How to Stop Overthinking and Gain Mental Clarity | Mindfulness for OverthinkersDid you know the average person makes 35,000 decisions per day? No wonder your mind feels exhausted! But here's the paradox: Thinking more doesn't lead to better decisions—it leads to stress, indecision, and burnout.

The word Leader often brings to mind the heroic image of a charismatic, confident, and persuasive person who seems to "know" what to do in an instinctual, gut-driven way.   In Decision Leadership: Empowering Others to Make Better Choices (Yale UP, 2022), Don A. Moore and Max H. Bazerman offer a well-researched and compelling corrective to this view.  They describe organizations as decision factories in which effective leaders are not lone heroes, but decision architects who design situations and policies that enable those around them to make wise, ethical choices that are consistent both with their own interests and the organization's values.  Built on a foundation of behavioral economics and decision science research, this book is full of real-life stories and concrete examples of the incentives, structures, and systems that can be used to guide negotiations and decision making. This approach avoids many of the common pit-falls of overconfidence and dependence on a few heroic figures, allowing strong leaders to have positive impact far beyond their limited individual range.   Authors recommended reading:  Negotiation: The Game Has Changed by Max H.

Summary In this episode I get to chat with author and behavioural scientist, Richard Shotton.  Richard specialises in how humans make choices and has written 2 excellent books on this subject, the choice factory and the illusion of choice. He further specialises on applying findings from psychology and behavioural science to how businesses market their services and why consumers buy stuff  In this episode, Richard discusses the intersection of behavioural science and marketing, particularly in the context of how people make spending decisions in retirement. He shares insights from his research and experiences, highlighting the importance of fairness, social proof, and the emotional aspects of financial choices.   Our discussion also emphasizes the benefits of spending on experiences and others, as well as the challenges individuals face in transitioning from saving to spending during retirement.   Richard and I explore the complexities of retirement planning, focusing on behavioural economics and the psychological factors that influence spending habits. We discuss the importance of making financial decisions easier, and the impact of loss aversion on retirees' spending behaviours. We also delve into the paradox of choice and how an abundance of options can lead to decision paralysis. Key Takeaways Behavioral science can significantly improve marketing effectiveness. Fairness influences decision-making, often leading to suboptimal choices. Social proof plays a crucial role in financial decisions, especially in retirement. People often focus too much on outcomes rather than the decision-making process. Experiential spending tends to yield greater happiness than material purchases. Generosity in spending can enhance personal happiness. Expectations can heavily influence our experiences and satisfaction with purchases. Consistency bias can hinder the transition from saving to spending in retirement. Nudges can effectively guide individuals towards better financial choices. Understanding behavioral biases is key to making informed decisions.  The shift in saving defaults has significantly influenced saving habits. Making financial decisions easier can lead to better outcomes. Loss aversion plays a crucial role in how people spend their money. People are more likely to spend from guaranteed income than from capital. The paradox of choice can hinder decision-making in retirement planning. Financial advisors should use simple language to communicate effectively. Concrete stories are more memorable than abstract concepts in financial advice. Visualizing retirement can help individuals make better financial decisions. Defaults in financial products can greatly impact consumer behavior. Understanding and leveraging biases can improve financial planning outcomes.

In this episode, I explore how architectural thinking enhances strategic decision-making with Adam Griff. Our conversation reveals how his architectural background shapes his approach to helping higher education institutions navigate complex decisions and create flexible space solutions. We dig into the challenges of designing spaces that can adapt to unknown futures and discuss how universities can better integrate with their communities.  I particularly love how Adam frames flexibility in building design as creating platforms for future adaptations rather than just multi-purpose spaces. We also explore the tension between academic and organizational decision-making and how to create and decide while delivering innovation in higher education. Questions This Episode Helps You Answer How does thinking like an architect help organizations make better strategic decisions? What makes flexibility essential in both physical spaces and organizational processes, and how can we intentionally design for it from the beginning? What elements create environments where good decisions emerge, and how can we support better decision-making outcomes? How do we determine whether physical space is the best solution for achieving our organizational goals, and what questions should we ask before investing in space? How can we think about buildings as adaptable platforms that support evolving human needs rather than fixed structures with predetermined uses? How might universities and colleges create meaningful connections between campus development and community growth that benefit both? What strategies help organizations balance the need for scholarly rigor with efficient administrative decision-making, and how can these different approaches work together effectively?

In today's episode, we're looking at how we can make better choices. But in order to even start talking about choices, we must acknowledge that there is categorically no chooser. There's no independent entity that exists to choose anything, even though it looks so obvious that “we”, as a separate identity, are choosing our actions and behaviours. What our conscious mind is actually doing is just witnessing the choices that come from the vast subconscious realm. So if there is no chooser, how can we get better at making choices at all? We're going to tackle this topic through four important points that will bring more awareness to our thoughts and behaviours. What is Covered: -Our conscious mind as the witnessing space of existence-The hidden underground subconscious realm that drives our choices-Where the beginning of mental freedom lies -Why all choices are the best available choices-The difference between choices made in real time and choices made from fear, need, shame and insecurity-How to start making better choices Resources: -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let's connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/

Beth was raised in Worcester, MA and she was the youngest of three children. Unfortunately, she was born seventeen years after her second oldest sister. She was basically raised as an only child and  unfortunately didn't get much attention from her parents. Alan's grandparents felt that she was a pretty blond haired, blue eyed young lady and that she'd get married and start a family. They never instilled any ideals about higher education and basically left her to fend for herself.Well, she and her husband did fall in love and started a loving family but then her dreams were crushed  when she suddenly lost the love of her life and the father of her two children in the car accident.Beth did her best to encourage her children to shoot for the stars, aim high and big, go to college, many more doors will open for you. Alan says he's so grateful to his mom for "teaching him to aim high. She'd say you'll have choices. She taught me to care about school." My guest completed his  Engineering degree at WPI, Worcester Polytechnic Institute.  Though very successful, he felt as though he wasn't satisfied. At this crossroads of his life, Alan felt as though he wasn't "as focused on the inside-out, I was focused on the outside-in and I didn't realize it." Loosing his father at 2 1/2-3 years old was crushing for the entire family and says  "loosing a father very young, it takes a lot of humility to admit that you need hope. Hope inspires others to better their best."One thing that Alan struggled with is that he didn't feel that his mother's advice  matched her actions. "No one ever really led by example. So I've invested the last ten years, time and effort, on my own  self improvement." Alan is now the CEO and Podcast Co-host of Next Level University as well as the Co Host of The Conscious Couples Podcast. Alan is a business and life coach. He'll help you stay focused, track your progress and achieve your best life. SOCIAL MEDIA:Social Media:www.facebook.com/alan.lazaroswww.instagram.com/alazaros88https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanlazarosllchttps://www.nextleveluniverse.com "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

What IS conscious discipline and does it REALLY work? In this episode I discuss conscious vs collaborative parenting, the need to look at the emotions behind our kids behaviors and the importance to respond with empathy and compassion.

Katie chats with Jillian Romero Chaves, the founder of Clara for Daters - an app that helps singles track their dates and make better choices when dating. We track a lot of things in life we want to improve or make progress on so why not track your dating journey? Jillian shares her own dating experiences and how tracking her dates on her own app has helped her learn more about herself and the type of person she is looking for. Tune in to learn how to navigate the modern dating world with more self-awareness and positivity. Tickets to July's Blind Dating LIVE show KEY TAKEAWAYS  Clara for Daters helps users track dates by asking helpful post-date questions, enabling them to make better choices in the early stages of dating. Tracking dates helps daters stay accountable, recognise patterns, and focus on qualities that matter in a potential partner. Multi-dating, or going on dates with multiple people, can help anxious attachment styles by preventing fixation on one person and encouraging a slower pace. The data from Clara confirms that conversion rates from dating app matches to in-person dates are low Focusing on enjoying individual connections and learning from each date brings you closer to finding the right partner, rather than fixating on the end goal. BEST MOMENTS "Dating intentionally means going on dates. If you can be on the apps and saying you're dating intentionally and never go on a date, that's not dating intentionally." "Don't focus on that big end goal. Just focus on those connections in the moment and it'll get closer." "I feel like that's what you learn the more you multidate - you have these conversations, then you're like, okay, now I feel comfortable to have it again if it came up." "It's important that we have that safe space to reflect by ourselves. It's important." "The whole idea is we're trying to make dating fun again. It is tough and you can't sugar coat it, but you can do things as tools like Clara to help get better." VALUABLE RESOURCES Clara for Daters - https://www.clarafordaters.com/ Single Sounds - https://www.instagram.com/singlesounds/   ABOUT THE HOST Katie McNamara - London. I started Single Sounds to create a new fun method of dating as I felt that there is now little variety with how to meet people. I absolutely love podcasts and believe in the strong sense of self you can get from them so I thought it was perfect for a dating medium. As I like to say this podcast is for people who have too much personality for a dating app. Katie McNamara: https://www.instagram.com/katiee.mcnamara/   CONTACT METHOD - Linktree - https://linktr.ee/singlesounds  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/singlesounds/  singlesoundspodcast@gmail.com   Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey There!Why do you think most people can't keep New Year's resolutions? What if I invite you to a new way of looking at New Year's resolutions, ones aligned with power and not force?And if you've been listening in for a while, then you are familiar with The Map of Consciousness by Dr. David R. Hawkins and his renowned book Power vs. Force.In our collective evolution of consciousness, you can see where we are, based on some popular memes or quotes like "May the Force be with you" from Star Wars or the statement Love is a force unto itself is an oxymoron. In consciousness, LOVE is a superpower in the 500s. In understanding consciousness, you will accept that you don't want "The Force" to be with you. In reality, you want the power to be with you.On the Map of Consciousness, FORCE is anything below 200 on the map, and anything at 200 or above is power.So in today's first episode of 2024 called, Forget New Year's Resolutions Consider a New Approach---- we will look at what's going on in consciousness, or your energy field, regarding failed New Year's resolution attempts and provide a pioneeringly new paradigm.Stick around until the end for this week's featured calibration of the week, which is the energy or consciousness of New Year's resolutions in general. Is it of higher consciousness or lower consciousness to make New Year's resolutions?What do you think?Other resources mentioned in this episode:E #195: Harnessing the Power of Fields: A Simple Method for Making Better ChoicesJoin Faye Li Yip in Experience a Cascade of Healing w/ Qigong Join Yuval Ron in Discover a Harmonic Path to Hope Through Ancient Sacred Healing SoundsJoin Stewart Pearce in Receive Love-Light Energies From the 12 Angels of Atlantis 4 Pathways to Personal Healing.

In this thought-provoking episode of "Daily Mind Medicine," @taylorawelch addresses a common theme he's observed: the tendency for individuals to hop from one opportunity to another without realizing that success lies within themselves, not just in the opportunities. Taylor delves into the crucial need for personal responsibility and ownership in our lives. He argues that breaking free from evolutionary patterns and victimhood is essential for true growth and survival.

The choices you make every minute of every day influence the life you live and the person you are. So, you want to Make them wisely. A choice might be… “Hmmmm, will I have that bowl of almond mocha ice cream, or not?” Almond mocha ice cream is my all-time favorite, so the choice is harrowing.  I can choose to eat the bowl of ice cream, knowing I'll have to spend an extra 30 minutes or more on the treadmill tomorrow, or I can choose to forego the ice cream and feel sorry for myself for at least the next hour or so. Heck! I choose to eat the ice cream anyway, knowing that I may as well have rubbed the entire bowl straight on my belly, but also accepting the fact that the price I will pay for 2 minutes of glorious ice cream today is 30 minutes or more of hard push on the treadmill tomorrow. Nevertheless, I made the choice and I take full responsibility for making a choice that may not have necessarily been the right one. That's what making choices is all about – taking full responsibility for our actions. The more choices you make, and the more you realize the world won't fall apart either way, the more control you gain over your life. Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/)  Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/.  Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573.  Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  I'm the author of many books, including, Excuses Don't Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, and the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.   Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™

It's okay that people hold versions of you in their mind that you don't agree with. It's also inevitable. Reaching out to an ex to explain what “really” happened doesn't usually help anyone, and might even hurt them. If you know your truth, does it matter that others don't? Can you release the need for validation and let them process the relationship for themselves? Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!
