When it comes to losing weight and improving your overall health, one of the most effective tools is self-monitoring. Tracking what you eat, how you move, and even your emotional patterns can provide valuable insights that help you make informed decisions and stay consistent with your goals.

I'm not sure about you, but I did not get a lot of training in self-management when I was a graduate student (but cut me some slack... I was in an EAB program!). If you're in the same boat as I am, then you're in luck. In Session 288, I'm joined by Katie Croce and Jamie Salter, and in our conversation, they provided their unique strategies for fostering self-management using the Self and Match system. We get in to how they developed their unique approach to self-management, how they've refined it over time, the relationship between self-monitoring and accountability, research supporting these practices, and lots more. If you want to learn more about this approach to supporting individuals to become more independent, sign up for their mailing list, or consider picking up a copy of the Self and Match manual.

Overcome Your Screen Addictions! Featuring Dr. Brandon Vance Today we interview Dr. Brandon Vance, the Founder of the wildly popular Feeling Great Book Clubs and many other psychoeducational groups for the general public as well as shrinks. Today, he tells us about his latest group designed for people with the newly named "screen addiction." Dr. Vance formed this group because of many recent research studies suggesting a link between the time spent with social media sites and increased feelings of loneliness and depression in teens and adults. Although correlational studies do not prove causality, many of these studies are compatibles with the hypothesis that excessive time on social media may reduce the quality of moods as well as personal relationships, to say nothing of the potential negative impact on work and productivity. On the podcast he gave examples of how technology has been built into our lives, and how eqsy it is to pick up your cell phone, even in the company of others. However, screen addiction can also involve tlevision binge-watching, video games, and more. We demonstrated an example of the Devil's Advocate Technique, one of many techniques help combat positive thoughts that suck us into screen addictions. For example, Rhonda loves and frequently gets tempted to binge-watch a show on wedding dresses (Say YES to the DRESS), because she tell herself things like this: This is really fun. Would i like that dress? Would it look good on me? Maybe my wedding dress wasn't as pretty. I'll only watch for a minute. I need to relax. This is not hurting anyone. My husband won't mind that I'm gone. I can talk about the dresses to some of my friends. I work night and day and deserve to watch. in the live role-play, 'Rhonda was able to defeat these tempting thoughts "huge." If you think this might describe you, or benefit you, or just be fun and educational, here's the coop about the Screen Addiction Group, as well as his next Feeling Great Book Club and his Five Secrets Deep Practice Group. Free Yourself from Mindless Tech Use (Jan22-Feb26, $180 for 6 hour-long sessions).  Do you get on your phone every time you have a spare second?  Do you think social media will make you happier and yet you feel more lonely or stressed?  Do you stay up late fighting video game zombies and then turn into a zombie the next day because you're so tired? This 6-week online class will teach you powerful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (such as Self-Monitoring, Triple Paradox and Devil's Advocate) led by Brandon Vance, MD, all within the accountability and support of a group of peers to Free Yourself from Mindless Technology Use. The Feeling Great Book Club (two groups: Feb 24 - May 12 and Feb 26 - May14. $168 for 12 80-minute sessions, sliding scale).  Join together with people all over the world in this popular online class in a book club format, to read the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy book Feeling Great by David Burns, MD, and learn and practice tools to break through depression and anxiety to live a more joyful and relaxed life.  See live expert demos and join smaller breakout groups to practice what you learn in this sliding scale weekly online group. 5 Secrets Deep Practice (Jan 15 - Feb 19th and Mar 5 - Apr 9, $180-480 sliding scale, 6 90-minute sessions).  David Burns, MD laid out 5 key ingredients that make communication highly successful to get closer to each other, even in conflict situations.  Learn to use these 5 Secrets in your own life with expert demos and instruction and 1-1 practice in this 6-week online group. Rhonda and I strongly recommend these groups because active practice is the real key to learning and personal growth The support of others in the group can also lift morale and enhance accountability. If you want to change your life, this is a great option. Dr. Vance is not only a tremendous visionary and teacher, but he also has a huge heart. You'll find that these groups are ridiculously cheep but incredible treasures, and you can also contact him if any group looks appealing but you currently have limited means. Thank you for joining us today! Warmly, Rhonda, Brandon, and David

Management of Diabetes is like a table supported by four essential pillars: Diet, Exercise, Medications, and Monitoring, but this table is incomplete without a table top which is “Education”. Of these four pillars one of them is glucose monitoring which plays a critical role, typically done through three methods: 1. Glucometers: Capillary blood glucose monitoring involves using a glucometer for precise measurements, which can differ slightly from venous blood levels. Evert PWD's should learn Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG), this requires individuals to use a glucometer at home for informed insulin dosage decisions. 2. HbA1c Monitoring: Measures long-term glucose levels, with an ideal level below 5.7% for non-diabetics. 3. Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS): Emerging technologies in glucose monitoring include interstitial glucose monitoring with sensors that provide real-time data for up to 15 days, allowing for better management of blood sugar spikes. Invasive methods, such as implantable sensors and non innovative devices like glucose-monitoring watches and contact lenses, promise to enhance convenience in diabetes management in future. Dietary considerations are significant, especially regarding the glycemic index (GI) of foods like rice, which affects blood glucose levels. Consulting a dietitian for portion sizes tailored to individual needs is recommended. Recorded at Akashwani Nagpur on the 26th July 2024.

In the last five years, one hundred million Americans have started to monitor their credit reports with TransUnion for the first time. One hundred million. And the same thing is happening all around the world. But just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean they're doing it for the same reason: some consumers are in a bind and looking for a way back to good credit; some are planning a major loan and want to optimise their options; some want to make sure everything is untouched and as it should be. So, in their latest global study of the phenomenon, TransUnion set out to see if each of these goals is being helped by the credit self-monitoring, and I'm chatting to Charlie Wise to find out what they learned.Charlie is Senior Vice President, Research and Consulting at TransUnion and is on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-wise-959570/TransUnion is at https://www.transunion.com/ This particular research is also being discussed here for the US and here for the UK: https://www.transunion.co.uk/lp/consumer-monitoring-motivationsPlease seek me out on LinkedIn, too, where I'm open to all genuine new connections - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange - please also follow the show's page while you're there.Meanwhile, my action-adventure novels are on Amazon, some versions even for free, and my work with ConfirmU and our gamified psychometric scores is discussed at https://confirmu.com/ and on episode 24 of this show https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-24And finally, I'm also co-creating a new podcast called hAIghtened senses which will look at the intersection between human senses and technology, especially AI-powered technology.

In today's episode JR and Kolby talk about the importance of self-monitoring in fitness and how it can lead to better results. They discuss different methods of self-monitoring, such as using apps, notebooks, or fitness journals. They highlight the benefits of tracking food intake, physical activity, and body weight. They also mention studies that support the effectiveness of self-monitoring in weight loss and increasing physical activity levels. Tracking and measuring various aspects of our lives, such as health, finances, and time, can lead to improved outcomes and overall well-being. Additionally, tracking goals and creating a plan can help individuals stay focused and motivated. Consistent tracking and measurement can lead to positive results and a better quality of life.Chapters00:00Introduction: The Importance of Self-Monitoring and Tracking15:50Chapter 1: The Power of Self-Monitoring: Achieving Significant Weight Loss18:15Chapter 3: Drawing Parallels: How Tracking Translates to Better Health Outcomes21:57Tracking Food Intake for Weight Loss and Nutritional Awareness25:13The Role of Wearables in Real-Time Health and Fitness Tracking40:16Tracking Attendance, PRs, and Membership Length in the Gym Setting

Innovation comes in many forms, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Today, I visited with well-known compliance professional Jay Rosen to discuss how companies can improve their compliance programs through self-monitoring. Jay Rosen is a seasoned professional with a background in investment banking and a keen interest in ethics and compliance programs. Rosen's perspective on ethics and compliance programs is shaped by his extensive analysis of FCPA enforcement actions over the past decade. He believes that companies should carefully consider their internal setup before deciding whether to bring in a third party for assistance. He suggests that while an outside perspective can sometimes lead to a deeper investigation, a mature ethics and compliance program with sufficient resources in-house can also be effective. Rosen emphasizes the importance of objectivity in these programs and proposes a compromise of working with a fractional monitor if the company lacks the necessary headcount. He sees the increasing use of data analytics and self-reporting as key factors in improving ethics and compliance efforts within organizations.

KEYNOTE SLIDES Proverbs 4:23 (NIV), Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. What is Self-Awareness?  It is the ability to examine yourself and be honest with yourself. Self-awareness is a mindfulness that gives you the ability to recognize and understand yourself. You are capable of observing your thoughts without being your thoughts. (Paul Scanlon) What is Self-Awareness?  Ability to be aware of motives, actions, inclinations, and source of your beliefs. Self-recognition, Self-Perception, Self-Monitoring, Self-Regulation, Self-Editing (Internally auto correcting), Mindfulness, Awakeness (woke) You also become aware of people who are not self-aware.

One common barrier we hear to people achieving their health and weight loss goals is a lack of self-control or self-discipline. We believe self-control is a short-term strategy, not a long-term one. You're more likely to reach your goals if you have a strong “why” and systems set-up for your success. But you will always need self-control in the little moments of decision during the day that put you on the trajectory to make better, or worse, subsequent choices for the rest of the day. Tracy Pleschourt, the Founder of Self-Made U and the Host of Secrets of the Self-Made Podcast helps men and women achieve their goals and solve all problems FAST by developing SELF-control.

When we discuss reinforcement, we usually think of things like token boards and other ABA therapist strategies. However, learners can also be taught to regulate their own behavior and become active participants in their own learning through behavior contracts. Here, we dive into the definition of behavior contracts and how we can use them. A behavior contract is a written agreement that outlines expectations, timeframes, and rewards for specific behaviors.With many students, a behavior contract isn't the first intervention, it's something we work towards. Students who are already familiar with and understand a token system can more easily transition into a behavior contract. As students get older, it's important for them to be responsible for their own goals. Behavior contracts give them ownership over their lives and access to their own reinforcers. We discuss the benefits of this strategy, how to introduce the concept to students, and tips for making your behavior contracts a success.What's Inside:The benefits of behavior contracts and how to use them.Which students benefit the most from behavior contracts.Tips to make your behavior contracts successful.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramEpisode 070: The Importance of Self-Monitoring with Jamie Salter & Katie Croce

In our final episode on behavior, Alexis speaks with Ashley East. Ashley has been a kindergarten and first grade loop teacher for ten years. Ashley loops two academic school years with her students, therefore typically having the same group of students for two years. She shares the advantages and disadvantages of this model and how the unique benefits of looping can be used to impact any classroom. Ashley shares the importance of using a tiered instructional perspective for behavior expectations. She shares insight into determining when a student may need more than the universally designed instruction for behavior. One of Ashley's unique approaches is a self-monitoring behavior scaling intervention that students complete everyday. She shares with Alexis how this scaling activity works for students, teachers, and their families. Ashley shares her emphasis on explicitly re-teaching all behavior expectations after extended breaks from school and how to embed that into daily routines. Their conversation comes from an experienced perspective and is filled with easy tools to implement in any classroom.    Resources:  Explanation of Self-Monitoring for Improved Behavior Transitional Kindergarten Improves Outcomes Calming Corners

G'day Folks, Thanks for tuning in to Season 5 Episode 3. On this one Ethan and Andy join me to discuss new announcements to upgrade our cities like Sydney and Melbourne to be SMART cities. Similar how we discussed this about Brisbane's upgrade for the 2032 Olympics on the last episode. What does this mean? High tech surveillance state upgrades like camera networks, sensor driven autonomy, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G integration and possibly coalescing a high-speed rail connection to other SMART city hubs. Remember what SMART stands for? They don't mean intelligent. It stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, & Reporting Technology. Australia's 5G network is now at full potential. Over the last 2-3 years the 5G rollout has been ramped up while the scamdemic had everyone locked in their houses. More towers went up and more towers got upgraded. Anything previous to now was being run on the 4G network infrastructure. But now 5G Standalone is here. Full potential has been reached. What does this mean and what does it possibly mean for us? Listen and find out. USA and UK have recently banned the use of Chinese made security cameras being used in government facilities. This was on the back of the National Intelligence Law passed in China that compels Chinese companies to pass on information to the Chinese government. Straight up spying is what it is. Does this mean that China based social media company Tik Tok must hand over any data the Chinese government wants? Short answer is yes. China has been quite blatant about their eavesdropping in recent times. There was even a Chinese spy ship gathering electronic intelligence in Australian waters for 3 weeks in November last year. But is Australia going to follow suit with it's allies and ban the use of Chinese made CCTV cameras in Australian government buildings? Or is our government going to turn a blind eye to their spying here? If so, why? Could it be because of our Governments rush towards a Chinese style Social Credit System?

Jamie Salter and Katie Croce are the co-authors of the Self & Match System. Jamie is a trained school psychologist and BCBA and spent time as an administrator in special education. Katie's a BCBA and has been working as a behavioral analyst since 2006. She's worked in public and private schools, inpatient hospitals, and in homes. Today, Katie works at a university within the school of education where she teaches applied behavioral analysis to undergraduate and graduate students. Self & Match is an evidence-based self-monitoring system that's been manualized. Jamie and Katie noticed that self-monitoring was often left out of a practitioner's toolbox. They synthesized all of the research on self-monitoring with an accountability component into a format where professionals could pick it up and implement their own system. Here, they walk us through the five core steps of the Self & Match system and why it stands out from other interventions. They also show how to adapt the system to each learner, as it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. We discuss how Jamie and Katie fell in love with self-monitoring, the advantages of the strategy, and more. On November 8th, Jamie and Katie will be giving a hands-on webinar on self-monitoring, complete with tools you can use to get started right away.

The eight key executive functions are Impulse control, Emotional Control, Flexible Thinking, Working Memory, Self-Monitoring, Planning and Prioritizing, Task Initiation, and Organization. Early identification and intervention is important for helping individuals with ADHD to reach their full potential. Dr. Colleen Cullinan is back for part 2 in Dr. Gaggino's series on ADHD. They pick up where they left off on Episode #88 (the link to the episode is below). You'll hear a deeper dive into the strategies and specific techniques of caring for the ADHD child.  According to a 2016 CDC report, about 3 in 4 US children with current ADHD receive treatment. Let's take a closer look at some of the other stats on that report.   62% were taking ADHD medication Ages 2–5: 18% Ages 6–11:  69% Ages 12–17: 62% 47% received behavior treatment Ages 2–5: 60% Ages 6–11:  51% Ages 12–17: 42% Altogether, 77% were receiving treatment. Of these children: About 30% were treated with medication alone. About 15% received behavior treatment alone. About 32% children with ADHD received both medication treatment and behavior treatment. About 23% children with ADHD were receiving neither medication treatment nor behavior treatment.  [00:30 - 08:17] Opening Segment Dr. Gaggino introduces us to Dr. Colleen Cullinan Dr. Gaggino and Dr. Cullinan pick up where they left off from Ep 88 [8:18 - 10:37]  The diagnosis should be a “strength based model”   The Hyper focus of an ADHD child will activate that chemical excitement in their brain. “Attention Deficit” is a misnomer What is the true definition of ADHD?

This episode is a follow up to episode 68 on assessment cluttering. It's about treatment, using the M.O.R.E. approach. More than a to do list, M.O.R.E. is a framework to help clients first make the cognitive changes that will lead to behavioral changes.  M.O.R.E. stands for motivation, ownership, recognition and earned fluency. If you've been wondering how to help a client who has plateaued in cluttering therapy, today's episode is for you! Wondering what earned fluency is? Vivian Siskin shared this brilliant insight in a fluency course—“You don't learn anything from unearned fluency, you do from earned fluency.” Episode 69 will guide clinicians to helping clients get to earned fluency.  And because assessment and treatment of cluttering can get—well— cluttered,  there is a cheat sheet for the M.O.R.E. approach in the free resource library. 

This is part one of a two part series. Episode 68 covers nine areas to assess when treating cluttering, while part two covers the M.O.R.E. treatment technique. In part one the following assessments areas are discussed: syllable collapse articulation  mid sentence revisions  lack of complex language run on sentences missing details and context in personal narratives syntax prosodyrate of speech

Ask David: Featuring Matt May, MD 1. Nick asks: “What if you want a positive relationship with someone who does not want the same thing?” 2. Debbie asks: Hi David, I can't stop ruminating and obsessing about weird states of minds or when I was afraid of harming someone or remembering. Everyone says to let go but why do I hang on. Where in your book can you help me? 3. Dean asks: I'm having trouble sleeping. What should I do? 4. Kathy asks a question about social anxiety / panic and the hidden emotion technique. Note: The answers below were generated prior to the podcast, and the information provided on the live podcast may be richer and different in a number of ways. 1. Nick asks many general relationship problems that all need specific examples. Dear David, Thank you for all the amazing work you do. Your books and podcasts have helped me to understand and start to transform a lot of negative and unwanted frames that I carry around. I'm also working with a Level 3 therapist who I found through the Feeling Good Institute. One area I'm working on is building my empathy skills using the Five Secrets model. I see how powerful it is in situations where both people are open to a positive relationship. But I struggle with the idea that each of us creates our own interpersonal reality, and can always create a positive outcome regardless of the other person. Can you help me understand how to apply the technique to some challenging situations? - What happens if you want a positive relationship with the other person, but they fundamentally do not? I find that this situation leads the other person to react to the Five Secrets with anger or indifference. Or they view you as weak for exposing your emotions and vulnerability, and try to exploit them for advantage over you. Is it even worth trying to have a positive relationship with such a person? David's reply I try not to impose on people who do not want a positive relationship with me. You could also provide a specific example, as I always insist on having! These vague questions to my ear are kind of useless. Matt's reply David, you've said that the cause of all relationship problems is Blame.  I agree with this and sense that Nick's question is driving at that point, as well.  If someone doesn't want to participate in our definition of a ‘positive' relationship, the approach that is most in line with the 5-Secrets and Empathy is to let go and stop demanding the other person change.  That's the cause of the problem:  trying to force people to do things, our way, regardless of what they want.  This will cause them to resist and will damage the relationship. David, you have also talked about the opposite mindset of blame, where we can wield 5-Secrets honestly and effectively, the concept of ‘Open Hands'.  When we have the attitude of ‘Open Hands', we can welcome other people and receive them or gracefully let go. This mental state avoids conflict and the ‘blame game' in a healthy, non-avoidant way. For example, if someone says, “I don't want to have a relationship with you”.  We might reply, using the 5-Secrets, ‘You're right, I've been disrespectful and inappropriately pushing you too hard in the direction of having a relationship with me.  I appreciate your letting me know, clearly, that this isn't something you want.  While I can imagine you might be angry with me, I'm sure you don't want to talk about that, but prefer, instead, to end the relationship as quickly as possible.  I'm feeling awkward and would like to get out of your hair as soon as possible, too.  What can I do to facilitate ending this relationship in a way you would be satisfied with?” To put it another way, while you can maximize your chances of having a positive interpersonal experience with someone, using these communication skills, the 5-Secrets, they are not ‘mind control' and trying to use them that way will only make matters worse, hence the importance of the internal mindset of ‘open hands', accepting others' preferences and being willing to let go, perhaps grieve, refocus our attention elsewhere, if that's not what they want.  Otherwise, we are in the ‘chasing' and ‘blaming' role, which is doomed to fail, as has been discussed on previous podcasts. It may also be useful to consider whether it's actually possible to ‘not have a relationship' with someone.  My sense is that there is, in fact, a relationship, even between total strangers and between people who have decided, mutually, to end their relationship.  We could point out how those two types of relationships might differ, say, if you were to bump into each other in a grocery store.  In the latter example, you might be expected to try a bit harder to avoid contact, with an agreed-upon, ‘ex' than you would, with a stranger.  There are rules and expectations and ways in which both people think about the other person and define their ‘relationship', even if you are saying that it has ‘ended'.  The conflict comes when we don't have the same agenda and don't agree on the terms and rules of the relationship. There are many other related topics, including the ‘gentle ultimatum', ‘interpersonal decision making' and ‘blame CBA' which could be useful for Nick. Nick continues - What if you believe the other person does have a fundamental desire for a good relationship, but they are so attached to their anger, fear or depression that their only reaction is hostility and defense? Perhaps such a person can't or won't admit to their emotions, and rejects the empathy. Should you keep trying, and at what point if any should you give up? David's reply Need a specific example! I may have mentioned that! Matt's reply:  A specific example sure would help!  The problem seems related to the ‘blame game' which we just talked about.  We are demanding the other person change, and stop being so hostile and defensive.  Instead, consider using Interpersonal Decision Making and look at the three options that are available, in any relationship.  If you decide to take responsibility for the relationship, try the Relationship Journal, so you can see through the blame that is causing the problem.  You could also use positive reframing to admire their hostility, defensiveness, anger, fear and depression. Nick continues: Perhaps there are mistaken or lying about the facts, and unwilling to admit it. Or you disbelieve what they say because it doesn't match their actions or is calculated to deflect blame. For example, you may have a conflict over who cleans the house. The objective fact is that you do this 80% of the time and have done it the last 5 times in a row, while the other person has consistently left garbage lying around. Yet the other person says "I feel like you never do housework and I am always the one cleaning, and I'm sick of it". How can you find truth in such a statement? David's reply Work this out on a Relationship Journals. Write down what you said next, and follow th steps clearly spelled out in Feeling Good Together. Or, I could send you one. Matt's Reply Disarming is really challenging because it requires us to let go of our version of the ‘truth', at least temporarily, in order to see the other person's truth.  People often don't want to do that, even for a moment!  Furthermore, if the other person is angry, they are likely to distort the truth in their statements, for effect, to be more persuasive.  The problem with this, is that it will call our attention to the lies they are telling, tempting us away from seeing their truth.  Without knowing more about the situation, I could only guess at what their ‘truth' is.  Here are some possibilities, though:  Is it possible that they have some reasonable expectation for us to do more of the cleanup than them?  Are they offering something else in the relationship that offsets their lack of cleaning?  Do they do the majority of the cooking?  Do they do the shopping?  Do they pay more of the bills?  Also, were they the last one to do the cleaning?  When they clean, do they spend more time on it or do a more thorough job?  When they clean, do they clean up their things as well as yours?  Do you do that?  You stated that they leave their 'garbage lying around'.  Is that how they see it?  Is it possible that they put their things precisely where they wanted them to be and didn't want you ‘tidying up'? The point is that disarming requires seeing the bigger picture, not just the one data point that best supports your blaming them.  Try to see past this and, if you can't, considering Interpersonal Decision making and the Blame CBA, where you would write down the good reasons to blame the other person and insist that your version of the truth is complete and correct and that theirs is wrong and bad. Nick carries on - What should you do in situations where you both have attachments to other incompatible goals? In Lee's case on episodes 96-98 of your podcast and Chapter 27 of Feeling Great, both Less and his wife had the same fundamental values with regard to raising their daughter. So once he applied the Five Secrets, they were able to move past their ego defenses and share the same perspective. But what if there is a zero-sum situation where both of you have different core values? For example, choosing a grade school for your child. One parent sincerely believes in their core values that their child will benefit from attending a rigorous school where they will be challenged and grow. The other parent sincerely believes in their core values that children should be in a relaxed environment where they can play as much as possible. Can the Five Secrets help with this type of conflict? David's reply Read the chapter in Feeling Good Together on the idea that the attempt to solve the problem IS the problem, and the refusal to solve it is the solution. I think you've got some work to do! Now we'll see if you do it! Matt's Response In this case, you could agree to disagree and let a professional decide what would be best for your child.  Studies conducted longitudinally by Chess and Thomas showed that no one parenting style was ‘best' overall, but rather that outcomes for human being were determined primarily by how well the parenting style suited the child. 2. Debbie asks: Hi David, I can't stop ruminating and obsessing about weird states of minds or when I was afraid of harming someone or remembering. Everyone says to let go but why do I hang on? Where in your book can you help me? David's reply You can read my book, When Panic Attacks. You can use search function on website for many illuminating podcasts on anxiety and OCD. You can sign up for the free anxiety class. Go for it. Then ask specific questions about something you're working on based on these resources. Matt's reply Well, you're not alone!  Nobody can ‘stop ruminating'.  Try a mental experiment, where you try to ‘stop ruminating about a blue-eyed tiger'.  Tell yourself, ‘I must stop ruminating about a blue eyed tiger!  I must stop ruminating about a blue eyed tiger!'.  You will come to realize that it's Impossible and the harder you try, the more you obsess.  One possible solution is to find something else, something better, to become the focus of your attention.  Imagine a ‘Miracle Cure' were possible.  What would you most wish to see happen in your life? You could then use the Decision Making Form, to weigh different options, comparing the miracle cure to the status quo, for example.  There are, after all, real advantages to ruminating and obsessing.  You might have a sense that you're being responsible, protecting others, preventing yourself from going into weird states of mind and harming people.  This is part of your moral nature, doing no harm, being considerate and thoughtful, sacrificing your needs for others.  That's a good thing!  Also, you might be afraid of committing to pursuing your dreams, for good reason.  There are real disadvantages of doing that.  The risk of failure, humiliation, conflict, disappointment and defeat, for example.  Until you are convinced that you would want some other version of your life, despite the many advantages of rumination and the disadvantages of change, other methods are unlikely to be effective.  If you firmly decide and are committed to change, meaning that you have convinced yourself that this is what you want, on the Decision Making Form, then there are lots of methods that could be helpful. For example, you could use the Get Specific method and an assessment of Process Resistance.  When do I want to be cured?  What would I be willing to do, to have my dreams come true?  What are some small steps I  could take to get there (Anti-Procrastination / Little Steps for Big Feats).  What time will I do these tasks?  Sit down and schedule time in your day to pursue your dreams (Activity Scheduling).  If intrusive thoughts come in, try ‘Self Monitoring and Response Prevention'.  If temptation is especially tenacious, try the Devil's Advocate Technique.  I'd recommend looking into things like the ‘Hidden Emotion'.  Is ruminating a form of ‘niceness', an avoidance of a conflict?  For example, who are you angry with?  Have you told them?  If you go live your best life, who would object?  You can also give yourself a certain amount of time, per day, to obsess, wholeheartedly (worry breaks).  How much time would you like to spend ruminating?  Schedule this time and if you're ruminating outside that time, remind yourself that you have plenty of time to ruminate later.  Again, there are a lot of methods that could help and finding the right ones will be a bit of trial and error! 3. Dean asks: I'm having trouble sleeping. What should I do? Hi Dr. Burns, I picked up a copy of 'Feeling Great' and am excited to start reading it. I have been battling anxiety, depression, and severe chronic insomnia for the past year. Do I start with TEAM-CBT for anxiety/depression and deal with that first, or do I supplement with CBTi-for Insomnia and do both at the same time? I met with the Mayo Clinic last fall and they said the root cause of the Insomnia is some depression. I have been to a lot of doctors, specialists, and therapists and so far no one has been able to help. Thank you! David's reply I am not familiar with the insomnia app but it can likely give you some of the basics of sleep hygiene in case you do not already know them. TEAM can be helpful, to say the least, for the mood or relationship issues that may be triggering the troubles sleeping. Often, we may have trouble sleeping because we are upset about something. Sleep difficulties are a non-specific manifestation of being upset about something. There is no special relationship with depression, however. It could be anxiety, anger, anything. Let me know what evolves for you! And, of course, sleep difficulties do not always result from emotional disturbance, but this is often the case. For humans, problems don't usually just come from out of the blue, but from your life! David Matt's reply The best response to the question, ‘How do I get to sleep at night', that I've heard is, ‘try to stay awake'. Meanwhile, I have a couple of thoughts on diagnosis and treatment planning. Having a diagnosis of ‘anxiety' or ‘depression' is like having a ‘diagnosis' of ‘cough' or ‘fever'.  Our feelings are symptoms, not the source.  g.  if someone has symptoms of a cough and fever, that could be the result of any number of different underlying causes:  bacteria, viruses, fungi, allergic reactions, autoimmune disease, toxin exposures, etc., etc.  To make more accurate guesses about an appropriate treatment regimen, we need greater specificity.  In the treatment of symptoms like depression, anxiety and insomnia, we would need to know much more about a specific moment in time when you were having these symptoms, what you were doing, what you were thinking and details about the feeling state you were in before deciding how to prioritize the methods that would be part of a treatment plan, which we call a ‘recovery circle' in TEAM. In medical school, they train physicians to ‘cast a very wide net', when considering all the possible causes of the symptoms a patient is experiencing. This list of possible causes is referred to as a ‘differential diagnosis' by physicians.  The idea is to organize this list according to what is statistically most likely given all the information we have on hand and to conduct various tests to narrow down these options, in order to prioritize a treatment strategy that is most likely to be effective.  Meanwhile, we want to keep open in our minds that our diagnosis could be wrong and that we will need to monitor the outcome carefully, with frequent testing, rather than assume we know the ‘root' problem with 100% certainty, so we can modify the treatment strategy based on results. While it's tempting to try to try to optimize treatment results by matching the diagnosis with a ‘school' of therapy, (ERP for OCD, EMDR for trauma, DBT for BPD, etc.), there are several problems with this ‘schools' vs. ‘tools' approach to therapy. For one, the reality is that people are quite complex beings and diagnostic labels are quite imprecise and limited.  Even when we have an accurate diagnosis, we can't predict precisely which specific set of methods will be required to help someone recover.  Furthermore, even if someone has the exact same set of upsetting negative thoughts related to their anxiety, depression and insomnia, perhaps their thoughts circle from ‘I must get some sleep, I'll never get to sleep, I'll feel terrible tomorrow, Everything will go wrong, I'm a hopeless case, I'm a loser…I must get some sleep (repeat)', even if the thoughts are the same in multiple different people, we can only make informed guesses, rather than predict, perfectly, what method(s) will suit that individual best.  Will it be the double standard technique, or cognitive flooding, sleep restriction, the hidden emotion, the Socratic technique or memory rescripting, self-monitoring or response prevention, something else? The solution to this uncertainty is the Recovery Circle. The ‘recovery circle' is a customized list of at least twenty methods, that are selected based on the specific feelings, thoughts or behaviors someone would like to see change.  Each of these methods will have some reasonable chance to help an individual, with their particular thoughts and feelings and behaviors.  The idea is then to ‘fail our way to success', using trial-and-error, with measurement in between, to discover, scientifically, what is the best method for that individual.  Once we do, we focus on practicing that method regularly to gain skill with it, until our patients are not only cured, but able to recover from relapses on their own, because they know the methods that are most helpful to them. Another consideration is that, in general, folks benefit from an approach that is kind, empathic, respectful, grounded in science and measurement, and attentive to resistance and motivational barriers to change. One reason I would recommend TEAM to a family member or friend is that it contains each of these necessary elements of therapy and also has the greatest diversity of tools to help someone, as well as a customized approach to treatment.  I think that's why TEAM has been shown to be much more effective than other forms of therapy. All that said, it's important to realize that TEAM itself is incomplete and we would want to continue to expand up the model and, when you're in treatment, know that it's fine to get a second, third or fourth opinion on what methods and approaches are most likely to benefit you. 4. Kathy asks about social anxiety, panic and the hidden emotion technique. Hi Dr. Burns, Thank you so much for all the great information you put out there! I had a question about hidden emotion. If I experienced dizziness in a social setting ten years ago and now I panic whenever I am in a similar situation anticipating the dizziness. Is there still a connection to the original emotion that is still hidden or is it a habit at this point? Thank you so much David's reply Were you upset with somebody or something in that situation? Matt's reply: You could use uncovering techniques, like the ‘What If' Technique and the ‘Interpersonal Downward Arrow', among others, to figure that out. For example, ‘what if you got dizzy?  What's the worst that could happen? You can write down your answer, and continue to ask yourself, ‘what if that happened, what would I be anxious about?'.  Then, as yourself, if that happened, what would other people think about me?  How would they treat me?  What kind of people are these people, I'm imagining?  How do I feel about people like that?

Today we are talking to Sachin Patel, a personal health advocate and author of the Perfect Practice, about his 3 favorite wearable self-monitoring health tools. He talks about why wearable technology is a great way to receive immediate feedback on how your body is responding to interventions that you are beginning to implement. Such as adjusting our sleep time and meal time. These devices also monitor how these changes affect our overall internal systems within hours of using these wearable tools.     Oura Ring – This device tracks your respiratory rate, your REM, and how much you are tossing and turning while you sleep.     CGM – Continuous Glucose Monitor. This monitor shows the fluctuations in your glucose by measuring the interface between cortisol and insulin throughout the day.     HeartMath – This device measures HRV. HRV measures the resilience of your nervous system. This device gives instant biofeedback and it helps you by using your breath to get into a state of healing.

In this episode we discuss the 3rd Scientific  Law of Life & Leadership, Self-monitoring and report out. This process is unique and takes advantage of the simple act of measuring one's own pinpointed behavior which can change the frequency of that behavior. It is powerful because it promotes awareness of whether pinpointed behavior is occurring and creates further motivation through the accountability associated with reporting out to a valued individual. We also discuss how to use self-monitoring to improve mental/behavioral health!
