Podcasts about mental imagery

Welcome to 30 Days of Mental Skills, where I'm breaking down the 9 core psychological skills of peak performers. Each day, I'm posting a new video discussing a key aspect, including Mindset, Motivation, Goal Setting, People Skills, Self-Talk, Mental Imagery, Managing Stress, Emotional Agility, and focus and attention. This material is adapted from my lectures on the Performance Psychology module, which I taught to undergraduate students. Be sure to check out Essential Mental Skills to find out more.The first thing to say is that you can't. Motivate yourself, that is. You cannot muster sufficient willpower to overcome the challenges that await you. Willpower has limits, it is a finute resource. You know this already, surely. Despite our best and honest intentions, most of us fail in our pursuit of goals. They say, don't do the weekly shopping when you're hungry, avoid social gatherings when you're off the drink, and don't go on holidays when you're in the middle of a fitness plan. It's all because these things are potential banana skins in the pursuit of goals. In moments of weakness, our best intentions let us down. There are other factors, of course, such as maybe we took too big a leap, or we didn't create the right environment, or we didn't have sufficient peer support. In other words, motivation is not something you can switch on and off.Motivation, just like other mental skills, is not a conscious faculty. Instead, you either have it or you don't, and it's either intrinsic or extrinsic. It's something we tap into once our goals are aligned with our values. I'll discuss this more in the next video, but for now, it's essential to know that motivation comes more easily when our goals are aligned with our values. Willpower, or self-regulation, comes into it too, but researchers seem to agree that it appears to be a finite resource. You can influence it, however, and you do so by building a support group around you, hiring a coach, and creating a structure that will help you succeed. That's where this material is headed.Here's an article on this topic;Essential Mental Skills Is Launching SoonThe Essential Mental Skills Course is launching soon. It is a structured introduction to mental skill development and contains lecture videos, slides, resources, a workbook, and kicks off with a live group Zoom orientation call. This course brings together what I've learned from my 30 years in business, 10 years in psychology, lecturing and private practice experience in a single system to help you achieve better mental health and optimise your performance in work, sport or business.

On this episode Lars speaks to Sebastian Suggate, who is a professor in education at the University of Regensburg in Germany. We talk about his early research into reading instruction, on the difference between it is possible to learn to read and when it is optimal to learn to read, the importance of oral language and vocabulary, the effectiveness of reading interventions, and the simple view of reading. We then talk about his more recent research into mental imagery, what this is and why the concept has seen a lot of debate and controversy (especially the debates between Stephen Kosslyn and Zenon Pylyshyn), and how it relates to different topics like reading, fine motor skills and screen time during early development, aphantasia (the inability to form any mental images), and the different theories about the role of mental imagery in cognition and memory.  For a list of Sebastian's publications, see: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=no&user=119RxMgAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate  Author website: https://sebastiansuggateresearch.com/  Articles and books mentioned: Pylyshyn, Z.

Did esoteric practices originate from Christian traditions? How did medieval scholasticism influence the esoteric use of imagination? And can the boundaries between kataphatic and apophatic methodologies shed light on the diverse spiritual landscape of Europe's past? Join us as we uncover the pivotal role of imagination within mystical practices, challenging the notion that esotericism stands apart from traditional Christian thought. From the affective piety movement to the intellectual currents of high scholasticism, we explore how the imaginative faculty has been a bridge between sensory experience and divine insight, deeply integrated with the Christian kataphatic tradition. Discover how thinkers like Bonaventure shaped a legacy of visual contemplation that resonates through esoteric practice today. This journey isn't just a historical exploration—it's a reevaluation of how we perceive the nexus of faith, cognition, and the pursuit of gnosis.

Have you ever created a vision board or done a meditation that involved imagery or imaging yourself in a certain situation?  If so, then you have used the technique of visualization.  Visualization is touted as a tool of manifestation culture, an almost magical mystical process of visioning what you want to create and drawing that reality closer.The reality is that visualization is a powerful tool when combined with action in the world.  And here at the crossroads of woo and pragmatism, there is also science backing up its effectiveness.In this episode:Why visualization works (how it affects the brain)Studies showing the power of visualizationDifferent types of visualization practicesHow visualization strengthens abstract thinking and the default network of the brainVisualization to increase creative problem solving and resilienceGet your Nourished for Resilience Workbook Here:  http://www.nourishednervoussystem.com/resilienceworkbookRelated Episodes:Episode 11 - Why What You Think MattersEpisode 14 - This is Your Brain on MeditationReferences:Slimani M, Tod D, Chaabene H, Miarka B, Chamari K.

Storytelling is a potent tool for learning because it aligns with key principles of cognitive psychology and educational theory. Here's a brief explanation of why storytelling is such a powerful instrument for facilitating learning:   1. **Engagement and Attention**: Stories have a unique ability to capture and sustain learners' attention. When we're engaged in a compelling narrative, our brains release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and motivation. This heightened engagement ensures that learners are actively focused on the content.   2. **Contextualization and Relevance**: Stories provide a meaningful context for information. They place facts and concepts into a relatable narrative, making it easier for learners to connect new knowledge with their existing schema (mental frameworks). This contextualization enhances comprehension and retention by anchoring information in a relatable and memorable way.   3. **Emotional Connection**: Storytelling evokes emotions, which can significantly impact learning. Emotionally charged experiences are more likely to be remembered, and the emotional context of a story can help learners better understand and remember complex concepts or ethical considerations.   4. **Visualization and Imagination**: Stories encourage mental imagery. When learners visualize the events in a story, it activates the brain's sensory areas, making the content more vivid and easier to recall. This imaginative process fosters a deeper understanding of the material.   5. **Narrative Structure**: Stories often follow a structured narrative arc with a beginning, middle, and end. This framework provides a logical sequence that mirrors the process of problem-solving or decision-making, helping learners grasp complex ideas by breaking them into manageable parts.   6. **Identification and Empathy**: Learners can identify with the characters or situations in a story, allowing them to put themselves in the narrative. This fosters empathy and a deeper connection with the content, as learners can relate their own experiences to the challenges and triumphs of the characters.   7. **Retention and Recall**: Stories are inherently memorable. People tend to remember stories much more effectively than isolated facts or statistics. This makes storytelling an excellent tool for long-term retention and recall of information.   8. **Application and Transfer of Knowledge**: Stories often present real-life scenarios and dilemmas. This enables learners to see how the knowledge or skills they're acquiring can be applied in practical situations, promoting higher-order thinking and transfer of knowledge to real-world contexts.   In summary, storytelling taps into our cognitive processes, emotions, and innate sense of narrative structure to create an immersive and effective learning experience. By leveraging the power of storytelling, educators can enhance engagement, understanding, retention, and application of knowledge, ultimately creating more meaningful and impactful learning experiences for their students.  

Join Karaleigh in an interview with the insightful and resilient Devorah Kur. Devorah works as an SEP (trauma therapist), Reflexologist, a clinical Logotherapist (meaning oriented) and Bereavement counselor. In her wellness clinic she also incorporates Mental Imagery which uses the mind to help us heal. She is passionate about helping people through their illnesses, challenges, and struggles in life and work to empower them to the wellbeing of their mind, body, and soul. Her forte is to help people ask, “What now?” instead of asking, " Why me?" Her book, 'Man's Search for Healing' explores how to be an active participant in your own healing journey with case studies and personal examples. A year ago she broke her neck and had the opportunity to 'walk the talk' to healing. Favorite takeaways: 1. Within each of us we have this defined power of the human spirit to overcome difficulty and struggle. And even when outside circumstances are so challenging and so hard, we still have an opportunity to change ourselves, to change how we respond to hard things and difficulties. 2. Circumstances don't make a man, they reveal him to himself. 3. Whatever I'm dealing with now- maybe I just haven't given it enough time for the miracle to happen. 4. We don't ask why me, we ask what now. We always have a choice. We can still choose how we will respond. 5. If you look deep into the ground underneath the oak, you'll never find the acorn, because it has to disintegrate for the growth to take place. When a seed goes into the ground, if it wants to hold onto its identity in this way, then it's just going to stay a seed. But it has to go through some kind of rotting process and disintegrate to become something bigger. 6. When we refuse to receive, we limit other people's ability to give. 7. While you are incredible how you are right now, you deserve to grow. Find Deborah's book “Man's Search For Healing” on Amazon.

Last December, with Argentina minutes away from a World Cup championship, friend of the show Yoel texted David “congratulations.” David was furious, and soon after (with less than 2 minutes left in extra time) France's Mbappe scored a game-tying goal to send the match into penalty kicks. (Argentina ended up winning or Yoel might have become ‘former friend of the show.') David says he doesn't believe in jinxes at all but his actions suggest otherwise. We talk about a paper on this phenomenon of “half-belief”: when your behavior and your stated beliefs don't align. Plus Tamler and David take a survey and discover that they lead radically different inner lives.  James Steele's Tweet  Caspi, A., Shmuel, E., & Chajut, E. (2023).

This part 1 of an exciting 3-part series in which we explore the effective use of performance enhancement imagery. In law enforcement it is generally accepted that officer mental toughness and mental focus is critical for great decision making and performance. Despite this, very few trainers utilize any type of formalized mental training program. In multiple other domains, the use of mental imagery instruction to increase learning, enhance performance and improve adaptive decision-making has been used for years with proven positive effects. In this interview, Dr Adam Nicholls discusses the research findings of the effectiveness of using mental imagery training in sport. He discusses the proven benefits of mental imagery, the content of effective mental imagery, internal vs external perspectives, the imagery ability of the performer and how it can be enhanced. In addition, Adam discusses the PETTLEP imagery model and considerations for applying it in your training and coaching. Dr Adam Nicholls is a professor of psychology at the University of Hull, UK. Adam's main focus of research is on psychosocial support to athletes and coaches ranging from grassroots to elite level. Adam is also an accomplished BJJ competitor and in 2021 he won silver at the British Open in gi and bronze at the 2022 no-gi British Open. Dr Nicholls is the author of the textbook ‘Psychology in Sports Coaching' published by Routledge press. In this important book, Dr Nicholls devotes an entire chapter to the effective use of mental imagery.
