is a healthy mindset that allows room for the complexity of the emotional journey. Talk to us about this idea... When we are going through something traumatic, how do we not let the emotion and trauma just take over? How do we maintain our ability to choose mindset?To connect with Nick or get a copy of his book:www.meetnickshaw.comLinkedIn: Nick Shaw
Chapter 1 What's The Willpower Instinct Book by Kelly McGonigal"The Willpower Instinct" is a book written by Kelly McGonigal, a psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University. It was published in 2011 and explores the science behind willpower and self-control. The book provides practical strategies and techniques to improve willpower, manage stress, resist temptation, and achieve long-term goals. McGonigal combines scientific research, real-life stories, and personal experiences to help readers understand the complexities of willpower and how to cultivate it effectively.Chapter 2 Is The Willpower Instinct Book A Good BookThe Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal is generally regarded as a good book. It explores the science behind willpower and self-control and provides practical strategies to strengthen these mental faculties. McGonigal's writing style is engaging and accessible, making it easy for readers to understand and apply the concepts discussed. Many readers have found the book to be insightful and helpful in improving their ability to make positive changes in their lives. However, personal opinions may vary, so it is always recommended to read reviews and excerpts to determine if the book aligns with your specific interests and goals.Chapter 3 The Willpower Instinct Book by Kelly McGonigal SummaryThe Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It, written by Kelly McGonigal, is a comprehensive guide to understanding and harnessing our willpower. In this book, McGonigal explores the science behind self-control, providing insights, strategies, and exercises to help readers strengthen their willpower and achieve their goals.The book begins by debunking common misconceptions about willpower, emphasizing that it is not an innate trait but a skill that can be developed. McGonigal explains the psychological and neurological mechanisms that govern self-control, using research to highlight the factors that influence our decision-making and impede our self-discipline.The core of The Willpower Instinct lies in the exploration of the three main types of willpower: I will, I won't, and I want power. 'I will' power refers to the ability to resist temptation and make proactive choices that align with our long-term goals. 'I won't' power, on the other hand, involves avoiding actions or behaviors that may derail us from our objectives. Lastly, 'I want' power refers to training our minds to desire what is beneficial for us and finding intrinsic motivation.In each section, McGonigal provides practical strategies and exercises to strengthen each aspect of willpower. These techniques involve understanding our triggers and urges, recognizing the influence of emotions on decision-making, using mindfulness and meditation to cultivate self-awareness, and optimizing our environment to reduce distractions and temptations.McGonigal also delves into the role of stress in our ability to exert self-control. She discusses the 'stress paradox,' explaining how high levels of chronic stress can deplete our willpower while moderate levels can actually enhance it. She provides advice on managing stress effectively to maintain willpower reserves.The book concludes with a discussion on the benefits of the willpower instinct beyond personal achievements. McGonigal explores how self-control can positively impact relationships, improve health, enhance financial stability, and contribute to creating a better society.Overall, The Willpower Instinct offers a comprehensive understanding of the science of willpower and actionable...
Today's episode is a life-affirming compilation on the theme of community and connection. I chose it because it's a subject that comes up in one way or another in almost every podcast conversation I have. Researchers, thinkers, and experts alike are concluding that one of the most significant contributing factors to our mental, physical and emotional health is our interactions with other human beings.Our ancestors evolved as a collective – ancient humans thrived in tribes. From keeping safe at night to hunting for and sharing food, coming together as a community was essential for our survival. And it's easy to forget we're not that different today. Sure, the world has transformed. Travel and technology mean families often live far apart, and younger generations are more likely to communicate through screens than face to face. We can survive without community, but can we really thrive?Science has shown how loneliness affects more than mood, leaving a lasting imprint on our mental and physical health. Reaching out to others then, is one of the best things we can do to protect and improve our holistic health. And I don't just mean asking for help. By giving to others, volunteering your time or lending an ear, your own wellbeing is boosted alongside the recipients'. Feeling part of a community is as much about making a contribution as being welcomed.Of course, it can be easier said than done. Maybe you don't have family nearby, you work alone, or you find it hard to make friends. This podcast is here to help. I guarantee that by the end you'll feel compelled to embrace community, convinced of the reasons it matters, and inspired by all the simple, actionable ideas this wonderful selection of guests share.You'll hear voices including Dr Gabor Maté, Johann Hari, Dr Tommy Wood and Professors Laurie Santos, Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz. Together we cover the reasons connection is key, the health benefits it affords, and how to find your community. We hear from Dr Pippa Grange, Dr Dacher Keltner, Kelly McGonigal, The Happy Pear, and many more on how to cultivate friendships and intimacy, and why it's kindness that counts.My team and I really enjoyed compiling this episode for you and it's served as a reminder to all of us, too, to prioritise the people in our lives a little bit more. Even if that's something you already do, is there someone you could reach out to who might be struggling to do the same? Each clip in this podcast comes from a full-length episode, so if there are voices that particularly resonate with you, check the show notes for links to listen to their episodes in full.

Mindset was the first thing I spoke about on this podcast. I even did a separate episode going into the controversies surrounding replication of Carol Dweck's original work. Then there were stress mindsets, introduced by Kelly McGonigal in her book The Upside of Stress. (I happen to have also covered a book by her twin sister Jane, Reality is Broken, about applying the motivational principles learned by game designers in wider life situations). But now I've encountered another kind of mindset: self-motivation mindset. Although the authors of Self-Regulation of Motivation: A Renewable Resource for Learning (2019) didn't name it that, it clearly is a type of mindset, in that it is a belief about oneself and one's potential. So now that we have not one, not two, but three mindsets to think about, I think it's time we tried to generalise as much as we can, and simply admit: mindsets matter. What other beliefs could there be that are affecting people's learning? Enjoy the episode. *** RELATED EPISODES 1. Mindset by Carol Dweck 68. The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal 131. Mindset: Does it Replicate?
We don't need less stress in our life, we just need to change our relationship with it. In her 2013 TED Talk "How to Make Stress Your Friend", Kelly McGonigal highlighted a study where 30,000 adults were tracked for eight years. The surprising revelation? Stress alone isn't the culprit; it's our belief about stress that matters. In this episode, I discuss the profound impact of mindset on stress and unveil three actionable ways to redefine your relationship with stress.

In this episode, I'm drawing inspiration from Kelly McGonigal's book, "The Willpower Instinct.""The brain is a reward system. When we do something good, we often feel it's okay to do something less than ideal."Have you ever rewarded yourself with a treat after being disciplined all day? I know I have.This episode will not only help you understand yourself better but will also teach you how to simplify the decision-making process. This, in turn, will align you with your full potential and benefit you in countless other areas.
Years ago I sat down for a conversation with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, who is arguably one of the world's leading experts on behavior change. During our time together I asked her to name a few of her greatest insights about what contributes to being able to successfully change behavior (which can be incredibly difficult). Learning skills that increase the capacity to tolerate distress was right at the top of her list. Today you'll have a chance to hear a snippet from Kelly, and you'll learn one of the simplest and most effective practices I've come across for tolerating the distress that arises from craving - a very common experience on the path to change, growth, and realizing our potential. It's called RAINAnd it stands for:RecognizeAllowInvestigateand Not identify withRAIN is a powerful tool for learning to “surf the urge” and for riding out cravings using mindfulness and curiosity. Ultimately this practice can make some of the hard parts of change more workable, and in the process can support the ability to live in greater alignment with what you care about most.

This episode is brought to you by Joovv and Rupa Health. With rates of depression and mental illness at an all-time high, it's crucial to take stock of and consciously make time for the things that bring us joy. Joy is an embodied feeling we get when we feel connected to our inner selves, relationships, and the world around us. The question is, how do we create more of it?Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Kelly McGonigal to discuss how to cultivate more joy in our lives using the power of movement, nature, community, and so much more. Kelly shares how movement can help familiarize our bodies with the physical sensations of joy so that it is more easily recognizable. She also discusses how a sedentary lifestyle can rob us of joy and how leading a healthy lifestyle can help us better connect to ourselves to find deeper meaning and purpose that leads us to live a joy-filled life. Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University specializing in understanding the mind-body connection. Her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities.She is the best-selling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress.

If you've been listening to the podcast this week, you probably heard that we're in the midst of a 3-week series on health and fitness – what we're calling Get Fit Sanely. To state the obvious, one of the hardest parts of getting fit is to make and break habits. In conjunction with this series, we're doing something cool over on the Ten Percent Happier app: we're bringing back our Healthy Habits challenge, a 7-day course that pairs behavior change expert Kelly McGonigal and meditation teacher Alexis Santos. Each day, you'll hear a short conversation with Dr. McGonigal about how to actually change habits in a beneficial way, without beating yourself up, followed by a meditation from Alexis that helps bring mindfulness to the whole endeavor. If you're an app subscriber, you can check out the course anytime, but what's really helpful is to do it with other people. The Healthy Habits Challenge kicks off in the Ten Percent Happier app on Monday, June 19. To join the Healthy Habits Challenge, just download the Ten Percent Happier app wherever you get your apps or by visiting tenpercent.com (all one word, spelled out).

Happy Friday, everybody. It's time for another bonus meditation, and we're going to stick with our current theme of Get Fit Sanely. This week on the podcast we talked with mobility experts Kelly and Juliet Starrett about how to stay pain-free and flexible even as you get older, and then Cara Lai helped us think about how to exercise without being motivated by subtle self-hatred.Obviously, a key part of fitness— from exercise to diet— is making and breaking habits. And that's what today's meditation is about: how when you're in autopilot mode—a default setting for most of us— it is hard to change your behavior. This meditation comes from the healthy habits course we produced over on the Ten Percent Happier app, which features Stanford psychologist Kelly McGonigal and meditation teacher Alexis Santos. To access the Healthy Habits Course, just download the Ten Percent Happier app wherever you get your apps or by visiting tenpercent.com. If you already have the app, just open it up and find “Healthy Habits” in the Course tab. And if you're not already a Ten Percent Happier subscriber, you can join us by starting a free trial that'll give you access to the course along with our entire app.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pay a visit to your local gym, observe the grimacing patrons as they pound the treadmill or march in place on the StairMaster, and you might conclude that exercise is no fun. But it doesn't have to be that way, according to Kelly McGonigal, who lectures at Stanford, teaches dance classes, and wrote “The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection, and Courage.” Today, she explains how exercise — of all kinds and in all doses — can strengthen your mind, elevate your mood, and deepen your social connections.
This week, I've decided to re-release an exceptional episode that first came out on this podcast over three years ago. My guest is Dr Kelly McGonigal. She's a Stanford psychologist, award winning science writer and the author of multiple international best-selling books, including her most recent, The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection and Courage. This conversation is all about movement; why movement is essential for our brains, our bodies, and our relationships. We've all heard how important movement is for our physical health but actually, in so many ways, I think we have undersold movement. Kelly shares some amazing insights and science about movement, which you may have never heard before. Kelly and I talk about the importance of music for movement, and how moving with others can improve social connections and foster a sense of support and community. We discuss how going beyond what you think you're capable of – whether that's an endurance event, lifting heavy weights or taking on an epic hike in nature – can provide a spiritual experience that changes the brain in positive ways. We also emphasise that movement does not have to be hard. Kelly explains how even the simplest of movements provide an immediate reset for your mood and brain chemistry. And she shares ground-breaking new research that shows how repeatedly contracting any muscles, through continuous exercise, releases antidepressant substances called myokines that scientists have dubbed ‘hope molecules'. Whether you're someone who wants to move more but isn't sure where to start – or you're already a confirmed fitness fanatic – I think you'll find this conversation uplifting and inspiring. I hope you enjoy listening.Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
